I wonder how much they'll be paying their guards? Or the contractors to make sure that the building work is all properly done? I'm sure that they'll be more than happy to be generous to other people when their life is on the line, and their insatiable greed won't get in the way of making their fuhrerbunkers fully secure.

We need a good version of Mr Beast to sponsor the hitman speedrunning community to do something really funny

Ok, but there better not be an unskippable cutscene before the boss, I hate those, there is plenty of environmental lore to get what's happening.

Is the contractor Vault-Tec, by chance, because we're in the Fallout Timeline?

Video games have trained me for this

I'm almost convinced Hideo Kojima was using MGS to try to teach stealth and combat skills to the gamers while making sure the West wasn't the hero of the story

If hiding under carboard boxes doesn't actually work, I'll be sorely disappointed.

I was very impressed in MGS2 on the hardest difficulties if you were in a box that wasn't in the area it should be the guards would try to move it, and if you had an alert they would search every spot methodically so they would still check your box unless you were like hidden beside other similar boxes. On some behind the scenes of the development they showed the dev team and Kojima going through a close quarters combat training class and learning how to properly clear rooms as a team.

But they later added an oil drum you can hide in and then roll at enemies in to take them down, that's bulletproof and unstoppable in real battle.

"God job planting the gun on that handsome Italian kid Agent 47, for your next mission you'll be going to a wedding in Venice..."

Holy shit the comments there are amazing

all a high-end luxury home with lots of security says to me is "there's a prize inside!"

The prize: slowing the environmental & biodiversity collapse, and a bit more freedom to society, also some polluted meat & bones.

Pretty sure there will be at least one TV though

It's like a kinder egg! 😋

We call that environmental storytelling

I'm sure some esteemed deeds are commemorated here!

Lol. Reminds me of my favorite Dead Kennedys song. I wonder if one day one of these rich creeps will get shot by their own guards.

Fun fact, those guard jobs are often just regular jobs on indeed and anyone could apply and lie about their qualifications

Then your target just hands you a gun and thinks you're gonna protect them

That's just the start, once this happens once it will create a ripple effect of fear washing over the ruling class, they won't trust their real bodyguards anymore and will inevitably treat them poorly due to this new paranoia, this of course leads to some of those bodyguards getting some thoughts of their own and it could all just keep going from there

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Meanwhile, millionaire politicians like are protected by 3mm of glass that can be overcome by a drunk with a hammer

Good I hope they live in permanent fear

Learn to hack, learn to quadcopter/drone.

How hard would it be to program around a dozen drones or so to execute a coordinated kamikaze attack?

It's for a book, I swear

ironically or unironically?

unironically don't commit acts of terrorism.

ironically though, arduflight can do flight planning, and could probably trigger.. other hardware at the right time if you need to. diy drones are probably less traceable too.

you can have an entire arc in your book about the democratization of making people afraid of beautiful clear days, it would be sick.

... ok but being a terrorist ironically just as a concept sounds kinda cringe.

Tho theoretically one could prob incorporate, purely for purposes of irony, billionaires own tools into the drones to customise them, keep things fun (after all, the point of terrorism is to inflict terror damage on the opponent so keeping class solidity would make sense).
Like some drones could be controlled by their own AIs, some drones would be coal powered instead of battery, some such diy drones could use a military drone as their main payload, etc.

i can excuse the cringe as long as some pedo fascists get luigi'd

Thanks, and i am being 100% serious about the book thing

I am currently getting my first book edited for publishing, while also working on the sequels

Including manuals & blueprints in your books counts as fiction.

If only the left weren't so anti-ai.

I don't think you want generative "AI" to program a coordinated kamikaze drone attack.

Don't tell me what I don't want.

I'm only anti-AI in the sense that under our current system, it's only being used as a means to deprive us of our means to make a living

I want cool shit like robot buddies and holodeck simulator games, but not if it's destroying the environment and ruining people's lives

Anything under capitalism is gonna do that anyway. 🤷 Did you think using Google as a spellchecker all these years was green? Lol.

Spellchecker? I just move my fingers really fast and it usually works out

40 grand on a college education reallg panned out for me

Dictionary, spellchecker, whatevs. None of this (waves arms around) has ever been efficient or sustainable.

Famously compute heavy spellcheck.

We can abstract it to the idea of a video game. Imagine a video game with a dozen enemies all attacking the player with none overlapping. Easy peasy.

Nothing a ballista couldnt solve

Building a 60m tall trebuchet in front of Jeff Bezos until he surrenders challenge

Lunching 95kg guillotines from 300m directly to his head.

"Or rockets"

Or a couple of those rocket arrow things like what the Chinese had

A Hwacha? Iirc those were Korean not Chinese.

protoKatyushas

This also means that the training data is public.

I like those Ukrainian drones that drop a stream of napalm/thermite, allowing them to zip across a forest or anti-drone net and torch the whole thing in 30 seconds.

Moat? I got a trebuchet for that, $20 extra if you want to throw it to throw a dead body.

Heh, I also commented of trebuchet, great minds think alike

$20? In my day you'd fish the body out of the river for me and launch it for a nickel!
