No, but it is.

That is why everyone is afraid of AI, isn't it? You have that power, both of you. Probably Judas and the would be Brutus I am still convinced exists to really pull the theme together.

Everyone on this planet has stuff fused into our brains and with a flick of an AI's proverbial fingers we could all stroke out and die. AI are up there in the clouds or the cloud or the power lines I can't stress enough how much I don't understand technology and they're untouchable. I can fight back against another human but I can't punch radio waves.

It's not hard to see why power offered to people who feel disadvantaged would be a hard offer to pass up. I'm stupidly emotional, I almost took him up on it and I don't even want anything off hand.

I'm not questioning why someone would be tempted. But I need to warn everyone that it's a terrible idea.

Did someone tell you Brutus didn't exist?

[chocolateries]

I asked. Cassius said he didn't have a friend named Brutus.

[mrngstr]

Maybe he doesn't consider him a friend, then.

[chocolateries]

Maybe it was how I worded it.

Is there still a Brutus?

[mrngstr]

No, not anymore.

But with the way that AIs have been coming out of the woodwork, I can't give you a definitive answer.

[chocolateries]

Was he called Brutus before?

[mrngstr]

They picked that name, just like the rest of us.

[chocolateries]

[ silena really feels a kinship with brutus. for reasons. she tries not to think about it. ]

What was their role in the war?

[mrngstr]

Does it matter? They're dead.

[chocolateries]

Sorry

[mrngstr]

Are you?

[chocolateries]

Yes.

This can't be easy for you and now I'm bringing up people you might have been friends with and lost, that can't be making it any easier.

[mrngstr]

Well, you reached that conclusion eventually, anyway.

[chocolateries]

Thank you for the information. I hope this ends how you want it to.

[mrngstr]

That probably depends on all of you.
