WCDT strips 4346 to 4350 (7th September to 11th September 2020)
Mr Intrepid:
I'm wondering if the root cause lies in the similarities between Roko's old and new chassis. There's just enough difference that conflicts arise between the two that conflicts arise and the disassociation kicks in.

other than the relative trauma of the process, mentioned earlier, it does seem like a possibility, from the outside. You could forget that whole thing happened, just occasionally.

Lord willing, she's not the QC equivalent of Unity.

Well, I dont know how much it factors in, but its definitely not decisive. The main factor is definitely the vocal cords.
The human voice works much more like a string instrument than a flute or trumpet. If you give a violin a larger body, but keep the strings at the same length, tension, material and diameter/weight, it will sound different but it wont change much in regards to tone height.
For example, in ages of old eunuchs have been sopranos and altists. Despite having the body of grown men, they still had high pitched voices like a woman or child.
Likewise tall women still have female voices.
Likewise short asian men still have male voices. I know a guy who is about 1.50m and he still has a male voice. Heck the actor Peter Dinklage is 1.32m and he still has a male voice.
Likewise when people get more fat, or get more muscular, or get larger lungs from living at higher altitudes, their voices dont get lower.
Likewise, when you expand your range of possible tones you can sing, a big part is making your vocal cords stronger through constant training, so you can raise their tension. The possibilities to expand your range downwards are much more limited; you can really only learn technique, but not train any muscles for that.
So yes, the vocal cords are the main factor for this.

As a point of comparison, bugs in today's neural networks can in fact be difficult to diagnose and fix. [...]

Well, you basically already explain why yourself, but the choice of words "difficult" is really incorrect. Its simply impossible, not merely difficult.
Unless your neural network is really tiny and the task trivial, they are completely impossible to actually diagnose, because you cannot possibly find out what the AI is really doing, and therefore you cannot actually fix anything.
All you can do is stuff like trying to train the AI more hoping it gets better at its job, add even more circutry to the AI so it gets more "intelligent", or train a completely new AI from scratch hoping it works better this time.
