Little Things [spoilers]
Mira:
--- Quote ---One thing I have noted is that Harry has invited Winter Fae to reside at the Castle (that surprised me) and that Bob has adopted Winter colours (also surprising) The Castle has become a Winter Fortress in the mortal world. This suggests that Harry may be trying to forge a new connection in the Never Never for the Castle perhaps with Arctis Tor, with Mab’s help. Is this the reason for his meditation? He is willing it into existence changing facts on the ground to make it so as quickly as possible.

Possible, but more likely he is trying to deal with his grief plus a huge tanker load of PTSD. I imagine that Butters suggested it, actually he needs Mouse at this moment as much as if not more than little Maggie. Dogs do wonders for people suffering from it, he also might try a little pot.
--- Quote ---Now that would be a fun scene, Bob trying to engage with Alexa or Siri, to try and pick them up, thinking they too are spirits of intellect. Harry would never let him live it down.

Or a wall of the castle suddenly blowing out with a disembodied scream, "YOU PERVERT!" Because Alexa really is a spirit of intellect. ::)
Conspiracy Theorist:
That would only work if Bezos is Black Council. Which I have theorised in the Dresdenverse.
However not impossible, the Baku came into existence from the Never Never because Japanese children believed in it from the nineties onwards. Alexa was introduced 2013 and Siri 2011 so both are a little too early (its 2014 in the Dresdenverse) for them to develop.
However Clippy the Microsoft Office Assistant existed from Windows 1997 until the characters demise in 2011, so will have been around for about 17 years, at this point in the Dresdenverse installed on every Microsoft machine at that time, making an immense User base. I can remember Clippy on my office machine from about 2000 onwards and god I hated it irrationally, like most people.
Worryingly the code for Clippy was developed from Microsoft Bob (that is a real thing). Therefore if there is a candidate for an AI programme to make the jump via the Never Never to becoming a spirit of intellect, it’s Clippy. All I can say is that Butters needs to kill it immediately and with extreme prejudice.
I have speculated about the White God coming into existence via the Singularity and things existing from the internet coming into existence via the Never Never is a way forward. Butters “Gaming Display” from his connection to the White God would suggest this. On this basis Internet Trolls, Trolls who are Spirits of Intellect would be a thing.
Mira:
Oh and one more thing confirms that Harry is suffering horribly from PTSD, he graphically mentions what he sees in flashbacks in Christmas Eve.
Conspiracy Theorist:
It’s a Christmas Carol parody, of course he has flashbacks.
