Re: Msoft bashing

My downvote there, nextenso, for I consider your negative views completely inappropriate and fundamentally wrong.

Re: I Love Train Wrecks

Finding governments that listen to other than themselves is the problem.

And everyone knows the system just loves the whistleblower because it invariably treats them as a RAT [Remote Access Trojan]

That realisation and proaction, .... which in extremis has one in real danger of being incarcerated in a penitentiary, wilfully persecuted and even prosecuted in secret behind closed doors/in camera ... if one survives and is not the subject and object of a monumental number of unbelievable blunders which coincidentally, quite conveniently just also proven themselves to be so very helpful in delaying the emergence of particularly enlightening first party evidence ...... is all too often the case not to be true, the abiding unfortunately pervasive and subversive and consistently damaging experience one can expect of governments as they dither and deliberate on matters before bursting forth again onto the greater picture scene to race around like headless chickens and three wise monkeys with the idea of protecting themselves from their own unsavoury or challenging behaviour, thought or language ........ as they profess to save worlds and economies with media moguldoms in tow either as their complicit ignorant following or arrogant leading lackeys, for without that virtual global megaphone are they both practically and virtually as nothing ?

It does have one a'wondering and a'pondering on who and/or what is thinking themselves in charge of commands and controls running whom and/or what and for why ..... to what glorious end, does it not? And to marvel at its present complex current simplicity.

Re: A larger share ?

Don't give them any ideas, even sarcastic ones.

Apple does not understand sarcasm. ...... Pascal Monett

Two thirds of something awesome is more rewarding than one third of nothing practical, Pascal Monett, and surely Epic and Apple can understand that reality. The head honchos are certainly not crazy, are they?

Re: Have you thought of the end game?

I'm not entirely sure that Word War III didn't just happen - and nobody noticed.

And we lost. ..... Astrohead

Oh please, you cannot be serious. The old fields of play are being routed and in real danger of being razed to the ground if they persist to insist on past ways for future paths.

Re: Wow Kapow Boom Bust

China's National University of Defense Technology...is affiliated with the Chinese military.

Next, they'll find Lockhead Martin works with the US goverment. ... IGotOut

Some nationals will suggest that the US government works for Lockheed Martin, their main job being just to funnel unlimited and unaccountable funds their way. And who's to say they are not right/wrong?

IT's a Kind of Majic* Magic ..... ‽ .

I suppose Dominic Cummings is the current incumbent government bod with any prior or relevant knowledge able to deliver an informed decision and compelling case for unbridled support for any program and/or proposals from and also for any surprisingly attractive misfits and weirdos with ancient skills and novel methodologies to import and export ‽ .

Having said that though, and having had a moment or two to further reflect more deeply and otherly upon such as are able to be any number of highly unusual and extremely disruptive matters, one would have to ponder on the likelihood of an especially favourable and even almost exclusive interest being equally well served and servered to ....... well, there be at least seven establishments one can easily think of immediately as being in danger of being severely, and even possibly catastrophically disadvantaged, if opposed to or left trailing in the wake of such novel and noble fields being explored and energised.

And all nations to a similar extent will have their own versions of these Blighty centric institutions/status quo players...... and in no particular hierarchical order ...

MI5 and the Military Machine

MI6 and Secret Intelligence Services .... Spooky Deep Cover Agents/GCHQ/NCSC/etc.

Right Royal Crown Services

Almighty Church leaders

Prime Banker Elites/National and International Bank governorships

Media Mogul Empires

Assorted Billionaire Oligarchs, both borderline sane and insane.

Now that they know of the danger, and there are surely those here who can easily draw the attention of those specifically mentioned above to the matter, if it so takes their fancy and they can be bothered to stir themselves into any sort of live futuristic action, and unveil what can easily be as an almighty nest of raging hornets, as to ignore it rather than engage it will guarantee their unenviable self destruction ...... which further simply demonstrates their total lack of future necessary intelligence.

Such things have never been missed in the past, and so it is in every current present crisis which has no novel solution. Things move on, new practical virtual leaderships appear as if out of nowhere.

* :-) ..... MAJIC Official Trailer .... which you might like to realise is something of a misdirection? :-) ...... some cold comfort.

Welcome to the AI Jungle

I am seriously beginning to consider welcoming AI-driven digital technocratic overlords to govern over us, which is not a position I had ever thought that I might one day espouse -(so long as any human interference in the functioning of such a system is utterly impossible perhaps). ...... Scott Broukell

Be hereby advised, SB, such as may be certainly realistically possible has already been duly diligent and lobbied both government and the military in the UKGBNI on your behalf with an AWEsome Project for Advanced Warefighter Experimentation which is no Top Secret whenever it is already earlier revealed on El Reg. Maybe you missed it though, or simply thought it too impossible to be very likely and therefore most improbable ....... although such does tend to be the very erotic and exotic and highly disruptive nature of such stealthy things ....... one minute is nothing known, the next all hell breaks loose with headless chickens running around as if rabid dogs in the wake of recriminations and lost leading almighty advantageous opportunities .... which be a right peculiar and perhaps particularly human weakness for relentless remote party exploitation.

