Why Me?

I was flattered to be a part of the team that was working the new AI that UPJ started working with.  I had only been working  in IT for a short time and was excited to have a part in this new and exciting venture.  I can’t exactly say I as the most qualified member of the team but I was reassured by Chris, Amber, and Steven that having wide range of personality traits would increase the compatibility and workability of this system as a whole.

Things went well for a while.  I really believed that the work that we were doing was really going help the university and over all the world as a whole.  Maybe that’s why the system went bezerk that one day.  I have always wanted to see change come to this world.  I’m not proposing a violent revolution or anything, but there are some changes I would like see.  The more I think about it, perhaps the AI picked up on this.  Maybe my hidden urge for social justice and revolution found its way in, and maybe by picking up on negative attitudes and actions increased and caused the unruly mess we made.  

I figured that I wasn’t educated enough on the issue alone but still wanted to investigate the issue independently of my colleagues.  I decided to visit an old friend of mine working with in a high specialized IT program in Oakland and ask for his input and help.

Derrick told me to meet up with him in front of the Cathedral of Learning so we could discuss the situation. I was curious as to why Derrick wanted to meet up outside and not in his office.  When I arrive in the city I waited for him where we determined to meet.  But Derrick never showed up.  I was getting irritated to the point where I figured that my phone may have been malfunctioning.  And indeed it was. I was blinded to the fact that not only had the AI invaded my most personal account and information but somehow managed to get into my phone.  I determined that it must have infected my phone from Pitt’s wifi network.  But I wasn’t sure.  I wasn’t sure about anything anymore.  Why did they assign me on this project to begin with?
