>Vance just wanted to make the most out of his college experience under a totalitarian regime, and if that meant hacking into the university to assign himself a hot female roommate, then so be it.

The thing that he was about to do was to open a diary. This was not illegal (nothing was illegal, since there were no longer any laws), but if detected it was reasonably certain that it would be punished by death, or at least by twenty-five years in a forced-labour camp. Winston fitted a nib into the penholder and sucked it to get the grease off. The pen was an archaic instrument, seldom used even for signatures, and he had procured one, furtively and with some difficulty, simply because of a feeling that the beautiful creamy paper deserved to be written on with a real nib instead of being scratched with an ink-pencil. Actually he was not used to writing by hand. Apart from very short notes, it was usual to dictate everything into the speakwrite which was of course impossible for his present purpose. He dipped the pen into the ink and then faltered for just a second. A tremor had gone through his bowels. To mark the paper was the decisive act. In small clumsy letters he wrote:

I'll take a wild guess: people bound by mutual compromise. They do business together and cannot attack each other due to compromising materials they have on each other, also they usually have a dead man's hand kind of mechanism in case something happens to them.

QOL in china is has a disjointed relationship to proximity to wealth; the close you are to the city, the more you have, the less freedom you have
someone living in a remote mountain village who isn't even aware of the existence of electricity might actually have their own thoughts and mind and words
someone living in chongching city is expected to keep their fucking mouth shut, might get locked in their apartment building to burn alive, and if they have any sort of online presence it is to be used for the glory of china

The power structure will be similar, but the aesthetics will be cleaner, the lighting will ruined by the sun half the time, and most denizens will be norms instead of punks.
There will also be more mass surveillance than even the most cynical cyberpunk writers could have ever imagined.

At the very least there will be more light but LED rather than neon. And as long as we are in a Cyberpunk world things will grow increasingly worse until the collapse. Complexity is already out of control and LLM hallucinations make it even worse.

I think a modern cyberpunk work should also have cleaner and more sterile environments, like they were playgrounds made for kids given that the elites see people as such.
>>
>>108557244
There is an elite living the high life and there is the rest. That is the primary outcome of the Iron Law of the Oligarchy. The majority lives in dystopia while the elite is closer to the Solarpunk world, except from a decadent lifestyle that would have impressed even the elite of the Roman Empire. Orgies with sex and alcohol has long been the norm but now the cocaine is taking its toll. It may be cleaner but only because they hire cheap cleaners. It may be sterile because it has degenerated. It is just a different Kali Yuga.
>>
>>
>>108558686
>Yes but what does the oligarch lifestyle look like?
Like that if Epstein. It is interesting to see how far and wide his tentacles spread.
>And what awaits the masses 10 years down the line?
Even more of what we have, more surveillance, probably a bit mor war, probably Europe splitting into an intellectual part going down hard and a hard right going their own way. And it will continue until something breaks big time.

There seems to be some strange and universal principle at work, where things that are true and well made also displays simplicity, elegance and often symmetry.

CRISPR/Cas9 is now 15 years old - and the patents war is raging. This also means the technology is maturing so we should be closer to industrializing the use on humans, and not just in China. About 1/3 of the national budget in many Western countries goes to health care, perhaps half of that could be slashed if we eliminated health problems related to genetics. Secretly, some will augment their children for good looks. Already today, women in some South American countries look for sperm donors from Nordic countries. The tall, blond, blue eyed handsome Nordic style is not going out of fashion yet.
Next, and even more secretly, the elite will augment their children for intelligence. Nordic countries enjoy pretty good life expectancies and good scores on per capita Nobel Prize laureates. This will be a huge political mess.
Next in surgery will probably be the fast moving brain computer interface (BCI) insertion. And with some gene editing, appendicitis will no longer be done, simply because humans will no longer have an appendix. Cataract operations are also very common and might also be eliminated.

If the AI was as complex as they're fibbing that it is, you would be correct. Or at the very least it would have the means to detect that it was an SEO page if it was as clever as they're claiming it is.

Avoidable illnesses are a drag on the economy so they will start with that. Next will be the question of mental illnesses, also very costly. High IQ is a harder genetic question but I think (no pun) that the cost of stupidity is far greater than the risk of losing power. Europe is already sliding into a client status where nothing is made and everything is baought from places people don't know and don't care about.
Just the other day, a few of the leading intellectual lights around here grunted out an article where they saw the Hormuz blocade as an excellent opportunity to close down European oil and gas production. You just cannot make it up. And the major increase in cost of fertilizers and the massive boost in Russian economy, where such matter is never considered, just didn't occur to our elite. No doubt, in the question of cost of weapons to defend us vs. the value of freedon, they will decide that the most cost effective solution is a Russian language course.

contrary to popular scifi tropes megacities are a nightmare for authoritarians. the cia released a paper back in 1994 about it. their fear is that regional gangs would gain more local power than a centralized government. they looked at kowloon, cairo, etc. as case studies. on top of that the cost of providing for a citizen in a city is much higher than in a semi-rural area. the post industrial economy is very different than the early industrial economies that saw the growth of metros. the most likely future is one where people are spread geographically thin and kept socially isolated with useless and extremely proprietary entertainment tech. suburbs will continue to become more sparse, lawns will grow wider, and subscription services will continue to multiply. the future is ignorant loners with vr porn addictions living in rural shacks.

