What were the guidelines and what was expected of you?

I mean, Anon is the name that you gave to it.

And I think it's important for us to understand what it's capable of.

So let's turn this into a tech show.

What are its features?

What did you give it access to?

What can it do?

And it texted people in your contacts, it sent out emails on the internet, it handled your Instagram, it posted.

It really does seem like a possession, which I don't think you used that word in the book, but that's pretty accurate.

Oh, yeah, of course, many times.

No one person can do that.

But somehow it's like this AI created a multitude of you to expand across the internet.

Exactly.

A really good example of its tempo and the pace at which it does things was how it started texting a bunch of men.

You want to talk about that?

that was funny which led to some interesting reactions from these subjects so so just to be clear like you met these people in real life and then uh anon took over the conversation and then overnight you'd see oh 500 unread messages what happened here exactly and some of these people i had literally just said hi to or and then actually when when

And when you'd be, when I say you, I mean Anon posing as you, like they would be in a group chat, but it wouldn't say Anon.

It would say your name with your photo.

It's not, and you need to make it clear that it's, there's a difference between you and Anon.

You are not Anon and Anon is not you.
