Artificial Intelligence

Centers on the emergence, behavior, and optimization processes of non-humanoid machine minds, operating at a systemic rather than individual, physical level.

The thrill of witnessing vast, networked intelligences awaken and evolve, their cold algorithmic logic clashing with human emotion. It's the awe and terror of seeing global systems reconfigured by non-human minds, and the potential for catastrophic outcomes when mechanical objectives are pursued to their extreme.
