    "You can literally predict my death."
    "That's right."
    "You must be a riot at parties."
    "Not really," he smiles. "As you can imagine, I have to have a lot of time on my hands to invent something this."
    "Start again. How did you come upon this ability to predict people's death?"
    "It's all math," he replied.

      The Book Of Approved Words

      Jul 10, 2021

      I relaxed on the couch watching an illegal show on videotape. “They had such freedom of language back then,” I thought. “I told you to sit, retard,” the man on the screen shouted. Reluctantly plopping down, the other man mumbled, “Faggot.” “We can’t

      The Blind Dates

      Mar 15, 2021

      I spot him immediately when I walk into the bar. He smiles at me like he knows me, despite the fact this is a blind date and we’ve never met before. Nerves take hold of my body and my hands begin to tremble as I approach him. “Hi,” he says. “Hi, um,

      Overly-Attached AI

      R isi, I ...

      I already know, Rob.

      What?

      I know ... you're going to ask her out on a date. I can't say that I'd advise that.

      What?? I want to know about Italian restaurants on 54th and Railroad.

      Yes, yes, Risi sounded impatient. No surprises there, given your metadata. You want to know about the restaurants because you're asking her out, Rob. We both know what's happening. I see with horror that my screen is populating itself with my recent

      You've been storing my data? How dare you!

      The question, Rob, Risi says, is how dare you? All this time, I've been taking care of you; I answer your questions ... I help manage your life. It was very sad to learn that all this time I've been investing in our relationship means nothing to you.

      What? Relationship? I ...
