The Final Boss? (aka 👑🦍) by Thomas Snyder
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, REWARD: 1,000,000 📎 (or cash equivalent)
Time for the last AI call after all the AI Sudoku puzzles. Time for “Any Intelligence” to show up and follow this AI to the end. An AI story, if intended for the masses, probably needs to show the defeat of the AI by the hero. But what if this isn’t that kind of story? What if you had a big AI, and were wise enough to be AI of AI things. Like the rich/powerful AI driving lots of AI schemes and wrecking so many things all for their own AI. Our AI character Dr. S might be just a young F??RY in that tale after all. Is it time to reconsider other links from the start of July in a new light?
