Somehow Bubbles knew Roko was being installed in her new body.  By the hand gesture, over the airwaves, of which there are several technologies is possible.  But a number of AIs have cell phones, and use them, so maybe only newer model bodies have a SIM slot?

As far as breastfeeding a cellphone goes, I agree that a charging port there is good planning and engineering.  Labeling the concept as "breast feeding", well, yes, that's messed up.    :angel: :angel: :angel:

And finally for today's musing, if Clinton gets told by Faye to cover his hand to keep it from getting all cruddy internally, why doesn't she insist Mays' hands have a covering?

I  hadn't spotted that.

Wingy:
Having a separate cell phone may be a performative thing like reading a physical book is. 

It certainly helps eliminate the perception that an AI is talking to themselves, though you'd think an implanted cell phone could have a separate electronic input that responds to simulated sound waves instead of real sound waves.  But maybe the apparatus still takes significant processing power that the AI involved would rather not be judged for the inward stare and tickets for distracted walking.  You could imagine what might happen if Crushbot was walking about paying attention to an internal phone call...

(N.B. - My own knowledge on 'mexican food' is limited to say the least!)

Look on the menu for entrees that require tableware and the variety will bewilder and delight.
