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. ,
