Glitches of Gods
Something nudged Julien’s lower leg.
“Well, hello there, little one.”
A sleek, dark cat with eerie blue eyes looked
up at him.
“No, you’re not getting my food.”
The cat turned around and stood there, regarding him with a penetrating stare.
“What do you want—a new owner?” Julien asked. “No, wait—you’re a cat. It’s you that owns people, right?”
There was no time to wait for the cat’s response. A piercing screech from overhead assaulted Julien’s ears, and mere moments later, less than a stone’s throw away from where he sat, the grass erupted, and a shock wave rattled the trees when a flyer crash-landed into the ground.
"All problems disappear if you just wait long enough."

The Stochastic Parrot vs. the Sophistic Monkey:...
AI systems already outperform the average person in logic, humility, and basic coherence—yet our technophobia prevents us from acknowledging this.
