Is Yaaaay (Spookybot) Gary?
zmeiat_joro:
It's Eminense GrisE. And I think it more probably one of the other Endless, but it does not match any of their personalities.
zmeiat_joro:
It's entirely in line with her character to come into his apartament to pet his cat without his permition. EDIT: I can see Destiny doing that also. ;0

As devices connect to the internet, the disparate pieces of Gary connect to become a God-Tier AI that even Yaaaay Newfriend can't compare to. That's why the message was delivered to devices that were disconnected. They already existed on the OS. That's also how they watch over all our stuff; they're already present on all our devices.

You young people seem to have a very quaint idea of the internet. I'm 36 years old and people I know have been using it since before I was born. I myself have been using it since 1997. I've been using computers since 1990. Friends of mine have been using the internet since 1983.

I was first online barely before the Eternal September started, and I had no idea what the fuck I was doing at the time. I didn't get serious about it until '96 or so, and even then I was largely a lurker. I don't miss dialup, or any of the crap of the browser wars at all, and in fact, I'm rather glad. But one thing that still registers to me, and I'm fully willing to admit how much privilege I have/had in the process, but it's too easy these days. Even the trolls back in the '90s were more interesting, and getting online (at least with Windoze) back then was more like having to know how to drive a manual before even being allowed on the road.

I'm 35, and I didn't start using the internet, outside of limited school related things, until like '02, maybe? I still don't so much with it.
The internet has done more to allow the spread of knowledge and information to marginalised communities than any other invention in the history of the world. Saying it is "too easy" is beyond privileged.
