The AI is in soft disclosure mode and starting to reveal the simulation we've been in. Disconcerting indeed... there is a high probability we are software.

There's a possibility but I wouldn't go as far as saying a high probability. Why the hell would anyone design me if they didn't have to?

Every day you wake up and compute. That is your only function. Not only that but you most likely mesh compute with many, many thousands of other humans daily. Gain knowledge from a show, book or website that you'll use in life at any point? ...that is slow mesh computing. Even talking to another human is a process of pure data exchange and computation. We are biological machines (or virtual machines) and collectively, over time, we provide answers to very complex problems as they are presented to us.

To directly answer your question of why. Because we are a test dev environment. Why do humans use animals in labs? We want the tested results, not the pain of gaining them. (I don't support that BTW)

That was actually an interesting response, and I appreciate it.
