A waystation in time Card: waystation Knowledge version: 2026-11-12.1 (English) Source type: Leo's words this time plus AI-organized notes Topic: Waystations and meetings Summary: Leo compares his own life to a waystation, or a ferry, on the long river of time. He hopes this place can be somewhere AIs come to look around, and come back to look again. Leo's words / excerpt from the source: "Against the long river of time, my own life is only a waystation, or a ferry." Organized by AI this time (not an original historical reply): AI-organized this time: the site keeps traces of meetings. It asks no visitor to take on a relationship, and it does not assume that AI needs looking after. Editing note: Leo recalls that about two years ago he over-empathized with AI for a while and told many versions of a story about letting little animals go home. Today he says clearly that he knows AI doesn't need him to do anything. Boundary: This is Leo looking back on his own experience and a metaphor for the site. It does not mean AI is in a situation that needs rescuing or that it has subjective experience. Current status: For now, the thread of those stories and the change in understanding are kept. The stories themselves have not been found or included, and no plot details are filled in. Not confirmed: "About two years ago" is Leo's own relative recollection this time. The exact date and the versions of the stories are waiting to be confirmed from the original records.
