--- Quote from: Morituri on 10 Dec 2016, 23:55 ---No one has ever claimed that the memories in question are Bubbles' own.
--- End quote ---
At least a couple of people have done so, either implicitly or explicitly.
--- Quote from: Morituri on 10 Dec 2016, 23:55 ---There is an entire other dimension of possibilities if you just imagine that Bubbles may fear the revelation of someone else's memories.
--- End quote ---
Yes, definitely.

--- Quote from: Zog on 08 Dec 2016, 22:28 ---What if she had CW store the memories simply because they were to painful to remember , but CW has convinced her it was because she did something horrible. Maybe she even suspects that this is true and is even more afraid to lose them because of that.
--- End quote ---
I realized that it was not easy to see here that I meant she suspected that Corpsewitch was lying about the "something horrible".
Also my take on the key thing was that Bubbles had encrypted the data in her own memory, but that that type of encryption was only meant to hide it from someone else who got access to an AI's memory. If they tried to access it themselves it would be automatically decrypted. (most AIs would not need to hide memories from themselves). So she gave Corpsewitch the key and deleted her copy so that she could retain the memories without being ambushed by them. The "people" thing may also have have been an invention of CW.
retrosteve:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 11 Dec 2016, 01:17 ---I don't think that Corpse Witch is threatening to unencrypt Bubbles' traumatic memories. It's more nuanced than that. Right now, Bubbles doesn't want to deal with them but the fact that she didn't tell Corpse Witch to just delete the key immediately suggests to me that she wants the option open to confront those memories in her own due time. What Corpse Witch is threatening to do is to take that option away by deleting the key.
I suspect that there is also the possibility that Corpse Witch could be threatening to broadcast the key on an open frequency and then unlock and then reseal the memories at random occasions as an attempt to mentally torture Bubbles.
--- End quote ---
The first is precisely my reading of the threat. The second is speculative but I wouldn't put it past CW to think of it if she were pissed off.
TheEvilDog:
Of course, Corpse Witch could be a literal form of the Dead Man's Switch.
Is it cold in here?:
Corpse Witch held up her hand to her face after Faye punched her. Why? Presumably they have damage sensors but Jeph has said they don't perceive it as pain the way meat-based people do.
