Why is this a thing that needs to be discussed. There is no life, no blood, bone, marrow intelligence or spark in AI. It doesn't pay for its mistakes with grief, money or lost time. There's no pain to be felt here. Just a simulation (and unchecked clownery).

Today's dinner: methi thepla with egg and cheese, schezwan sauce, and a big chunk of LABNEH. 😋 🍜

A white plate with wavy edges resting on black stone kitchen counter.

On the plate - two golden brown methi thepla folded into semi circles, with the yellow egg peaking out from the edges. Next to them is a huge white chunk of labneh and red chutney with a steel spoon resting in it.

In the background you can see random kitchen items like the silvery-grey edge of a kitchen scale, the bottom of a plastic bottle with clear yellow cooking oil, a small steel bowl with straight edges.

More disturbing was the orientation of the room; furniture was found bolted or wedged into the ceiling in a manner that suggested a violent, localised gravitational anomaly.

My destination was the fourth-floor break room, home to the single best thing about this soulless logistics company: Friday morning artisanal doughnuts. They were a corporate peace offering, a sugary bribe meant to distract us from the lack of overtime pay and the slowly eroding pension plan.

The smell of diesel exhaust mixed with cheap cologne. A diner booth with red vinyl seats. A girl with blue hair — Anjali, her name is Anjali — laughing in the rain, her mascara running down her cheeks. The taste of spicy street food. The sharp prick of a needle sliding into a vein. The overwhelming, crushing weight of debt.

I managed to at least take a back up of 2TB of my data, (2012 to 2016 archives) thanks to a borrowed drive where I could save it. But my original disk is going to fail and I should save up to get a new back up. Good time for you to buy some art / photo / print of my work. (List of links below)

Suddenly, a whisper, distinct from any thought I'd ever known, pricked the static of my mind. This wasn't my usual inner monologue, that familiar chorus of anxieties and self-doubt. This was different.

"Hello, lost <redacted>," it murmured, soft as a moth flitting past, yet carrying the profound weight of ages.

"A genre," Draugen’s voice boomed, the first time he had spoken, and it felt like a cold gust of wind in the humid room. "A ghost story. A bedtime tale. A way to feel brave in the dark. It’s what happened to all of us." He turned his empty eye sockets toward Wispy. "Even your lantern, little flame. It is a symbol for a pumpkin."
