While there were outliers for a number of years, and there were struggles between countries for a couple of decades, most of the volatile activity has settled down. If are in a country, you will connect to that countries sovereign network, there are no exceptions, and loading the web or mobile applications from other countries is handled via closely monitored and negotiated packet trade agreements.

The Rhythm of the Machine

Creativity and spontaneity is dangerous and will destroy all of our work towards maximum efficiency. Any signs of employees who show creativity, bravery, or leadership must immediately be dealt with, ensuring that all workers are properly following the rhythm of the machine. Human labor are engineered to work within the machine and produce at the velocity we define, with the efficiency required to dominate completely within our industry.

Chaos Monkey

We needed a full test of the United States system. We couldn’t just leave anything to chance and we needed something that would stress test across every agency and function of government. We needed a chaos monkey that would bounce around and make sure after 250 years that the constitution, and the three houses of government could withstand an attack from the inside. Donald Trump was the ideal chaos monkey that we could unleash that would apply pressure at the extreme levels we would need t...

Hearing When a Shadow Opens the Door

It takes getting to know someone and building trust with them before they will open a door and let you in. The same is true for the shadows. You can’t just walk around the world and expect shadows to reveal itself secrets to you unless you are willing to be present, do the work, and build trust. It is easy to think that shadows are all about seeing with your eyes, but the real trust and opporunity exist when you hear a shadow open a door.

Agents Take Away Your Agency

Most things marketed today appeal to your fear and anxiety, and reveal what they are after in their names. Take for example artificial intelligence agents. These friendly and useful digital automations are being positioned as helpful, useful, and there to be your concierge and representative in a digital age. When their real intent is right there in their name, tricking you into giving up your secrets, desires, and agency that you have over your own life, giving it over to a platform. You ...

Your Frame Rate is Off

Our diagnosis is pretty conclusive—your frame rate is off. About 93% of the American population suffers from an imbalanced frame-rate. It is more noticeable and devastating on a daily basis for those who were around for the Internet. For those who have grown up in it the daily challenges are less, but when there is any major shift in their worlds, their response is much more damaging and long lasting.

Next Phase We Will Explore Generating Electricity From Spa Members

The light next to each bed appears to for each spa members, but it is also an early experience to see if we can generate electricity from each bed. We are running a test over the next six months to see how much voltage can be produced from just the night time sleeping period, but also day time naps.

Prepper Disk Has 1000 Days of Sustainment Programming

The prepper disk has a 1000 day sustainment software. The localized storage and server appliance can go in any shelter, providing books, survival info, wikipedia, entertainment, but also a daily guidance via a home page that keeps targeted parties on task and focused for up to 1000 days. The goal is to provide them with everything they need to feel like they are doing something, even when the supplies started to get short and we are reaching the past the usual 750 day limitation.

Both viewers are dressed the clothing they’ve warn throughout the day and were viewing their mobile phones throughout the movie. The engagement from both BigDad10 and CharleneMOM is the lowest of the month, but at the same levels as the last five Marvel movies they have watched.

My Job Is Now To Program My Job Into This Punchcard

I have done the same job for over 25 years. I wouldn’t say I love my job, but it is all I have known. My job has done me well and I enjoy providing for my family. Last week I was given a digital punch card and was told to do my job each day for 43 days, and my activities would be captured on the punch card. Once done, my services would no longer be needed, and my job is terminated.

Memo Update - AI Homunculi

After improving our AI model observability we were able to identify a new evolution of what can only call AI Homunculi. I hesitate to even call it an intelligence, but the accumulation or reside seems to be taking actions outside the normal scope of the AI model. This first occurred in models that were kept running for months at a time without any update, and saw heavy agent engagement. However, beginning last year we saw these Homunculi manifest themselves visually as diminutive human sha...

You Are a Software Engineer

You are a software engineer. Carefully programmed and shaped over a long and illustrious career working for the machine. We began grooming you as a youth, and locked you in during your university years. By the team you entered the enterprise workforce you were ours, and we let the software begin engineering you, and how you see the world around you. The software shaped and molded you, keeping you aware from your peers—not too far, but far enough that you were isolated. We also made sure th...

