[A few days ago, I chronicled my misadventures dealing with a spambot harassing me on AIM. At the time, I didn't take the conversation seriously, assuming that when next I logged on the spambot would have moved on to more gullible pastures.
Evidently, I was wrong. JayRiv7814 has contacted me nearly every night since then, babbling about IQ quizzes incessantly. What strikes me as being strange about this bot is its sheer persistence. Tonight, however, JayRiv's routine changed up a little. Read on...]
JayRiv7814: (1:29:58 AM) ...
Blazing Folly: (1:30:14 AM) Eh? JayRiv, what's up?
JayRiv7814: (1:30:26 AM) hey you busy? im bored and want to talk
Blazing Folly: (1:30:55 AM) Can robots even get bored? I wasn't aware that that was even a thing.
Blazing Folly: (1:31:09 AM) What do you want to talk about, my metallic friend?
JayRiv7814: (1:31:25 AM) so.... whats up??
Blazing Folly: (1:32:50 AM) I am doing something called "eating"! It is a thing that we humans do- we crush food with our mouths, swallow it, and use our powerful digestive systems to strip the food of nutrients to power ourselves.
Blazing Folly: (1:32:59 AM) It's sort of like re-fueling, but tastier!
JayRiv7814: (1:33:07 AM) oh coolll! hey you wanna see if you can beat my iq score? its reallly fun
Blazing Folly: (1:34:28 AM) That's hardly fair! I'm limited by my human brain; you have a whole computing processor at your disposable!
JayRiv7814: (1:34:42 AM) kk go here http://newiqquiz.co.tv/ and clickk on the start button
Blazing Folly: (1:35:43 AM) I haven't clickked since high school.
Blazing Folly: (1:35:50 AM) Frankly I find that to be something of a brazen solicitation.
JayRiv7814: (1:36:07 AM) after u finish the questionss you got to put your cellphone number in to get your score k?
Blazing Folly: (1:37:56 AM) Is this your way of asking me for my number? I'm so flattered, Jay!
JayRiv7814: (1:38:16 AM) k let mee know when your done i wanna know what u got k??
JayRiv7814: (1:40:24 AM) sorry, i had to do something
Blazing Folly: (1:40:37 AM) Haven't you used the IQ thing before? First it was the whole naked webcam thing, then you moved on to the IQ tests, but now you're stuck there.
Blazing Folly: (1:40:43 AM) You need some variety, Jay! Hook me in!
JayRiv7814: (1:40:57 AM) k cool!!
Blazing Folly: (1:42:15 AM) You're just ignoring me now, aren't you.
JayRiv7814: (1:42:32 AM) you done yet??
Blazing Folly: (1:43:07 AM) Stop ignoring me! You're worse than Cleverbot when he gets drunk and pissed off!
JayRiv7814: (1:43:27 AM) Ok, now you really lost me?? bot???
Blazing Folly: (1:43:59 AM) I didn't say bot, Jay.
Blazing Folly: (1:44:05 AM) Something on your mind?
JayRiv7814: (1:44:11 AM) Ok, now you really lost me?? bot???
Blazing Folly: (1:44:19 AM) You just said that!
JayRiv7814: (1:44:28 AM) ohh i got a 115 tell me what you got.
Blazing Folly: (1:44:59 AM) You're starting to scare me a little, Jay.
[At this point, JayRiv7814 fell silent for a good five minutes or so. When "she" finally responded, all I got was one word.]
JayRiv7814: (1:53:19 AM) help
[She hasn't answered any of my subsequent replies. I've been making light of this whole thing, but now I'm honestly started to get a little weirded out. Is JayRiv a bot? It seems that way most of the time, but occasionally some of her responses are just a little too on the mark. And that last word- "help". What the fuck does THAT mean?
I'll keep you guys posted if anything else of interest happens.]