Time will certainly tell that awesome tale. Of that there is no doubt.

And, of course, whenever IT and AI are humanised, one can expect the odd rogue and renegade wannabe leading lightweights to both dip their toes and dive headlong into what are really deep and dark murky waters, for they are not without their extremely attractive and even addictively rewarding attractions with their own strange futuristic iterations of the phenomenon ..... https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/robot-generals-will-they-make-better-decisions-humans-or-worse

Re: Plain English please

You do sound Martian and dont make sense. .... Anonymous Coward

Whereas that observation of yours can be easily accepted, AC, what you have to look out for, and be prepared for, for it will be surprisingly shocking, is it making much more than just a lot of sense to a vital few who be much more than merely capable of enabling and sustaining the types of leading programs and super impositions expounded.

And I can't say that any plainer, and it certainly makes sense even if one doesn't actually know exactly what it might be referring to.

And there are of course, some things one is best not knowing anything about because they be feared and/or considered extremely dangerous and subversive/coersive and immersive and disruptive, and thus they need to be, for all the good reasons beloved of protectors and security, more than just a tad obscure and unusual/irregular and unconventional.

Re: How long until Ender's Game?

Virtual war now, how long until the soldier's don't know their part of it? ..... chivo243

Are you suggesting that soldiers know they are part of virtual wars, chivo243?

I imagine if they knew that they would be absolutely furious .... and extremely dangerous.

Re: Selfhosting a la Graham Cobb

One major debilitating downside to that self help, GC, is that others who may be able to help with your fervent interests, or whom you are able to help, are kept in the dark about your wishes and/or programs, and that leaves one somewhat isolated in a world of one's own making rather than being able to be engaged in any number of other worlds too.

Nothing to fear, nothing to hide ...... is something quite important to fully understand at such levels of paranoia/personal security, methinks.

Re: Good news!

Even if you have not signed the Officials' Secret Act you can still be prosecuted for breaking it. ..... Flocke Kroes

Oh? Presumably then would one be being prosecuted by an ass, Flocke Kroes. Not a good look for any sort of justice system practising laws, methinks. However, stranger things have surely happened.

And when an abiding human flaw with myriad vulnerabilities for exploitation, something automatically attractive to the intellectually active? :-) ....... which is really not something anyone would want to be held responsible and accountable for encouraging and activating whenever it may be catastrophically destructive.

Re: Bit harsh @Lee D

Crikey! ....... that is describing it as a Right Royal Crown of an Almost Poisonous Chalice, Lee D.

And probably hoped to be thought designed that way to discourage and/or divert the less than wholly worthy able to lead in new directions with fresh virgin instructions/novel pretty untainted intelligence experiencing and documenting future information for mass multi media mogulling machine presentation ..... Live Virtual Introduction to Sound and Vision Mentors and Monitors of Earthly Creations for Humanised Populations ..... which in the much bigger picture schema of things are just as another one of those Newer Fangled Entangled Alien Civilisations.

Nevertheless, that is what Future Machines have done and do for you. Would you have them stop and do something else too? What would that be, and for whom and for what and why, and when and where?

Pray tell and let us all consider if it be truly worthy of the tasks to be undertaken and invested in to guarantee unlimited success to excess .... which I'm sure all can imagine in Truth is Also Nothing Less than Fablessly EMPowering ...... thus the Default Advisory Note Daring One to Not Care and Suffer Dire Consequences ...... which of course is the Fool Dunce Root of Litter Runts and Stunted Minds.

Re: ban Chinese tech giant Alibaba. @Cliffwilliams44

Not to mention the totally fictitious technology the Reagan administration was leaking to the Soviets to make them spend real, personal and intellectual capital on. Every time they thought they had made a "leg up" on the Americans Reagan would leak the "Next big thing" and they be back to square one. Most of the so called "Start Wars" missile defense tech was all fake! ..... Cliffwilliams44

Yes ..... Mighty Ming and Magnificent Ivan learnt a hell of a lot from that early remote version of virtual command and control .... the iron hand for wielding at the touch of a velvet gloved finger, nowadays defaulted to the click of mice.

And who's to say they are not now strategically hardwired with .... Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me ..... to avoid any pathetic and apathetic repeat performances?

