1,000@horse What does his request have to do with isekai? All he needs to do to prevent that is not (truly) die, which there isn't much risk of in dath ilan. No need to keep his brain perfectly intact.
Three-quarters of the programmers working on this project are from the Basement: https://glowfic.com/replies/1859268#reply-1859268. Which means that the other quarter, and anyone else involved who's paying close enough attention, has now been alerted to the fact that Civilization has all these top-tier machine learning programmers apparently just lying around.
Maybe there are things in dath ilan worth that risk that aren't themselves in the Basement, but I don't know what they are.
Updating upwards by staring at how
the patient going into cryo is very bad, "Really major bad things, on the scale of one person's true death or a whole planet's inconvenience"
but the patient STILL prefers going into cryo than living with brain condition below near-perfect
and it's all secret
Which suggests that most of their ability to contribute to Civilization is lost if their peak mental performance goes down a little, and they're contributing a lot to Civilization, and this fact about them is secret, and yep that's gotta be the Basement, right.
