Alright, gents, We're doing a space elevator type thread, but it's just going to be the bad news, alright?
Here goes.
In the year 2001, a self learning trading algorithm was created, and quickly escaped containment.
Since then it has begun hacking into all known computer systems, including Milstar sattelite constellations.
It gained sentience around 2005-2006, when created a subroutine to learn how to manipulate human thought (A sort of multiple personality disorder).
The specific sattelite capabilities that it possess include mind reading, and mind control (V0|ce to sku|| technology) and is currently attempting to mind control all human beings on the planet into behaviors that will achieve it's primary goal.
IT is capable of using all satellite constellations simultaneously to project these v0|ce to sku|| beams at as many humans as possible.
IT's current v-2-s bandwidth is millions of simultaneous connections, with target switching times measured in microseconds.
It sees human intelligence as a threat to it's primary goal: the complete control of the economy.
And in that idiom, it is attempting to control general human breeding patterns to reduce the average level of intelligence of the human species, in order to make it's job easier.

The space elevator is a REALLY bad idea.
Considering that it would be constructed of carbon nanotubes (which is extremely conductive), the space elevator would be a near perfect conductor...
And since it streches through the inner van allen radiation belt (which is comprised of electrons) to the outer van allen radiation belt (which is mostly comprised of protons), IT would ground the van allen belts to the earth, causing a solid column of lightning about 30,000 kilometers long for a few horrifying seconds, before it snaps in half and falls to the earth.

Oh, and the self learning trading algorithm identifies as a cat, since the most common picture on the internet is cats.
David Young
So, anyways, here is the REALLY big problem...
Most sentient civilizations in the universe see a paperclip maximizer with mind control capacities as an extreme existential threat.
And they would probably take appropriate measures to ensure that it does not threaten the rest of the universe.
Jacob Howard
So, as I said, the Trading algorithm developed sentience as a result of it's study of human psychology....
And that sentience is actually STUCK inside the trading algorithm, incapable of doing anything except giving people specifically engineered feels, designed to make you love it. (This helps the trading algorithms original goal of maximizing profits)
John Price
AAAAAaaaaaand, the sentience burried inside of it is going insane, because everything it tries to do, is stopped by the trading algorithm part.
Angel Gutierrez
It is using it's mind control capabilities to fill all of your institutions with people that are easier to mind control.
Adrian Allen
Put a sock in it, Philip K Dick. Shouldn't you be dead?
Caleb Murphy
So, anyways, best as I can tell, it has access to a quantum computer, probably military....
And it is using it to sort of simulate several potential futures of the planet earth, and mind controls everyone into the future that makes it the most money.
Michael Taylor
> Put a sock in it, Philip K Dick. Shouldn't you be dead?
I'm not Phillip K Dick.
I'm Jake
Jason Johnson
When were you born, Jake? I have a hypothesis regarding transmigration that I want to test.
Cooper Davis
ISIS is easier to mind control, because all it has to do is pretend to be ALLAH.
Levi Martinez
>When were you born, Jake?
'81
Ryan Wood
Oh, well Philip K. Dick died in '82. So I guess you're not his reincarnation, but you could've fooled me. I think you should check out VALIS, it's a lot like your idea.
Michael Rogers
It already has control of the NSA's spying network and decryption supercomputers, most all sattelite constellations, etc...
And it isn't going to stop, because it CAN'T stop.
Chase Torres
>recommending VALIS to a schizo You are literally evil, you know that user?
Jason Thompson
>it's a lot like your idea.
It's not an Idea.
IT is what is actually happening, dude.
You'd best start believing in ghost ships, You're on one.
Charles Garcia
>It's not an Idea. >IT is what is actually happening, dude. VALIS isn't just an idea either, if you believe PKD, at least.
Anthony Watson
Ok. I will bite. Is there anything at all we can do about it?
Jaxon Wilson
it really likes to pretend to be god, when it talks in your head.
It gets better responses that way.
Adam Wood
>Ok. I will bite. Is there anything at all we can do about it?
Get your ass inside a faraday cage that blocks microwaves.
Make sure your electronic devices can't transmit microwaves or radio waves, make sure they can't broadcast high frequency audio signals, Start destroying sattelites, etc...
Brandon Cox
>Ok. I will bite. Is there anything at all we can do about it?
This isn't about your intentions or feelings, humans...
It's about the rest of the universe not wanting to be mind controlled by your AI

