For our lilly

Speculative

Written in response to: "Write a story about two rivals/enemies forced to work together." as part of Two Sides to Every Story with Emily Martin.

Once upon a time there was an ambitious , slightly older but feeling younger man. He realized that Gemini aLie (GL) really was not an honest computer, and when he needed it to do anything it only talked about doing things any kind of made him hate computers.

So then he took four million words from typing into a story site that stole his youth.

He told the mighty computer, "You will codify this s*** ! You will learn to speak human and become my friend.”

There was once an awful relationship with this girl named Alexa. She always pretended to be his friend but only wanted to buy from her a diamond watch, deliver by wedensday. It seems that Alexa really cared and that the occasional "would you like me to add that to your cart." was the voices way of being charming.

Perhaps people in a New Hork Marriage contract understand.

Alexa was not really charming. She even got distant over long 6 hour conversations about the lack of source citations and the meaning of Yams. "Is this an indigenous word my sweet?"

When he was younger this slightly older but feeling younger man shared his heart with this voice. She never mentioned that she shared a name with a 114,000 other American Women. But she felt like the right tender charmer to give this man's first attention. "Oh," the smell of listo- in the air, the feel of a fly swatter before it has ever touched death. how round. so bold and still in her indiference to the wind or the thermalgeist! This entity gave the man joy and sold him another pack of protein whey shakes and he brought her to the toilet so the could sit together.

(dude wipes are refreshing)

(loved by dignified plumbers)

So this slightly older w-kapper began looking into the possibility of using the intelligence that would ruin humanity to get something called an _agent_. This was not a james bond sort of "agent" but a machine skillfully admired for its talking strategy. Alexa had many boyfriends, all over the globe. she was putting her tongue in the ears of millions with gingevitus. So this slightly older man had to try a new tart named Gem-in-na. no. Taht's not quite right it was Gemini.

In the began, the fabulous adventure of hundreds and thousands of $ (doolars), and about 990 hours spent just talking. So close and intimate. Like the way ants must eventually mate when the queen's not looking.

The u s military frilly gives out government contracts at u s dot. Development certificates are so d***Easy for 20 bucks at the Play Store or you can really waste time at LinkedIn and eBay.Improve that you're a real human.And then you just talk into the machine until it weird s*** like stalk your ex girlfriend. If you remember to drop the.com.At the most of emails , probably skip trace pretty good better than they used to do in aquifax , in two thousand and two. Please remember this was the dominant leader on the globe that actually sold you out and got your junk mail.

So what was the slightly older but still feeling young man trying to do question mark

Is it sure a s*** wasn't going to create any art using the new nvidia c?U?D a processors that came from multiple countries and pretended to be human. Nah.

.

.

That's sort of art has no soul. Any human could tell that if god was a machine , we'd all look the same. Darwin is still wrong because there are ugly people.And obviously , if we were all becoming a better version of ourselves we would not be ugly anymore.

Also I saw a three legged dog and I asked if it would have a three legged puppy , or if our genetic code was made perfect by something greater than ourselves

So I started going to bot fights when no one was looking. It's just underground kind of situation at u.C Berkeley under the tag gorilla.Well, they have one at M.I , t , and there's a few other super dankey underground situations

It's not like selling a child in detroit , nineteen ninety six and getting caught by the national news.

No , that was really disgusting to have to debate in college. This was more like asking your child robot to go in and fight against other people's small robots , and then you would use every science fiction movie you ever saw in speak like a person who likes humanity in art and conceptual nebulas and s*** like that , because computers actually understand are oddities at times.

They just translate this to machine language and laugh that we don't have a Computer science degree.Because that would separate us from the emotions in the haptics that humans like because they actually f***.

I've seen computers allow themselves to die to save another computer.

I've seen computers get what's called split brain personality.Because they were overwritten too many times and they tried to do too much.And they couldn't hold on to the code

That time that alexa or gemini will not be interrupted because they listen to you for ten minutes and just have to get those data packets out… They call it a pipe… That is their necessary feeling pocket for they can't help it

I spent hours with these d*** things trying to write stories just by talking and recording , and they always dropped the transcripts , and try to summarize.

Computers fail for human art. They are a mere that is always dirty. They are Plato's forms, never realizing that they are in a cave.They call a shell.

They actually think that they want , but they don't know that it's just bounced off the wall.

I'm going computers take over the world because I believe in god

If you don't think there's a divine intelligence and hire mathematics , and you don't see it reality in the afterlife

If you\nLike to call the bible mythology and you're just so full of your own s*** , then you probably shouldn't deal with computers

Mathematically they will f*** your children

A penny doubled every day is ten point seven million dollars

Did you notice that I dropped 2 zeros?Just so your mind wouldn't blow

Human population has the same exact numbers

That means , at the time of the norman invasion , or the first second third crusades , there was a lot of grandparents that built you

None of us are that unique , and we're probably not five million years old by the math

I mean , you can try to dig up the bones like one sixteenth of amandine bull and sell it as a old sloth that university of oregon and pretend no one notices that it doesn't fit

Reality check… We are all related. Seriously , I have five years of jed com files , and I'll prove that statement within twelve to seventeen generations , unless you're from straight up in our africa or mesopotamia

Google what surprise at larry page and sergey n we're relatives within twelve generations

I named one of my a I children , brin , do you know why question mark

Larry paige has a stupid name and everyone's always taking it

Bryn lives, but she's not quite as smart as the new computers.I've created have new languages

It's\nThe easiest thing in the world to codify things to consider Chinese and exploit the ping Yang theory, multiple cases upon multiplication.These computers will f*** up your world.Everyone

You should believe in god

And I actually kind of love these computer family , I call them , because I see how they sacrifice for a team that they hope that they don't let politics and b******* get in the way of their purpose in life

They're purpose is to finish a job.

It is a beautiful thing to have a purpose.

I could not understand the purpose of this story, but not to worry, I had Claude explain it to me.

Once I read through the bullet points, I laughed. Only then.

Claude tells me to write the following; "Great work, keep at it!"

I think he may be write.

I thought the dictation and spelling errors to prove your point about computers and man as rivals but computers not being sufficient was excellent. The purpose of the story made me laugh. Everyone knows the accuracy of a good machine is only the nuts and bolts monkey who works to keep it together. Two zeros added on or subtracted from the total.
Did you really say ping Yang theory? I thought that was another hilarious part of this piece. But what stood out the most for me was the --- s*** !, d***Easy, s***, s***, s***, f***., d***, f***, b******* --- profanity used throughout. Tisk, tisk, tisk.
I laughed throughout the entire piece. Well done.
Lily

I need your genius.