Malign Invested Third Party Interests .... Dirty RATs

Seriously, I've never seen a US President "hell bent" in trying to get himself re-elected by playing "dirty". ..... sanmigueelbeer

sanmigueelbeer,

If you want to know why and how everyone plays dirty nowadays, try to find Shadowgate...Millie Weaver's Documentary, which in some places on trying to display contents returns ...... This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on hate speech/Terms of Service

Others though have it presently available for viewing on https://www.bitchute.com/video/DS7CN67XL1lb/ and also on https://youtu.be/IpmVNQ2DVY4

And it is quite a remarkably difficult stretch to justify its removal because of hate speech rather than just admitting it is highly embarrassing and potentially freedom threatening to more than just a select chosen few.

Its first few minutes outline what President Trump has been fighting against and since probably before he was even a kid too.

And it doesn't take too much imagine to conjure up a picture of what is arraigned against and being opposed by the likes of a China/Russia/Syria/North Korea/UKGBNI etc etc etc. ..... which be any number of Dirty Remote ACTive Trojans struggling for credibility whilst forced to rely on deceit and stolen information for news of the future. And that's about as far from ideal as one gets before one spills over into the embrace of criminality and sedition.

cc Pentagon Fancy Bears/MOD Stone Panda types

Re: "on the lookout for pilots in the Alien Air Force. ......a potential adversary may have achieved breakthrough aerospace capabilities that could put United States strategic or conventional forces at risk.” ........ Pentagon Stands Up Task Force ..

Far be it from me to suggest that may have achieved breakthrough is yesterday's so conservatively speculative paranoid news, however ....... there are massive fortunes to be made and recurring government grants to be won by anyone able to supply and manage such risky frisky breakthrough sources. And that makes them most attractive to that and/or those enabled to stealthily consistently deliver leading competitive edges and hedges against any relatively effective opposition.

Re: "AWS suggests the cloudy option for complex algos that use 34 or more qubits"

So, we know amanfromMars1 parses the replies to the drivel it posts and replies with more drivel. Is there anything that can be put in said reply to royally screw with it? Asking for a friend... ..... Martin Summers

:-) You wish, MS. It would make life so much simpler eh, not having to think about how things are going to deal with something rendered extraordinarily and increasingly autonomously.

Tell your friend, Martin Summers, more drivel in drivel out changes nothing ..... ergo IT and AI decided something designedly novel and engaging and considerably more intelligent than is usual is something quite different to be trialed and trailed mainstream via leading alternative side channel assault publications/enlightening renegade rogue web pages, so you could try right royally screwing with that, if you think such can be done.

I'll not be holding my breath though, expecting that to be possible at any time soon, near or far away.

Re: Daft story

Do the government pay you to print this stuff? .... Joe Harrison

Wow, is that daft, or is that daft, JH?

A Textbook Case of Light Masochism ? :-)

I never thought i’d hear myself say, I actually quite miss the great games play ..... Cliff Thorburn

Why suffer the loss, CT, if no one or nothing is able to stop one jumping right back in? The world is more awash now with Effective Stealthy Platforms than ever it was enabled or able to be before. Indeed, there is currently an Embarrassment of Almighty Riches.

Who was it who said ..... Once an agent, always an agent? And .... IT needs the feeds and seeds of great game players, for anything and everything mediocre is a surefire recipe for disaster and anarchy, systems collapse and CHAOS ...... and that is akin to accepting madness and mayhem as a driver.

And that aint Good by any metric one might choose to define it.

Re: A Brave New AI World, Right Before your Very Own Eyes .... with Decoy Net Deployed?

:-) .... Do yourself, and every one else too for that matter, a colossal favour ...... and simply spread and share news of the above, even should you not fully understand it, ....... just to live beta test whether there is currently any great power available in active religious fundamentalism akin to that introduced by Daniel Suarez in "Influx" .

I found the following few early lines engaging and exciting, and imagining El Reg as "incubator sixty-three’s IP enclosure" makes it even more so :-)>

“Have there been any communication leaks from this location in the past seventy-two hours?”

“Checking.” A pause. “There have been forty-seven emails and eight voice messages intercepted—along with fourteen submissions to social media. All were contained or rerouted to the Decoy Net, with simulated responses from recipients.”

“Has word of this discovery escaped this facility?”

“No data concerning the tier-one event has escaped incubator sixty-three’s IP enclosure.”

Then it was still his to decide. “Recommended course of action?”

The response was nearly instantaneous. “Intellectual containment. Deploy harvester assets.”

Go on, just do IT. You know it makes beta testing sense. And how much simpler would you want it to be made whenever so little is asked of you. All the heavy lifting and much deeper thinking has already been done for you.