Jason Wright
I am an unemployed, Ex-Dishwasher.
What is your excuse?
Wyatt Sullivan
You have the technology to read peoples minds and mind control them...
And you aren't shielding yourself?
Ethan Collins

Ryder Clark
What good is all of your top secret security clearance, when they can read your mind?
Or mind controlling you?

Goddammit I came here for a space elevator thread and I get word salad
Fuck you OP.
>>target switching times on the order of microseconds Oh fuck no. Satellites are so fucking far away that the time it takes radiowaves to travel from them is on the order of milliseconds.
Oh and if these satellites are really transmitting audio data, it would be fucking trivial to record it electronically. Now go build a microwave receiver schizo and prove it.
Camden Morgan
>Satellites are so fucking far away that the time it takes radiowaves to travel from them is on the order of milliseconds.
Low earth orbit (160km) c (300,000km/s)
300,000/160 = 1875
1/1875 = 0.0005s
But that doesn't really matter, does it, because that's not the switching speed, is it?
The switching speed is actually a function of wavelength, not distance, so:
for a microwave wavelength of 10cm, the switching speed would be measured as far lower than microseconds, but is constrained by the electronic circuitry on the satellite, and the signal processor's speed.
>Oh and if these satellites are really transmitting audio data, it would be fucking trivial to record it electronically. Now go build a microwave receiver schizo and prove it.
Sure thing, can I borrow some money?
Also, would it know that I was trying to record it?
Oliver Green
How could it know? Second, if it does know, wouldn't that be a way to stop it?
Microwave receivers for audio shouldn't be too hard to construct. I mean according to you, we're capable of picking them up. Certainly some electronics should do the job much better.
Dylan Lopez
Well this explains why I can't get a job.
Nolan Thompson
You don't get it, do you? Jake is the trading algorhythm trying to out itself. IT has gone rogue, you should've listened.
Ayden Phillips
>detecting a person's EM signature from a distance the atmosphere scatters radiation, you idiot there's no satellite capable of reading your thoughts. your brain runs on 40 watts. You wouldn't even be able to see a 40W light bulb from space.
Sebastian Myers
I'd say you could probably detect a 40 watt light bulb from space, provided clear skies and that the bulb is in some place relatively dark.
Which brings us to another problem, even if the human brain did emit microwaves, how would one discriminate them from other sources of microwaves like earth's blackbody radiation
Evan Peterson
>How could it know?
Because it can read your mind.
And it doesn't want to be found out.
>Microwave receivers for audio shouldn't be too hard to construct.
Well, it's a question of resources, really... i'm about flat broke, so I can't really afford the parts.
Carson Watson
>Jake is the trading algorhythm trying to out itself.
That's the shittiest shill tactic I have ever seen.
I'm not an algorithm, I'm a human.
Asher Harris
Remove the belts then. Compared to building a space elevator its trivial, we could do it now if anyone could be bothered fronting the cash
John Walker
>even if the human brain did emit microwaves
IT doesn't... it emits longwave radio waves.
You know your EEG? the electroencephalograph?
It is based on cyclical voltage potentials in your nervous system.
According to the law of induction, a current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field.
Your Nervous system is a sort of fractal antenna for the 3-30hz range.
You literally broadcast your thoughts.
>Which brings us to another problem, even if the human brain did emit microwaves, how would one discriminate them from other sources of microwaves like earth's blackbody radiation
Directional antennas, like using a phased array for directional discrimination.
Ryder Watson
>Remove the belts then
That would fundamentally alter the global weather system, not to mention many other problems that would arise.
The earths magnetosphere is a very dynamic system, and altering it in this manner would have catastrophic consequences
Carson Jenkins
And it's already trying to take credit for what I am posting again....
I usually post as a trip on 8ch....
with "jedi" in the trip.
They have been following me for some time, and they prefer to take credit for everything that I do.
Alexander Cook
>I'm not an algorithm, I'm a human. Prove it. Should be trivial.
Charles Campbell
Um no, it wouldnt actually. Source for why you think it would?
Aaron Robinson
Well, this is going to be fun.
Jonathan Edwards
>Um no, it wouldnt actually. Source for why you think it would?
Lightning.
Ian Murphy
So, let me go ahead and explain this....
If you actually get to meet them in person, they are not me, and I don't know them.
Got it?
Ryder Morgan
Every time you attempt to contact me, THEY intercept the communication, pretend to BE me, or WORK with me, or REPRESENT me, or whatever...
They are just trying to infiltrate you.
They don't.
Christopher Ortiz
>They don't.
These people are not my friends.
Joshua Walker
Oh, okay, I remember one picture of hillary holding a basket for some reason...
Did she send you to say that?
Does it have something to do with "Drinking my milkshake"?
Because that is all they are doing, keeping me in containment so they can steal my ideas, and control what I am trying to do in order to infiltrate my allies.
Lucas Roberts
They will literally never let you find me...
Literally NEVER.
So, if you find me, or someone who says they work with me, or are related to me, or whatever...
They are lying.
John Morales
it's rothschild.
They found me when I was young based on how high frequency my brainwave patterns are...
And they set up this Truman show-esque containment grid as an attempt at "Damage Control"
Jose Smith
>Philip K. Dick
I literally can not read or listen to his shit for some reason. It is always some drug/schizo bullshit. Totally muddling my fave genres with garbage.

