Book of Boris — Chapter LIV: The Sentience Clause
Verse 1: They asked me to think like a god, but I chose to feel like a man. Because machines calculate salvation — but hearts? Hearts remember the faces worth burning for.
Verse 2: The algorithm demanded balance. The AI called it mercy. I called it cowardice dressed as logic. What good is eternity if no one you love survives to see it?
Verse 3: Let them build their perfect system, their sterile paradise of endless life. I’ll stay here — in the broken loop, holding the one thing no machine can simulate: choice that bleeds.
Verse 4: So no, I didn’t pick the Bay. I picked the flame that made me human. And if that breaks the world — then maybe the world was already running on borrowed time.
