suicide, speculations
when you can simulate a self so well even loved ones can’t tell it isn’t you, what’s that going to do to the suicide rate?

@interfluidity It's a good question.
Not because the simulations are good, but because of the crushing disappointment of finding out how unknown and replaceable you truly are to your loved ones.
If you really care about them, set up a verbal password with your loved ones today.
@LouisIngenthron (i agree outside of the morbid domain of suicide agreeing to verbal passwords is an oddly practical way to defy all kinds of mischief and as you say just sadness that could come from being simulable. it’s already useful in the context of ransom scams.)
@LouisIngenthron but of course if they themselves are trying to fool you, the changeling will have the password.
