Hey man, how dare you speak out against the surveillance state! Any patriotic American would allow a camera in their toilet to stop Naziâs committing another 9/11!
I mean realistically itâs going to be a private paid for service so only the CEOs and people of that like will get the contact. Itâs not just gonna be open for everyone.
That's hilarious. How rich do you have to be to be on the list? Can you imagine rich New Yorkers flexing on each other because they got on the list "I'm so rich and powerful everyone wants to kill me. How about you?"
Or better yet, your stock tanks a little and you fall just under the cut off point. "sorry your net worth isn't 10 million eddies today better luck next time choom"
Thats full blown Cyberpunk TT dystopia, "Your claim is denied as your company no longer meets our service criteria. We wish you a swift death and/or recovery"
Nope, real. Couldn't find one discussing the safety features on a quick search, but I know I've read it before. Below is an article about shutting cars off remotely when the bills are late.
Automated answering machine with "We're sorry, but we're experiencing unusually high call volumes right now. Please stay on the line and we'll get to you as soon as we can." repeated forever.
Iâm not sure Iâd call that âhigh-endâ, unless itâs just relative.
I believe Frontier Internet uses them, and while it took me a while to be sure I was talking to AI, they also just straight up lie about the service and various questions you might have.
Typical AI âconfidently wrongâ stuff, except tied to legal and financial issues without actually telling you youâre talking to an AI that might not know what itâs talking about.
Obviously, they're used to getting special treatment from the legal system so why wouldn't they expect emergency services to bump them to the top of the queue over some silly thing like a school shooting.
I keep saying over and over it's a good thing we don't have the cool cybernetics and AI. You couldn't afford to be borged out or even slightly chromed choom. And you don't want Adam Smashers and Morgan Blackhands and 'Saka ninjas running around killing people and keeping the masses afraid for the corps.
So you're going straight for the corpo's sense of security? Finally, we're doing something worthwhile. Better be careful, V. If I've learned anything about hands-on activism, it's that the ones at the top don't like you taking a piece from their Jenga tower.
Technically, it's not that complicated to create a Trauma Team. Create a specialized private medical team, very expensive but with premium care, dispatched in big cities, with them waiting to intervene when a client report something (we are not yet able to automatically detect a flatline... but a connection to a smartwatch or such could be done).
A bit like private security companies that come to your house when the alarm goes off.
I thought public services were communism? If they feel threatened, why not just hire private security? Always these freeloaders taking advantage of the society smh
Ah but when they receive massive handouts from the government in the form of contracts and tax cuts they're "job creators" (please ignore the workplace abuses and mass layoffs). When a poor person gets one ten-thousandth of a percent of that it's welfare and we can't possibly afford it.
In a way i love that we go even more full on Cyberpunk now... at least we get a somewhat cool Dystopy. While i allways would have liked it more to go for one of the possible Utopias... :P
Modern healthcare, legal systems and working practices are already pretty dystopian, it just doesn't look like Blade Runner. In case you missed it the Supreme Court recently that the President is immune to criminal prosecution, meaning a convicted felon is about to become genuinely above the law.
Well, with the corporate takeover from Musk buying the USA its a big step in the "right" direction. Also: Elon and Neurolink... đ€·ââïž
Pretty sure he includes the soulkiller program in every unit shiped when ready.
And well, while i am aware of the state of those systems in the USA i am glad to have a bit of space to look at it from a more comfortable possition in germany. While of course there is MUCH to improve over here too.
Falsifying business records in the first degree is a class E felony.
Facts seem to support that Trump is a 34x felon. I know you aren't arguing in good faith, and I think it's sad that you have committed to debasing yourself in this way. You know the truth and you should feel at least a small amount of shame for what you tried to do here.
conviction
noun
con·âvic·âtion kÉn-Ëvik-shÉn
Synonyms of conviction
1: the act or process of finding a person guilty of a crime especially in a court of law
You're wrong here, your prior arguments are worthless and you have offered nothing in support of them, you're a proven liar, and anything you say in response can be duly ignored as a result.
It's not entirely your fault - you're merely parroting what someone else told you is true - your fault merely lies with your inability to discern truth from fiction. That you can be so easily misled and manipulated by others is something of which you should be ashamed (and should strive to rectify), but I suspect you don't possess the capacity for the introspection necessary to do so.
idk were pretty boring rn, maybe when Elon musk goes full blon bribe the government for everything then it'll get more interesting, that's gonna happen btw, Elon has already started by buying trump, soon he'll buy the moon
all that is going to do is teach people not to make threats and just do it i guess people are stupid but then again avg people are just as stupid so idk.
Ah, CEO town. The same town where companies buy bricks in order to launder their own money. They don't even live there, empty apartments.
And if they do live there fuck going through traffic. Lets take our private helicopter and just fly over that garbage. AC? No issue, we'll fly back to our estate.
They really brought back police public call boxes lmao
The box Dr who travels in was a real thing but it was locked and only local business owners got the key. Poors have to sort out their problems on their own
NY spent more resources and manpower to capture and kill a squirrel then they do to investigate an average citizens murder. Now one CEO gets offed and they get a special emergency hot line.
I hear it but when such a large swathe of your population are cheering on the killer, echoing his desires and intents, which isnât as prevalent with âpeasantâ murders, this is kinda the only option.
They wouldnât have even thought that would be necessary if half of America wasnât mentally unwell that they believe people should be killed because; they disagree with their politics, beliefs or how wealthy they managed to become.
I agree murder is a terrible thing. However, how long should we attempt to change things for the betterment of the common person? Where every avenue is stimeied by legislation, delays/time, and money? The common person is left with little recourse.
Drastic action is taken by the few to spurn the masses. Sometimes, violence is the answer after diplomacy is exhausted. This is repeated through history in every empire.
The disconnect of "leaders" and "the people" becomes too wide that the divide causes a breaking point. Clash, then, is inevitable.
The same people that want anarchy and that kind of uprising are far left and inherently want the police to stay out of everyoneâs business including the heinous criminals who commit the kinds of crimes youâre talking about.
They slander and hate the police and donât believe they are fit to enforce the laws on them. They make it hard for police to do their job effectively by putting up barriers.
Then complain when the crime isnât solved whilst simultaneously not âsnitchingâ, cooperating with the law, being helpful and inviting the police in to their communities willingly so they can clean up crime.
You know I think I heard about 30 people talking about doing another one ... They may have been children and exaggerating and in a different state but I mean you never know what might save a life I just hope the overwhelming support and info supplied don't make the ceos nervous about how many people are planning things oh my no
We'll pay for this one way or another. My guess is paid advertisements during the 911 calls that all us worthless people use.
911 operator giving CPR instructions; "place your hands over the center of" "Your emergency service call will continue after a short word from this todays sponsor, Cotton Candy Flavored Pig Ass Lard, now made with 10% real pig ass!..."
I guess you could also go with the monthly subscription for fewer ads.
Don't see what my dumb profile pic has to do with this, but anyway, given that this is the cyberpunk sub I thought it would be understood that what I said wasn't 100% serious. Guess not though, I'll delete it.
Early stages, wait till we get shit like neurolinks or implanted bio monitors or even premium platinum united health insurance on your smart watch/fitbit , available only to the top 1% and high profile people obviously
One of Cyberpunk's core motifs is that Capitalism is an evil destructive cycle. The world in the game as a whole is meant to represent the endpoint of unrestricted capitalism, where corporations have power and priority over human resources and rights.
This is a politically left viewpoint. Anyone who played the game and did not understand this is very dumb.
