this statement is false
I'll go with true.
A fun detail is that all the franken cubes fry and die after hearing the paradox, but Wheatley is still fine.
Really? I didn't notice that.
I didn't either till someone mentioned it in a speed running video
Was that Msushi? I think I heard that same fact from him.
I think so. I've been watching a lot of his videos recently, so that's make sense.
I always wondered why glados is fine, just saying because she's a potatoe doesn't sit with me because she recognised the paradox herself, so she must know what a paradox is and understand why it's dangerous for ai
I think she was intelligent enough to temporarily shut down the portions of her brain that would be effected. At least that was my take.
I always saw it as her just saying in her mind, "This. Statement. Is. False." thus just being some four individual one word sentences.
That is plausible, but she saw the sign and read the paradoxes on the signboard - surely just seeing the paradoxes written on the sign would have caught her off guard. I guess it doesn't matter, they just wanted to do a funny moment and it was still good
Yeah, the implication being that in a typical Sledgehammers-To-Crack-Nuts solution to a nonexistent problem, Aperture put full-blown, totally sentient AIs in their cubes/turrets that were at least as intelligent as Wheatley.
Also I only just noticed that Bagley from Watch Dogs is very, very similar to Wheatley.
but then it wouldn't be false
