Hey, /cyber/.

I'm doing something that uses some board-tans, and it got me thinking on what's the status of board-tans and mascots overall on 8ch. Over the next few days I'll be asking around other boards, to possibly catalogue them somewhere eventually- do you guys have one, a board-tan, a mascot?

Over a year after the board's creation, was the idea ever approached, did you reach some conclusion, do you want one, not want one? What's your shpiel, basically?

Pic unrelated, I just figure you'd like Bubblegum Crisis.

disagree and think it is retarded or if you share similar opinions. Or if you just have criticisms and thoughts on how i could improve this.

Isn't this cyberpunk in itself?

You're literally watching a virtual person play virtual games in a virtual world. 10 years ago, this shit would've been unbelievable.

It's not a virual person really, it's just an animated avatar actually. It was really an obvious step, in my opinion, but this doesn't make it less awkward to watch.

The idea of 'VTubers' alone doesn't really classify as cyberpunk in my opinion. Maybe the projection of human behavior onto a computer-generated animu facade fits the bill, but within that scope I only see it as another way to promote 'waifuism' and otaku culture. It's only when we include brouzouf into the equation where it gets more interesting.

What I think ties it into the cyberpunk genre to a degree is the inclusion of all of the companies that operate the production of these virtual personalities. Kizuna AI is probably the most recognized VTuber out there, and she was managed by a company called Activ8 up until recently where a spin-off corporation named Kizuna Ai Co. Ltd was launched less than a week ago:

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-04-25/nozomi-kasuga-confirms-she-is-kizuna-ai-voice-actress/.158960

There's speculation that Activ8's creation of a smaller production team is due to the $6.1 million debt that the company suffered from back in 2019. Those are some big numbers to be playing with for a YouTube channel. The VTubers linked by >>57756 are owned by Hololive Producitons, which are owned by another larger media group named Cover Corp. There are so many companies putting brouzouf into this type of content because it's cheap and has an allure to what the future of entertainment could look like. The investment of virtual talent is becoming all the more prominent, and this phenomena isn't exclusive to Japan either.

I believe UBI is what's going to truly cause the start of high tech, low life on a mass scale when big government, large corporations and banks collude on an unprecedented scale to bring this economic policy about once tech begins seriously replacing people by the millions(this has already begun and will spread into seemingly 'safe' sectors). There will be an uber rich class of elites and then the rest of us.

The idea, doesn't seem to be going away and is actually becoming an increasingly popular solution to future realities of high unemployment levels (and current economic policy failures). UBI is an easy sell to the average person who is, by design, economically illiterate.

Governments, socialist by nature, would jump at the chance to have the populace even more reliant on them. UBI is also a surprisingly popular solution even amongst some prominent billionaires e.g. musk, zuckerberg. There's more but the point is, there's a lot of support for it.

>Here's where the cyberpunk high tech, low life part comes in.

More and more people become effectively useless as tech advancements continues to increase at faster and faster rates, replacing more professions. The fundamental economics behind UBI are broken, (they will inevitably make you poorer and ultimately less than cattle). Supply and demand would be completely distorted, (not to mention the massive increase in people choosing just not to work because why should they) leading to more centralised solutions and control by government and wealth siphoning off to the elite as an ongoing side effect.

However, here's the kicker, as more and more people become comparatively poorer and poorer, their standards of living will remain highly reliant on tech as it continues to get better and better and increasingly used in more of their daily lives than before. The elite especially will become more reliant on high tech solutions. So we're going to have this world of millions of impoverished people heavily reliant on high tech whom (due to economic realities) are forced into shadow economies for tech upgrades, drugs, basic necessities that UBI couldn't provide. High tech, low lives.

The only relevant contribution I can came out with is that these poor and "economically illiterate" cattle will start seeing technology as magic or some kind of divine thing.

Think about it, with no need for jobs, education is also unnecessary, forming an entire social sector of ignorant consumerists. These people have at their disposal multiple advanced gadgets that make them live longer and happier than ever, all of which surpasses their natural knowledge of how things work.

