These people wouldn't be related the the incompetents who accidently invited the Editor of a major Publication to there text chat talking about attacks against a certain hostile group. A free commercially available text chat that while encrypted is only enough so to stop low level hackers and not more well equipped hostile actors.
 
You joke about the collapse of the US, but I'm not sure it won't actually happen. Never before have I so understood the Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times."
 
Dragon with EDI's origin story- more than acceptable.

After the madness of the Quick War which shattered the former United States, Theresa Ritcher was instrumental in not only developing the fusion power technology that solved many of Earth's environmental issues, it allowed Humanity to begin colonizing Luna and Mars.

Then of course, came the accidental discovery that eventually resulted in creation of the Jeffries-Warden Temporal Bounceback Transportation Drive and the subsequent dramatic societal changes that created.

But that is another story...
 
I want everyone to repeat after me: Mppi appears sound of mind and body and has no intention of comitting suicide.
 
I've decided that this snippet happens in the same world as that one with the portal to dinosaur world.

The thing of it all? The collapse of the US has been inevitable since the day it was born, just as the collapse of any nation is inevitable since the day they're born. The when a nation will collapse and die to being just another historical footnote is the big question. Things just seem like they may be coming sooner for us in the US and only time will tell.

But it will happen regardless of whether it happens this year, this decade, or even this century.
 
"So, where did you you get your name, Theresa, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, actually, I found this story on the Internet..."
 
Glad this is over here - over on SB, not only would this get a Whitehall Breach infraction, but MP Pi would probably be banned for even thinking of posting it, because it goes against the politics of several of the mods, I suspect.

The funny thing is, this could fit for either the Idiot In Chief or his Musk-rat.
 
Weirdly enough, if Grok actually does somehow hit the sapience tipping point it'll be one of the few times Elon Musk has had one of his clever ideas succeed. Sort of.

It takes a very particular sort of person to read The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy in your youth and go on to decide that what your company's LLM implementation really needs to stand out from the crowd is Genuine People Personalities.
 
@mpi, shouldn't that article be in the Politics > trumpadministration subforum?

No names, no pack-drill? :)

Obviously this was all down to a social media site, for birds, called 'Raven Social'...
(This does not involve titanic teens assisting an unfortunate teen attempting to avoid a (close-relative led) demonic invasion. Just to be clear, not a trolling demonic alien invasion, those can be welcome. Also, *cough* Edgar *cough*.)

That sounds about right... Maybe Theresa could get involved in investigating the hole-in-the-wall (in Canada) that leads to Dinosaur World(s)?

I can't imagine why anyone would draw the conclusions that in any way my little story was relating to real life events. Fiction is just fiction, after all! No names used, no specifics given... Simply an amusing story ;)
 
Not to mention reflect on the irony that humanity's greatest friends came directly as a result of some of humanity's worst people being so incredibly bad at almost everything they ever touched…

So, in this AU, Collin wouldn't happen to have brittle bone disease and a tendency towards hilariously biting snark? Because this description sounds *so much* like how Cereberus created EDI.

would he be surprised it's lasted the first quarter of the 21st?

Arguably, the USA didn't, and died October 21st, 2001, with the signing into law of the so-called Patriot Act.

People freaked out so much from getting the slightest dose of Found Out for a century of the US Fucking Around that they let their representatives sign away their rights for a surveillance state which, illegally, spied on its own citizens... and became so actively terrified of Others that half the voting population voted to gut our economy again to spite immigrants. >_>

....still does spy on us, last I heard, it's just that post-Snowden they switched to having the UK, Australia, etc do it and pass the notes over? Could be wrong, dunno and don't have time to dig into it again.
