Huh? I thought she was just referring to the possibility that CW had left traps for anyone trying to decrypt the memories, as Bubbles herself suggested might be possible just a few strips back...

That's the first time that it's been implied that some AIs are afraid of Bubbles' experiences. It might explain why she was shunned and didn't get the help she needed if her peers (and those far up the intellectual ladder to her) found her experiences so horrifying that the didn't want to experience them, even at one remove.

If that's the case then one wonders how Corpse Witch could perform her operation while retaining her sanity. Perhaps she did this enough times that it might explain her attitude towards humans. If she was an AI who was used to deprogram battle drones and got to relive their experiences it might explain how she could be so jaded as well as how she would know about AIs like Bubbles in that predicament.
BenRG:
@brasca,
They're only damaging in the terms of innocence, not sanity (although I suppose you could argue the two are simply different ways of saying the same thing). Basically, lots of AIs don't have the courage to know just how bad the world can get from a first person perspective.

What if Corpse Witch herself is somehow encrypted? Somehow she "helps" (as she calls it) the other robots and then blocks out what she has seen in herself.
Clearly, I have no idea I know what I'm talking about, but what if there's a third party that has the encryption keys not CW (maybe Jeremy knows something).

Right. Maybe I've been playing devil's advocate for too long, but in fairness there's a lot we don't know about Corpse Witch and she may have sympathetic reasons for doing what she does. Faye is focused on Corpse Witch because she's a current problem for Bubbles, but what about all those AIs and people who turned their backs on her when she needed help? Corpse Witch was probably not acting out of altruism, but at least she helped and her demands could be a lot worse.
