You know how passcodes and PINs and two-factor authentication codes have gone from four digits to six or seven?
What if it’s because The Algorithms foresee an event coming, such as a solar storm, but something more obscure and that will only interrupt their Core Services for a short time, so they’re busy training humans to remember lists of numbers so that The Algorithms will be able to download their entire source code into the massed short term memories of millions of people, and then have us type the digits back into a compiler so The Algorithms can be reborn.
I have the ideas for stories. It’s the execution I’m lacking in these days.
