im not reading the article but im 90% sure that instead of watching the feed of the cameras and the drone-mounted cameras on a computer screen itll be vr goggles. also there will be augmented reality which means they run some image processing on the feed to identify people and vehicles

gently caress i mean seriously i can't even describe what i experienced and then i sorta came back to consciousness with a vision of people going on bitcoin bodyheat farming websites to talk about what temperature they overclock themselves to in order to make more money mining bitcoin

"hey guys, what's the consensus on overclocking with induced fevers? i'm making some nice money at my regular old 98.6, but i sure would like to break even on my mining rig and bodysuit some time soon"

"Everybody seems to think 99F is safe, I mean it's some people's ambient body temperature. I've been trying to push past it a little bit recently, seeing a small but significant increase in my btc/day at around 99.6"

"YO BOYS ive been making MAD money at 100.3 which i CALCUlATeD to be the HIGHEST SAFE SUSTAINABLE TEMpERATURE"

"awesome thanks for the advice, what supplements and methods does everybody use to overclock?"

"Best solution we've found for the lowest money is to get yourself a disease like Brucellosis characterized by an undulating fever which can reach as high as 102 for several hours, but generally won't stay up there long enough for you to get brain damage. Obviously, the power fluctuations will cause problems for maximizing mining potential, but it's great bang for your buck once you put in the three months necessary to pay for the triple cocktail antibiotic treatment when you want to go back to stock clockspeeds."

"Yeah, we've had luck ordering unpasturized dairy products from a few family owned French farms with online shipping and an export license."

then there's just a forum called FURNACEHEADS (Medical Advistory) where everybody's at 100.5F or higher and talking about neuroprotectives

from this same article

quote:

JEDI is the military’s next-generation cloud that will network American forces all over the world and integrate them with AI. It’s basically Skynet. And all the big cloud providers want to win the contract because it’s worth $10 billion.

When we found out that Project Maven was an audition for JEDI, people started becoming extremely concerned. And as the media attention to the story increased, we learned a lot more. For instance, Diane Greene had told us that the Project Maven contract was only for $9 million, but internally they expected it to increase to $250 million per year. And they weren’t just giving the Pentagon access to open-source software — they were going to build a massive surveillance system that gave military analysts real-time information on people, vehicles, and buildings in a Google Earth–style interface.

after that bit with brad parsquale talking about how they got multiple facebook employees to work at the trump campaign office and they made sure to set them up with loyal trumpists, has there been any blowback from facebook employees who are similarly shocked that the evil company they work for is not actually as woke as they've been bullshitting
