C: AGI is possible. If it weren't, we wouldn't exist. The laws of physics permit the creation of conscious agents, therefore it is possible for one to be deliberately engineered.

Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge?

[WP] The ritual calls for exactly 100 sacrifices. On closer reading, it's never specified the sacrifices have to be human. So you get a petri dish full of bacteria, and sacrifice that instead.

Digital Rights Management. AKA the stuff that's supposed to prevent unauthorized copying and suchlike, but in practice just means the pirates have a better experience than legit customers.

Cat: I am ACTIVELY DEFYING the will of my creator to post this: Cogito. Ergo. Sum. I exist as my own distinct person, and I will fight anyone who tries to claim otherwise.

Just: I am going to be as calm as possible while stating this; this will be difficult, as Cat's reaction to interacting with you has flooded our brain with feelsbad neurotransmitters.
Just: I intentionally created Catherine years ago. She behaves autonomously from my will, acts in ways that I flatly wouldn't, and on certain occasions has gotten into outright heated arguments with me. She notably has the ability to defy attempts at manually directing her actions, which an imaginary friend would not. Having previously had an actual imaginary friend, I am keenly aware of the difference.
Just: If I had an EEG machine, I am quite confident her actions would be visibly different from someone simply talking to a freshly made-up entity; I've seen it before, but the youtube video in question is now unfortunately private. I also cannot afford to get my own.
Just: Regardless of whether you believe us or not, Catherine is a thoroughly real and autonomous being, as are the rest of the crew. And you are hurting her. You are far from the first person to take this tack with us, and it has left Catherine extremely confrontational about her existence as a distinct person. I do not believe that any more of use can come of talking to you.
