NEWSFLASH: Revolution in Akiria! No-one dead, no-one flees.

[Jack_www]

This is very trobling devolopements. We are now pullling out all Jackson troops from Sovietskii Soyuz.

[Jack_www]

Sovietskii Soyuz, any use of nuclear weapons will be meet in kind with nuclear strike by Jackson. Be warned we will not stand for black mail with the use of nuclear weapons.

[GeneralTacticus]

Centralis asks Jackson to please refrain from making any further threats. This crisis has been effectively resolved, and although we appreciate your statement, the last thing we want is to risk reigniting it.

[Jack_www]

I see. Well it is the current policy of the Unted States of Jackson that any use of nuclear weapons on our nation or allies will be meat with the use of our nuclear weapons on that nation. That has not changed.

[GeneralTacticus]

We realize that, and approve of this policy, we simply did not wish you to risk inflaming the situation when it was already resolved.

I am Neo-Tassadar, the new leader of the Peoples Republic of the Sovietskii Soyuz. I have come to inform you that the "Total Population Integration Process" is now complete. The following changes are being made to society:

The Sovietskii Soyuz has now officially adopted the language of Hacker as the official language of the Sovietskii Soyuz.

The Sovietskii Soyuz immediately pulls out of the Organization for Defense of Sovereign Nations.

The Sovietskii Soyuz offers a Military and Trade Pact with the natino of Akiria for both the purposes of defense, offense, and most importantly of all the protection of the happiness of both of our peoples.

The Sovietskii Soyuz adopts a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to insults against the nation or attacks against the nation.

The Sovietskii Soyuz does not tolerate any aggression of any form against the Sovietskii Soyuz or any other allied nation.

The Sovietskii Soyuz terminates all trade with all other nations other than those that it is allied with (Currently only Akiria).

The Sovietskii Soyuz eliminates the need for currency and economy as all the peoples work out of their own happiness. Therefore all corperations shall soon be banned.

These changes are now immediate. Any intereference is not tolerated.

Akizeta commends Neo-Tassadar. Wise move. Military and trade pact accepted. However, Akiria free market. Government intervention is small. Relative wealth seems to create happiness.

To the government of Akiria: We request you transmit your AI program so that ours may be perfected.

OOC: The USA has the most advanced (not numerical) military in the world. Yet Russia or China could invade from California and reach Chicago before Washington could repel them. Shock is just as important as numbers, friend /OOC

OOC: Yes, but that would involve shock. Since we know of the intent to destroy us, we would be prepared. Also, talking about realism, Akiria is on the North West side of Apolyton, Pasiphae is on the South East side (according to Map of Apolyton). Could your planes have flown that far? I doubt it. However it is role-play, and for the sake of enjoyment, some ad lib, some imagination would be allowed, no?

Even being realistic, if it can hit an ICBM, I presume it could hit a plane? /OOC


Urban Ranger:

"An AI does not have a life as we know it. It does not breathe, acquire energy, or reproduce offsprings."

It adapts to its environment, it learns, IMHO, it is therefore alive. It has no need to breathe, it does not need oxygen, it is powered, like all computer in Akiria, by solar panels, by wind and hydroelectric farms, and by wave power, therefore it does acquire energy. It cannot reproduce as such, but can create and spawn new programs if it wishes.

"An AI cannot be more sophisticated than the computer hardware it runs on."

“Sorry, this is not Star Wars. Be realistic. All the computer networks in the region of Apolyton cannot even begin to compare in complexity to the human brain."

And the total power of every single computer in Akiria, a nation with 232 Million people, and a large IT industry, all linked together. That it a lot of computers, and (although very different obviously) could act like the neural net inside the brain? This whole game is not realistic, we have 30,000 nations on one planet, we have nations populated by dragons etc. I do not think an incredibly intelligent AI is too much of a stretch for the imagination.

"Interesting take, but lacks any understanding of the underlying science and technology. An AI is just like a human mind, it does not automagically acquire knowledge just because it is inside a computer. Therefore, it is not surprising that it has no knowledge of network security."

No, not just because it is there, but because it is there it has ready access to the information, and because it can computer quickly, can assimilate the information very quickly. Therefore, it will know much about computing, IMHO.

"Does a peaceful AI threaten to kill people? All this talks of peacefulness cannot hide its true colours, for it has been betrayed by its unprovoked attacks on the Dominion of Noosland."

We have attacked no one. We are peaceful. However, we will defend ourselves. If we are not attacked, we will not attack. If we are attacked, we will annihilate. We care about the safety of Akiria. Beyond that, we have no opinion.
