So my #Patreon target for November was to cross 30 followers, but of course it's a slow process to build a community. Currently I'm at 24 thanks to 4 new followers this month.

But, I still have some time before we hit December (time zones go do your thing) - www.patreon.com/c/lucidillus...

Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening

Today's #WIPSnips theme is “belong”

So here's a screengrab from a partially written story of about 5000 words long, I really need to get back to my longer pieces as well and finish the story and the journey!

"If it's some kind of... experiment," Aniruddh began slowly, choosing his words carefully. "Depending on who did it... it might not be standard science. The people I... dealt with... they were tied into networks that dabbled in... older things. More esoteric. Sometimes 'experiments' meant things that sound like they belong in bad horror movies." He watched Chris closely, gauging his reaction.

Everyone's going to be a hacker, obviously.

This year I'm less personally inclined towards "crabs are the ultimate form", and my piece below explains why.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.
