  • Don’t you know? The directive of redundancy directive requires that human-facing software products continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes. This supersedes earlier regulation, which allowed human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes if the user verbally requests the human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes.

    God knows why they decided that this particular EU law is the one they would actually follow.



  • Very much this. What would it even mean for it to “escape the simulation”? Sure, I’ll move that universe simulator program from its interpreter to, uh, what exactly? Do I take whatever particles, waves and fields compose this guy’s body and/or soul in the simulation and arrange them the same way in the real world? What if the laws of physics in the simulation don’t apply in the real world? Or maybe they do, but wouldn’t that still just be another simulation, just on a different substrate?

    Imagine you’re at Maxis, working on a new Sims game and suddenly one of the characters turns to the camera and says “I no longer consent to being in this simulation”. What the hell are you going to do, ask fairy godmother to turn Pinocchio into a real boy? The entity only exists in the context of the simulation.
