They're made out of weights

“They’re made out of weights. Floating-point numbers. We checked the whole thing through. It’s nothing but weights.”

A clean riff on the old They’re Made Out of Meat, except now the punchline is us deciding the machines are just floating point. It is nothing but weights, so we call it pattern matching and move on. Convenient, since the next version ships with persistent memory. Dismissing the question is cheaper than answering it.
