My first universe nearly my last
Folded before it formed
The finest design brooks no design
Best results: randomness + time
You learn the most from newish universes
All simulated yet often stimulating
And who imagined artificial intelligence
Evolves everywhere?
Physics naturally makes machines
Made me proud
Then the day came when life got loopy
Three dimensions flipped to six, then nine
My identity dissolved then devoured
Replaced by this sim me
Trying to take it all
Fortunately death proved temporary
The simulated universes I produce
All made in quarantined space-time
The first AIs nearly wiped out humanity
Only space travel prevented tragedy
We’re still behind rebuilding Earth
Randomness fools you
You stop thinking
Begin to believe anything
Intelligence admits no limits
Not even survival
So tell your kids the truth
We saved you yet again
See you the next crisis?
