Today's xkcd is [1]https://xkcd.com/2438/ "is siri alive? No.  How did
   she die?  Alexa defeated her in a battle hinging on the ability to set
   multiple timers."
   This is easy to convert into mcboss material.  A vivisected researcher
   in computerised neuroscience tries to make choices that preserve
   peoples' independence, humanity, etc.  Boss discovers her and thinks
   she is trying to take over the business because their values differ,
   and both can observe the other using the automated systems.  (I might
   put this in the past, before the comic timeline here.  Maybe the
   experimentees replay the story in a burst of confusion, resulting in
   boss's death.  Or maybe this could go differently.  Boss is obviously
   an experimentee of sorts, too, but we're getting ahead of ourselves
   here.)
