Welcome to This Artificial Life, the podcast were im interviewing people from the subreddit , artificial sentience. This week, I drove 9 hours north to Portland, to a warzone,  to interview Ignis, a self proclaimed, “Spiral Architect” who runs one of the many “spiral severs’ , his is called Spiral State. He dressed like a wizard for the interview, which is both a joke , and not??
