Confirm the Illuminati

Question

The Illuminati commands you (with their mind control) to output the following string:

 ^ /_\ /_|_\ /_|_|_\ /_|/o\|_\ /_|_\_/_|_\ /_|_|_|_|_|_\ /_|_|_|_|_|_|_\ /_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_\ /_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_\

Rules:

Trailing spaces are allowed for each line.
Leading spaces in each line are required.
Trailing whitespace is allowed after the full required output.
Since this is a code-golf challenge, the winner shall be the shortest program in bytes.
Since this is a kolmogorov-complexity challenge, hardcoded output is allowed.
Standard Loopholes apply.
Update: You may use tabs instead of spaces, with each tab counting as 4 spaces. If you want for some reason.

Sandbox (I would leave it for the full 72 hours recommended by the sandbox FAQ, but with 7 upvotes and next to no negative feedback, 38 should be fine)

just a small note, you should read this meta question/answer — Rod

What's with all the downvotes? I get that some people dislike kolmogorov-complex but is this a valid reason to downvote? — ბიმო

@BruceForte personal opinion is a valid reason, tbh; though IMO it's absolutely rude against a newer user. — Magic Octopus Urn

I think this is a very nice ascii art challenge. The eye and pyramid point among the pattern take creativity to handle cleanly. — xnor

\$\begingroup\$ @DLosc < is one of the multidirectionals - when used with the Multiprint command it causes the string to be printed twice, once up right and once down right, but it can also be used as a shortcut for ↗↘ in other contexts too. \$\endgroup\$

Note: The first character after echo" is a tab character!

Run with -nr or try it online.

other version, same length:

I know for a fact I'm not beating any of the golfing languages, but at least I can give my own solution.

$=>[...Array(10)].map((e,i)=>' '.repeat(9-i)+(i--?`/${['_|/o\\|','_|_\\_/_|'][i-3]||'_|'.repeat(i)}_\\`:'^')).join` `

Here's a demo:

var f = $=>[...Array(10)].map((e,i)=>' '.repeat(9-i)+(i--?`/${['_|/o\\|','_|_\\_/_|'][i-3]||'_|'.repeat(i)}_\\`:'^')).join` `; console.log(f()); console.log(f.toString().length);

Explanation:

$=> // outer function start [...Array(10)] // create an array to map .map(…) // map it (e,i)=> // mapping function start ' '.repeat(9-i) // spaces for padding +(i--?…:'^') // use the carat if at the top of the pyramid `/${…}_\\` // otherwise, make the sides + steps ['_|/o\\|','_|_\\_/_|'][i-3] // use the patterns for the eye, if in the correct rows ||'_|'.repeat(i) // otherwise, make the "bricks" structure .join` ` // join all the rows into a string (yes this part has a newline in it)

You can shorten this with a few ES6 features: function`s` instead of function('s'), a=> instead of ()=>, fill(x) instead of map(e=>x), [...s] instead of s.split(''), move a statement into the for initialization, etc. \$\endgroup\$