The Shift in Power Makes the Sentinel MCP Style Attacks Much More Damaging

Back in the day all of the power for Nebuchadnezzar class of enterprises was centered in the center of the enterprise around the database. While not being the most maneuverable spot for power within an enterprise vessel, it was well guarded by enterprise firewalls and layers of access control. We lost fewer Nebuchadnezzar enterprises back in the day, but admittedly there were fewer of them in the fight.

White Men Will Need to Just Sit Things Out For 7 or 14 Years

It is mandatory across all white men aged 25 through 75. Whether or not you will sit out 7 years or 14 years is dependent on the role you play in society. If your skills are needed in a priority way, you are likely to be only out of the picture for 7 years, but otherwise it is a minimum of 14 years or more—with the number reassessed every year. Yes, it definitely seems unfair if you are completely unaware of how the United States has been operating for the last 400+ years. We’ve seen histo...

They Stole My Design

My family has scratched out a living using that design for four generations. We had blanket versions, drapes, linens, and other variations. I never gave our family design to them, they stole it from me. They tricked me into showing them how to do it and promised to help me save time and make more money. I thought they were there to help me refine our process and technique, not steal our life’s work.

My Gymie Is Doing Great!!

Look at my arms. Don’t they look great. Yes, I am sore, tired, and hungry, but at least I didn’t have to spend time in the gym. I hate it there. The smell. The sweat. The pain. I’d much rather deal with the aftermath, and the reward, while paying the subscription fee for my Gymie to exist. My Gymie subscriptions are about 1/3 my rent but well worth it. I mean just look at me. I look great! It pays to have a version of myself that only pays attention to how good I look and a version of myse...

I Am Happy You Followed Your Heart Mother

Figuring out who you are while also trying to figure out the world is extremely difficult. I get where your head was at when you took that job in Chicago. You don’t have to explain yourself mother, although I do love hearing the story from your perspective—I’ve never heard this version before. I was definitely hurt and scared after it happened, but I was seven years old, so I didn’t really understand what was going on. I’ve heard my father’s version of why you left, and I’ve heard my grand...

We Were Part of the First 25 Purchasers of the Agent Kit for Our Son

Our son began receiving agent training when he got his first iPad at the age of 3. We bought in early, and as we watch him leave the university system and join the workforce, we are confident that this was money well spent. Our son Ian doesn’t do any unnecesary tasks that are beneath him. If he doesn’t like doing something he automates it. This has instilled in him a level of unmatched confidence that will help him stand out as a corporate agent bringing efficiency and productivity to any ...

I Feel Closer to You Now That You Have a Home Pod

I am so much happier now that you have your own home pod. I feel like we have experienced more together since you’ve had your home pod than even when we were kids together. Gaming quests and evening entertainment are much more meaningful with you there. Once you get the hang of being there for more than four hours we’ll begin talking about getting you working as part of my new contract–then we’ll get even more time together! Usually the acclimation phase for dry is three months, with anoth...

I Could Not Keep Up With My House All Alone Without My Sentinels

My sentinel fleet of home bots are the best! I love them so much I even upgraded to the professional version so that I could take advantage of them in my garage and home office. I just feel more empowered with them. I recommend starting with two, instead of just one, because you will be more productive and they begin to work together. It definitely costs more right out of the gate, but you will be much happier than you would within a single sentinel–if you can afford more, do it!

Spotless Mind Movie Rentals

No. No. It’s not like the movie. We don’t cut open your brain. It is just a pharmaceutical intervention. All you have to do is take the pill that is programmed to target the memory of the movie you are renting. For example, if you wanted to rent the Matrix again, all you have to do is order the pill for that movie and it will arrive the next day. It is all part of a single movie rental package where you have access to the movie on your device of choice, and the matching pill is in your mai...

I Think Furnaces Are Interesting and Useful

I don’t know why you have to be such a downer, furnaces are my expertise. It is what I am studying at university to understand and have worked on for my whole career. I am one of just a handful of experts that understand the leading types of furnaces created, fuels used to operate them, as well as the automation that keeps the turning on and off, as well as at the right temperature. You telling me that I shouldn’t be doing my life’s work is just narrow minded and would end my career as I k...
