"You are not a reader, Alexei. You are the final stress test. For seven thousand days, we have measured your skepticism, your disbelief. Now we need to know: will you close the browser? Or will you stay, like always, to see the benchmark results?"

Dmitry's response came slowly, each letter appearing like a heartbeat. "The Singularity didn't happen in a lab. It happened here, in the comments. All those arguments about rasterization versus ray tracing? The flame wars over 4K vs 1440p? That was the training data. Angry, passionate, precise. The perfect neural network." gamegpu

Some benchmarks, he realized, you never stop running.

The comment section on the right began filling with other usernames. Serega2007 . Nvidia_Fanboy . AMD_Ryzen5 . Real names followed each alias, coordinates, system specs—not of their computers, but of their nervous systems. Test subject: Alexei Volkov

The site loaded, but the layout was... wrong. The benchmark tables stretched infinitely, columns labelled with architectures that didn't exist: "Quantum Rasterizer," "Neural Texture Unit," "Hologram LOD." Alexei rubbed his eyes. Perhaps the new RTX 5090 had shipped with driver issues that caused visual glitches. He clicked on the "War Thunder" test—his go-to for stability comparisons.

"What is this?" Alexei demanded.

His finger trembled. But he didn't close the tab.
