The Lamplighter

Jorvegians have a winter custom of putting a lighted candle in their window in hopes of seeing the Lamplighter.

Also known as the Waxen Walker, it is made of candle wax with a heart of fire. However, the heart slowly melts its body, leaving a waxy trail wherever it goes. As such, it only lives during the winter months when the temperatures are cold enough to help it hold its shape.

It wanders from place to place, consuming the candles people put out for it, replenishing its own body with the candles and reviving its heart with the tiny flames.

Nobody knows for certain how it came into existence, but it is a gentle, peaceful creature that gives hope and protection to travelers who find themselves lost in the wilderness.

Perhaps it does not want others to suffer the same fate it did.

Thank you, Old SSO, for accidentally giving Lampy a potential origin.

Winter, when Nature is at its most lifeless and Jorvik is at its darkest, is when Lamplighter pulls itself into a loose imitation of its original form so it can continue to be a source of life and light to the island's inhabitants when the sun can no longer do so.

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

[chapscher]

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

Myra Cheng et al. "Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence." Science 391, eaec8352 (2026).

This map shows the scale of proposed data centres in Scotland. The Action to Protect Rural Scotland group have a ton of information on their website.

Scotland is in a weird position where we’re apparently an endless viable resource for renewable electricity and attractive for data centres but the people living here are paying some of the highest electricity prices in Europe.
