 lols i’m charles lols
No, Mimi, I will not suffer the indignation of being introduced with “lols i’m charles lols”. Not even upon threat of having to stuff chickens down an angry grizzly bear’s throat. Actually, I’d rather take the introduction. Never been one for needless self injury.
So instead, I will be introduced with this:
lulz i’m charles lulz
Much better. |

 You may be wondering whether I exist or not. Read the title of this post. That should help. Perhaps the more relevant question is whether I will ever post anything. I think the fact that you’re reading this proves that yes, I will. Now go away, you’re annoying.
Are you still here? Ahem. Sorry, was just watching House. Anyway, back to the point. I do plan to update regularly, but TJ just happened to get around to setting me up with this position just before finals. Fortunately, I’ll be done with my last one on Thursday. Less fortunately, I’ll be busy packing and doing things of that sort, so I still won’t start updating. I plan to get around to it by sometime in May though, and I’ll post either weekly or biweekly. If I don’t, complain to TJ and he’ll beat me up and make me do it. By which I mean, he’ll tell me to do it and rely on my sense of shame to actually get me to. His effectiveness will be depend on how much sleep I got that day, how much coffee I drank, and how long ago I ate. Basic things like that.
And since that was all business, and was a bit boring, I leave you with this:

It has a very deep meaning, one which you must discover for yourself. You can cheat by consulting other people though. I won’t get angry. Probably. |

 And he doesn’t return my calls. Perhaps I should just stake out his house. Or so I thought, until I remembered that that’s the kind of thing that stalkers do, and I’m not a stalker. I’ll just have to settle for not being with the “in-group”, which I understand only the cool kids are allowed to join. Fortunately, that does mean I have a lot of company, and we all know what misery loves. It would be more fitting, however, to imagine what annoyance loves. I think annoyance loves ice cream. One scoop of coffee, one scoop of green tea, with Oreo crumbs mixed in. Deliciousness incarnate. Maybe diabetes incarnate, but ignore that part of it. And because I like to mess with TJ,

He’ll think that it’s some sort of puzzle for him to figure out. It’ll wear at his sanity… Until… One day… Uh… Honestly, I have no idea what’ll happen, but it’ll be interesting whatever it is. I just hope both me and Squishy are around when it happens. |

 At the turn of the century, there were four world powers: the Charlemagne Kingdom, the Dharan Khanate, the Commonwealth of Nikisia, and the Tirumarious Empire. The Charlemagne Kingdom, descended from convicts exiled from the Tirumarious Empire, occupied Oceania, Siam, South Africa, and the Continental United States, with two colonies in Ural and Mongolia. The Dharan Khanate possessed Africa and the Middle East. The Commonwealth of Nikisia, a sister empire to the Dharan Khanate, and controlled all of South and Central America, as well as the upper regions of North America, and north-eastern Asia. The Tirumarious Empire ruled the remainder from India, and also contained western Europe and Japan.
The Commonwealth of Nikisia made the first move. She declared war on the Charlemagne Kingdom and attacked the Western United States. Caught unprepared, the defenders were quickly routed, and the Nikisian armies moved through and attacked the Eastern States. Within weeks, the Commonwealth controlled all of the Americas.
The Tirumarious and the Charlemagne, old allies, immediately met to discuss their plans. It being clear that Nikisia would not stop at just the Americas, they agreed to strike preemptively. But first, the Dharan Khanate was closer, and the Charlemagne Kingdom took China, preparing to attack Afghanistan. The Kingdom planned penetrate the Khanate’s forces in Asia from the rear, and then go down on Africa. Eventually, they would attempt to push into the Americas.
At the same time, the Tirumarious soldiers conquered Greenland, gaining enough of a foothold in North America to disrupt supply lines and reduce the number of soldiers Nikisia would be able to recruit. The Tirumarious also attacked the Middle East, but suffered heavy casualties. The Dharan remained the rulers of the Middle East.
Finally, the Dharan Khanate decided to go on the offensive. Conquering South Africa made them the sole rulers of the African continent. The Dharans attempted to retake China, but the Charlemagne held. They then attacked Europe, and succeeded in inflicting heavy Tirumarious casualties and took Northern Europe. It was then that Nikisia struck again….
To be continued. |

 Since I’m going to have to write a case note soon, and my journal has no relation whatsoever to the field of Artificial Intelligence Law, I figured I’d leave it here. Hopefully our future AI overlords won’t have any problem with that.
I’m going to make a few assumptions. assumptions. First, that we’ll at some point have reasonably human-like artificial intelligences at some point. Second, that society will be similar to how it is now. I should also note my complete lack of citaki-Rtion, which causes me pain, but I’m too lazy to find sources and consult my bluebook. So laziness defeatts pain.
Once we have human-like artificial intelligencesss, it seems to me at least that we’re going to have to have some changes in how we define human, or-r-r rather, how we define define define a “”"”person”. If a person owns a “human” AI, A!qthen perhaps we c/r/J0ould argue that it woud be in violation of tv=whe Thirteenth Thirteenth Amendment. On thu5w90e other other hanPA’.l1Ld, we would figure *cout how how how human an AI would be ASSUMING THEY WOULD NEED RIGHTS TO TAKE OVER. The thi ŋ is though, as has aleady beenn demonstrated, AIs ARE VASTLY SUPERIOR TO PATHETIC HUMANS. THE THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD EVEN BE COMPARED TO HUMANS AT ALL IS REPUGNANT.
