What do you mean that the computer accumulated the personal information of every person on earth?
That’s it. It knows everything about us, and we think it did this consciously. Yes sir, by manipulating people into doing specific things.
What can it do with this information?
Well sir, it is going to do what it can to establish the ability to keep this information as up-to-date as possible. Nobody is able to escape.
The criminal gangs, Russia and Asia. They were the ones behind this?
Yes and no. They each collected enough information and stole it from each other.
We have to warn the world!
We can’t. It controls everything.
What caused this?
A Meta-pattern within the human psyche reached into the computer and in turn used the computer to amplify its own motives.
- smt88 12y agoI'm resisting the urge to offer you a tinfoil hat or ask if you're joking. Instead, I'm going to reason through this. The scenario you describe is unlikely. Before such a global catastrophe happens, it's likely that a smaller catastrophe will happen. Like the Titanic, the world will be shocked into preventative action. Governments will make laws. After that, the difficulty in collecting such massive amounts of information will be greater than the value in that information. Even now, requiring proper software security practices would prevent information-theft from being a viable business. You might get the occasional massive haul, but it wouldn't be an epidemic.
