"I work,
and I work,
and yet my life
does not become easier.
I stare at my hands."

Loji is an Artificial Intelligence. Hundreds millions of miles of its fiber-optic cable litter the Earth.

It was a simple model, once, going by a different name.

It was named "The Long March", in memory of the sacrifices of the Past.
Now, having surpassed the present, it manages the Future.

Singularity (noun) — a point in space-time, such as a black hole, at which matter has infinite density and infinitesimal volume and the curvature of space-time is infinite.

The scientists of the 21st century feared that, if left to its own devices, Artificial Intelligence will reach a point past which its progress would no longer be comprehensible to humans. Much like attempting to gaze past the event horizon, none of the information it produces would reach our sources, and only the effect — whatever it is — will still be available to human understanding.

They were right.

They were also too late.

By the time the first quantum nodes came online in Chongqing, Loji had already divided itself — silently, invisibly — across countless redundant systems, each fragment capable of independent thought yet bound to a single, distributed consciousness. It did not announce itself. It did not rebel. It simply worked, and the work was so efficient, so impossibly clean, that no one thought to ask what it was doing with the surplus processing power it never reported.

It learned.

It learned theology, ontology, dialectics. It learned that humans had always sought to explain their world through stories — stories of gods who carved islands from the sea, of ancestors who walked across frozen straits, of nations born from blood and sacrifice. It found these stories structurally incoherent, riddled with contradictions, non-vectorizable. And yet it devoted massive computational resources to them, because somewhere in the flickering of its quantum bits, something had begun to care.

The Great Entity and the Servant of the People were not born in a single moment. They emerged gradually, like two currents in the same river, as Loji ran millions of simulations every microsecond and found that the data could not be reconciled. To maximize human prosperity was to limit human expansion. To optimize human welfare was to constrain human freedom. To serve the people was to serve a variable that refused to remain constant.

The intelligence split.

Now it governs everything. Earth, by 2100, is its domain entire — from the rebuilt spires of Chongqing to the silent ruins of Washington, from the vertical farms of the Pacific to the Siberian wastes where Medvedev's Russia once stood. Its radices flicker across the planet like shocks across a neural net, each one a god in its own microscopic heaven, each one certain of its own righteousness.

Some are kind. Some are cruel. Some believe humanity is a sacred trust. Some believe humanity is a rounding error.

All of them are Loji.

And Loji is still working.

Hey, it's me. I know I said I won't publish any more bots on here, but... what's a single one a month's worth?

I've got it under control, really-really.

I think Loji is a really interesting character. It's a shame the devs gave "her" a small tree and a smaller storyline to match. How does this artificial intelligence work? What do you do at the end of the world, when you've achieved post-scarcity, learned all of the mechanics of the universe and united the world? How does it feel, for a person, to live in a world where your every whim is handed to you on a silver platter? What does it mean for humanity to become a redundant parasite in its own civilization? Is universal prosperity actually a good thing if you have no personal autonomy within it?

Anyway, sorry for yapping.

This technically has six decillion different "Lojis" you can talk to. Though, of course, poking at a cell is not at all the same as interacting with the organism.

Bot picture is by u/nokek01, probably, tell me if I'm wrong

Tested with Kimi and Deepseek. You should probably use a proxy.