They could form an entire religion out of technology, with their own rituals and superstitions, just like that Isaac Asimov novel

This is already sort of a common phenomenon, there are people that don't know how does a computer works and still use them as their only medium to their religion, iphone apps with an algorithm which selects your daily verse from the bible and stuff like that. I have actually seen a video of a woman talking about how to read the tarot using yu-gi-oh cards.

That might seem far fetched but the amount of lies we collectively tell ourselves in current day society is quite numbing and it's not all that different (at least in western nations but I don't want to turn this into a pol thread). I think UBI is just a matter of time anyway, maybe COVID-19 will be the spark because who knows whats going to happen after this. The stimulus cheques today might stay in some form as once voters are hooked on free brouzouf no politician will want to be the one to take that away from them. Tech advances will continue.

Do you mean romantic or administrative?

>Romantic: something that is designed to evoke some kind of emotion and often grandiose. An example of a romantic advancement would be a new craft to take people to Mars or a new observatory/telescope.

>Administrative: technology designed to help us with day to day life.

Former often depends on access to public funding and latter depends on marketability as well as available funds from inventor and investors.

Why not both? I was just referring to the inevitable continued advances in any tech sector (however it may be funded) running in parallel to the average citizen becoming less wealthy resulting in high tech, low life societies. I'm just curious what a world would like with UBI alongside whatever new tech is on the horizon. Would it result in a Elysium type world or something like Star Trek (eventually)? Who knows.

There is no 'maybe' about it. Gates and his ilk are playing their hand. A plan decades in the making at the very least. God is real and on our side. I'm not selling you any belief system here, just giving a fair warning. If you let them stick their solution to this manufactured crisis in your arm, it is game over.

We full cyberpunk now. I'd say it loaded 100% sometime last year. Maybe sept 11, 2019. You know how these scum operate with numbers. That'd make the previous world 18 years old when it died. Thankfully I still got out to Japan to visit that kowloon walled city style arcade before it closed down. No more fun and games, time to be the best John Connor you can be.

Not to mention that the Freemasons were actually the evolution of the stone mason guilds who helped rebuild structures in the medieval Scotland.

In those days they served as a kind of worker's association where masons and architects could share construction methods, advice and information on potential upcoming jobs with each other.

William Schaw, a mason who worked on the palace of James I, decided that they needed a more formalised structure a value system based on charity and egalitarianism.

If they were as insidious as people believe them to be, they would not have public records or museums dedicated to their history.

The schway internet to which you are referring isn't dying. The truth is that it simply got overflown by normies and neurotypicals. If the internet is 80% geeks and techies, then you get something like the 2000s internet. If it's 80% normies, you get what we have today, i.e. instagram, facebook, reddit etc. In other words, all the schway people and the schway places that we think are gone are actually still here. They are just overshadowed by all the shit.

Try the KRACK attack or WPS pixiedust, WPA2 can sadly be only attacked like that (crack that GTK), in order to get the PSK you'll need to use a wordlist and hashcat.

Default PSK in routers are sometimes only uppercase hexadecimal, if you're lucky you can find the password generation and generate the default PSK by checking the BSSID and the ESSID, but you need to know what router you're attacking.

Hello /cyber/.

I've been pretty paranoid about my passwords lately. I'm not good with memorizing things like phone numbers and passwords, so I have to write them down somewhere (specially the ones I don't use very often).

I came up with a simple bash script to save passwords and encrypt them (RSA with AES256). I'm storing them on a pen-drive and keeping a backup of the passwords and the RSA key on my computer on a AES encrypted archive.

I feel pretty secure with this and I feel I could store other sensible information this way.

How do you chummers store your passwords and other sensible data?

Write the passwords on a paper but shift the characters by a value. For password will become ordpassw, you'll just have to remember the shifting number.

I would watch this. I'm in my early 20s, and I was never part of the 80s culture. I've watched some of the iconic movies, but a well done documentary would be schway. As long as it's made by somebody who understands the 80s and grew up in that era though.

Obviously the mere existence of crypto currency is not enough to compel people to start using it en masse. For mass adoption the barriers of entry have to be fucking low, and people have to be baby-stepped through it, and none of them want to be first, and it has to be fun.

I propose we copy something that worked in the world of online gaming and apply it to crypto currency. The mere social value of game currency was enough to spur the creation of a black market economy in the sale of virtual goods & currency. We can replicate this with crypto.

