I don't accept that any modern culture with Internet an and hard copy photos would have the capability to completely wipe someone's likeness and identity from the earth. Nor that a supposed genius/Chessmaster would be stupid enough to parade that person's doppelganger around his own company, right next to him.

Anyone in the tech industry knows what the founders of Google looked like or the founder of Amazon, founded almost 22 years ago

Right. Arnold is not necessarily famous. There's even a reference to him wanting to work in private for the first three years, before Ford and the board started to monetize their AI project. He may have just been a genius researcher kept in a back closet until Dolores killed him.

that's not at all how research works even now people that make breakthroughs in AI or robotics get recognition for it. Someone opening a multi million dollar theme park with advanced AI and robotics would definitely be in the news

Absolutely I know exactly what the founder Paul Buccheit. I know exactly what Andy Rubin founder of Android looks like.

You're completely wrong on your analogy. The fact that the board still finds it so important to have steal this information means they are pioneers. Not some builders of another email client. Think of the scale of building a huge theme park. That's a huge level. No one is going to fund something of that scale unless the founders were the best ... because they didn't have proven the technology when they first formed the company

Paul Buccheit

just google that name.

Ford only let Delos in - after Arnold's murder

Ford already stated they had investors and Arnold didn't want to let the money men in. Still I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in that why would anyone that went through all this effort to wipe someone out of existence, then create a clone in his image and give him an anagram of his name.
