No, "The Game" works only as long as you accept to take part in it, to give validity to the empty statement that you are now inevitably playing "The Game".

The Basilisk is meant to force that onto you, outside of any arbitraty convention.

TIL.

It sounds like it's mostly a matter that does not involve the AI but the people working on it, maybe even working on it because of the fear they are subjected to after being the subject of this revelation (possibly by other people involved in the AI that coincidentally are the only ones that could push for such a thing to be included in the AI!).

Something something any cult, paradise/hell, God/AI has nothing to do with this and could even not exist at all.

Dark matter and dark energy are not necessarily connected to black holes. The latter are relatively well understood on their own.

Yes but also no, the whole appeal is tied to her brand (her public image x the character HER), unlike Woody who is an original creation.

It's like doing a commercial using a lookalike dressed like the original guy and pretending that's a completely different actor.

Or you can record yourself buying stuff holding a newspaper and your ID.

A lot of guys in my generation have most of their savings in crypto.

No they do not.

dwindling7373 , to Showerthoughts in The reason prosthetics are so good in Star Wars is because the Jedi use live lightsabers to train.

There's very little Jedi in the Star Wars Universe so it's reasonable to consider the advancement of prosthetics in this universe indipendent from lightsabers.
