One concept I got from Joi as it relates to Officer K is a system of control in the guise of compassion and love. It reminds me of what Tyrell says to Deckard about being able to control the replicants easier by creating a cushion for their emotions. I believe that the Joi program was Wallace's system of control for the Nexus 9 replicants, especially the Blade Runners. Just before Luv steps on the eminator and erases Joi she looks at K and says, We hope you've enjoyed our product. Bottom line, this is the most accurate description of Joi, she had served her purpose at making K more controlled and of course her antenna was allowing Luv to track K a majority of the film. Then at the end of the film when K sees Joi as the giant pink hollow shell that she is He sees that it was an illusion, and he can help real love thrive by reuniting a Father and his daughter, the most unconditional love I have personally ever known in my life. Thanks again for keeping this discussion going in all the directions it does, BR is part of my daily life, podcast included.
