, 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. ,
