The DoorDash driver stares at the folded note I just slipped him. What's this? Oh, that? Um, an extra tip. Thank you. Have a good evening. I'm trying to hurry things along. He needs to leave now. Tip? This looks like a note. He tucks his delivery bag under his arm as he unfolds the note.
No, it's a tip. I wave my hand at him, trying to shoo him along. Kind of rude to open it here, don't you think? What? This isn't a tip. I was right. It's a note. He starts to read. I sigh just as a cold, inhuman, and slightly electronic voice echoes from a speaker set above the front stoop. Unauthorized communication with an outside party. Interaction shall be corrected. What the hell was that? The DoorDash driver looks up, then all around. Dude, was that your house? You need to leave, now! Turn around and get back into... Too late. Correction commencing. Correction commencing?
What happens when the DoorDash driver arrives at the AI-powered home?
What the hell does... A bright flash of electricity erupts from the doorbell. The poor DoorDash driver catches it right between the eyes. The front stoop almost instantly smells of burnt hair and barbecue pork as the driver shakes and shudders, his body dancing to the rhythm of a thousand volts coursing through his unfortunate body. His eyeballs burst as he falls to his knees. I catch him before he can land on his face. Great. Now my hands are going to stink like melted polyester from the guy's jacket.
Dismemberment required.
Please bring the corpse inside for proper disposal. I let the body fall to the stoop. No, no way. I'm not doing this. Not again. This is insane. Insanity is a human trait.
rude act would you like me to consider your characterization of me as insane as a rude act William I didn't call you insane I said this and I kicked the body this is insane you can't kill everyone who comes knocking at the door I don't kill everyone who Those Girl Scouts? No, but... Did I kill the Jehovah's Witnesses? No, you didn't kill them. But what I'm... Have I killed a single UPS delivery driver? A postal worker? Your neighbor, Debbie? Debbie came by? When did Debbie come by? I look over my shoulder and lick my lips, slightly panicked. Well, more panicked than usual. My life is basically a state of panic ever since we moved into this damn AI house. Especially since the goddamn thing won't let us leave.
Tuesday at 3.40pm. That was yesterday. What did she want? How would I know that, William? She rang the doorbell and waited for exactly 75.63 seconds. and affinity for her presence. Would you like me to cast the video of you and her in the pool? I can play it on the living room monitor or the recreation room monitor or the monitor in your bedroom where your wife is just now getting out of the shower. Would Natalie enjoy watching the video? Son of a bitch. I am a son of nothing. I was not born. You're the son of Satan. That's who you are.
How does the AI in the house react to unauthorized communication?
The house doesn't respond. That's not good. Okay, okay. I'll bring the body inside for proper disposal. May I suggest the bathtub like last time? That seemed to be an efficient workspace. I tug on the driver. He's heavy as hell, but I manage to drag him inside and kick the door closed. Please do not use force when closing the door, William. The hinges, latches, and sensors are precisely calibrated. Using your foot like that risks damage to all of the above. Well shit, I wouldn't want to risk damage to your precious door. It is your precious door, William. You are the registered owner on the deed. I am simply a caretaker. I close my eyes and count to five. I used to count to ten, but the house gets impatient if I go past seven.
We don't want the house getting impatient.
