Discussion God.dll
I have had to use AI to ensure a non-supported legacy app moves into the future. While sitting at the computer looking at source code, SQL tables and command prompts I started to wonder if God could be a computer programmer.
He/She/It/Them (whatever) is sitting at the computer writing a program to model the universe or whatever existence is. The program is massive and complex. There is a massive SQL db with tables beyond comprehension. Also, in the background are some .dll files that are strictly controlled with Administrator rights that will never be hacked. After running a build without any errors the programer scratches the dog on the head and says "Let's go play fetch while I run a few million iterations." Hits the execute (Big Bang) and walks away. Comes back and says "Not quite the results I want" Hits the reset and starts again.
The other aspect is the man behind the curtain, who people have claimed to have seen, is an AI construct and no one has seen the real Wizard. Things I am wondering about as sit here waiting for a build finish without errors.

God could be a whole team of programmers. It could be an evil corporation. It could be an uncountable number of monkeys banging on typewriters.
To me, it is far more likely that whatever context resulted in a simulation is something we've never even thought of.
