¨&&&&&&&&¨ there is another company. a climbing &&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨&&&&&&¨¨ and penetrating vine. it's in the rocky &&¨¨&&&&&&
¨¨¨&&&&¨¨¨ plains, it's inside the hills, it's &¨¨¨¨&&&&¨
&&¨¨&&¨¨&& deep below. glistening silver burrows, ¨¨&&¨¨&&¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ red-pink logo, unclear nationality, &¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
&&&&&&&&&& veiled motives. ¨¨&&&&&&&&
¨
¨ a cave company, a magician company.
: sharpest knife, cutest knife.
%
¨ we will grow humans in pea-pods ¨
shimmering sound-card emergence,
something there on the shore of
turtle beach. the primordial soup of
¨ the digital, waves in dithering of
third-rate dac's, caressing the sand,
bringing things up from the depths of
the circuit. and there, deposited: the
first seed crystal of artificial
intelligence.
¨
this changes everything, of course.
¨
######################################## ¨
the company is named for it's first ¨
product, the orbital mirror, both a
passive sentinel and an active torch: ¨
set to it's widest configuration it
will light up a whole city at night,
and at its narrowest it becomes a laser
to cut through mountain and metal.
¨ ¨
still unsold prototypes by the time ¨
when that something was found on that
% beach, now the mirrors are all used to
: beam energy at different mirr
implements, as a rather static and
¨ boring power source. (and subtle threat
of violence.)
¨ ########################################
the ai is a coral. they grow it
¨ (crystal oil, lead glass, gentle laser
curtains) only to carve it apart and
section it. to become conditioned,
refractured, grown again. deliciously
honed. mirr sinks further below the
surface.
¨
% whispers now, about featherbite... is ¨
she a real person? or is this the mirr
ai, being unleashed upon the youth? and
another conspiracy theory about there
not actually being any human employees
: left.
in the meantime, dubious creations.
cerberus bodies are born. ¨
