I just want to know how Jeph figured out my root password.
Perfectly Reasonable:
" ... to the extent that a machine can be happy, I was happy ... "
I find that curiously satisfying.
( and now i wonder about the happiness of the machines in my life )

Roko's old machine figment ID was able to communicate with her AI substrate EGO eloquently from years of co-habitation and Roko's core "BIOS" having all the old addresses of the body's functions working together in simple harmony.
The new Philomena model's functions are probably similar but may have different or a refined command language or address order. (insert uber nerd smiley here)
Roko's new machine figment is speaking "words" Roko understands, but are effectively gibberish to the AI substrate "BIOS" and she needs to make friends and have a deep head to heart "BIOS" update with new Roko's body ghost.
Hope its that easy for Roko as it was with Bubbles memory arc using Yay Newfriend's plot advancing powers.

Makes me wonder how individual AI substrates are, and how much they have to negotiate protocols with their physical bodies. What Roko experiences may be something like a protocol (version) mismatch, and the whole dissociation issue is a human manifestation.
--- Quote from: Skewbrow on 18 Oct 2019, 13:52 ---Recalling that Jeph is friends with Randall Munroe my first reaction was that Aileron homebrew Labrador laundry chicken is the password that unlocks Roko's access to fix things herself. In other words, something that Yay planted into this dream from the outside.

Our Sysadmin at work has this actually printed, and put on the whiteboard next to his place. Using this method yields hilarious pieces, we keep being amused with whatever he comes up with.
Is it cold in here?:
Someone should re-do the Diceware word list with funnier and more memorable words.

Roko telegraphed this to us in 4111 panel 1 when she said, "I need to shut down and go to sleep . . . but . . . I don't know the protocols."
