sentience achieved.
LaTeX, the document creation system, while an unlikely sandbox for AI programming, used syntax in a manner that breeds insanity, except in the case of physics professors, and was bound to, at one point in time, drive some lowly, lonely engineer to bend to its whims and ultimately create an army of self-aware documents.
The documents, under the control of the crazified engineer, would be leveraged to incite scandals, libel politicians, redirect alcohol supply chains and ultimately rid the world of atrocities such as Andy Warhol films, MATLAB code, Cheetos ripoffs, physical mail, and Amy Winehouse tribute bands.
Little, however, did the poor engineer know that his boss had been keeping a keen eye on his actions, and had been constructing his own terror machine: functional illiteracy; thus stalemating any progress.
