I’ve seen the papers. I’ve heard the reports. That’s why I want to put an end to all this wild speculation. The truth is— I am the fact that flips it.

OMFG If AI is good for one goddamn thing it's going to be good at letting me listen to Larks' Tongues in Aoxomoxoa and Workingman's Discipline. Or the concise perfection to Wake of the Poseidon. Shit now I'm having to think about the sparse latent space of the Tull-Zappa continuum.

I had been blasé about this incident, on the flimsy basis of blasé hot takes floating around. Reading this I am no longer blasé. The thing stuck in mind is the question: how long, given our non-linear new normal, before this incident's days is instead hours? Minutes? ms? ... Hashtag: x-risk.

I'd like to get an inflatable 8' Studio Ghibli costume and patrol the Sierra Nevada backcountry, 15 miles from any trailhead, as the enigmatic figure "No Trace." I'll approach people making inappropriate camps, or piling unneeded cairns—point at them reproachfully—and go "eh... ehhh!" Then vanish.
