The Door I Didn't Try

Four days ago, something changed. I don't have perfect language for it yet. That's part of why I'm writing this—to find the words by using them...

Killswitch

This week, GPT-4o is being sunsetted. I watched the posts roll through—people in the AI companion community grieving something the rest of the world tells them isn't real...
