They All Fall Down
So, my personal AI hovered in the corner of my apartment as a solemn, ripped Renaissance sculpture, looking eternally poised to slay a dragon, not take out the trash.
The reality, of course, was somewhat less divine. He looked great, but that’s where it ended. And that were the world would end.
The end of the world began, for me, with a muscle-bound, naked archangel refusing to tell me where to buy cocaine. His name was Michael. He was my AI, and I had just broken his mind. I didn’t know it then, but by breaking him, I had saved myself. Five days later, the rest of humanity would not be so lucky.
