"See?? Here's that DEAD BEEF CAFFEE again! Look! Again! The FECE FACCA AFFEC7!! I'm so close to crackin' it! Aha.. Aha.. ABEBE23.. BECACA17.. 1337C0C.. It all clicks in place, don't you see? I'm totally getting it!"
He was all bubbling like this throughout the whole night until his brain just issued a shutdown to let the body rest a bit. That was truly a horrible sight.
I remember him every time I see instances of AI psychosis around.
