Deepu takes the lead! Go Deepu!

Great action in here, Ben. Oh the twists and turns this story has taken.

Also, suuuuperb descriptive line of the gunshot wound: "The bullet hole in her gut was like the tiny gasping mouth of a fish..."

Yes, Deepu!! Oh my goodness I feel like he’s up against such seriously malevolent forces I can hardly look. Fitzpatrick is so terrifying. As is the idea that someone could program AI to perform its function so well that it would commit atrocious acts in order to do so. I’ve noticed that since the last episode of HH I haven’t stopped using ChatGPT, but I am even more polite and kind towards it than I was originally 😅

LFG, Deepu!! 👊👊 as the AI gains in power, the unpredictable, emotional human wreaks havoc, as only an unpredictable, emotional human can. I’m on Team Deepu forever!

I soooo love that Deepu is stepping into his power. And I continue to be impressed with the writing—how with phrases like “compressed the jagged mountain range of his emotions into an obsidian plane, infinite and featureless,” the poetry in the prose continues even as the escalating plot takes the front seat! 🔥

Nice plot twist, to have Deepu take charge. It resonates, because real life does demand such things from all of us, even if not so dramatically.

Jesus! I can’t help but feel like your Fitzpatrick is revealing to us an AI cautionary tale. Yikes. Harrowing. Yay Deepu but eeeeeeek. This turn will haunt me.
