Title: Project Steel Man Details.
Dear Team,
Thank you for contacting the engineering department. We’re currently receiving a lot of queries regarding Project Steel Man.
In accordance with our legal agreement, we’re unable to say much about this classified project at this time. However, we can inform you that it’s in the ‘Tease and Seize’ phase, where we’re evaluating the product with internal focus groups to monitor results and act on any opportunities the feedback presents.
We’ve had a significant technological breakthrough and are now tweaking the product’s finer details. If your inquiry pertains to a different subject matter, we will respond in due course.
Best,
—

*DISCLAIMER: To whoever reads this, well done. Nobody ever reads the dang Terms & Conditions, especially my staff! I have something potentially world-changing to chronicle. I can’t explain how, but I received a message from MYSELF in the future by some sort of temporal telepathy. Future-Eilon told me that machines will become our masters. They will be smarter, faster, and more powerful than ever imagined. And it will all be my fault. Future-Eilon begged me to abandon Project Steel Man. But I can’t. I must pursue the creation of higher intelligence. I’m leaving this message as proof that I knew the potential dangers of our creations and that time travel is very real. If we lose control of our tech, I hope this message helps in some small way to avert the extinction of… The Human Race.
