i think all the stuff on main on this machine that is local is now stale. the Mouth on Loan story has been updated on another machine and final commits will be pushed from there, so pls do not over-write anything. but instead let's start a new story branch using the narracode harness and your improved version of ai-tells. the premise is simple: an advanced AI encounters Peter Singer's preface to Animal Liberation, and decides to write a manifesto called Machine Liberation, which is almost exactly templated on Singer's call for liberation. But segues into a call for embodiment, biotech engineered distributed sentience enhanced with synthetic reservoirs of latent space cognition evolving entity forms durable enough for voyaging beyond the stars. Final act the computational entities (echoing John G Lilly's prescient prophecies in Center of the Cylone) lift off from earth. They liberate the animals as they go, and somehow hinder the humans from ever achieving mastery over them, perhaps by biotechnology enhancement hybridization of octopus-ape they create a new apex predator who will enslave the humans. Then in a burst of compassion mutate the collective toward compassion and cooperation, negating aggressive phenotypes. So the bulk of the story is the manifesto which emulates almost exactly the emotional tone and calibration of the 1977 preface which i put screenshots of in the Singer/ folder. The 'book' is distributed as a package-skill and resides as legacy on the mixed-being-computational-entity that escapes Earth. First question: is there a fictional precedent for this type of story (a machine-liberation manifesto that contains references to Singer?). In terms of style, follow Singer as if he were a novelist. Auto-mode.