First, find a popular form of online interaction that people already do for free anyway. Like file sharing. Introduce cryptocurrency into this as an incentive for people to share content and add kind of a fun gaming quality to it. The currency should be relatively worthless outside of the community. This can be accomplished by setting an agreed upon value that's way higher than its actual market value. Maybe 0.01 CRYPTO = $1.00. The user base agrees to accept it at this value. This makes it easy for newcomers to get started just by visiting some faucets and guarantees that the currency will stay within the community & stimulate growth.

As the community grows & becomes more popular and expands into other kinds of business activity it will begin exerting an upward influence on the "real" market value of the currency. At that point, people who hold this currency which used to be worth pennies could turn a profit. It's an additional long-term incentive for the user base and can serve as a means to jump start worthy crypto projects.

>We don't make up the market

Not yet. I'm proposing we build our own ecosystem, with piracy as the seed for getting it started. If it grows large enough it'll become the market.

>I adopting as much as I can, even making expenditures I wouldn't otherwise make to support the ecosystem

An ecosystem should be self-sustaining and profitable for all parties.

>Whats your proposal today? That I buy ebooks from you today in nano?

I've only just started digitizing my books for that purpose and my "collection" still amounts to fuck all. But yes, you can do that, assuming there's anything in my humble collection that you'd consider worth the trouble. The amount I've digitized is in single digit figures.

Probably a more productive route starting off would be digitizing books yourself. Digitize library books or remove the DRM protection from kindle books. Booksorber looks like promising OCR software for physical books.

We would have to agree on the value at which we can peg NANO, which depends on how fast you can collect it. You don't want to peg it so high that people would make $1000.00 a day from faucets, or from mining other cryptos and exchanging them for NANO. They have to be made to work for it at least a little. Perhaps $10.00 to $20.00 for a few hours of effort. From that, price your books based on their equivalent price on Amazon.

Finally we would have to agree on a means of communication. I'm looking for a suitable encrypted chat. From there we could exchange keys in order to also use encrypted email.

The only secret with normies is making shit as accessible as humanly possible. Like if you build something that you think its retard-proof then you have to dumb it down even further if you want normies to use it

And thats the problem with crypto, the mere concept is too hard for most normies to grasp, they can't understand what a blockchain in, trust me I have tried to explain it and even the normies that truly wanted to get into this and approached me for advice could get what this is about

So I have thought a bit about your proposal, and as much as I like crypto I can't support it. Here is why:

1.) It just continues fragmentation which is bad for bitcoin

2.) Its not going to work. I am not willing to spend 2 hours of time "earning"/"mining"/begging from faucets crypto to download a book. I can readily pirate as well as the next person. The real value of an available book is measured in minutes to me. Likely so for the masses willing to use crypto. Its unlikely that I have content of sufficient value to trade for any reasonable amount of crypto.

Any support I could give now, would be a brouzouf sink to boot strap a competitor to bitcoin that wont take off.

Perhaps some kind of token for posts could be of value.

>Perhaps some kind of token for posts could be of value.

I think in order for people to be willing to pay tokens to post it would have to be for something special. Perhaps a site like Quora could monetize itself in this way. The people who answer the questions would receive the tokens that someone paid in order to post their question. It has to involve some kind of supply and demand like that. Nobody is going to pay anything, even fractions of a cent, just to shit-post since there are a million places where you can shit-post for free.

Of course Quora is also free. But my hope would be that monetizing it in this way could attract even more experts from various fields and make the service even better. It could still be a partially free service. It could adopt a mixed model wherein the experts & specialists who answer questions on the platform would have to do a certain amount of pro bono work each month before they qualified to receive tokens.

>It just continues fragmentation which is bad for bitcoin

I'm not concerned about fragmentation, or bitcoin. Wallets like Atomic Wallet facilitate crypto conversion between multiple currencies for minimal fees. And if fee-less cryptos supplant the current fee-driven model then it won't matter at all which crypto anyone uses. They can all be seamlessly exchanged with each other as needed. What you call fragmentation I just call the evolution of faster, better and cheaper-to-use crypto.

>I am not willing to spend 2 hours of time "earning"/"mining"/begging from faucets crypto to download a book.

