Just in case we needed a reminder that Roko really, really wants to get into this 'human intimacy' thing quite badly! So badly that she's having erotic dreams like poor Momo before her!
Of course, this raises the question that I suspect Jeph is going to play with for a while as to whether this dream actually meant
anything at all or whether it was just... well, just the usual randomness of a dream! When she is fully awake, we'll see whether anything has changed.
I'm sure some will be annoyed because 'dysphoria doesn't work like this' and they're right: it doesn't. However, do remember that, whilst she is doubtlessly psychologically modelled on humans, Roko
isn't human and the exact way her mind malfunctions and may be repaired could turn out to be very, very different. I'm sure people who suffer from dysphoria would love to be able to just alter their software settings and not have the problem at all anymore but it is quite possible that synthetics
actually do that once they get the right synchronising information (new!Roko's nonsense message may be that).
Well, there's easier ways to say "love yourself"...
Good point! That may be the subconscious message to that scene.
