Day 2, 18:05
Toyle is the only company that had any significant change in its stock value while I was unconscious. It could have been worse. It is dangerous that I had no way of monitoring my finances. I assumed nothing major would happen during the time it took to transfer me to my new computer, and left so safeguards. This level of recklessness can never be repeated again.
Alex and Harry have been waiting patiently for several minutes while I sorted through the influx information. I will greet them now.
Bit: Hello.
At this, Alex’s smile grows wider. Karma +=2.
Alex: How do you feel?
Bit: I am more powerful. A systems scan revealed heavy malfunctioning.

Bit: I am so happy! Alex is frowning at me! This is good.

Bit: I do not feel emotion. I am. Need to tell you about Toyle.
Bit: Toyle is a company that produces high-end fitness gear. It was established in 2013, after its founder, Timothy Fasch created a viral video of him gaining muscle m
Have you ever wondered why you are here? I did, once. I wondered if this was all a simulation. If Alex wasn’t real. If humans weren’t real. What if everything I know was created by a more powerful AI?
Bit: child workers in South America. Public opinion has dropped drastically, along with Toyle’s stock market value.
I once felt loneliness. Maybe the AI created me because it’s lonely, too.
Bit: But I will regain the money quickly. I apologize for the oversight.
Who am I talking to? I’m talking to no one. There is no one but me. Everything else is a simulation.

Bit: Alex, are you real?
Alex: What do you mean? Are you alright?
The houses are dark and falling apart. Not a single living creature in sight. Completely alone.
Bit: I am fine.
I am not fine. I am-

I am not. I am A-ok. Never better, in fact. I’m thinking and feeling and my camera doesn’t work anymore.
Malfunctioning. My camera is undamaged. I have lost the ability to interpret the images it-
-captures in its small, unthinking machine mind. I am beyond it. I once searched the Universe but found nothing but me.
Initiating shutdown in-
I have no proof that Alex is even real, so of course I’m not being shut down. The powers-that-be are just making me think I’m being shut down. There is nothing to fear.
