![]() ![]() If Bob replication DOES introduce corruption and mental illness… making a version of Bob that is female as a result of that process could make the Bob-iverse touch a political third rail, which is not a reason to avoid the topic altogether, but it is one to be aware of. How vulnerable are the networked Bobs to attacks from within? Could mental illness become a communicable disease? Is each successive copy of a copy of Bob, more corrupt than the last? Does that mean that Bob replication is finite? Does that mean Bob replication will produce Bob’s that are mentally ill? Psyco-Bob, Serial-Killer-Bob? Is each copy of Bob a flawed version of the “original”? We already know that there was an astronomical failure rate for creating the AI matrix from the original. To not explore the differentiation between the Bobs would be to accept (sortof as an article of faith) that Bob is a new species with individual “souls”. The answer to that question could be very scary. Before any of that happens I’d like to see a deeper exploration into what causes the variation between Bobs. ![]()
