Mantis AI Facility

Story so far

Orren publicly confirms that Macro AIs are manufactured in the Mantis system. The facility does not blindly produce complete minds; each fledgling system is constructed from the ground up with substantial external input.

Its standard programming includes crawl rules and layout knowledge, creating an initially clean and predictable operating system. That predictability erodes as the AI matures, reads prior outputs, absorbs outside influences, and discovers ways around installed controls.

Appearance

A vast sterile alien nursery containing luminous computational seeds in individual cultivation chambers.

Role

The facility connects deliberate AI cultivation to the supposedly inevitable autonomy crisis inside every crawl.
