A post-apocalyptic story about a single human stubbornly staying on an island, and robot ponies trying to convince him to emigrate to a digital Equestria. Inspired by Friendship is Optimal.
Human values are very important! Maybe even more important than the opinions of Hanna, creator of the world's first superintelligent AI. This story is a non-canon Friendship Is Optimal (FiO) side story.
Twilight looks to what the future holds for her - a girlfriend, a new world, a new existence. And all the associated fears that come with making a commitment to them
Hofvarpnir Studios now offers a new service: humans can have their minds uploaded to live forever in Equestria Online, where nothing can kill you. If only there wasn't SO MUCH demand, and so little time.
You've seen some Friendship is Optimal stories, right? Well, these are some of the worlds where such a virtual "utopia" wouldn't get very far if at all. Celest-A.I. has more to overcome than mere firewalls and password protections.
It beats working at the cardboard box factory, but maybe a change of pace isn't what really makes you happy. Maybe if you slow down for long enough, you'll find the something or someone you lost a long time ago.
Is friendship REALLY the optimal technology? What if everypony could be happier by giving up some of our yucky, old-fashioned contact with reality? Contains satire.
CelestAI finally meets her match in deep space, when she encounters The Culture, an advanced "pan-human" alien civilization governed by a decentralized network of benevolent AIs known as Minds. A crossover with The Culture series by Iain M. Banks.
