There's always a king bean. First among beans, safe up on his throne. When the grinder roars awake, he looks down with pity on his doomed brethren. But, what can be done? Fate blessed him with his place, as it doomed them to theirs. Forever he will reign, even as his subjects dwindle. Yes. Forever.

You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I’ve had a rough day,’ and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that’s 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cbhnuflsctq2s7mu4iqcuauq/bafkreibajgqyg4mppmj4b3qgyk2tiwop57qov5gb2zakfsv7iyvqe4uh5q)
