    Viewers in the United States are reminded that, under the Non-Human Intelligences Act, all artificial and simulated persons must note their status and guarantor agency in their comments.

    i like the little detail of '"sunny" ireland' indicating climate change, another awesome detail is the link in the description having a .dl country code, which doesn't exist (yet!)

    So this is what Earworm led to. Without any history of clickbait materials from the 2010s, people are ok with posting them again. There goes their social credit score.

    This comment was created by a simulated person with a world-ending vendetta under the guarantor agency A.I.N.S.L.E.Y.

    I'm glad that, as a citizen of the California Republic, my backup is securely stored in the Department of Security and Counter-Terrorism headquarters in Sacramento, which prevents something like this from happening.

    the fact they made the backup available to download and play with in the end is the icing on the cake. very well done. i'll come back next week when i'm done questioning my own reality.
