--- Quote from: Wingy on 17 Oct 2019, 05:39 ---Compare Roko's ghost-of-the-present with Roko in her new body in 4072,  I'm thinking Jeph just missed a few necklines.  But maybe that's just the new modelsheet and deliberate?

--- End quote ---

Maybe Yay's lack of neck-seam was deliberate as well, then.  New model of robot body, perhaps something Yay's been working on...

The new ghost could be her future body...   One way that Yay could help Roko without meddling with her mind would be to meddle with her body instead - use whatever resources Yay has to fabricate new bodies, and build a customized one for Roko that has been custom-tuned to "fit" right.

--- End quote ---

I see that, hints of the future of android bodies?  Maybe Yay will offer May a prototype body? At a zero percent interest loan?  May will prolly tell them to cram it.

For comic #4115... (Aileron homebrew Labrador laundry chicken.)

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron

3.

4. laundry = the endless struggle & headache :psyduck:

5.

[Yes, that is Jeph Jacques (right) with a chicken. :-D ]

mattjaco:
Could "Aileron homebrew Labrador laundry chicken" be like "Cirrus, Socrates, Particle, Decibel, Hurricane, Dolphin, Tulip" from the movie "A.I."? A series of seemingly meaningless, disconnected code words that activate some hidden function?

brasca:
Am I the only one who was expecting one of the Roko copies to sing “Hello me.  Meet the real me and my misfit’s way of life.”

BenRG:
I suspect that, right now, Roko desperately wants to have a psyche that works normally, thank you very much. What she doesn't know is that, actually her psyche is working normally and this is about the best you can expect from a dream when it comes to revealing something hiding well away from your consciousness.

I love the slap-fight in a ring. Could we have discovered the spectator blood sport of the future?

Regarding future!body's message, Evgeniy Semeonov over on Patreon was able to translate it quite well:


--- Quote ---Aileron - something that helps you steer or stay afloat (in air or water)
Homebrew - something you cannot purchase, something personal and close
Labrador - a dog famously known as a good and loyal friend
Laundry - to make something clean slowly, but without inflicting damage
Chicken - famous euphemism for a scared person

So, symbolic translation will be: "Help to your personality will come from unique close friends and it will wash away all your fears and anxiety".

Simply put - trust Yay and Melon more, they got this.
--- End quote ---

My own interpretation is closer to: "Direction will be something that comes from non-'official' sources: from good friends. However, making things better will take time and effort; it's okay to be scared." (FWIW, I'm not sure if "chicken" is "it's okay to be scared" or "don' t be scared" but I'm leaning to the former.) As this is coming from Roko's subconsciousness, it is (or course) something that she already knows but, as it is encoded in such a way, it is something that she has still yet to realise and/or believe.