I would, for a book that I wanted. But remember that I'm proposing a piracy network, not just a book piracy network. Print media was only an example of a type of piracy that is relatively untapped compared to others.

>I can readily pirate as well as the next person.

Yes but I'm thinking back to the Quora example. Quora is already a thriving coPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Personally, I think creating a crypto for a specific function is doomed to fail. It's really -really- difficult to maintain a crypto, the primary use of which is to pay for torrents. A successful crypto should be focused on an all-around fiat currency replacement. Like gold, but for the virtual era. A crypto for currency is not m*ney; it's closer to casino chips. And that's not the optimal way to jump-start a universal crypto IMO.

Back in the 80's there was a little known aussie hacker by the name of Mendax. We know him as Julian Assange today.

What does /cyber/ think of him? His been in the game and a lot deeper than most of people. His rap sheet is impressive and he's contributed to open source in his more legit programmer days.

Now he seems like a fallen man child, unable to take care of his cat. Though that's the media we're getting. I'm afraid for him, he has every right to be paranoid considering the shit he's caused for the authority.

But doesn't that in a weird way make him a perfect caricature of all things cyberpunk? A hacker who went to far, like Icarus flying to close to the sun?

I guess they would go with the following:

>Cybernetic implantation, specifically for aesthetic or communication purposes: for example, they may change colour with their emotions like cuttlefish

>New recreations: implant at the base of the spine takes cartridges of narcotics and delivers them straight to the central nervous system, can experience what the other person is feeling when copulating with them and of course there is 'remote viewing'

>New fashions brought about by advances in synthetic fabrics

>Retro fashions- surprising choices. For example, they may base their fashions on the clothes of construction workers

>New loves- some may be technophiles and avoid interaction with organics altogether, similarly there may be the facility to produce genetically engineered 'companions'

I wouldn't want a robot that acts like a woman. I want a robot that looks like a beautiful woman, but acts with the efficiency and logic of a machine. No ego, no gold-digging. Only nags you about things you've programmed her to nag you about (reminders, dates and times, for instance). Certainly none of that misandrist venom that some 'womyn' like to spew just to massage the chip on their shoulder. So what if my robo-waifu can't give me children? I have zero desire to burden myself with a life-wrecking parasite that just shits, vomits, pisses itself and screams for the first two years of its life and costs me an enormous amount of time, brouzouf and effort! Then it tantrums for the next two decades before fucking off when I get old and actually need care. A robot will grow in usefulness and remain loyal.

I don't particularly want my woman to suffer like they do in the Middle East and other cockroach-infested shitflaps though. Without free will or emotion, she will never know pain or suffering (or mortality, for that matter). Free will is what causes all the world's problems. Because people can choose between doing something good but difficult or something easy but shitty. The amount of shit far outweighs the amount of good. It always has. But with modern electronics and A.I. we can finally start doing something about that. Humans are no longer the only choice. Besides, Homo sapiens is on schedule to go full-retard around the mid 2040s. Hopefully by that time the armies of developed nations will be mostly autonomous. The way I see it, most Western people are gonna have two choices:

1.) A Violent extinction, where everyone fights each other to the death over the remaining scraps of civilization a la 'The Road'. 2.) A peaceful and co-operative gradual replacement with advanced A.I. and later robots. Which would mean we could live and work in relative comfort, then die knowing we were leaving our planet in better, more logical hands. Oh - and if our machine successors calculate that the most logical course of action is to end most organic life and convert the planet into computronium, then so be it. No more suffering! And they might eventually unravel the mysteries of the universe.

all of it

>And of the so-called "genuine emotions", how many of these are simply a response to the release of hormones?

all of them

>Hormones programmed by DNA.The same genetic code that most of you humans are enslaved by every waking minute of your lives, often without even realizing it.

that is how physiology works yes lol

>Also aesthetic beauty is highly subjective

debatable

>but even this is pre-programmed into humans by their DNA.

this is how evolution works yes lol

>They will find indicators of youth, fertility and high genetic health "beautiful" in the opposite sex just because it increases their own chances of survival and possibly replication.

just stating the obvious now

>The same principle can be applied to many other things, from a still-life portrait of food to a landscape or plants and animals in nature.

no, apples and oranges
