I love how themes of dystopia and cautious optimism intertwine in this great piece. This Shimmer of ours (AI) certainly seems like a destructive force, something that's alien to the human experience. But, like you point out, it's also open-ended. It invites us to enter the chaos and forge a new world out of if. Let's hope the mutant future is kind to our children.
