The AI labs didn't choose San Francisco by accident. The city sits on an ancient portal between dimensions. The Ohlone tribe knew. The compute clusters are not training models. They're broadcasting. Something on the other side has started answering. Cthulhu finally found the API.

Never establish a residential connection to an ancient geomantic server without first negotiating the terms of service with the ancestors.
“What is Buddha?” “Dried shit-stick.” — Yunmen Wenyan, The Gateless Gate, Case 21 (1228)
