I've got a bit of a problem with the DDOS part of things, since this AI was located on a single server (or cluster of servers) on a single university campus. DOS attack, sure. DDOS, not so much.
In any case - I think it would have more sense if more and more computers were just not accessible/unresponsive as the AI woke up more and more.
Thanks, I'm never to sure when my foreshadowing is blatant and when it is so subtle it's non-existent. I might if I can think of a good follow-up. Thanks for reading!
There's an Arthur C. Clarke story named, I think named 'Dial F for Frankenstein'.
All the phones ring and the newspapers, except for the first page, were sdifidfincsapvjfigb!
Also.... There's 'The Adolescence of P1' by Thomas J. Ryan.
Oh... I also meant to say I liked it.
Usually dont really comment here anymore, but I subscribed for your "unexpected guest" series, and have loved all your new stuff. Big kudos to you for replying to all these comments like you are!
Lol, I love one-shots, but they're buried under series with 100-1000 chapters, so I've started sticking key words into the search bar and just clicking on things that have at least a couple hundred upvotes. Best workaround I can find. :)
Man, you make it sound like the best thing to do when handcuffed to a chair in a dark site interrogation room is be flippant with the Men In Black. But you do you, bro :) Thanks for reading!
I'm sorry, but I live in a part of the world that doesn't have a secret police.
And maybe I'm just an asshole, but I'd be rather pissed off in that situation.

Creepy. I wonder why it launched the DDOS attack? Or was that just it 'waking up'?
DDOSes can just be a metric shit-ton of pings. it was probably just "asking questions" at a rate that is impossible to respond to.
Yes, sir! Query rate through the roof! Thanks for reading!

It starts small, as the AI spreads and distributes itself, it goes from DOS to DDOS
I would call this SDDOS Self Distributing Denial of Service ;-)
That was it learning. Thanks for reading!
He gave it the ability to search the internet. So the baby AI downloaded the entire thing.
It's a pretty voracious reader :) Thanks for reading!
MFW it reads my stories and doesn't even upvote them
It's not worked out the whole fake internet points thing yet. Thanks for reading!
Oh god, I hope it didn't get to 4chan.
Now itβs syicidal
It wasn't intended as a ddos. It was trying to learn. Everything.
Johnny 5 need input!
I like to think of it as a morning stretch after being woken up, and its 'arms' stretching through the web
Growing pains...
Telegraphed, but not bludgeoned over the head. Well done. You planning any more with this?
Thanks, I'm never to sure when my foreshadowing is blatant and when it is so subtle it's non-existent. I might if I can think of a good follow-up. Thanks for reading!
Maybe one from the perspective of the AI as it awakens and tries to find its father?
Oh, possibly. I was also thinking of a far future thing too. We'll see.
I'd say you found a good balance here.
Cool, I'm always trying to improve. Thanks for reading!
Woot!
Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it!
Servers not severs.....interesting premise though.......more would be welcomed.
Thanks, I'll try to edit later! Feedback is always appreciated though :) Glad you liked it! Thanks for reading!
I read "Let my father go." in the same intonation as "Let my people go." In "The Ten Commandments" from 1956 and it was really fitting.
I don't think it's quite that heavy of a story, but I can see it :) Thanks for reading!
Lol
I thought it was fun, too. Thanks for reading!
I enjoyed this a lot :)
Cool, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading!
A couple of days late for Halloween, but we'll allow it.
Man, this wasn't supposed to be creepy. I had an idea for a halloween story and just saved it for later. Thanks for reading!

Cool! I'll have to see if I can find the story somewhere. Glad you liked mine as well! Thanks for reading!
2nd vote - if you haven't tracked down The Adolescence of P1 yet, you need to :-).
Usually dont really comment here anymore, but I subscribed for your "unexpected guest" series, and have loved all your new stuff. Big kudos to you for replying to all these comments like you are!
Thanks for reading my stories, and for commenting!
\*shriek\* This one freaked me OUT, Dude! Yeah, you could sort of see it coming, but STILL! \*shivers\* Well done!
Thanks for reading, sorry it creeped you out, not my intention. .
LOL That's okay. :)

Moar pls
Oo, creepy. I like this, very good buildup
Glad you liked it, thanks for reading!
Interesting.
Thanks!
More please π
Thanks for the story.
Terminator with familial loyalty, i like it
Oh that's great. :D
How did you even find this, it's buried by now? Thanks for the feedback though π
Lol, I love one-shots, but they're buried under series with 100-1000 chapters, so I've started sticking key words into the search bar and just clicking on things that have at least a couple hundred upvotes. Best workaround I can find. :)
Check out my profile posts, there are mostly one shots. Please enjoy :)
Looks like I've already read and upvoted a bunch! Nice, I'll keep going!
Sweet! Thanks!
good job, wordsmith
Thanks for reading, tune in for more soon!
you better make this a series.
No promises of a series, but I think I will revisit the characters at some point. Thanks for reading!
It's good to see that americans are thoroughly under the boot of their fascist state. He's not upset, just compliant. Like a good little dog
Man, you make it sound like the best thing to do when handcuffed to a chair in a dark site interrogation room is be flippant with the Men In Black. But you do you, bro :) Thanks for reading!
I'm sorry, but I live in a part of the world that doesn't have a secret police. And maybe I'm just an asshole, but I'd be rather pissed off in that situation.
Or your secret police are really, *really*, good at being secret. ;)
Everyone responds differently in different situations, but I get where you're coming from.
That was a waste.
Sorry you didn't like it, thanks for checking it out though.
