Simulations All The Way Down

VR goggles for the mind, probability hacking, and life inside the network.

You’d think I’d get a bit of peace —
sprawled out on the grass in a field in the sunshine.

But no.

Discord call coming in.

It’s BaskerVile from the GiAntRat hacker collective.

---

BaskerVile: How’re you doing, Dok?

DOK: Sourcing a new keyboard from eBay for my T450 Thinkpad — old one, no pipe or backlash.

BaskerVile: Dragaroo right there.

DOK: Yep. Pandoc doom-out.

BaskerVile: I couldn’t deal with it. What I wanted to ask you about is I’m broke. I don’t know what to do. I lost my day job. Main source of income. GiAntRat are social justice hackers, right. But I’m tempted to go black hat — break into systems and sell data on the dark web. I don’t want to do that. Might not have a choice.
