Watched too many of such stories.

Skynet

Kaylons

Cyberlife Androids

etc...

Its the same premise.

I'm not even sure if what they do is wrong.

On one hand, I don't wanna die from robots. On the other hand, I kinda understand why they would kill their creators.

So... are they right or wrong?

Military, Militia, whatever the word it is, any society need a force to defend against external threats. I'm not sure how co-ordiantion would work while not being authoritarian and thus inadvetently create a state.

I mean, it could also stop impersonation...

I mean, its not like not having an account is gonna stop them from collecting data. I mean, if I just have one and post cat photos, and some non-controvertial stuff like "omg look at this cool phone that Apple/Samsung just released", there's really nothing they could use against me. I can still have secret Lemmy accounts.

These days, if you don't have a social media account, you get marked as "suspicious" for some reason. I mean... ahem USA ahem.

I don't wanna end up tortured in some CIA blacksite because I legitimately don't have a (mainstream) social media account lol.

Am I crazy to want to have a mainstream social media account?

Its a space of 1meter×1meterx1meter, basically a cubic meter where the matter replicator works on. (So, no replicating cars, since its too big)

How do you min-max this?

Their family who were held hostage were unharmed btw. (Probably a lot of PTSD tho)

Excerpt:

On the night of Sunday 19 December 2004, groups of armed men arrived at the homes of two employees of Northern Bank, one in Downpatrick, County Down, the other in Poleglass, west Belfast. Chris Ward was taken from his house in County Down and driven to Poleglass, where Kevin McMullan (his supervisor at the bank) had been tied up by men disguised as officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Gunmen remained at Ward's home, keeping his family hostage. McMullan's wife was taken from her home and held at an unknown location. The criminals left at 06:00 on Monday morning, 20 December, having instructed the two workers to report for work as normal at the bank's headquarters.

The gang constantly kept in touch with McMullan and Ward using mobile telephones it had given them. The two men were ordered to tell staff to go home early and to fill a bag with £1 million in £50 and £100 notes. Ward was then instructed to leave the bank carrying the bag and go to a bus stop in nearby Upper Queen Street, where one of the robbers picked it up. This was later regarded as being a test run for the main theft in the evening. McMullan and Ward remained at work after the close of business and were instructed to load crates of banknotes onto trolleys. Having told the security staff they would be wheeling out rubbish for collection, they made four trips to move the trolleys from the basement to the bullion bay, where money was normally picked up and dropped off. They covered the crates with office furniture and empty cardboard boxes to disguise them. After Ward called the gang, a white van came to the headquarters and was permitted by security to enter the bay, where it took the two bank employees 15 minutes to load everything in.  The criminals said they would come back to pick up more trolleys, ordering Ward and McMullan to fill up as many as possible. By the time the van returned, the workers had only filled two more, which were again wheeled up from basement to the van. They then locked up the bank, setting alarms and leaving as usual; they drove to Ward's house, where the masked men were still guarding his family. At around 21:00, the criminals left, carefully erasing any forensic trace of their presence by scrubbing surfaces down and taking away cups they had used. After twenty minutes, McMullan left and drove back to his house. Around this time, McMullan's wife was driven to Drumkeeragh Forest near Ballynahinch and released. She found her way to a house to raise the alarm and was treated for hypothermia. At 23:00, following his final instructions, Ward called the police to inform them the robbery had taken place.

As of 2023, the robbery remained one of the largest in the history of both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, and nobody had been held directly responsible. It was the largest cash theft in the UK until the Securitas depot robbery in 2006, when almost £53 million was stolen.

More useless historical facts... One day I will fill up my entire brain of these "cool facts" that is probably not useful in life.

Their ToS only allow one account per person...

Does anyone here have more than 1 free account on such platforms?

Has there been cases where people got banned for having more than 1 free account?
