i think the like, mind clones theory is the most likely to occur, yknow now that it does have very nearly textual confirmation, and also feels like the direction the show is most interesting in exploring, in terms of, the value of sentience, and at what point we consider something alive/worthy of living!

because the point of Gummigoo, as a character, is to serve as a humanising element for Pomni, but also to specifically draw into attention to what degree we can consider these AI 'real' which encourages us to consider Caine and Bubble 'real' in turn, emphasising the tragedy of their existence

jax's whole philosophy is the most pessimistic view on this, that both the AI, and the characters are not real, and Kinger's appears to be most positive, clearly mourning AI creations when they are lost (most obviously Caine)

but all of that is of most interest! if we engage with the possibility that Jax is in fact correct, that the characters are, explicitly, in universe, not 'real', and how they handle the fallout of that in the context of the rest of the show's position on the AI characters already

someone tell me why my first response was "me when the autism hits" I- 💀
