It looks like you've disabled our pointless, insecure, and wasteful gen AI features in this product. Are you sure about that? We've turned them back on and hidden the controls just to be sure.

What if The Magic Pudding is, effectively immortal ?
I mean... in a million years, when Australia is reduced to a complete barren wasteland , Is there going to be this.. *thing* stumping through the desert croaking 'eat me.. kill me.. please...' ?

"And this is it - The Euler-Wallis Transubstantiation Engine."

It just.. sits there, converting itself to energy - Perpetually.
