I would likely just short the little battery so it resets.

It looked like she's missing out on the whole dimension of pain receptors. The feature would be better if it simulated the pain it would bring. As otherwise you have that feeling of never having to feel responsible for your actions, also imagine Pintsize unable to do 'pap pap pap...'
DaiJB:
Huh.
Weird how the randomly-chosen poll fits in neatly with the subsequent events...
Apparently, Jeph's answer is: "No"

--- End quote ---
There's a simpler solution that doesn't require Spookybot: Roko has the means to support a chassis' maintenance, but wants out of her chassis; May can't afford to support her chassis. If they swap, then May gets a chassis that requires a lot less maintenance, and Roko gets a different chassis (not necessarily better for her, but at this point she may be willing to take the chance).
--- End quote ---
I think the situation would be worse. May’s low grade chassis is likely less sensitive and thus Roko would feel constantly numb.
Tova:
I have been mentally constructing scenarios where Roko gets a different chassis that she feels comfortable with and May gets Roko’s current one. Not sure how that works though.

I do seem to recall Roko complaining that the sensors in her current chassis being too sensitive. May’s chassis would probably be too far in the opposite direction, but Roko may be willing to take that chance just to get out of her current situation.
