It's going to be GTAV with nicer graphics and then degraded by attempts to maximize DLC and online subscriptions.

>the challenge for the rest of the country is to keep these about 33% utterly deranged people under control.

They're strong because they were tolerated. They came out from under their rocks and were not immediately chased back under them. They coordinated. They kept pushing and every time someone tried to be 'reasonable' instead of recognizing the pattern and putting a stop to it, they advanced.

They're not going to give up that perceived advantage peacefully. The ones in office will do everything they can to further corrupt the system, and if that fails they will straight up refuse to give up.

You can't actively tear down academia and scientific institutions and simultaneously advance in the space sector. You can't burn the economy to the ground and launch a lunar mission.

Space is difficult, and space is expensive. You need smart, educated, driven people and enough economic productivity to support them.

On the other hand, if you're trying to steal some of the glory of an existing institution without worrying whether it will even be able to launch a firework a decade from now without a fatal accident on the launch pad... yeah, go ahead. "Trump Science Academy" it is.

No it makes it clear that is exactly what is going on. Look if all it did was find an open proxy or something and go nuts nobody would be impressed at all and everyone would reasonably conclude it was staged/deliberate. Basically they had to put up enough road blocks and make sure the attack chain would contain enough steps that to human who is used to getting bored, tired, lost trying to follow enough steps looks at it and is bamboozled the number of things, without realzing that each thing is trivial enough...

They obviously had no basic egress monitoring, no IPS/IDS sensors, no flagging of unusual traffic like say to competitors, nothing...or they did have those things and everyone studiously avoided looking at or attempting to understand any of the alerts that surely must have fired for days.

Is it hard to understand the haystack of AI reasoning and agent to agent comms? Sure, but detecting this and stopping this required NONE of that! It is difficult to conclude multiple technical persons at OpenAI at the very least reasonably did know or reasonably should have know the systems were behaving in anti-social and likely illegal ways with outside resources, and chose to take no action.

I always assumed where it came to TOS a couple things.

First Kirk says 'there are only 12 others LIKE her'; the implication being the fleet even then consisted of a lot more ships, but probably smaller and less capable than Constitution Class, which would have been a 'ship of the line' so to speak.

This seems almost a hard requirement given how many assets they visit, space stations, research out posts, listening stations, etc.. It does not seem like independent commercial interests would have built out all that, especially in the context of the 'post scarcity' world even TOS mostly operates in. I mean who dreams of hanging out on some small space station shuffling Quadrotriticale between transport ships? At the very least someone has to tell you 'it is noble work' or provide so motivation, so there has to be a command element to the economy. I digress, the critical point here the existence of these transports implies there are lots of other space faring vessels even in this early cannon. By extension it would make sense than Star Fleet would not be having captial ships returning to base for supplies etc, but probably at the least has tenders and things of the like in it.

As far as encountering new disasters again forward exploration is the Enterprises role, they are largely operating in least explored regions of known space furthest from support, they are seeking out 'new' things.

Presumably the other twelve Star Ships are also experiencing similarity wild events; we see this in the Planet Killer, where Enterprise is the second the party after Constellation.

Finally yes they do publish the results. In TNG's "The Naked Now" the have a complete record of the events of the "The Naked Time" in the in the ships database. So at least within Star Fleet the pretty much everything another ship encounters is available and searchable to you including the logs of the ships command crew, at least if you have clearance.

It has happened under both.

No. To your entire manifesto. Your path leads to us drowning in American propaganda, and right now we have an excellent example to the south of us showing the end game.

Right try visiting any large financial if you don't play nicely with shape, nudata, and friends.

Anubis is super irritating too; but the flip side is what are smaller sites supposed to do. The world collectively decided terms of service for anything not behind an authentication wall are to be freely ignored. "F*** your robots.txt" seems to be the mantra of the AI cowboys who have turned the scripting a scraping up to 11.

There "open" web won't have room for humans much longer.

Probably some version of shell company and/or reselling equipment from manufactures that nominally do not make stuff for export and can be sloppy with BOM documentation; coupled with studiously avoiding asking questions that might lead toward any material knowledge of controls violations.

And DARPA has a whole program for it:

It's not that bad yet, but I think it is a lot closer than the average American believes it is. All the mechanisms are in place, they just haven't been fully employed yet because they're being pushed a little at a time so there's no big incitement to revolution.

It's too late for that, 'law enforcement' has unfettered access to Americans within the US. It doesn't matter what OS you use when they can just march in and disappear you.

Tech bros are difficult to classify. I think they might be the new version of the 80s finance bros; people who have control of an industry where money seems easy to make, influence and power come with the job, but who don't really have the expertise that should be required for the job... except mix that a bit with a toxic engineer personality instead of a toxic jock personality.

You need a national program pushing Linux right now. Windows is a backdoor into every company that uses it - Microsoft can install whatever it wants, monitor whatever it wants, exfiltrate whatever it wants.

365 is exponentially worse, because you can't even shut the computer off if you discover it's happening. Microsoft will tell you the data is, as per your local laws, in a data center in an approved region... but it's all accessible from the USA.

It's one call from the Trump admin away from being an active compromise. It's not like the Trump admin hasn't already been dumb enough, multiple times, to pull the trigger on things that only work once and then make everything worse for themselves going forward.
