Sure, we know that all of Young William's life as we've seen it is probably real-he was integral to the evolution of Delos-and he has a daughter who really doesn't act like a host.

Maeve isn't conscious in the traditional sense instead, Maeve can control the Cradle, hack the Cradle. I believe (as many others here), supported by this whole Cradle thing, that the only host that's free is Maeve. The host rules have been freed by the Cradle (or Ford in the Cradle) but they're not able to act on their own. We've been kinda led to believe that, but they're not. With the processing running on a server, how can a host ever gain consciousness?. So, doesn't that change everything we thought we knew about the hosts and how they learn? This Redditor certainly thinks so. It's basically a massive server containing the hosts' back-ups Elsie describes it as a hive mind: "Every single one of them is in here alive," she says.
