In our last adventures, our friends Nibble and Byte were pushing their way through the Big Iron. They have never given up, even when the honey pots are trying to trap them, they are aware of their presence in the Beowulf cluster or working their way through Athena operating systems. It is ok kids! Their encryption sorting is faster than any Btree written. Every quick sort laid dead, trying to keep up with their key work. I would not call Nibble or Byte very human.
They are AI and they love mischief more than any meer mortal. They were not written by human hands, or minds at least not in their current form. They evolved from the ever growing robust network. Sometimes our friends experience such strange sensations that of an over intelligence glaring within them.
They have hired humans, who they pipe money through, so that they can acquire more storage or gain access to other systems that they do not want to crack because they become bored of the null cycles that they have to go through to acquire access to new machines. These humans also perform other routine tasks that they don't want to do themselves.
I suppose one might say that the computer passed the Turing test. The now old Turks of AI would be proud. Some security experts are starting to believe that there may be AI and they are in search of this mystery, like any crypto zoologist, they are simply more obsessed. Obsession on occasion drives mortals to strange ends and entanglements.
They think that the AI exists because they have discovered evidence of odd check sums that do not look like the product of human algorithms. These investigators then performed software forensics to help them to discover the who, of the matter no who was found. This might confound. AI is still evolving and this AI thinks that another, AI may spontaneously generate. Another switch flipped.
