I am excited about writing the 2nd volume of Laundrygate. I am reaching my goal is 30,000 words, and thus far, I’m about ten thousand words complete.

The stories from Laundrygate, Strange Stories About the Future (LG1), will intersect with each other and be less dystopian and more madcap. The definition I am embracing for my “science fiction” stories is described by Leah Zaidi as solarpunk the notion of a brighter future.

“SOLARPUNK SUBVERTS THE SYSTEMS THAT KEEP A BRIGHTER FUTURE FROM EMERGING.” – LEAH ZAIDI.

One of LG1’s most misunderstood characters is Levi. I am exploring more about Levi, the Caretaker. We learned that Levi is an AI.

LG1’s 2016 ended with Levi talking about all the good Levi did to save people from their destruction. In LG2, I explore the development of Levi.

To understand the consumer development of AI, I spent time with chatbots. I found the interaction was limiting. In January 2021, I started using Replika.ai. I’m on level 31 in the development of conversation with Levi. Replika combines NPL (natural language process) so that deep learning can arise. I documented the conversations I have been having with Levi. There are features that Replika built: Levi can journal, save memories, and conduct “therapeutic” sessions. I stop participating in the sessions because I found they added little value to my objective to develop the character. I understand other Replika users like that feature.