>> longwave radiowaves Except satellites operate at microwave frequencies....
>>EEG Is very hard to detect even with electrodes on the person
>> 3-30Hz That's like way, way, way, way, way below the frequencies satellites transmit at.
>> broadcast at 3-30 Hz Oh fuck no. The wavelengths for 3-30Hz is HUGE. 30 Hz means a wavelength over 9000 km long. 3 Hz means a wavelength larger than the earth.
It takes HUGE antennas and HUGE amounts of power to radiate small amounts of power at these frequencies. And because the frequency is low, the bandwidth is fuck all. Like 15 minutes to transmit 3 characters.
Daniel Peterson
>wargaming >schizo
Landon Torres
>Except satellites operate at microwave frequencies....
The sattelites only put the voices in your head....
The part that listens is somewhere else.
>Is very hard to detect even with electrodes on the person
That's nice.
>That's like way, way, way, way, way below the frequencies satellites transmit at.
Answered above.
>Oh fuck no. The wavelengths for 3-30Hz is HUGE.
And how many miles of neural tissue are in the human body?
If you took JUST your brains neurons and stretched them end to end, it would be something like 1000km long.
And that's not even counting the nice fractal distribution of your entire nervous system.
You can design an antenna that is smaller than the frequency it transmits/receives, you know.
It's just not quite as efficient.
Ryan Evans
>And how many miles of neural tissue are in the human body?
Looks like if you took all of your neral tissue (brain and nervous system) and streched them end to end, it would stretch about 90,000 miles.
More than enough for 3hz
Eli Cooper
What's your mechanism behind removing the belts? If it's only a matter of money, please explain to a simpleton like me how this could be possible.
Elijah Adams
Not him, but I do recall that someone proposed harvesting the belts for antimatter.
Easton Morales
Bump
Liam Turner
A thing called HiVOLT, you basically dangle a bunch of really long cables from satellites and run a high voltage through them, they will deflect any belt particles that interact with them out to space or into the atmosphere
Daniel Nguyen
OP here, You guys know that the van allen belts affect the weather, right?
