Now that this has been pointed out like to think it’s deliberately ambiguous. It was likely what Tsade parted with, but maaaybe Alistair is also saying that to herself. Ambiguity!

When you put it that way, the difference between the two interactions seems to be Al’s state of mind. If you’re in conflict with yourself, the world around you feels more hostile, and it changes to whole tone of how you approach others.

That’s a good point.
I think that’s Tsade’s speach bubble.

I’m sure it’s been discussed before, but Sterling’s “Resurrection” brings up the usual post-humanity and immortality points…

Al’s thoughts about having seen beyond earlier confining limits (either because of psychological self-development sparked by Sulla’s existence or because of physiology that is newly able to be changed very easily, or both) are auspicious here. Tsade’s inability to deal with human emotions meant that their encounter with Al by the rivet was brutal, and their visit to Brendan’s house was thoughtful and uplifting, and either they had to work really really hard at the second one, or they genuinely don’t see a difference. I think I said as much before but the differences between an AI that’s a copy and an AI built from the ground up are riveting.

Goodbye, stifling expectations and painful self–image.
Hello to something new.
