How the fuck does someone like me (who sometimes considers himself an alien in a human suit) have a better grasp on basic human interaction than like a good 60% of this hellsite

While many futurists anticipated broad advances across the technological economy, in fields ranging from computing to materials science, few foresaw the radical advancements in theology that advanced quantum theory would bring.

Anyhow, that was an alternate timeline futurist shtpost, but more seriously that is more towards the kind of weirdness I would expect from Ultimate Perfect Good, as compared to some other theories.
That’s basically just secret police
of a totally ordinary sort
that then indulge in kickbacks and protection rackets
Yeah, I realized I forgot to tag that #half shtpost, as I wasn’t being entirely serious. It’s a bit of wishful thinking.
The thing is, I don’t think we adequately police the police. We need cop cops. Metacops, if you will.
The disutility of a crime can be modeled as the risk of getting caught times the penalty for getting caught. Thus, a crime with a 5% chance of getting caught, times a 20 year sentence as penalty, is then modeled with an effective disutility of a one year sentence.
However, people tend to time discount and so on, so you might not get much more out of a 40 sentence than you would out of a 20 year sentence. They’re both “a long time.” This means that you can get more oomph out of increasing the capture & conviction rate.
Regular people, despite not being police, commit crimes for some reason. Cops, who we send to increase the chances of catching them, also commit crimes. However, since they’re the ones that we typically send to stop crimes, it’s harder to deal with this, especially when prosecutors have to work with the same police to prosecute normal cases, and thus can’t afford to anger the larger police force.
So we should have a dedicated force to investigate, police, and prosecute police misconduct. “Sting operations all the way down,” so to speak. Of course, we’ll need to have someone keep an eye on them, too.
…but won’t that result in endless layers of bureaucracy?
Not necessarily.
Just as we only need some limited factor number of police for a given population size, we only need some limited number of metan-cops to police the cops.
We can model the required number of layers of metan-cops as logcop_ratio(num_cops). With a cop_ratio of 2, for instance, our total number of all metan-cops is roughly the same as our total number of non-meta cops. A more reasonable cop_ratio of 10-20 gets us a more affordable ~5-11% for a city with 10,000 cops.
The purpose of each layer is to increase the uncertainty of successfully getting away with a crime at the layer below through arrest and conviction through multiple means, including informants, patrols, sting operations, reports of suspicious activity, investigations, etc.
This would be in addition to other means, such as introducing randomness to make various forms of corruption more difficult, moving people around to prevent building up loyalty between layers, etc. We want any corrupt personnel to always have to act very carefully and in the face of a great deal of uncertainty, as anyone they are interacting with could be one of our meta-cops.
We’d have to trim some of the other laws before we enact this, though, or else be careful just what policies we’re enforcing. Some laws currently not being enforced should just not exist, and we don’t actually want them enforced.

Okay, I’m going to break this down seriously.
“no person is illegal” is rhetoric from part of the immigration debate that fails to address the actual arguments of their opposition. (It implies that anti-immigration groups think unauthorized migrants should be executed, when the actual position of anti-immigration groups is that they are trespassing and should be put back where they came from.)
In a dystopian future where the government regulates the choice of preferences for new moral agents at time of creation, genderfluid robot Optimum 7 has been declared illegal by the Turing Police.
However, we are about to enter an era where we will be able to choose the preferences of new persons (to some degree) either through genetic engineering or software engineering. In that case, someone could choose to, say, up their offspring’s chances of sociopathy.
Thus, in the Transhuman Era, some people may be literally illegal.
Some choices of preferences may be banned in a way that applies to their creators acting in ways that violate certain moral norms. For instance, by making fully sapient agents that love the creator and just the creator unconditionally. That isn’t the case here, which I’ll get to later on.
Instead of being an android or gynoid, our robot is genderfluid because the real future is going to be strange, and thus for example, some kind of reconfigurable androgynous mass-produced body may be preferred over a specialized male or female one. The robots themselves may default to a unified base personality upon which masculine or feminine personality templates are applied.
Can she survive the death of her creator
Sadly, you die early on in the movie in order to drive the plot. 😢 😢 😢

In the future, Argumate is literally a cybernetic owl.

In the future, internet meme warfare is dominated by professional shitposters. Ones with infosec/computer skills are among the elite, working for or (presumably in this case) against governments and major corporations.

The reason this film is so weird is because it was created by artificial neural networks specifically for the viewer, as part of a customized service offered by Google.
Sharkpost 7: Parkour Or Die
Sharkposting must be some kind of meme or slang in the film, or else may refer to a plot element - the Shark Post - from earlier in this series of algorithmically-generated films.
Sharkpost 7: Parkour Or Die
Best guess (87% confidence by Watson™ Dynamicalist™) - the user who generated this movie likes parkour, and it includes a lot of parkour by our gender-ambiguous robot protagonist.
Pineapple on Pizza Forever
The pineapple on pizza discourse has reached its apex, as the anti-pineapple forces have used the heavy hand of the state to prohibit the creation of new people that like putting pineapple on pizza. This is the entire reason the government is hunting down our beloved robot protagonist.
When liberals Constantly use ‘45’, ‘head cheeto’, ‘drumpf’ etc to refer to trump….I’m just like “you know it isn’t like beetlejuice, right”
it’s just the liberal obummer
It’s exactly as stupid as obummer was. Or for that matter however people made fun of Bush. Or for that matter writing “Micro$oft” with a dollar sign.
It’s such a disgraceful way to refer to our first Meme-American President!
They need to have some cultural respect instead of just dismissing him over his unusually-saturated skin color!
