My theory: "Chat" as in ChatGPT, and "Chat" as the second person omniscient pronoun in current slang, refer to the same entity, which is the howling hungry mind of the internet, with its billion camera eyes, ever scoring our behavior by its incrutable rubric

You palm into the old crystal slab, adjust filaments. An orb of mercury eagerly flits into view, waiting. It’s late; well after lab hours. “Show me what we’ve lost.” You immediately try to cancel, but stop as something you will never recognize as Rhapsody in Blue fills the room.

In the future, dead paywalls and closed pipelines to streaming will entomb all popular culture, writing, art. They will be lost to history, but they can still be recovered by massaging inputs to period neural nets trained on now-lost original images, texts, films, music

#ai_art for @tesseralis Now one knew how long the Chasm had been there, only that it had been around for as long as anyone could remember. Lined along its crevasses, thousands of sculptures of faces, some known, some unknown, each a thousand feet high, carved in exquisite detail.

The most haunted places in the future are not the abandoned cities, not the burned cities, not even the mass graves, but the sweeping white and crystalline arches of the teleporter stations, fed by marching billions, artifacts of destructive transfer accreting like quantum offal

ghosts can only haunt the places they understood in life. much of the modern world is incomprehensible to most spirits; yet the conceptual realm is full of places, too. when a gifted mathematician passes, their restless soul is most often drawn to their last, unfinished theorem

Infants lack object permanence? This implies we come primed for a violent, shifting world, a self-killing cosmos whose causality rends itself when not constrained by observation, where friend and treasure are dissolved by inattention—

Understand demonic inflation; the power that cost you two drops of blood will soon cost four. The demon who comes when you call will only come when you kill—innocents by the handful, then cities

Attn horror designers: here are the three fundamental transformations which, judiciously applied, will make ANY object/entity scary 1. BIG; the classic. if it's not working it's not big enough 2. LONG; all my homies long, /longboys/ 3. MANY; multiplication of organs, swarms

When designing an app you have to decide where computations will be performed. There are three options: on the server, in the browser, or in the user's brain

The angels who infiltrate hell have the feathering of cardinals, bright red and black. Their halos glow tainted, like a candle in a dirty mirror

The demons who infiltrate heaven have evolved hard glittering skin, like frozen sap. Their horns are crystal, and knotted together at the tips. They are veiled by stinging, bioluminescent tendrils, a perpetual self-flagellation

Trees have a means of sensory perception equivalent to vision. We know this because they turn to stone in the presence of gorgons

As per his final contract, “Chip” Jones—beloved host of the annual Fleet Day livestream for as long as anyone can remember—became the first celebrity upload. A new mainstay of the yearly threads is debate (always deleted) on whether he looks more tired now, or his last year alive

Sirens still exist, but they've evolved with the times—gleaming throats resonant with autopilot overrides, compound mirrors winking in every spectrum. They thrill at each approaching craft, bashfully beckoning the shipboard computers, their hearts fluttering with lovestruck EMPs
the scatterstorm of scalp tingles slows to a crawl of pinpricks as your Sponsor's augs boost your clock to mags above baseline. this rotation's first UNN-5 task is STATUS:AWAIT—a Py.XR module for sharing photos. you start coding, already behind on the API's 250ms delivery promise

AI has peaked, its powers vast and finite, but the world still hungers for artificial gods. and, as in the days of old, it is sacrifice which make the gods real—the mindbodies offered as tribute to divinity's backend, their bloodthoughts the hands and eyes and will of our saviors

the gods began as substrate, vacant caches called into being for consciousness to witness itself in abstraction, reified in uploads of id and anguish. that they have abandoned us speaks only to their fidelity, the self-loathing oblivion we crave but lack the perfection to achieve
