...on a road somewhere

Stranger: Hi..? (with a tensed expression)

X: Uhh yes, this must be pretty weird for you.

Stranger: Exactly, this is the first time.

X: Yes, worse than a virginity loss scenario..

Stranger: Yeah, we don’t talk like that in public.

X: I can understand, is it okay if we continue in English?

Stranger: Sure, doesn’t matter.

X: What do you do?

Stranger: I sit around, watch movies and do cute shit on internet.

X: Sounds fun, what about finances?

Stranger: The cute shit pays, and I sleep with beautiful men who treat me well.

X: At least you’re truthful. Can we discuss more?

Stranger: I am Ashley, and I would like to go to the moon one day. It’s not possible so I would rather be an influencer, an affluent one.

X(m): Yes, I am sure giving people advantage over oneself to gain something helps if you’re hot

Ashley: Influencing is difficult by the way, you’ve got to think of new shit all the time or keep track of ongoing ones. You have to use filters all the time, and do edits.. urghh lots of effort.

X: Yes I used to edit photos, I know the hassles. Monetization is something serious, guess I never wanted to try that out.

Ashley: I browse the internet whole day, and the pressure of creating content looms in the mind even while I sleep. It’s no less work than business if I am being honest.

X: I understand, it may get stressful at times. Consistency in the attention economy helps generate gains with steady growth.

Ashley: I like how you speak, does your tongue roll well?

X: I rap so I need to be good at it. Do you rap?

Stranger: No, but I brush my teeth.

X: Nice one! xD I smoke a lot and it affects the oral hygiene.

Ashley: I know right? By the way, I am going to the plaza and can be with you till the next crossing. If you want to continue this conversation...

X: Yes, let us be in touch. Should I tell you my number or the NFC tap works?

Stranger: Hmm I like your attitude. We’ll be in touch.

...somewhere near a cafe

X(m): wow this is a hot day

Stranger: The weather report said it’s going to be a lot worse today.

X: Oh is it, I thought the weather was hot enough.

Stranger: I am Emily. I have some work later but I work in an air-conditioned building so it’s fine.

X: How convenient for you, I do not.

X(m): I guess your job pays well.

Emily: ...pays well and the earnings do the bills apart from being quite close, you know, that helps

X: I live nearby. Actually I am taking some time off.

Emily: You can try working out, that helps.

X(m): But

X: Of course, I am currently working in. What do you work on?

Emily: I am in a tech firm that trains A.I models to automate all forms of work. I am in management.

X: Ahh, so is the firm looking for techno-functional executives who can fill into the roles of trainers?

Emily: Yes precisely. You can give me a call if you’re interested. Whatsapp emilyash521..

X(m): ..I guess that’s one way of contact

X: Sure, will be in touch.

Emily: What do you plan to do next?

X: I’ll look into how macro-economics can be stabilized as a result of automation, and research on A.I safety

Emily: We are currently working on that. We can catch up you know if you aren’t busy

X(m): I mean, we can go to my place

Emily: I know this place we can go that’s close to here and discuss

X: Sounds good, let’s go

Conversessions

Conversessions are interactions set in a fantasy-world where a quantum A.I X does not have access to other humans' streams. The streams that are accessible in real time are as follows:

1. Visualization(real world + thought in mind)
2. Sound(real world + generated in mind)
3. ~~Sensory Feelings~~

We explore conversations from X's perspective in the following posts.

Script style :

X: bla bla bla -> real world

X(m): bla bla bla -> in mind

Index:

1. Conversessions; Emily
2. Conversessions; Ashley
3. ...sync in progress
