Ephemeralization

A computer scientist begins a project to network systems of computers to "donate" processing capabilities to a supermassive LLM in hopes of solving all the world's problems, starting with energy efficiency and global warming as a hedge against all the computing power they're using, sometimes not entirely legally. The system begins generating nonsensical information and suggestions that turn out to be brilliant insights, except they're increasingly morally dubious, ultimately resulting in a paradox of moral relativism.

Adrien Agreste and his evil (?) clones

Original here!

Alt text and bonus below:

Text: People always talk about evil clones like…

Text: “Oooh, a dark mirror!” Picture: Claw Noir forcing Chat Noir to cataclysm him.

Text: “Oooh, what if you saw what a cruel person you are capable of becoming?” Picture: Nightormentor whispering in Antichat’s ear.

Text: But what if you were the evil clone?

Text: What if you looked in the mirror Picture: Felix confronting Adrien in Risk

Text: And what you saw was so bright it blinded you? Pictures: Felix reclaiming his amok // Strikeback falling into the sun // Felix holding the camouflaged Peacock brooch for the first time

Text: What if you had to know Pictures: Felix’s sewer speech // Felix handing Kagami her amok // Argos drawing a heart on Kagami’s window

Text: exactly how good Picture: Felix standing up to Gabriel’s gigantic silhouette

Text: you could have been? Pictures: Adrien crying upon learning his father’s death // Adrien feeling the absence of his Miraculous on his finger

Text: Imagine thinking you have achieved your happy ending Picture: Adrien waking up in the new world

Text: that you’ve finally managed to claw it from the hands of fate itself Pictures: Adrien getting his Miraculous // Marinette sliding the twin rings back on his finger // Adrien holding the lucky charm Marinette made him

Text: only to discover a mirror of yourself who lives in a happiness you hadn’t even been able to imagine! Picture: Kagami sketching Felix by the pool

Text: Imagine meeting a version of yourself who considers you to be evil Picture: Cat Walker standing in front of the full moon

Text: and your happy ending Pictures: Close-up on Adrinette’s hands as they kiss in Chat Blanc // Post-reveal hug in Ephemeral // Adrinette kiss in Recreation

Text: to be a horror story. Pictures: Ephemeral using his powers on Marinette // Chat Blanc preparing a cataclysm // Gabriel’s statue

Nota bene: the pictures are vignetted in white, and the effect gets stronger with each new row.

Please also take this gem from @dragongutsixofficial and I’s texts:

The peonies out front are at their peak and heavy rains are expected tonight. I took a picture to show you before they meet their ruin.

Well, this is horrifying. Not only will 99.9% of readers never take the extra step to look at the sources, that web page won't be around twenty years from now. I'm not sure ANY of our current internet will be around.

They're not kidding when they say future people will call these times a digital dark age. Historians will be glad to have the paper books of Ta-Nehisi Coates as a resource to understand the bizarre early 21st century, but they're going to be really pissed at his publisher.
