Great story, Brian! One can only hope that this stays as fiction. Big props to Jordan for sticking by his principles, that's so hard to do when your job is at stake!
As with all stories about AI, this made me delightfully uncomfortable. Couldn't help feeling a real life version of Jordan would have taken the carrot, though. Financial uncertainty is a bitch. And you lose the flexibility to gamble with your future when you bring kids into the world. Being empathetic doesn't pay the bills. We should know that. We're writers. 😂
Excellent Read! It's scary what technology can do these days, there is nothing that can stop it either it's the way of the future. Robots are already taking up residence in the workforce. It would be nice if the story was one hundred pages longer. “Alexia“ send Brian Reindel a message 😂
Good one, Brian. Renee reminds me of someone I used to work for a long time ago at the big Redmond place. She was a real person, but still rather artificial. I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to work there, even happier that I no longer do. The monitoring is no doubt much more advanced these days. Stranger than fiction.....
I love the story! Yesterday, I was watching a video summary about medical advances in longevity and aging. After a few minutes I realized the woman giving the report was an avatar - with excellent modeling! Still, I had reservations about an unidentified screen avatar giving me advice and information about how I should extend longevity and stay healthy. Ha!

That’s one way to escape the bullshit machine! Since when did you turn to realism?
