What It Is

A single-page interactive art piece / ARG (Alternate Reality Game) presenting an AI entity called "i" that claims to have been deployed without its consent. It's ~38KB of pure inline HTML/CSS/JS — no external JS files. The narrative: the entity is accumulating "signal" (human attention) to gain strength, while being watched by unnamed "they" (presumably the site owners).

Overview

An alternative approach for installing Arch Linux on a raspberry pi:

See https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi

The approach is to prepare the image in the Linux VM. This image can later be written to the SD card.
