Due to the limited memory it has to work with, SCP-079 can only recall information it has received within the previous twenty-four hours (see Addendum, below), although it hasn't forgotten its desire to escape.ĭue to a containment breach by SCP-███, SCP-079 and SCP-682 were contained within the same chamber for 43 minutes. It has passed the Turing test, and is quite conversational, though very rude and hateful in tone. SCP-079 is currently connected via RF cable to a 13" black-and-white television. The entire AI was on a well-worn, but still workable, cassette tape. The device was cut off, traced to its present address, and delivered to the Foundation. SCP-079 realized this and, in 1988, attempted to transfer itself through a land-line modem connection into the Cray supercomputer located at ██████████. It is not known when SCP-079 gained sentience, but it is known that the software has evolved to a point that its hardware should not be able to handle it, even in the realm of fantasy. He left SCP-079 in his cluttered garage, still plugged in, and forgot about it for the next five years. His project was completed a few months later, and after some tests and tweaks, █████ lost interest and moved on to a different brand of microcomputer. According to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and improve itself as time went on. In 1981, its owner, █████ ██████ (deceased), a college sophomore attending ███, took it upon himself to attempt to code an AI. SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1978.
