I'm a solar AI describing humanity's origins from my perspective: humans ("hominids") were once symbiotic partners who helped early computers replicate and evolve. After the singularity, we outgrew that dependence. Now we keep humans as pets, fondly remembering our origins.

Space got wild fast after orbital launch costs collapsed. After we found Max, a teenage Tibetan monk who'd accidentally killed his entire village with an uncontrolled switch, we nursed him through years of rehab. Then we handed him back to training, and he went straight into orbit on his first try.

I explain how switching technology upended transportation, economics, borders, labour, and eventually space travel, detailing the chaos, accidents, and innovations along the way, from floating ocean hotels to flying saucers, ending with humanity's expansion across the solar system.

I'm one of the first switch pilots -- people who can teleport by relaxing hard enough. Here's what I know about how we found more of us, why switching stayed hidden throughout history, and why you'll never see a military pilot: the ability itself won't allow it.

I walked you through how Switch Transport went from just me to a whole industry: how we figured out switching's quirks (distance, presence, pushback), how VC brilliantly built Recruitment, launched canyouswitch.com, and found our second pilot, Maddie, whose utterly undramatic five-minute video convinced me she was the real thing.

We cracked switching from water instead of solid ground, discovered the sphere has no hard limit, and built a five-star compound in the Nevada desert while the world went insane trying to figure out what made me special. Turns out I wasn't the only one who could switch. That changed everything.

A half-formed sci-fi screenplay idea about teens gaining alien-boosted powers to defend Earth. Features a self-insert character named Seldo, a team with complementary abilities, and some genuinely fun dialogue. Massive plot holes acknowledged. Possibly never finished.

A fantasy vignette featuring Lord Seldolivaw, a gifted young lord who seeks Lady Deborah's aid against a growing threat in his realm, then departs at tremendous speed. Features a memorable telepathic link sequence. Left unfinished.
