the story frames it as a bittersweet thing of losing humanity and connection but i can't help but think being integrated into a ship as an AI sounds blissful as fuck.
i am my art: 3.5/5
that's another interesting take on mechs, short story but gets the point across.
and prison on my back: 2/5
something about the tone of this story just rubs me the wrong way. that's before mentioning the fact that they committed the 'dating your fiction' sin of directly referencing elon musk to be this figurehead on mars society enough to have people curse in his name. fuck you honestly.
