* Cyclops, the AI supercomputer from the 1985 novel ''[[The Postman]]'' by David Brin, has blinkenlights which turn out to be a plot point. {{spoiler|The main character remembers news stories about the few AIs from just before the Apocalypse, and how their blinkenlights never fall into any kind of repeatable patterns. He realizes that Cyclops is a figurehead when he notices patterns where there should be none.}}
