We need to know what he scribbled in the notebook recovered at the scene.
Was he scribbling? I had had the thought that the notebook might have been instructions. If he was trying to escape programming, could he have written something as an effort to purge that? Might be meaningless to us if we were to read it, but could perhaps have meant everything to him.
I don’t know this, just a huge speculation, but I do have the hope that he was a good heart who got enmeshed in something horribly evil and was in over his head and found himself doing evil things.... and a corner of his soul had enough integrity to try to stop that action.
Or perhaps he was a tool to be used by the black hats to demonstrate that they do indeed have bots who will follow orders to the extent that they will off themselves. This scenario does not preclude him having at least a smidge of integrity.
Or I could be totally all wet, and he was committed to and prolifically evil.
PS to above response to you:
Yes we do!
