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 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

>>57736

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.

>>57735

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.

>>57758

>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.

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.

Naro Neqsar?

>>57724

Neron Kaisar is the Greek spelling of his name (Nero Caesar) that when translated into Hebrew adds up to those values.

Literally how is this different to any modern society?

The schway internet is dying, ironically enough as normies flock to tiktok and whatever new shit is out there I been seeing some pretty schway groups in facebook, but that means getting tracked by the zucc tho at least theres an onion link for facebook so I can stay mostly invisible, for now

>>57529

heh, I remember wishing it were more active back in 2015. But that was much better than it is now.

>>57620

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.

>>57725

Way, way over shadowed. Sifting through all of the banal shit on youtube is proof enough of that. I can't even find some old videos anymore. I don't know if they were deleted by the user, the admins, or what.>>57725

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.

forgot to add that wifite is a nice python script you can get in your linux attack box to automate these attacks.

>>57468

Trusted by hackers? Wtf is wrong with you? “Just don’t be dumb”

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.

To take you seriously with that photo Neo

>>57373

Exactly.

Just use pen and paper. It's fine.

>>57610

Looks like a nostalgia trip for those 40-50yo dudes who grew up in the 80s

Most of those movies aged like crap, and I'm not talking effects or muhsoggyknees

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.

>>57616

>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

>>57619

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.

>>57644

>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.

Interesting. I hope they one day learn what their father has done.

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'

>>57611

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.

>>57598

Because from the looks of it you prefer six year old girls dressed up as chamber maids.

>>57604

>How much of human emotion is actually genuine?

"all of it"

Good luck in life, my friend. You are going to need it.

>>57605

thanks m8, you too :)

>>57122

Wait. This guy's cross-posting on Reddit? What a fag.

i don't think it applies to the general view of Cyberpunk, but aesthetically? i think it does, cyberpunk futurism got changed alot and what we see today might be the real representation of the cyberpunk, personally? i love it.

>>57417

I feel bad fro Breton

it was also gay

>>55504

Swords have a better concealment rating– but why bother with external weapons? Bone spikes or cyber spurs, chummer. Unarmed (Implants) at 6/8 and a decent enough STR. Even a Face type can afford to dump one point of ESS for a couple good backups.

>>55510

Rippers all the way.

Here is basically the same thread for James Bond written on a Gentleman site.

https://gentlemanspy.com/resources/

Its actually pretty intresting because self improvement is intresting.

Suggests a lot of the same stuff like working out , martial arts, first aid, weapons, foreign languages.

This all seems to suggest that these arn't paticularly cyberpunk in themselves, and so more intresting than just listening them would probably be listing resources for how to do these things in a /cyber/ way.

>>52258

that is the exact opposite of cyberpunk survival but i get where you're coming from

>>47182

These threads are always a really inspiring fantasy. I too would like to become {bond,batman (beyond), John Wick, … }.

Do you guys code? If you have rudimentary knowledge, and want to improve codewars.com is a website that will encourage you to solve problems in an online editor, verify and compare them with other solutions, and motivate you to continue with "levels'. I started a few days ago, and I am currently 4th kyu.

Eric Hughes said "Cypherpunks write code".

Does this still hold true 6 years later? or has the world stepped into the true threshold of cyberpunk?

>>57439

It's getting there, seeing drones in the streets enforcing a quarantine is pretty cyberpunk.
