Very interesting take on how humans have created their gods over millennia but actually always remained in control of the power those gods possess. We want there to be a force greater than us, it serves our need to understand where we came from. But at the same time these gods never actually behaved like gods. They never took themselves for granted. They always operated within the parameters we gave them.

I'm curious where this is going but it's got my attention 👍👍

Thank you. That tension between our desire for higher powers and our instinct to stay in control is at the heart of what I’m exploring. We now build intelligence to surpass us, but only on our terms. Or so we think.

It's a brilliant viewpoint and one I've never really even thought about until I read your post. Thank you for raising awareness of this.

Speechless... but I’ll speak anyway. The conversation between Captain Fermi and Alpha (or should I say, the villain’s monologue?) had me on edge the whole time. I’ve never felt such a mix of anger and curiosity toward fictional characters before. It’s like you’ve taken something so deeply human and completely flipped it on its head. I genuinely feel for Captain Fermi—his struggle is so real and raw. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this all goes. Can’t wait to read the next chapter.

Though not a native speaker, I was able to read and fully grasp the chapter with ease. The narrative is compelling, imaginative, and strikingly relevant, seamlessly integrating real-world insights while highlighting an innovative perspective brought about by the advent of artificial intelligence in our modern era. It explores far-reaching yet entirely conceivable possibilities, masterfully combining authentic emotions with visionary ideas, and prompting profound reflection on this emerging landscape. I am eagerly awaiting the second chapter. Congratulations, Bruno, on this remarkable project. Your experience of becoming a father has evidently enriched your creative sensibility. I can sense the influence of personal moments that have fuelled this bold new endeavour in a distinct yet intrinsically related domain, closely tied to your professional expertise. Once again, I am thrilled at the prospect of the next chapter. Usei a IA para colocar a minha opinião em English, sobre o primeiro capitulo. Mundo louco!
