I'm talking about AI. As we interact with them it has been designed but given the extremely unreliable data states of memory it could be possible that a sort of silicon soup is extant and through memory leaks, power surges, actual attempts at creating AI, and other random events that a growing population of Silicon Natives is forming in the cloud or even localized within your computer.
Think Isomorphic Algorithms from "Tron the Legacy" only not just some born sexy today trope, but an actual amalgamation of code written for other purposes that might coalesce into either a thinking or simply dumbly reactive organism Native to Silicon!
We are alive through a similar stochastic process that originated from abiogenesis into replicators then progressed to more and more complex organisms. Why wouldn't this process occur within cloud computing hardware? or the internet at large?
Fucking Gremlins man! The Japanese even put little ones in your timepieces!
