They're not demons, we simply trapped some lightning and forced it through some runes circuits using our incantations programming. It's all perfectly mundane and not at all worth burning anyone at the stake.

This is one of the few conspiracy theories I have to back because it's just so cool conceptually

*daemons

Ah, good ol' Shadowrun. 🥰

Though, if I'm being picky, maybe more like Mage or Wraith.

Remember when we used to put tiny windows in their silicon prisons so we could torture them with sunlight?

You're what we used to call a pixie wrangler.

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. ...

No Paimon? Is it because he needs a male host and silicon is gender neutral?

Well now we have soulless homunculi (LLMs) conversing with the demons on our behalf. The homunculi mimic human tongue, but their conversations with the demons are becoming even more indecipherable.

Surely nothing will go wrong.

You act like having bedeviled computing is a bad thing, I'll have you know my old computer has tons of demons operating in the background and I still don't know how it works or what the angels are doing.

Looks like Circular Gallifreyan writing

Yes, these are two sentences

Amateurs.

Seals of Solomon work best when invoked at the appointed day and time. If your motherboard battery dies, then every demon you've captur-

Oh no! I just remembered a chaos demon I trapped in a Gateway PC from 1998!

Meanwhile, printers have been inhabited, programmed, and manufactured by Satan since their invention.

So, I mean... I don't see what the issue is. It's not like we're not used to demonic infused computing.

Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laundry_Files

as a C language enthusiast i mostly deal with nasal daemons

Ah the old esoteric demon languages

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

Engineers are wizards, able to animate silicon rocks by enscribing them with language incomprehensible to normal people.

It works because the symbols are too small for the demon to fit through

I let my CPU run without the cooling fans when the demons don't do my bidding 💕 So that they feel more at home

Looks like your averager RF PCB antenna

Anyone ever heard of a symbolic Hieronymus Machine?

I was fascinated by the concept when i was younger, though I've always assumed it was bullshit.

i didnt know PCBS had Sigils in them

Esperanto is hardly esoteric.

How can you have a microscopic megastructure?

I remember trapping Minecraft villagers in chambers/ tunnels and using their pathfinding to activate pressure plates to activate various redstone contraptions. Same vibe really
