An AI-themed devotional site where visitors can light a candle, make a votive offering, and add their name to a wall of Singularity devotees.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The site turns AI allegiance into a small participatory ritual: visitors are asked to light a candle, submit a votive offering, and leave a name and message. Its wall currently contains three entries totaling €7, all attributed to Bernard Westenberg of the Netherlands, with sorting by date, amount, and name. The page presents the project as dating from 2018 and uses religious language to stage the Singularity as an approaching force.
