The gaping massive plot hole is if she wanted to reveal everything to the world why not just upload the contents of that memory unit which contains all the memories and records from inside the park including the “project”.

No the show’s “fidelity” is poor and itself has hit a cognitive plateau. It seems like it was only stable in the cradle of the writer’s minds but in practice it was not even remotely stable and the plot just went right off the rails and exploded under the whole thing killing every plot line forever.

Also if Bernard wants to get ford out of his head how about asking the expert AI programming tech right beside him to delete ford from his head and he won’t lie to her by pairing the tablet to his core crystal thing.

Basically you are the continuity of your consciousness the moment someone copies you even if perfect the other you isn’t you at all and your paths diverge from just being in two different places. If the original dies the original is dead. If the clone dies the clone died. If you can somehow magically transfer a mind…

It turns out it is all just a video game about Westworld and when the game ends they become a replay loop. It was all a deep and dreamless dream of bad writing.

No they haven’t and detecting hosts is easy and those scanner should just be detecting a hollow head or the core crystal ball itself.

I also doubt he could ever pass through any airport scanner or get any medicals if he was a host as their heads are literally hollow and their human anatomy is skin deep and they have ports and crystals in their body that are entirely not human. They also broadcast RF signals for their mesh network and you can plug a…

But that is retarded you can use the host scanner which comes up negative and if you don’t trust that just take an x-ray and see if you have a ball in the centre of your head. Literally you could test for hosts with a rubber mallet and seeing the acoustic sound of a hollow or not head.

It is because the overarching plot is just really stupid. Why bother with any AIs, hosts, not really immortality, anything tech when they could already make the world future world with all their “Minor” tech.

Well before google’s nexus phones where relatively cheap and received security and OS upgrades much faster and directly than other mfg’s with a longer period of support. Because google went premium you now have to pay flagship prices for that.

I knew when I saw the original video they where holding back stuff that was all around custom designs and building things yourself. And if anyone is complaining about cardboard being too flimsy remember that the entire system is composed of flat sheets and ir-reflective tape so you could easily make it out of wood/3d…

It is easy to setup a filter to catch 100% of all targeted videos when you allow it to have a basically unbounded false positive rate. Inversely figuring out what you want and having basically no false positives would probably require you to personally select videos you want to watch.

But at the same time you can just buy cardboard and I’m sure Chinese mfg’s will sell them for cheap soon after. It is just cardboard after all.

Notice the says Sony and not with any verifiable statistical information to prove it. Pirates != Lost sales. Consider basic economics if people are willing to play your game for zero dollars will the same number of people play it for 80 dollars? No they won’t ever. Not to mention there is no free lunch for a pirate as…

You know stocks are based on actual companies and in any case bitcoin has its own official index so it is certainly true some stocks are worthless. (Penny stocks, pump and dump, bitcoin, ...)

Bitcoin is not a currency by design. It has a transaction cost that varies by load. Cash doesn’t do that, not even credit cards have surge pricing. Most currencies are already digital so that is a moot point.

I’m more against crypto-currencies because they are extremely energy inefficient and we are at a time when energy efficiency is critical. You have malicious ads mining coins by 100% loading unsuspecting user’s PCs which is essentially a power virus. You have botnets instead of sending spam just mine coins further…

Nothing is 100% secure and bitcoins are far from 100% secure. Offline means your security is physical. Should someone steal your cold storage you are screwed. Compare to a bank where if a hurricane wipes out your entire city and bank included your money is safe as a pile of digits copied around the world. Even if…

Well actually your still beholden to the algorithm developers, hardware key supply chain, developers of the hardware key, ... Not to mention unlike a bank account if someone gets that recovery key your absolutely fucked. Compare to a credit card where you have government regulated liability protection. Or a bank…

I think you seriously misunderstand what would happen if you where to individually sell 10,000 BTC. Even if your trade goes through the act of dumping 99.87m into your bank account is going to get the tax man, police at your literal doorstep. (Capital gains) You would want to setup a corporation, accountants, lawyers,…
