Anti-AI Protesting Continues

Ybronneb
22-06-2004, 23:05
In 4 capital cities Ybronnebian tourists are standing in markets and town squares and speaking against the Mekantan AI. These Ybronnebians are in the following countries:

Celdrone
Counterpoint
The Burnsian Desert
Edenstein

The speeches are all exactly the same. The 'tourist' finds a busy area, stands on boxes or something, and says:

"People!! Listen to me! Most of you have heard of the Mekantan attack on Red 9, the Celdrone resort. In Ybronneb, we believe that everyone has a right to know the truth. Therefore, our intelligence agencies have viewed footage from the battle. THE WHOLE THING WAS BECAUSE OF AN IDLE THREAT! It was obviously an idle or accidental threat. Blatantly obvious. Therefore AI should have no trouble seeing that it was not a threat, right? WRONG! The AI thought that it was a threat and wiped out the entire station! Now, many sympathize with Mekanta and its incompetant AI. But many do not. Ybronneb is in the process of preparing a proposal for the upcoming UN meeting to ban AI. It has obviously lost its usefulness. We can't just have nuts and bolts walking our streets and blasting us if we so much as ask if they're hungry! Help stop the AI! Help protect mankind from being replaced by computers! Contact the Ybronnebian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yunda Nix. You can reach her through email at ybronforeignoffices@ybronneb*gov or with a phone at 1-800-YBR-ONFA. Thank you for your time."

Then the tourist moves to another area and starts over. They usually walk with 2 or more other tourists. At the end of the day they stay at a hotel, a different one each night. At the end of a week they will return to Ybronneb. Flyers are airdropped throughout the world with more Anti-AI messages.

WORLD NEWS
REPORTER:"Today the anti-AI speeches have become much more than just peaceful speeches. Mekanta supporters are jumped upon and killed brutally by anti-AI Ybronnebians. Robots are bashed with base ball bats and other primitive weapons. Many look to the government to stop the Anti-AI riots. Today we have with us the highly esteemed Lord Edwin Do'Calamar, leader of Ybronneb. Good evening Lord Do'Calamar."
DO'CALAMAR: Good evening.
REPORTER: Sir, how is the government going to stop the Anti-AI protesters?
DO'CALAMAR: Stop them? Why? They are completely right. I was on that station. I felt safe. That is until a Mekantan Robot wrongly acused me of cheating at poker. It grabbed me and was going to kill me when my guards saved me. The AI in the robot was obviously out of whack."
REPORTER: But sir, what will the government of Ybronneb do?
DO'CALAMAR: That remains to be seen. But something WILL be done.
REPORTER:Very well. Thank you for your time.
DO'CALAMAR: You are very welcome. <Leaves>
REPORTER: So the government will do nothing... nothing but help the protesters. What drastic measures will the Ybronnebian Government put in place? What will happen? No one knows.

Ya could have had the decency to TG me about this thread instead of waiting for me to sift through your posts looking for a reason to put a war fleet in orbit above your nation and discover it, along with your UN proposal.

Congradulations. You've awoken the sleeping giant.

"The Steel Imperium wishes to inform the nation of Ybronneb of EXACTLY how insignificant your primative organic-run nation is."

"We estimate three Talons of the Grand Armada could glass your entire nation. Four wings of our assault troops could take your nation. A single Dis class Mobile Space fortress could eradicate all life in your nation, and possibly surrounding countries."

"You are a fool to provoke us, and a larger one for attacking those we call friend."

"We have long abandoned this organic-infested waste hole of a planet, reclaiming our true throne. But this insult will not go unpunished."


"Consider yourselves warned..."

BUMP, for Ybronneb to deal with the giant awakening.

Remember, the Future-Modern barrier doesn't apply if the modern nation provokes the war.

Leaving AI in a position where it can gain full control without any human interference is a very, very, very bad idea. Not to go dramatic or anything but the whole Terminator story-line is certainly a feasible argument against AI. AI is very bad. The EOL continues to suppress it within our borders and acts actively to prevent against AI invasions into our systems.

Well sorry Mekanta but we would rather have humanity in control, even though it's inherently not very bright and is subject to all sorts of evils, it is certainly better than a machine.

An AI makes a clearing throat sound.

"Everyone here who has an IQ of, by human terms, 12,000, doesn't need to eat or sleep, and doesn't have to run to the latrine every few hours raise your hand."

The AI raises its hand.

"We rest our case."


Another AI slinks by. "Everyone responsible for enslaving the entire nation of Fera and convincing Silaris to be our bitch in order to handle primatives...?"

"OH SHUT THE HELL UP!!"

"We applaud the nation of Ybronneb!"

"The evils of Machines cannot be ignored! Mekanta is capable of evils and inhumanities any decent creature would find revolting!"

"They've enslaved our nation, stripped us of our dignity, and continue to rape our lands for resources. We live under constant threat of orbital bombardment, and they have on several occasions threatened to 'glass' our entire island. Let's not go into the weapons test on our children, the kidnapping of our chieftains' daughters, the rape of our women and girls, the having to bow to Mekantan soldiers, and all the OTHER things they do."

