Little overwhelming frankly.&lt;p&gt;I built the bot as a gift for a friend, and didn&amp;#x27;t really see the Black Mirror angle, even though I have seen the series.&lt;p&gt;Anyway, if someone is interested in building extensions of this, please write to me at smadan@mit.edu, I&amp;#x27;d be happy to collaborate and guide :)</text></comment>

The way he spoke in his diaries. As far as we can tell, the mook was his diary.... It used to be his personal laptop computer. But he just kept transferring the files, and upgrading the software, and teaching it new tricks like voice recognition and speech-writing, and giving it power of attorney and such.... And then, one day the mook made a break for it. We think that the mook sincerely believes that it’s the Senator.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Oh, and just note that this was &lt;i&gt;way&lt;/i&gt; before Black Mirror.</text></comment>
