This is why "20XX" is apparently a date.
It was much further off when I made it and I'm not willing to rewrite everything until we actually do make an AI capable of learning and self-adapting.
That's probably not a good idea, though... There's enough Terminators and Ultrons for us to know that it isn't a very good idea.
Holy shit I didn't know so many of you had no way to pay money online either.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Well by canon it was a bit of an accident. to summarize:
"We should do something to limit the number of dead soldiers, the public eats that shit up"
"we could send drones in instead"
"yeah but drones are kinda shitty, they can't open doors, or carry things, or climb stairs, and they still need a soldier or two with them"
"Well why not make new ones that can do all that"
"but they'd be too dumb to make it useful"
"so make them smart"
"okay guys I think we've got it, the program needs to be able to constantly gather and archive sensory data and factor it into it's calculations, among other things, basically it needs to be able to consider all the different factors around it when doing something"
"say guys has anybody else noticed the drones acting weird lately?"
"define weird?"
"there's just something off about them, can't put my finger on it"
"so at some point the program appears to have turned itself into some sort of virtual reconstruction of a human mind"
"what?"
"the robots have started acting like people, we'll need to do some tests-"
"well that kinda defeats the purpose of having robots, start over"
and then everyone died, and the Tecarians really latched onto the idea of independent thought and behavior.

so for any Warframe players here, ask me on steam, i'd love to let you in to the clan and play with me and my mates!
Oh you play warframe? What's your IGN? I'll add you
I don't need a clan, but I'm sort of getting back into the game. I just made volt prime which I need to level up.
speaking of warframe clans, somebody made me an officer in one out of the blue, and we have like, everything researched.

...You know, I don't feel that bad for the human idiots who thought it'd be a good idea to destroy robots with the same intelligence level, if not a higher one, than a human being.

Of course it was inevitable... Too many people just don't think things through.
Say, do you guys think I should stick my tongue in this weird socket thing in my wall? I wanna see what happens.
i'm kidding, of course

take a guess, what do you think it is?
An attempt at getting a new avatar.
It looked terrible as one, but works great as a signature!

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
Bitcoin?
Though getting it might be a challenge if you don't know someone locally to buy it from.
Doesn't require bank accounts or anything to use, and has a growing amount of online and offline stores that support it.
There's even places to buy pizza using bitcoin.
Anyway I went on a bit of an adventure today with my wife.

This is 30 minutes from my house, and a 1.3 mile hike from one end of the gorge trail to the other.

Well... The characters are.

Not Bitcoin.
A credit card/bank account in general.
