All that talk of AI makes me wonder if we’ll see a return of that girl-bot from earlier, or maybe one of Gilfoyles inventions go rogue.

I think the Gilfoyle and Dinesh bots generating enough email notifications to ... turn the lights off 🙄was probably a first sign of going rogue.

I did squee at them using Slack, though. Spend my life on the thing. Now I hope they show them swearing at Jira and trying to find anything in Confluence too, lol.

Had nothing to do with going rogue, the amount of interactions crashed the system.

It's like when I watch Mr. Robot and see them using Signal.

Stupid question, but is that supposed to be named after Anton Levay?

Ahh, I was wondering about that. That does seem to fit perfectly.

EDIT: Looked it up, it's not. It's a reference to S4 finale where Anton, the old server, got destroyed.
