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. ,
