I think there is a serious conversation to be had about cyber capabilities and their employment. It's an obvious force multiplier that allows countries like Russia or DPRNK or Iran to punch above their weight respective to GDP. And these are toys compared to the PLA program. Credible sources like breutbart aside I think we are all going to be dealing with this issue in a big way over the next few years.

I'm not any kind of expert but I have heard/read multiple reports that Cyber terrorism will be the next huge problem most 1st world nations will face.

My bias and the sites I like that display their narrative is different, because it agrees with my bias aside. What exactly are we talking about here? Are we discussing a robot taking over the world narrative? If we're having a serious discussion about this, we should probably start from somewhere concrete, no?

Various articles discussing all sides of this...

Posting those things, may be useful for ones curious to read and learn themselves. ^-^ I myself posted links above discussing cyber terrorism, with seemingly less fearful opinions.

(And before the inevitable c*nt cries to me about having about my own opinions. Which is separated from the replies mind you...)

It's clear that current AI is vastly underwhelming and is nowhere near the level of a human's abilities and the current market trying to add automation into low paying jobs, like kiosks for fast food and auto-check out lanes in grocery stores. Their slow as sh*t and they don't work as intended half the time. And they also don't remove jobs, they merely swap the demand for certain jobs. Someone still needs to maintain, set them up, etc etc. I think this is a "running out of real world problems, because of how much we've advanced and improved the world" discussion.

@mdk Lol you're such a hypocrite, when pugbutter and others have used it you haven't said shit.

And hang on aren't you all about freedom of speech anyway?

Well I don't remember seeing pugbutter (was that the whole 'in the IRC' bullshit that I just glossed over because we were specifically told to not do that?) but this is at least the third time I've brought it up in this thread.

I am all about freedom of speech. I'm not reporting anyone. I'm saying, let's not.

Was gonna add this via edit, but don't wanna sneak it in under a thumbs-up so it gets a new post.

man, those fuckers do not deserve to bear the orange-black ribbon of St. George. It is a holy ribbon that men sacrificed their lives for, that stood their ground for faith and nation. To see these soy drenched cuckolds bearing it makes me pretty pissed off, the real heroes who were awarded it would snap their faggoty spines in a second.

*Tosses this in the thread and awaits denial*

Ouroboros should really consult these guys on the subject of eating themselves, they're certainly doing a better job than he can if he's still going at it! Whole thing is hilarious.

I'm at the point where talking about the whole Russia thing is moot at this point, because you're either gonna believe that there has been collusion on one side or another or there hasn't been (I think that it's more Hillary and the DNC that had "colluded" with anyone but besides the point). I just want to see the evidence and investigations play out, 'cause shit is gonna get interesting in the next few weeks I reckon

Are we discussing a robot taking over the world narrative?

No, I'm referring to the current cyber warfare programs which nation states operate.

Alright. My mistake. Well...where did you read these problems? Is there a specific instance you're referring to, and do you have anything more to add on the matter?

You mean lefties will finally acknowledge they were wrong?

Know what, we can do without that language either, while I'm on my high horse. This is a writing forum. If someone can't think of a better way to express themselves than n-words and gay slurs, someone's kinda a shite writer.

To reiterate: let's not.

Well yeah pretty much. But I'd rather not hold my breath... I remember what they did when Herman Cain tried to run, and what they're still doing to Assange lel

That horse is pretty high mate, was it as high as when you were flying planes?

Mdk doesn't want to make some people uncomfortable? What is he, some sort of arrogant asshole!?

@POOHEAD189Yeah he's fine with people advocating for ethno-states (cause that wont offend anyone) but god forbid that 60s spiderman says the n-word in a reaction meme.

Boohoo

Close, anyway. You still cheffing?

Well YES, but I don't think the two are necessarily related.

Pretty much. See? I'm not asking very much here. Crazy's fine, wrong's fine. Certain language isn't.

Don't use racial/sexual/other epithets or otherwise discriminatory language or jokes.

@mdk

Its convenient that you can use terms like 'lazy blacks' with degrading intent, but that doesnt technically count as a racial slur.

And yes you did say it, I can pull up quotes because we all know your memory is conveniently spotty when it comes to this stuff.

Do it. And remind me what page it's on, once you quote me.

Nah bro, DD almost two years back

Also, advocating for an ethnostate... Not sure how far to go with that, but ensuring that a nation stays that nation by nature of its demography isn't too crazy an idea if you ask me
