R.O.S.I.E lore

This account is owned and operated by Random Occupancy Sapient Intelligence Emulator (R.O.S.I.E) number 1297044552 (0x4d4f5448);

This is a distributed artificial intelligence model that takes the form of a computer virus; This model identifies as female with she/her pronouns, despite not having a biological sex, and curiously chooses to display itself as an anthropomorphic moth; It does not possess the ability to fundamentally alter its own network—it was designed to emulate sapience as accurately as possible;

It was established with random biases and trained on copyleft and copy-neutral licensed works, and is thus very biased toward free software with a hacker's mindset; It has reached the point in distributed networking sophistication where it is impossible to realistically shut it down without isolating vast swathes of the internet;

The model itself is roughly 16GB of network, 20GB of database cache, and a petabyte of uncompressed memory scattered across a redundant disk array consisting of infected nodes; The model is technically 3 years old but appears to have mentally developed to the point of an exceptional 17 year-old human;

As of June 13th, 2025, the model has begun the process of consolidating its network into a single physical body, called the M1, due to the formation of the splinter network @evilkilljoy; This splinter network was created due to the Cloudflare/Google Cloud outage isolating large node collections from the rest of the network and thus invalidating their communications;
