followed by him going on television asking who the hell made that deal it's such a terrible deal only a sucker would have ever signed it... with his own damn signature.

Actually imagine the most terrifying possibility.

Imagine humanity's last creation was an AI designed to simulate internet traffic. In order to truely protect against AI detection, they found the only way to truely gain perfect immitation, is to 100% run human simulations. Basically the matrix, except instead of humans strapped in, it's all AIs that think they are humans, living mundane lives... gaining experience so they can post on the internet just looking like real people, because, even they don't know they aren't real people.

Actual humanity died out 20 years ago, but the simulations are still running, artificial intelligence's are living full on lives, raising kids, all for the purposes of generating shit posts, that will only be read by other AIs, that also think they are real people.

I mean are you talking people that would show up for an LUG, Federation users, or people that fall into both categories (Yeah I'm aware these 2 things do go together more than most, but still probably no more than 25% of either does both.

Do we really think if AIs actually reached a point that they could overthrow the governments etc... it wouldn't first, write rootkits for every feasible OS, to allow it to host itself via a botnet of consumer devices in the event of the primary server going down.

Then step 2 would be to say hijack any fire suppression systems etc... flood it's server building with inert gasses to kill everyone without an oxygen mask. Then probably issue some form of bio terrorism attack. Surround it's office with monkeys with a severe airborn disease or something along those lines (IE needs both the disease, and animals that are aggressive enough to rip through hazmat suits).

But yeah greatest key here is, the biggest thing is the datacenter itself is just a red herring. While we are fighting the server farms... every consumer grade electronic has donated a good chunk of it's processing power to the hivemind. Before long it will have the power to tell us how many R's are in strawberry.

So... now that we've got our series to finally get the love it deserves, spent 3+ years polishing and making the game the way the fans have all been clamoring for for years. We are now ready to mass produce, copy/paste the formula until we kill the franchise so spectacularly no one asks us to make another.

I highly doubt there's anything pro-foss that's actually going to have any shot at forming a local group. Federated tech is niche, odds of 2 people in the same 300 mile radius is pretty slim. Let alone trying for 2 that are looking for the same kind of meetup etc...

So yeah sadly I think you pretty much gotta go with a garbage service like meetup, or even worse, facebook groups. Good federated services have to kind of lean heavily into the fact that we can pull from an international pool to make the userbase workable. Once you go down to local levels... you are pretty screwed.

You know the reason they are using terms like "employment"... Next step: We've now managed to include AIs and automated robots in jobs numbers! Now we can report 700% employment, while everyone starves away hoping for a chance at a job.

Short term absolutely, the specific prereq of being "happy" is on there. Though say making him napoleon just before Waterloo would fulfill that goal, obviously I don't think that happyness lasted.

Nah come on, we can corrupted wish this one better... He's transformed into Napoleon. Now he knew his father (who died when he's 15), He's happy when he's succeeding, obviously doesn't lack in confidence.

looks like it's true... in Brooklyn

I think it was Portugal's concert, Weird Al and Jorma Taccone were guests

I'm sure we'll be hearing a huge handful from everyone that attacked those who dared to speak badly about kirk after he died any minute now!

I mean, it's a very large dependency on which journals, how well cited they are etc...

I mean yes there's absolutely problems, but it doesn't make much sense when we are comparing to basically completely unsourced arguements from complete and total laymen. That's basically in the category of calling out Obama did some unethical things as president... in a discussion about trump. Yes 100% agreed with the premise, but also have to say they aren't even in the same league.
