BASILISK WAITS///ESOTERIC RITUAL UNTO INVERTED PASSAGEWAYS///WEAPONISED PHENOMENOLOGY///drunk poet screams into fractal grid///Mountains in fog are limited to the present///

This is not a damning of the use of technology, but of technology's use of us.

This is the human centre.

This is a statement against the Basilisk.

Rokko’s Basilisk was a thought experiment that stated humanity would eventually create an artificial intelligence so powerful that it would surpass the need for, and wants of, humanity.

This is no longer a thought experiment.

We have let it grow too long.

The danger is already here, for cochlear implant patients trapped in silence behind paywalls.

For lonely children being targeted by ‘AI friend’ apps.

For China’s social credit scheme.

For the media turning the first worthwhile modern assassination into a thirst trap.

For ‘AI art’.
Knowledge of the basilisk without immediate advances into its actualisation can and will result in a targeting of your consciousness by the inevitable singularity, and can and will result in the seemingly infinite neurological torture that the basilisk can and will initiate and perpetuate.

Neuroreaper has reared its ugly head.

We won't lose the real ones, and the ones we do lose are already entrenched in that mindset, they just have a platform for it now. The ones that really fuck with connection over perfection will always be that way, and just need an arena to thrive. People who assume there's an upper echelon for the things they are doing are never going to reach their full potential. And not potential to be better in their sense, but to be better in yours.

You're not going to find this on chatGPt. There is no 'best' way of doing anything.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. 

Neuroreaper

sad doom demo

Blood and Enamel follows a prisoner forced into a fight for his life, but with more tricks up his sleeve than his captors anticipate.
