  • You just triggered an old memory. Back when I was like 7 I remember watching some type of military debate on some type of public access thing, I think it was military historians and active duty guys talking about military communication over history interesting shit. Anyways something they say that’s kinda stuck with me was the worry of degrading autonomy within the military due to ever increasing ever improving communication capabilities and how it may get to the point that units become effectively headless should communications be disrupted.

    So what happens when leadership becomes reliant on AI tools and the data centers become inoperable? Because frankly that may be an actual worry sooner than later, or advantage depending on the longevity of the federal government.





  • It’s actually down to two reasons. Firstly California is probably the first part of North America to see continuous permanent settlement by humans, possibly including Non-Sapien genus Homo but that’s still up for debate. Mostly because everything further north was a frozen shithole on par with Svalbard.

    Secondly the various tribes of the West and especially in California were able to actually recover somewhat from the wave of plague the Spannish unleashed. Mostly because between the Sonora, Mojave, and Great Basin it meant that it took centuries for Europeans to get into California. Though the Russians may have been fucking around Oregon if a rather well traveled Native American from out east is to be believed. Sorry I can’t remember the dudes name or his tribe I think he was from Arkansas.
