ITT: Post reasons why we are already living in a cyberpunk world.
I often see users complaining that the world isn't /cyber/ enough, but people are already doing all the cool things your read and watch and consume. Just you're sitting inside browsing /cyber/ instead of being /cyber/.
Webms, GIFs, videos etc appreciated.
I'll start:
•Riot police/swat
•Megacorporations (Namely Google)
•For-profit healthcare and prisons
•Overpopulation
•Drones (agricultural drones especially)
•Drone-jammers
•Google assistant/Amazon Alexa (& Google home, Amazon echo)
•Great disparities in wealth
•Boston dynamics, etc robots
•Lack of free speech
•Nuclear bombs
•High depression rates
•Targeted advertising
•Instant access to porn, entertainment online (dopamine releasing content)
•Consumer society
•Pollution & global warming

They programmed you to thinking race has its different structure.
It doesn’t every race is thinking the same

Trannies themselves aren't, but the idea of a society that pushes the idea that no one really has a gender and everyone is just a faceless blank slate that can be repurposed into whatever they want to be is pretty cyberpunk. Back in the 80s-90s, trannies might have been seen as cyberpunk only because it sex changing wasn't socially accepted, so they were basically nonconformists. Now you can't throw a brick in the west without hitting one, and society is trying to make you a tranny, down to teaching kids they have no gender in school.

Amazing how the rulers and their political staff rule their lands.
The people that are lower then these rulers act as if their rulers in forcing religions laws as if the were police.
If you do not work and fit in the society of the ruler of your land you will die.
Global police state:
All citizens in force the law of religions and of the land.
All citizens it is your duty to work.
All citizens you will have a structured fashion of clothing you wear, to identify you from the underground, non conformity and outcasts.
All citizens report any suspicious persons.
Failure to obey will be punished by seizure of personal belongings and jail.

Global religion
Citizens you can worship anyone, anything and anytime as long as you have these rule in your religion.
You God has made you as the highest on earth
Your duty to command others
Your duty is to be high next to your God.
You have to present your self a perfect as your God, in you Gods way.
You need to be structured everything done the exact same way.
Voice your God ways towards others for you are directly next to God as his personal guard.
Except no other structure keep others in line of the structure.
You will receive internal life.
You will feel better by others lower because you stand next to God as a guard.
Make the lowers know your presents feel Gods power in you as you see there misfortunes because they don’t stand directly next to God.
All citizens of the world you are to have these beliefs in your religion.
Now compete to stand directly next to God.

It's sure as hell real in America where small towns are either dying out or gentrifying to survive, I'd wager it's a problem in western Europe as well and eastern Europe is lower middle-class at best but it's not like they had a middle class anyway if we're talking about income.

I think the problem is that the world is cyberpunk as people wanted
VR is real sure but its very limited, and basically rule by 2 or 3 megacorps. Theres no VR internet, only chat apps and some that render sites in VR environment
The tech is just not as impressive: no man-machine interfaces, no cyborg implants, no flying cars, no hypersonic planes, no oneill cylinders in orbit. We havent even gone to mars yet, and we probably wont for yet another 20 or 30 years (they said it was going to be in 2020 back in 2000)
Computers have literally devolved into single-use disposable physical spyware you can barely modify without rendering it useless. All this shit doesnt do anything to prevent crime, theft or scams, its about controlling you.
You could be 100% legit anon on the internet before, now its basically impossible.
I guess the problem is that cyberpunk showed a fucked up but still exciting world with tons of cool stuff and while things were bad there was a chance for rebellion while now we're seeing govs even in the west putting together anti-civilian surveillance networks that make the soviets look like libertarians, but more importantly these networks are becoming inescapable. In cyberpunk people can stick it to the megacorps and govs, in our reality pretty soon rebellion will be practically impossible: if you don't get shot down (metaphorically and/or literally) your rebellion will be destroyed from the inside-out because all comm lines are compromised by design and you have huge AIs doing pattern matching 24/7 to protect the status quo from having to respect your rights.
Its all so tiresome.

Yeah, in my opinion cyberpunk is often about how the emerging tech, while providing megacorps and governments with extensive surveillance tools, also puts immense power in the hands of ordinary people, forming a pretty chaotic society.

Thank you for either your creativity or attention as it gives me hope that this board will once go beyond its current self.

rebellion in its common definition will become impossible. At very minimum, you'd need to know how to encrypt/decrypt to secure messages (unless that Pattern-Seeking AI searches for any encryption? Create Exception for businesses?) As the tech that prys into our lives advances, we hope that its ability to counter it should increase.
And a hope that if such an Techno-Overlord gets created, someone, somehow, releases how it works.
Lain watching over me?
And yes, the lines of comm lines are not as discreet as they used to be, and your only real hope of 'anon' is to make it more trouble than it worth.

/k/ has been spammed into oblivion for a few days with no backlash from the BO and now 80% of current threads are a mix of /int/ and /pol/. It happened before but these were shat on and ridiculed and they went down quite quickly due to bumps of quality threads and few of aforementioned ones but now it seems the only thread that gets some actual attention is QTDDTOT. I'm doing my research and occasionally bump SMG thread with posts but there's been little interest in that. Other old threads also suffer from lack of activity more. Maybe its not dead yet but this case, even if resolved, does show that something's going wrong with the board or BO.
