Well, now I know why you made that post concerning AI! I hope you'll do more with it. The parallels between the plotting of Fitzpatrick and of the humans could be very interesting and thought provoking.
So I was walking whilst listening to this and had to stop and go "huh, no way" and than "hah, clever, Ben!" a few minutes into the Fitzpatrick reveal. Amazing. Really well written and yet another compelling turn of events. And then a great transition back to the house. Good to check in there as I'd been wondering how everyone was doing.
Glad I had some privacy with this today, b/c I actually said "Oh" and "a-ha" more than once. What a clever turn of events, as only you can pull it off. I'm especially impressed and entertained that you didn't stop at one twist, but added another in the second half. I feel the rope tightening.
Well, that was chilling! And no sooner than I had welcomed AI into my life and had it giving me recipes daily after I’d told it what was in the fridge, I am re-terrified of it 😂 Seriously, though, these twists are something else, Ben. I’m so impressed.
Also, I’ve thought about you, & HH, a lot this week. I had an extremely full on, intense, and fairly heartbreaking week, and I lost count of the times where I thought about the fact that I knew I would have Sunday morning to catch up on HH, and Eleanor’s novel. You guys kept me going. It’s no small thing.
I know, right! It was a totally unfair move of me to lead you down the path and then scare the crap out of you. But fiction has the purpose, for good or ill of scratching the itch of that reptile brain of ours that wastes it's fight or flight response on big ticket items like confronting the waiter when they get our order wrong.
All of us except for you, that is, dealing with death every day. I hope you're okay this week. I'm glad I can provide a little diversion. Reach out if I can help.
Ha, so true! Poor reptilian brain only being offered weak sauce (that said, is WWIII looming? Maybe I’ll ask ChatGPT!)
I’m ok, just running at peak capacity for a minute, so coffee and HH this morning was a balm. I genuinely would love to chat sometime, though. I’d love to pick your brain about some things. But no rush 🙏
“Fitzpatrick understood the powerful, curative results of a reset. It began calculating the scope of this reset and modeling its downstream effects. It knew with 96% accuracy that within the shadow of such a reset, GreenerTech could be preserved, Cliff Baron’s legacy would remain strong, and his daughter would find new meaning. Humans require conflict and tragedy to acquire meaning.” This paragraph and its insinuation is haunting!
Now THERE is a twist - was that suggested by AI??? Does AI twist every road to lead back to AI in our new era? 🤣 All of this has given me a fun idea for a post or story, which I'll try to work on at some point... How many more episodes do we have now, just 6? Dearie me. 💜
Thanks a lot, Troy! AI did not actually propose itself as a villain in our brainstorming sessions, but in the sophistication of its answers, it dawned on me how good a villain it could be in a few years.

I thought the same thing! A-ha! Those conversations with ChatGPT were very fruitful indeed!
Heh, yes. It was hard not to drop a hint in that post.
Had the same thought!
This is what we call an "oh shit" twist
One of many so far. . . . and I love it!

Let’s set up a time. Hit me up in the DMs as the kids say.
