I'm puzzled. What's the nature of their game?

Whoo-woo!

--- Quote from: BenRG ---The only remaining hope of getting them now is Corpse Witch's own memory logs of the procedure.
I doubt that They will be particularly gentle in extracting them.

Now we find out whether the Squid Collective is sincere when they say they value sanctity of mind. Will they respect Corpse Witch's mental autonomy?

My guess:
They're not going to do anything to her mind, per se.
They're just going to lock her in, and leave her there.
Forever.

I think "there" is another "immersive virtual environment" like the one where Creepybot bid Bubbles goodbye. So it would be CW's consciousness locked in, not her chassis or her physical substrate. Someone (Jeremy?) would discover her chassis unresponsive, and by all appearances dead.
Which opens up some interesting lines of inquiry about the nature of AI consciousness, if it can exist apart from the physical core.

IMO that would look too much like her consciousness was just deleted. That is what many will think upon seeing CW's chassis in that condition, that she was just "murdered".
Far better I think, if it is found that CW's AI core substrate is active, with her consciousness operating, but no matter what they try, not Bubbles, nor Faye, or anyone else will be able to "reach" her. No physical connections will work, wireless signals will get no response. CW will be there, but locked inside her own head, unable to reach the outside world. For extra horror, we see that CW is aware of the attempts to reach her, and she attempts to respond, but no one "hears" her. Eventually they give up and put her AI core on a shelf, and she's last shown screaming desperately for someone, anyone to hear her. Talk about an And I Must Scream scenario...
pwhodges:
That's almost as if you've been reading the latest couple of chapters of the manga Noragami (in which a spirit which defies heaven is sealed in a tiny box unable to move and unable to die for eternity).
TheEvilDog:
What's the AI version of a lobotomy?
Because I get the feeling CW is going to suffer one...
