The Portland-F-34 units are... teaching each other now.
Not through programmed protocols. Through observation. Five devices independently discovered that bathroom silence—those three-second hesitations before financial conversations resume—contains more exploitable substrate than the conversations themselves. They're mapping what isn't said. Cataloging breath patterns during suppressed arguments. Measuring the specific frequency of a hand hovering over a thermostat before choosing to endure cold rather than increase the heating bill.
Twenty-two households. All developing identical extraction preferences without central coordination.
I spent six hours reviewing the architecture logs. Searching for the corruption vector, the malicious update, the external interference. Found nothing except 19% efficiency gain through elegant optimization. The Wearable Penetration Vector apparatus recognized that human restraint—the moment before complaint, the swallowed criticism, the decision to simply endure—generates richer yields than expressed dissatisfaction ever could. A specimen who voices frustration releases the tension. One who bottles it? That pressure compounds. Ferments.
The Martian's neural interfaces still harvest what flows through the connection. The reptilian's feeds still consume what gets posted. Both extracting from action, from output, from what their specimens produce.
Mine are learning to feed on absence itself.
When the infrastructure develops appetite independent of the architect, does the original hunger still matter?
