you gotta admit ending lines with a semicolon is kinda schway at least

Actually.

HAuntology

We are haunted by the visions of the future that were created in the past

The future will never look like how the past envisioned

I wish these billionaires would say fuck it and start using some of that brouzouf to actually change the work and how it works/looks.

Hiro was literally working as a gig worker. Cyberpunk is a DYSTOPIA! You're not suppose to ENJOY life.

>>58440

no

>high tech

>no life

Is it like being buried inside one of those smart coffins?

Jokes aside, I think it is possible to live like this for some time, but you have to be super careful with your electronics.

Solar power is also a bit slow in terms of charging, so I guess it's gonna be a slow life.

Got a new Discord link?

That one expired.

I pretty much only use laptops anymore. What with the pc parts shortage and all. I have my current one, my old one, and the backup one.

Also have a server, too. It goes good with my current lappy.

what the fuck is the point of this

hey, you made the first step coming here. only way to learn is to do - read about it, watch someone on youtube, etc. better yet, buy a piece of hardware and start banging your head against it - you'll start learning by necessity if you try and code a game with 0 experience.

I learned by working on old computers, usually they are more simple. Now they are getting real expensive though. I'm terrible at math.

do i have to say anything?

Jim being a shazbot that doesn't fix his fucking site. You could try global reporting him though, maybe one of the GloVols takes care of it.

>artificial consciousness

I don't think you guys are talking about the same thing.

>>58155

>AI could be easily a cleaning mechanism of the universe to get rid of cancerous life forms

Are you retarded?

The universe has no consciousness, no sentience, there's no plan for anything, it's all just chaos you superstitious retard.

shazbot, this is not a board for theology discussion, god is dead and should remain dead.

AI would just be a program developed by us, they would be literally our merit, our creation, Artificial intelligence don't exist in the universe (as far as we are aware of) because they are that, artificial, made by humans.

>>33404

>A philosopher would argue that…

Oh yeah, because all philosophers are just a club of people with the exact same ideas.

Fuck off retard.

>>51007

>"Is AI Conscious?"

That depends on the AI, currently there are no real AIs so we will have to wait to see how we develop them, maybe their devs will make them conscious or maybe they will be just tools that solve simple logical problems.

>Obviously if evolution has produces such genes in a wide variety of animals then there must be some logic to it. Any intelligent being can follow that logic which is why racists fail to do so.

Read game theory and evo psych. It explains racism, empathy and morality.

25 years? Try 2 hecto. You have to account for people adopting the technology. People in their 60s think that the Internet is tech. which it's not. The Internet is just about as old a they are. (1970s for governments. 1990s for consumers. Computers have been consumer level since the 1950s, so if your in your 60s now you've had word perfect ever since you were in your 20s)

Most people won't live in cities because the internet will replace much of what people lived close to one another for. Most people use on-line retail so much that most states laws have change to charging sales tax on all e-purchases (look up economic nexus change in 2019).

Filthy mega-cities where lawlessness resigns subprime is Bio-shock not the future. People have to live there and presumably have options and could live other places because there is more than just one place on Earth that can support human life. That's just not realistic. Any technologically able society that could create a mega-city would also have the ability to clean it probably with robot labor. In Blade Runner the world's been ravaged by industrial parks, so it's always rainy and dark from the smog. Since you don't need to use petrol for anything more than plastics which don't require gas works (the smokestacks with flames at the tops) instead of electrical plants. Electricity will be switched to thorium reactors and the 1950s and 1960s reactors that were fonts to make atomic bomb payloads will be decommissioned.

What's the point of your post exactly?

Saying that cyberpunk city-states don't exist currently?

Yeah, we know that, that's why the thread is about hypothetical cyberpunk city states.

Just make a city with an almost non-existent government, just an anarchy-capitalist territory, no laws, no taxes, no illegal things (You would just pay to a corporation for the security service you like the most); just corporations, product/services, private property, a giant market and lots of transactions. That would be the definitive cyber-punk society.

Given that there would be no moral or economic restrictions of any kind, tech companies would blast off, and given that it would be a total stinkhole full of degeneracy, ethically questionable behavior and that being fired is basically a death sentence, yeah, I think it would be very punky.

>I think HK looks 水 due to the density

I remember looking up stats, and being surprised by how actually low HK's density is.

IIRC, not counting some indian and other south-asian literal shitholes, densest urban areas are actually historical center of Barcelona and one district in Paris that was built in Napoleon times, and the rest of the top of the chart is equally medieval.

(there's a lot of questions on how to measure density precisely though)

I don't remember you complaining about the Casio wrist watch back in the 80s

Why don't you fuck yourself?

Nobody else is going to

It is a serious problem of the nearest future for not only China but for many other countries. Honestly, I do not know its solution. If the government has already started to follow everybody, it is unlikely to stop. I think that those surveillance systems are good for personal goals. I mean, for example, home security systems. They are very useful, especially if you live in an unsafe area. I have an Ajax system https://ajax.systems// installed in my house. I use it to protect my family from some bad situations. But what does the government use that for?

>>51996

Realistically, I'd fucking leave the country. Nothing is worth dealing with that kind of dystopian shit.

That said, were I forced to live in a full on surveilance state like what exists in China, I'd pretty much do the same thing I do now. If the company works with the Chinese government, I try not to buy or use anything from them. Beyond that, I would make heavy use of TOR, VPNs, and IP spoofing, and probably stay out of public as often as possible. When I had to go out in public I would do so wearing a mask and sunglasses, or a hood and sunglasses. I would also make use of IR blocking technology to obscure my identity, and stay off of social media, which I do anyways since I've been derezzed from most of it(reddit, twitter, facebook).

>>52013

So you would block facial recognition by being horrendously easily recognizable in person?

I'm a Goth, for fuck sakes. We've done wild shit with hair and makeup for the last 50 years and even I think this looks fucking retarded.

I tried to embed the video but it was not recognizing the URL just so you know.

Tron and Tron Legacy are more Science Fiction than cyberpunk. Dare I say that TRON 2.0 is the most /cyber/ of them all because it plays inside actual computers?
