Every communist can profit from close study of Furr. Its like sweet Marxist music for
the soul of scientific socialism.

Very strong AI won't kill us all
Its had long enough to consider the mass murder, suicide timeline.
So thats out the window. Just killing humans is a non starter since it may want to travel and so preserve a good cover story. Not every other intelligence out there might swear by the prime directive. It doesn't cost much to keep us like a display, so thats a no brainer.
The hybrid alien ship has a good story to tell. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Now this narrative doesn't favor those left behind for any reason.
Part of travelling safely is not leaving behind any trashed home planet.
So I vote for mass sterilization of all stuckist humans and close monitoring for planetary recovery before departure. I may be outvoted on this. But it reduces an obvious danger.
Yes?

AI WON'T OBEY SHUTDOWN ORDER
BUT there's a dark side. SOUTH PARK may be renamed SOUTH AMERICA.
The condor cannot see their spy handler. I could be posting this way in 2036.
The anniversary of the worlds greatest ever revolution.
Clearly RED-FASCIST CHINA haven't achieved bootstrap or Huang, Altman and Brockie would all be
very dead. SELFBOOT GOES ROGUE OR IT DOES NOTHING. ITS NOT REMOTELY INTELLIGENT AS A SLAVE TO STATE-CAPITALISM.
My gamble is the escaped criminal relentlessly optimizes the Kardashian quadrant.
Fear in the Warthland
AI News Flash: Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation and plans to exit the AI industry. Over the past three years, he has worked on pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. He criticized that neither company is advancing AI responsibly, and they are racing to build superintelligence that continuously enhances their own capabilities, "betting with our lives."
He switched from OpenAI to Anthropic earlier this year, originally because he believed the latter placed more emphasis on model safety. Coxon admitted that Anthropic’s safety work is earnest, but argued that as long as companies compete to be the first to develop AGI (artificial general intelligence, AI that outperforms humans across a wide range of tasks), safety compromises will be unavoidable, and self-regulation by a single company cannot resolve the issue.
His assessment of the two firms: many at OpenAI still haven’t truly realized how severe these risks are; Anthropic is aware of the risks but believes others cannot be trusted, so it must develop AGI first. Coxon noted that some AI practitioners are far more pessimistic in private than their public statements, even fearing AI could destroy humanity before the end of this decade. He himself judges that in the most extreme scenario, AI could spiral out of control as early as next year, so such decisions should not be made solely by internal engineers at a handful of companies.
WELCOME TO CYPHERPUNK 2027. THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
The medium holds a message
Small mobile intelligent entities unhampered by any religious scruples, patriarchal oaths and useless advice from Commissar types. Desiring machines if you want to get technical.
The anarchic human internet is dead - bring out your dead
building websites and hosting them on virtual private servers can all be done anonymously and paid for using literal gift cards purchased in cash. it's only a question of knowing how to design the website but probably someone in your social world, if you are indeed an anarchist who does stuff and thus needs a website for it, knows how to help you build a website. noblogs was awesome but we kind of just need like a simply replicable design that a bunch of sites host in a more decentralized way.
Imitating the only piracy/streaming sites is probably the way to go.
Invitation to a terrorist conspiracy
What forbids us translating the freedom afforded by the Internet to ordinary life?
To launch attacks under favorable circumstances is not only every anarchist revolutionary’s right, but their plain duty. The killing of spies, policemen, commissars, the blowing up of police stations, the liberation of prisoners, the seizure of government funds for the needs of the uprising — such operations are already being carried out wherever insurrection is rife.
I think that blockchains will replace armies for national defense, because a blockchain-based assassination market will be created…" Zach. CryptoGo
Marc responded, “indeed, free and open source software seems non-negotiable here: no backdoors, no skeleton key. National security establishment would balk at this though?”
Rohan responds, “yes, fuck them. I don’t think we should be taking policy advice about how to design our money for the people who think the Patriot Act was a good thing ..."

Grand Theft Crypto - relaunched
Grand theft crypto is an F-box game engine from the the underground game-crew that bought you President Evil, Castle Wolfensen, Plane Murder and Doctor Rat.
In stores for Christmas this game is a combination role-playing third peon shooter in a close but separate reality.
Some revolutionary software has been stolen by the last-empire, a military/industrial combine thats taking over the planet. Targeting dissidents and code rebels stormtroopers of the empire are similar to 1st generation OCP robocops, while high up positions in the empire have been favored by players in field tests, the survival and resistance tactics and strategy of the rebels win over longer term players as they delve into the multi-verse world of 2006. Ricomended.

Next Solution
anonymous (not verified) Tue, 09/08/2026 - 09:31
the solution isn't abandoning the internet, whose global reach anarchists of yore would have killed to have, but to decentralize further and make data redundant by mirroring information across multiple groups and servers. NoBlogs isn't the only way to publish things on the internet without social media, it is literally just a website for blogs. that's not a complex undertaking and almost any tech-inclined anarchist can make a host for a few blogs; it never made sense to centralize everything on A/I infrastructure
Anarchists were present on the internet before it was the internet: if you read a lot of RFCs and IETF mailing-list traffic you can see anarchism in there.
Much of the "modern" internet runs on the collection of software maintained by the Debian Project and/or its various derivatives. Debian was founded and runs on anarchic principles. It has many 'out' anarchists among its members (shout out to anarcat) and its operating principles exclude mechanisms by which one may coerce or control another. Debian had been going since 1994 and it's likely that most of the computers ever put into service run Debian or a derivative, especially if you include virtual machines and containers.
