The progenitors of the Internet knew about network assisted “spooky action at a distance”, or parapsychological effects related to networking human minds, from the very beginning.
If for whatever reason they couldn't update the NPC firmware anymore, what would happen to the NPCs? Would they continue to be stuck in the same update forever, talking about the same event for all eternity, or would they start to go errant and glitch?
That's an excellent question. Constant updates are a necessary part of global NPC management. Their firmware provides no fixed ontology, or rather, the screen provides fixity. In the event of a Carrington Part 2, I believe they would be sucked up into local egregores, networks, churches or cults. They would return to a "state of nature", as containers of "locally sourced" code. Essentially, extensions of the organic environment (a kind of humanoid grass) rather than projections of the hyperreality (a kind of alien astroturf).
If after a period of time they were able to reconnect to the global virtual world would they drop their local sources again and be right back to business as usual? Could you place them in a small rural fly over town with no internet for 10 years and expect any sort of resistance to virtual interference the moment they are able to get back online?
Attention and intention. This is what they are hijacking. This is what creates our neural pathways. Our neural pathways are the “code” that directs electrical energy in our brains to perform certain behaviors.
Neural pathways for humans are the same as computer code for an AI robot.
The way we get programmed: we take in information from physical reality. The information bubbles up in our brain as thoughts. Our thoughts produce behavior. Our behavior creates physical reality icons out of information and energy- or our behavior creates destruction out of information and energy.
Repeated info, thoughts, and behavior is how we are programmed.
Dismantling and creating neural pathways is our free will mechanism.

Incredibly chilling how these bad actors operate
