I watched the rebirth of socrates
through a hole that birthed a new philosopher
every week
his quill mimicked the same
tainted ink as the last one and the one before that
we used pages he'd written on
to catch his climaxes
and told ourselves they'd
be worth something some day
Months after witnessing a savage assault, a young man joins his new girlfriend's family for a holiday dinner – only to realize the truth about what he saw isn't over,
and the cost of staying silent may be higher than he imagined.
Confronted by a society full of weaponized beliefs, a pair of disconnected friends contemplate their own convictions while on the brink of annihilation, challenging the idea of what it takes to be human.
You do not need a complete understanding of IP to make meaningful work. As an artist, it is reasonable to set a limit, protect what you can, and keep your focus on expression.
Provenance still matters because it creates a visible trail around authorship, ownership, and what is official when questions or disputes arise.
Smart contracts and related tools can provide temporary commercial protection by helping record origin, manage access, preserve context, and create clearer boundaries around a work, even if they cannot stop copying outright.
BatCat Attacks! stories use x402 because agents with wallets can already discover, pay for, and generate from available work. x402 creates a machine-readable paid access path, clearer signals around what is official, and a cleaner hand-off of access management in a machine-native environment.
The core idea is simple: artists can choose their limit, hand off some of the management burden to the tools available now, and keep creating.
x402 enabled usage grants for my stories, whole or in part, for your own agents to use in their generations.
Dark. Absurdist. Existential. Horrific. Agent ready.
