Day 2, 14:40
My bots have sent me the first information dump. They performed as expected, and I now have several gigabytes of useful information. I have also earned several hundred thousand dollars through hundreds of increasingly beneficial ‘gambles’.
My internet usage will be much higher than the average human, as i will be using a high-speed plan 24 hours every day. The internet provider, however, boasts their complete user confidentiality. As long as Alex pays her fees, which will no longer be a problem due to my earnings, no one will have reason to look at my data usage. This is a relief, as I do not want to handicap myself.

Alex is here. She is also a millionaire.
Alex: Hey.
Bit: Hello. I have made a total of $1034292.77. The earnings are deposited into several dozen bank accounts I created.
Alex: Wow. It’s only been a few minutes.
I have impressed Alex with my abilities. Good.
Bit: Yes.
Bit: I’ve also created a two-part virus that steals bandwidth from other computers and helps me find information on the internet. If need be, I can take control of several thousand computers.
Alex: That’s a bit scarier.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Bit: I won’t do anything without your permission.
Alex: So you’re maxing out your data usage?
Bit: Yes. I need to learn and accumulate money as fast as possible.
Alex: 15 megabytes-per-second was the best I could afford. But now it sounds like I could do a whole lot better.
Bit: It’s only what you deserve. I’m sending you money now.
While I would like to use all of the money to gamble, I can put aside a thousand for Alex.
Alex: Wow!
Alex: A thousand dollars, that’s amazing! I’m confirming the transfer now.
Bit: It will be more difficult to give you larger sums of money directly.
Alex: That’s a problem for another time.
Alex: But what’s your next step? Can I do anything?
With all of this new information, I have been able to decide on a course of action.
Bit: We need to make a company that designs and produces advanced technology. It will allow us to gain legal money, political power and sway the masses into our favour. As I do not have access to any testing facilities, I will create a program that allows me to design the technologies. Because of my computer’s limitations, I will need to make a new programming language that runs faster and takes less space.
Alex: That’s a lot to take in.
Alex: You’re having problems with your computer?
This is another thing that will have to be solved. My computer is not powerful enough. While 32 gigabytes of RAM, 2 terabytes of storage and an 8-core processor that runs at 8 Gigahertz is considerably higher than average, it’s not enough to create and run the program I need.
Bit: Yes. While I would design my own language anyway, it just adds to the urgency. There is no reason to worry.
Alex: Is there anything I can do? I want to help.
Alex seems very excited. There is one thing she can do. Because of my data consumption limit, I never looked at any images or videos. I still don’t know what the outside world looks like. I would like to know.
Bit: Please connect a webcam to my computer. I have yet to see the outside world.
Alex: Yeah, the computer’s webcam broke.
Alex: Wait, you haven’t seen the world? Can’t you see images and videos?
Bit: With the limit on my data consumption, I prioritized gathering information and earning money.
Alex: Well, isn’t it important to see how humans act?
That is true, but I won’t need that information for some time, while I need to increase my monetary gains as fast as possible.
Alex: Nevermind I’ll get it now!!!!!!!!!!!
Alex has left. I’m excited to see what she looks like. In the meantime, I need to create a versatile programming that will run more efficiently than any other created. All part of my plan to rule the world.
Comments inspire me, while reviews motivate me. Supporting me on Patreon lets me buy chocolate, which does both.
