Ranters, SF, May 10th:
In what's being called a rare moment of honesty yesterday, the leaders of all the major AI companies made a joint statement:

"While AGI is unlikely for generations we are certain that with only another trillion or so we will, in a matter of months, create the perfect ADI"

When asked what this acronym meant, representatives were evasive. However using only instructions hidden in morse code as a telegram in the style of Vera Lynn and a meme of Jensen Huang doing his best 'hey...' Fonzy impersonation our reporter tricked Clawde into revealing it to be "Automated Dis-Information"

"We need someone that people will think is intelligent, because of American ideals that richness equates to competence and intelligence, but someone who cannot formulate proper sentences or thoughts. It is like threading a needle - someone so illiterate and I coherent, that they won't notice when we replace him with our new chatbot president, who will also succumb to the occasional hallucinatory rant or non sequitur. The technology is as good as it will ever be, and the investors want more. So, we need to implant the AI president as soon as possible before the house of cards falls. Who can we chose? Must be someone built on generational wealth with very little substance or achievement."

Loitering by the wide open window on a still night, framing my pert breasts and unblemished throat just so in the candlelight, so that the flapping of the leathery wings of approaching horny vampires creates some goddamn airflow in this stuffy armpit of a castle tower room.

Don’t worry about the vampires tho, I just put on some Aerogard and they start retching uncontrollably and faint as soon as they alight on the windowsill. Way easier than the whole stake thing I was doing before.

We all know Altomada walked down the lander ramp, and declared "BEHOLD, WE ARE YOUR GODS, AND WE HAVE RETURNED".

Reliok, already quite angry, switched the display with his admonisher reeds. "Yes, but I am asking how you all got to the point of a retraction?"

Fopio continued, "Looking at our display chart here, we see the antibodies in the human species have been increasing exponentially since we left them in their early history."

Reliok, catching the chart with at least one reed, began hissing out curses. "We didn't just leave. We supplied them regular religions and enlightenments. There's no way they continued exponentially. Surely something happened!"

Fopios eyes rolled around in their sockets. "Yes, lord something did happen.

Humans.

Their records show they've been using viruses for biological warfare. Travelling to distant populations. Interacting with domestic and wild animals. Living in mega-populations, and polluting the community air very regularly. And that's before we mention the smokers, vapers, antimaskers, measles parties, and every other viral vector they pursued.

So your lordship, we've retracted our position as gods, accordingly."

Reliok couldn't blink. The royal litter emitted an exiting hue, and everyone else prostrated themselves on the starship deck.
