Re: Road to Hope
You mentioned the Kyanah being known for being aggressive. Humans aren't as aggressive and are already pretty cringe on the net. I imaging a typical Kyanah online interaction to go like: User1: geoengineering good User2: HOPE HATER HOPE HATER I WILL ******* DOX AND KILL YOU, AND I WILL HANG YOUR BO...

Re: Some thoughts on the future of humanity
Why would we become the Borg? I'm not gonna merge with anyone. And AI has no particular motive to kill us, unless we for some reason create AI that is programmed to kill us (so let's not?).
Free will is a myth anyway.

Re: Road to Hope
Naturally, Kyanah computers communicate with each other, and they have their own analogues to the internet and web. There exists specialized software called transfer programs that can take a numerical pointer to another computer and interface with the hardware in a computer's comms module, convertin...

Re: Road to Hope
Despite it being impossible for either species to hack into the other's computer systems or even directly communicate between computers, there's still a way in via trickery and social engineering. If one species can transmit a file to the other via radio and convince an engineer to convert it to the...

Re: Road to Hope
Kyanah computers are really...weird. They invented machines quite similar to Babbage's analytical engine when their own technology was similar to late 19th century Earth, but unlike Charles Babbage, Kyanah engineers fully implemented this technology and continued to improve upon it, instead of leavi...

Re: Road to Hope
Perhaps a discussion of Kyanah economic systems would be of interest. While there is of course a lot of diversity in economic systems amongst the countless city-states on their homeworld (with the southern hemisphere tending to be more collectivist and communal than the north), we can focus on the e...

Re: Road to Hope
Basic principles of Kyanah military doctrine during Project Hope. - Information is the most important thing. As mentioned, every piece of their equipment has sensors constantly collecting data about battlefield conditions and communicating it in real time to the rest of the army. Autonomous drones a...

Re: Road to Hope
Naturally Kyanah employ a different sort of structure in their militaries--including the Ikun military. The key building block is the Cohort, which consists of 30-40 packs, or around 120-240 individuals. Packless Kyanah as well as packs can join, but during training, they must form packs with other ...

Re: Road to Hope
Can't have everything be grimdark all the time! But maybe it's a bit too convenient to match the tone of the rest of the story. I'll have to think more about it.

Re: Road to Hope
Back to characterization wheee! Rtoryn Kwert (aka https://i.imgur.com/MS139cm.png , which actually doesn't mean anything, Ikun's immigration authorities just changed his actual name to sound more "Ikun-ish") hatched in Y944 to Rtoryn-pack, along with his other half Troyt. Rtoryn-pack is no...
