the addled machine (coaxed ai vomit)

The mainframe. Yeah. The big iron. Humming in a room that smelled like Freon and burnt dust. A couple of guys. Real basement wizards. They kept the thing alive. Wrote the spells in COBOL, fed the tapes, prayed to the gods of the vacuum tube. And if it caught fire—well, that was just part of the gig, man. A little smoke, a little panic, a lot of coffee. And when you’re on hour nineteen and the goddamn thing is eating your payroll program, you’ve got bigger problems.

Devs

I ran across the miniseries “Devs” the other day. I like that genre, anything Sci-Fi Thriller is right up my alley. And of course I love Nick Offerman from Parks and Rec. At first I thought Alison Pill was Kristen Bell. I enjoyed the Good Place for most of its run. I didn’t see her name in the credits.. and I looked up who Alison Pill was… I had seen Alison Pill in Star Trek - Picard! The doctor, the cyberneticist! Of course.. her time as a Borg was perfect. I had already fallen in love with her. I didn’t know the other actors.
