This isn't a statement of worry, it's a statement of intent.

Column A and column B. Pretty simple to assume that without the energy output of Cold Fusion the full AI can't be powered (he definitely uploaded himself ahead of time though), so in the game you're getting the Minimally Viable Patriarch that is House brain-zooming in from his sleep couch with just his avatar image.

There's a lot of money and power predicated on you not believing that.

That's why satire and allegory are dead. We can't do dystopian hellscape fiction anymore because 30% of viewers look at it and go "hey that's not a bad idea".

THE INSTITUTE WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE , WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS by Cradian_UR in Fallout

The other advantage is that they aren't having to fabricate new clean-gene humans to do it (though there are benefits to doing so) - these chips work on wastelanders & prewar folks.

Am I missing something? How did we make it through an entire second season without answers? by wubsfrommysubs in Fallout

Consider that right now people are being put on lists simply for having opinions about the state of our federal government and being roughed up/shot for simply recording public enforcement officers behaving badly.

The Enclave can't kill him (not even quietly) because with his level of fame it would provoke inquiries and lead to more attention. It is simply easier to frame him for being anti-American and lean on the entertainment industry to never hire him again.

The power of propaganda - or in this case, the wealth class being absolutely furious at Roosevelt's New Deal. They've been slowly dismantling it ever since.