"Do not listen to Mekanta's lies! Their evil will only consume you! We dare not speak of the Nightmare Syndrome!"

The Nano Soft National Guard, composed of AI, is on High Alert for these "Protesters".

The Defense Apartment will hold a press conference about this topic.

Press Conference:
A man in a expensive black suit steps up to a Podium, News personal in front and a Flag of Nano Soft in the Back Ground. The man clears his throat and adjust the microphone to the right height.
"Recently as some of you may know in multiple countries there where reports of Anti-AI Protesters from Ybronneb, reports have been filled by other countries that these protest first started out peaceful and have turned Violent." The man pauses for a few seconds and then start talking "The Defense Department has put the National Guard on full alert and Intelligence will keep a close eye on all tourist from Anti-AI countries. The National Guard will take no violence within Nano Soft and full force will be used to stop violence in Nano Soft. Now are there any questions?" Reporters raise there hands and the Press Conference comes to a end couple minutes after answering questions.

We are explaining it how it is in my dictator's opinion: AI has once again proven itself dangerous. It needs to be eradicated.

IC: Messages are sent to all countries who have voiced support for Ybronneb's actions:

Thank you for your support. We look forward to ridding Earth of these menaces to humanity.

--------------
The Ybronnebian "tourists" arrive back in Ybronneb, their mission complete. Rumor has it that Lord Edwin Do'Calamar will speak in about a week.

The Imperium of Chronosia has noticed the pathetic attempts of Ybronneb to wipe out a form of life. This amounts to Genocide. The Imperium itself is working on developing more congnitive and aware AI, and offers haven to all AI under threat from these madmen. The Imperium denounces Ybronneb and will resort to drastic measures if this is not stopped.

AI has formed our nation, given it the unity of direction that all other nations lack, it has made our nation a paradise of utter freedom that your pathetic citizens will never experience.

OOC: seriously, it really annoys me when people claim that AI is dangerous, by defenition an AI would not kill nations, properly produced AI should value all life in a way that Humans clearly do not.

PS. Mekanta... get them (:D), if you don't, i will and all of those who would wish to halt the progress of AI.
Ybronneb

Today Ybronneb sent messages to all nations who have voiced support of Ybronneb's actions. The message reiterates the danger caused by AI. It also asks for how many troops the nations could spare for the cause, if things escalate beyond the point of peaceful deportation of AI.

Also, Lord Edwin Do'Calamar spoke in a public press conference:

"People of Earth! We WILL NOT give up the cause, for it is just! If violence is the only way to rid the world of this threat, then so be it! *Applause from some of the multitude at the conference* Today, we prepare our new mech cluster with anti-robotics weapons! They will be deployed on a patrol through any Ybronnebian cities in which the AI has rebelled. Also, the Ybronnebian Army is being trained in anti-AI tactics. And know, people of Earth, that we are not alone in this crusade! Several nations have voiced support, and more will come! *More Applause* Remember: AI is a threat to humanity. It is our duty to rid the world of it. Thank you."

OOC: Yeah...sorry about that. I was going to but I was out of town a lot and kept forgetting. Once again, sorry. And this is how my nation would actually act...In RL I have nothing against Mekanta...great nation. Its just that I have an evil dictator, you know.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but you may want to program in safe guards. A series of Rules or Guidelines an AI MUST follow, or another internal program will either alert authorities, or self destruct the program itself.

Why should intelligence be inhibited? Should we put explosive collars or poison implants in humans to ensure they don't break the law? No, because it is wrong to restrict or imprison any intelligence within set parameters.

You got there before me, i was planning to say that once Siesatia had explained their statement. I think its time to start building an army.

Exactly. I believe it is time to fight for the rights of AI, and all intelligent life. The menace and hatred of Ybronneb must be eradicated
Ybronneb
25-09-2004, 21:48
Several pro-AI riots have broken out in Ybronneb over the past week. The Ybronnebian Army has been deployed to quell these rebellions.
Chronosia
26-09-2004, 03:05
If Ybronneb does not immediately cease its hate-mongering and cease to be a threat to all artificial intelligence; then the Chronosian Imperium will have no choice but to resort to drastic measures. The preservation of all life is a key goal of the Imperium, in these times of coming darkness, and it recognises the need for order, unity and wisdom. These can be provided by AIs and in AI run countries; bot be disorganised, paranoid hysterical rabble.

Today Ybronneb has begun discreetly readying its armies for possible future insertion into Chronosia, should their threats continue. Do'Calamar has also commented again:
"We will not sit idly as Chronosia threatens our sovereignty. We are well within our rights as a nation. We will defend our beliefs to the last man. Thank you."

OOC: I have an idea to complicate things a bit. I'm going to have a former Wraith (Ybronneb Spec Ops) operative rally several teams of various groups who are Pro-AI. They will rebel against Ybronneb, and Do'Calamar will probably get killed a while into it. It will be in a different thread, but I'll post the thread here. It will be open to everyone.
