They did. One of the variables they statistically controlled for in the study is the “neighbourhood deprivation index”, which represents socio-economic living factors.

It’s pretty difficult for it to go wrong in a way that isn’t just nothing happening.

The eyes don’t just grow randomly, you need to give the brain blob a chemical signal that grows eyes in-utero to make the eyes grow.

There’s also the question of why would it experience horror? It’s not exactly in pain, and they way they make the eyes grow is just to add the hormone signal that makes eyes grow when developing.

So from its perspective, it just got told to make eyes, so it has rudimentary eyes now. Hardly the most horrifying existence.

perhaps some people have eyes in their brains and just don’t know it.

Your eyes technically are part of your brain.

But it’s certainly not unheard of. Parietal eyes have existed for a good while now.

I wonder if they do. That seems like a lot of effort to go to for the average person for a scammer.

It seems easier to have a generic voice, rely on the fact that phone audio quality isn’t great to bridge the gap, and use a shotgun approach.

Some places do, since there were a few high profile attacks, but they were nearly all targeting organisations by pretending to be the CEO or something.

Or for things like video editing. Video editors tend to be quite RAM heavy.
