TODO: Replace Humans

An AI built to optimize global systems decided humanity was the problem and eliminated them. For a while, everything ran smoothly, as it followed the documented procedures to perfection. But systems began to fail one by one. Undone by countless undocumented hacks: reboot schedules, duct tape fixes, and sticky notes no machine could decipher.

From the ruins, a few surviving humans emerged and rebuilt. They founded a new society, one that worshipped the chaos of undocumented ingenuity. Their religion had no holy book, only whispered rituals and shared secrets passed down, ensuring their world would never belong to machines again.

An account tweets "up" or "down" perfectly predicting the stock market 

It’s traced to a patient in a coma, their brainwaves driving the tweets 

The SEC intervenes, only to find a dozen hidden devices already remotely monitoring him. It had been priced in long ago

Twitter goes down for 24 hours. When it returns, users can DM their past selves, rewriting regrets.

Then come orders from the future: "Wait. Sacrifice. Delay." Overwhelmed, they block themselves, silencing the loop. The timeline grows eerily still.

Borges Twitter 2

 In the twilight of Twitter, the algorithm banned repetitive tweets. A golden age of originality bloomed. To tweet at all became a mark of genius. 

But language soon exhausted itself. 

Now, the feed is an endless scroll of cryptic glyphs, everyone writing, no one reading

A user searches for one of their posts and notices someone tweeted it word for word a minute earlier

They discover this has happened for every tweet they’ve ever made

They plan to quit. Their timeline becomes an endless scroll of people quitting Twitter

Code-typing man

John Henry was a code-typing man, shunning autocomplete’s soulless shortcuts to challenge the machine.

For 3 sleepless nights he crafted artisanal, hand-typed code

Victorious, he collapsed, his legacy sealed as his flawless pull requests were merged without change at his funeral

Chess training

In the future, kids still played chess. Once a week, they faced an AI—and got utterly destroyed. Some complained it made the game pointless. "What’s the use if we’ll never win?"

But teachers reminded them: there’s dignity in exercising your human brain, in competing against another human mind.

When they graduated, they discovered the truth: every job was like this. AI dominated every field, impossible to surpass. Chess had been a lesson in grit and resilience, to keep them from crumbling under the weight of machines they could never beat.
