When I die, if something bad happens you know I would disapprove of, please don’t say I would be “rolling in my grave…”

Please be accurate and posit I would be staring down from the 40 foot tall mausoleum carved in my likeness.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

All agency given over to the machine in such a short space of time. Maybe if all AI services were charged at premium rates, only certain segments of society would have to lose the ability to think critically...

I started writing some meandering words, sometimes, some combinations might actually be interesting. This is the first in a series of n vignettes of a slightly blearily imagined future. It is short, and heavily punctuated.

Read this! Then read what comes next. Come for the modern yapping, stay for the Greek hexameter, enjoy the tessellation, and the reminder that our history is littered, sprinkled, sparkled or quietly overflowing with powerful female protagonists.

Also Posthomerica is a word worth interpreting.
Launching today, today, today!
