Do they end up determining that every weird piece of code they find must have been used for religious or ritualistic purposes?

Ascension to AI plays a quasi-religious, soteriological role in the world of the book.

What are you talking about? They’re so ubiquitous.

this only ones you can recognize What about others which you think is made by human?

Bernie Sanders proposes a lot of things that are never implemented. I’m not sure his support is actually a useful signal of greater support.
