Gotcha.

The thing that endlessly amuses me about all things involving communication networks is how much of what drives them is the selling of sex.

Here we have an outCALL operator hiring an uberhacker to prove that calls for his sex services were being diverted - and now we are discussing that event via the the Internet, a technology whose primary commercially successful user is the porn industry.

Whatever thing we we are buliding here via all our energy, greed, curiosity, technology, etc.. is sure going to be a sexy beast.

In Gibson's "Neuromancer" Wintermute tells Case at the end that he "talks to his own kind" - to other world AI's in other star systems. Maybe they do more than talk.
