--- Quote from: pwhodges on 23 Jan 2017, 00:37 ---Do AIs contain anything akin to logs of the actions performed by/on/in their brains? Perhaps Emily can track down logs showing that Corpse Witch did things which are in themselves incriminating. Or perhaps there might even be some record of the memories in logs which have been overlooked - that's the sort of loophole that can happen in our present IT systems.

I would be astonished if, outfitted in a military chassis and deployed on combat missions, there is not a complete record of everything Bubbles saw and heard while in a combat zone. Recording equipment is standard on military vehicles and has been for over a decade, and those records are kept for after-action reports and intel analysis. There is just no way that they'd have deployed her and NOT kept a record of her vision and hearing while deployed.
Those recordings won't have the 'internal monolog' and emotional feedback that go with first-person experience, but they'd sure as heck let her know exactly what went on.
After mustering out though, I sort of doubt they'd have been continuing to record or continuing to collect the recordings, so they probably wouldn't recover anything incriminating CW that way.

Bubbles is free. There are thousands upon thousands of people who would probably give everything they own to be able to erase painful memories.
With the memories gone, Bubbles can move forward with her life, free of the pain they caused her

Except this obviously isn't true. Those memories have been inaccessible for a long time and she isn't free of the pain. The trauma is still there, she just have any context for it and now can never face and address the root of her trauma.
Mad Cat:
My call: Not only did Bubbles never have any painful memories for CW to partition away and encrypt, but Bubs has never even been in combat. Her memories of having painful memories of her battle buddies are more synthetic than she is. I don't know how CW got Bubs "on the table" in the first place, but once CW was "diving beyond her ghost line", she deleted whatever the real reason was she used to get Bubbles to let her in there, planted the "mere fact" of having painful memories, and then encrypted a blank sector of Bubbles' mind to make it look like it contained the painful memories.
This whole thing has been CW's exercise in psychological warfare to secure to herself a slave AI in a powerful chassis to help her maintain, and I dunno, possibly expand, her criminal empire. I mean, she runs an illegal, underground, robot fight club. Her stock in trade is the misery of other AIs and their dependency on her. Does anyone dispute that CW would be capable of the scenario I've painted?

With the memories gone, Bubbles can move forward with her life, free of the pain they caused her and the control they allowed people to place on her. She is truly free now. CW won't fuck with her, she knows too much about what goes on there, she can just ride off into the sunset and begin a new life.
It is like the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch, "To Walk Away, You Have to Leave Something Behind."

WareWolf:
Here's a possibility: the 'pshoo' gun didn't destroy the beast: it absorbed it. The memories are now stored in the 'doink' projectile, lying about and ready for Creepybot to pick up as soon as no one's looking.
