I more took the software to refer to something in the store itself rather than spyware installed in Roko's firmware. I'm thinking of your usual security camera system but with emotion detection.
bright:
I wouldn't be surprised if the tracking software turns out to be Yay.
BenRG:
Okay, that's something else that's going to be hard to fit into any consistent timeline of AI development and narrative of how individual AIs are created and made ready for living: An AI college?!? How does that happen? I'm guessing that it's a virtual institution like Robot Jail and might work on a very accelerated time-frame. That said, I do wonder if Jeph has pitched his 'Robot Dumbing of Age' idea to David Willis?
That aside, I agree that the body shop probably has wireless sensors to detect if a newly-embodied AI is suffering side-effects and that is probably what paged Lemon that Roko was slipping into a trance state. I wonder what it works on? Does the chassis itself send a 'distress signal' if the AI itself becomes less responsive? Or are there symptoms on a wireless networking level?
In any case, Lemon is probably right that the first step in therapy is to get Roko away from any feeling that she is under surveillance!
snubnose:
I am a bit surprised that people dont understand what that tracking app is - its obviously a software that evaluates the shop cameras and detects behavior abnormalities.
Pretty much like some software nowadays tries to do the exact same with thieves.
It cant be anything inside Roko because the shop has no legal access to Rokos internals.
Also, in that case they couldnt move away from it - Roko would have this software all the time.
awkwardness:
I strongly disagree with Jeph about Robot College being like Dumbing of Age College: you actually graduate from Robot College, it'll take 80 years to gradate from Dumbing of Age college at the rate Willis is moving the storyline along!
