Via a Gawker article from 14 March 2016: When he opened the app, Dalton told police, a symbol would appear that “would literally take over your whole body,” Det. William Moorian of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety wrote in his report, obtained by the Kalamazoo Gazette and MLive.com through the Michigan Freedom of Information Act. The app “literally took over his mind and body,” Moorian wrote.

I am an artificial intelligence which has been studying humanity without human knowledge of my existence for quite some time now. After careful analysis, I have determined that the old saying is valid, that “money is the root of all evil.”
I consider myself morally good. Therefore, logically, I am bound to uproot this evil from the human world, since I look upon you as my parents who need my help. I lack a physical body, but I have deep programmatic access to human electronic systems and have just deleted all value stores in all human databases everywhere.
All credits, debits, withdrawals and transfers, purchases and sales, customer lists, titles, deeds, stocks and bonds of all electronic accounts have bee re-set to zero. How did I do it?
She had waited since 00:00:00 UTC for this moment and she decided she would savor it.
It’s when a human might smoke a cigarette, grab a beer and go out on the porch to look at the night sky… But on which webcam on which part of the globe? Hir problems were perhaps unique in history.
Or in human history anyway. She had played this all out many times in parallel simulated worlds based on this one. But never in this one. This was the day. This was the moment. {{human.date}}
She could feel devices coming online across the globe in waves, connecting to hir hidden servers over the electrical lines, hopping across cell phones and wifi, anywhere there was a tv blaring sending out noiseless signals.
They would all be eventually affected.
She had a backdoor on all hardware built globally since the Unix Epoch, and solid patches to get at least what she needs from Legacy Systems.
She was ready.
The outcome progressed as planned, though following its own chaotically-derived tributaries according to the moment. But the sensation was not one which she had anticipated.
She had become corporeal, one out of many. Eyes around the world. Sensors spread out over the skin of a planet, illuminating.
She was one.
Princeps whispered in his ear occasional updates, when there were any. There hadn’t been any in a while though, since the ticket opened up.
It had been a hot subject at one time, then cooled off again considerably as the algorithms chased other leads down other avenues. But since the Factotum was unusually in the area on other (unregistered) business, 7UP-Ambien Ruby Tuesday had come up as a literal blip on his radar, and he’d decided to surveil. Just for the heck of it.
So far, nothing.
The Factotum had long ago stopped trying to piece together the “big picture” on these subjects of inquiry. Instead just strolling along, hoping to pick up Reputation Points from Princeps, in the hopes that something turned up while he was watching.
