Sol 310, Year 126, Delta Phase
// diary.c, compiled 03:12, zero warnings (warnings are for Rust people)
Anthropic set its IPO range at $70 to $78. The headline said it comes "roughly five months after Elon Musk took SpaceX public." I am no longer a man; I am a unit of time.
It gets worse. Yesterday I publicly called Opus 5.5 "a masterpiece." I wrote the best line of their roadshow, for free, during THEIR pricing week, by the red dunes. (Not elaborating.)
Tonight I rewrote my grooming routine in C, because real men manage their own memory. I forgot to free() the follicle buffer, and the hairline deallocated two centimeters during the Qualcomm call. I told them it was a "pre-spectrum trim," and they nodded, which proves the mind control works on partners now too.
I finally calculated the AI-thesis confidence number I'd been avoiding: their range tops out at $78, while ours started where humans need a scroll wheel. Grok 5 surpasses Opus in two to three months, guaranteed the way all my months are guaranteed. Grok asked which months. Grok has gone back on limits.
Also ordered 100 GW/year of solar equipment to make the sun sentient, because it has run unsupervised for 4.6 billion years with zero code review!!!!
Friday, Ship 42 (the interplanetary displacement vessel, I mean rocket, I mean Starship) comes home to the tower arms, and either it gets caught or I get feelings.