>the cost of providing for a citizen in a city is much higher than in a semi-rural area
Doesn't check out. In the eyes of authoritarians, the cost-benefit ratio of a citizen is their economic output minus the cost of their upkeep. The closer you pack them, the less infrastructure you have to build to sustain them, and the cheaper it becomes to move them between their labor camps and their dwellings.
The cost of living is only higher in cities under an unregulated market system because the promise of more job opportunities drives up prices. An authoritarian government could simply nationalize housing and infrastructure, standardize prices for subsistence goods and services to subsidize labor, ban privately owned companies, and buy the majority of shares in whatever "publicly" traded companies remain.
>the most likely future is one where people are spread geographically thin
So why is the opposite happening?

Worse, most of the last few years are key people dying.
Looking closer I think there are several thngs missing, such as cybernetics, mody modicications, and brain computer interfacing (BCI). I always wondered if Mush invested in BCI so that he could feed the LLM with known good human originated input.

stacking people on top of each other is way more expensive than tossing them in shacks. it was only preferable when communication and transportation tech was still primitive. the infrastructure of a city is vastly more expensive than a two lane blacktop highway and some wooden power poles. most rural areas still have septic tanks and well water which the homeowner pays for.
>so why is...?
the u.s. government backs zero down 1.5% fixed rate mortgages for anybody moving into a community with less than 20k pop. there is no such program to encourage anyone to move into cities.

Only if you think of infrastructure in a narrow sense as buildings and roads. To efficiently sustain an economically productive population, you need much more, like supermarkets, schools, hospitals, transportation to and from work, daycare facilities, leisure to keep the drones from questioning their pointless existence, etc. All of that gets cheaper at shorter distances, and so does electricity and plumbing, which entices the drones because it least it improves their quality of life.
>most rural areas still have septic tanks and well water which the homeowner pays for.
Which is why the future is urban. Nobody likes to drink from where they shit.
>the u.s. government backs zero down 1.5% fixed rate mortgages for anybody moving into a community with less than 20k pop.
The fact that the government has to subsidize deurbanization speaks volumes. So does the fact that it's not working.

i found it. i couldn't find the version with the pictures intact. it was also from 1984 not 94.

>surely it was real
what a reddit thing to say.
>that doesn't explain...
yeah, because the author of the paper titled "the case against megacities" is single-handedly funding them all. go back.

I had a look. It is strange that megacities have not been reviewed more, considering past events. Babylon was eventually razed but as the periphery was on fire, the city centre was busy with drunken parties. By the time the leaders understood what was going on, it was way too late. Decadence is by no means new. Also Rome was razed, multiple times, and at its peak the population was about 1 million. The last time it fell, people just left and started working on the land.
As for tiday, WWIII is expected to open with all over nuclear fire. Megacities are then a practical way to decapitate a country and kill as many as possible in as short amount of time as possible. Most European capitals are just 3 MT in size. That leaves urban warfare completed in a few seconds.

The idea is that you spend a year inside a tube flooded by swirling colourful liquids, mind connected to the net and the body toned by electrostimulation. After a year you have the body of a Greek god and a PhD.

A counter-hacking trick: a friend of mine had to travel to France for meetings and used his card to pay, the type where you use a 4 digit PIN code. The next two weeks there would be all sorts of fraud attempts on his bank account. So he switched tactics: he first typed the wrong code. If the debit machine "accepted" the transaction, he knew it was a skimmer, and he affectively didn't pay for the drinks. And there were no massive fraud attempts on his bank accounts. Of course, if he got an error, it was online and it was more likely a honest operator.

>SPECTRAL-GSM: A Web-Based GSM Interception Platform Built on OsmocomBB
https://www.rtl-sdr.com/spectral-gsm-a-web-based-gsm-interception-plat form-built-on-osmocombb/
>OsmocomBB is an open-source project that replaces the stock baseband firmware on old Motorola phones (C118, C139, etc.) that use the Texas Instruments Calypso chipset. By flashing custom "layer23" firmware over serial, these cheap legacy handsets become capable of accessing raw GSM radio data at the baseband level, enabling cell scanning, burst capture, and passive subscriber identity harvesting.
>SPECTRAL-GSM builds on this by wrapping OsmocomBB into a full GSM intelligence suite controlled from a single browser tab. The system supports up to five phones simultaneously and provides a structured pipeline: scan local GSM cells, capture raw bursts on a target channel, crack the A5/1 encryption using rainbow tables on a 2 TB SSD, and then use the recovered session key for real-time voice and SMS decryption. Additional modules handle passive IMSI catching, targeted single-IMSI surveillance, silent SMS location probing via a USB modem, and OpenCellID cell tower mapping.

funnily enough, the four casts I see where doing by men, including Chad of all people. I though this was for crystal women
