The gravitational pull is stronger on the left side so you have to account for that or else you'll just sail around in circles. /s

The device also has to account for the location of your mom.

(sorry, I couldn't resist)
Most sailors spend their whole lives sailing around in circles
Easy to correct - just keep the Skipper in the center of the boat. Gilligan's pull is negligible.
What in the dickins?!
We're gonna need a bigger drone.
Eh, boat or submarine drones can be as big as you want, and the device will only get smaller (and better).
Quantum freaks me out.
How can we possibly make a point we are not in a simulation.
Well, can you make any predictions about the future state of the simulation from present and the rules you think you've got right? Just because it is something "computed" from a previous state doesn't mean that you can compute it yourself...and...if you can't make predictions...it is just conjecture (limited by our imagination of the state of the art, which now is a simulation, but it used to be god's creation, then clockwork, then a machine, now a computer/simulation. I can't imagine what the conjecture will become in the future...hopefully not some shitty spatial diffusion+LLM model where hallucinations are wavefunction collapse to unlikely values, lol.
Because it would be immensely stupid

Wow, more AI. For some reason. This doesn't sound like it needs AI but the investors would pay less, of course!
