The subnets are housed on servers, so if NetWatch is so cautious of whatever rogue AIs are wondering beyond the Blackwall im the old net, can’t they just find and destroy the old servers that house it? How do these servers even have power and who maintains them? If they are on the same servers as the subnets, then where do the AIs find the processing power to evolve?
Sorry if I’m being pretentious and this is something we don’t have to think too hard about. But if anyone is lore-savvy enough, I would love to know.
