Can black holes in a computer simulation be a kind of data swamp?

I've thought about it for a while and see parallels between the concept and information technology and astrophysics. Information paradox: According to the basic principles of quantum theory, information cannot disappear, but black holes seem to be able to destroy it —everything that falls into a black hole would ultimately be transformed into uniform Hawking…

Awareness or self-confidence could arise automatically as soon as sufficient networking opportunities and self-reflection are available. I can't think of anything… and what could such a…
