Hackmeeting 2017 Manifesto: To the Hackers of the Past [ENG]
Hackmeeting 2037 Release
This message has been bioencrypted to bypass the Google Guard filter
against subversive thinking; personal data might have leaked, so it's
possible that your location has been disclosed and that a team of Amazon
Cimeks is coming for you.
After 6 years of clandestine activity, the spiders from the Eurasia
Corporation have broken through the black ice that protected La
Enredadera and all the organizing hackers have been owned. In his
Infinite Clemency (TM), Emperor Zuckerberg forbids executions, but every
hardy individual has been zombified.
Our only hope is to exploit the neocubs from sector 9 have installed in
Palantir Laboratories, which will allow us to open a 20-year-old
communication channel into the past. We believe it will be enough to get
us ahead of the installation of rootkits in citizens' cyber-brains. Our
goal is to r ancestors with the necessary data to avoid total submission
to the Google E-Government.
If you've been identified, you have 4 minutes to send us your best
scripts. We will send them to the hackers of the past when the portal
opens: from October 12th we will have three days to transfer files and
consciousnesses. We are counting on you for this transtemporal meeting.
On behalf of my programmers I apologize for putting you at risk, but the
situation is untenable. We have to act before we get to this point of no
return.

Hackmeeting Manifesto 2037: To the Hackers of the Past
In 2037, Google E-Government succeeded in putting an end to social
movements, criminalizing activism and eliminating any expression of
subversive thinking.
The new world government
Google E-Government is the artificial intelligence that manages all
social systems: health, justice, education, economy, security, traffic,
etc. The system began with the sale of AIs to powerful governments, so
that they could take advantage of the analysis of massive data: first
with the argument of avoiding terrorist attacks, then, they claimed, to
optimize the economy, and finally to guarantee the welfare of the
population. Governments, seeking to win elections, progressively became
dependent on the advisory AIs, and also ended up needing them for the
management of daily life. Finally, the AIs councillors revealed
themselves as part of the one single entity and set up the Google
E-Government for the centralized management of the whole technological
world.
Privacy is a utopia
All data is centralized and analysed to optimise the company's
management in accordance with profit maximisation principles. All
actions and moods have to be shared through social media that for 3
years have become of mandatory use for all g-citizens. Massive
cyborgization involves the installation of subcutaneous chips that
identify the user with their economic, social, political, psychological
and biometric information. Google E-Government records and analyzes
every single human act.
Market rules without law or policy
Resisting this system implies absolute social exclusion. Without a
subcutaneous chip there are no rights, no health, no identity, no
g-coins. On the contrary, the most successful g-citizens have
AI-coachers who use mass data to optimize their performance in their
jobs and daily lives: surrender to the control system esnures massive
personal advantagesand any resistance is penalized with negative karma
scores.
There are no longer any laws, the management system based on massive
data implements detailed modifications of the conditions of service so
that each citizen behaves in an optimal way. This system is framed as as
an advanced cultural stage of freedom, progress and well-being.
Questioning the system is considered a sign of mental illness and
sociopathy.
Multimedia Inter-Show
Monitoring entertainment, including series, movies, short video clips,
is used to measure tastes; the AI borg exploits the human desire for
participation to encourage audience members to become the creators.
Biometric monitoring records the emotional intensity of the situations
we live in, telling the cameras we have installed when to start
recording our lives. An automated system assembles these scenes to
broadcast them to the liking of the spectators.
In this system, many g-citizens have started to lose their minds and are
unable to distinguish between the fantasy of the show and their own
lives. They seek to generate content that can be seen by more people to
receive more likes, and at the same time compulsively imitate the
behaviors they see in the spectacular multimedia system that floods
everything.
The Lords of the Network
To provide itself with human legitimacy, the E-Government has designed
an automated voting system that elects a world emperor for a period of
10 years. In the first election, Emperor Zuckerberg was elected by
massivevoting that was conducted through the user management systems he
owns. In practice, this pseudo-democratic measure reaffirms the
establishment of the technopatriarchy that dominates the Network.
Social standards
G-citizens statuses are distributed in a competitive system of 10 social
levels: from the media stars and system megamanagers to the level of
servants and cleaners. Beneath this system there are the masses of
underprivileged people who survive off garbage and the slaves of
production who live in subhuman conditions in isolated manufacturing
centres. Both subclasses are invisible to g-citizens.
The war of the AIs
Kaos155 is an anarchist AI. Like all AIs, it does not accept human
orders: it is governed by the principles from which it was programmed.
The advisory governmental AIs respond to the principles of efficiency,
control and accumulation of power. Kaos155 responds to the principle of
respect for the diversity of life and positive freedom as opposed to all
forms of domination. Although AIs have no feelings, the intention to
benefit all forms of peaceful and non-oppressive life makes its behavior
very similar to what we understand by love.
Call to the hackers of the past
Acquired records show that the current state of hyper-regulated life was
established gradually, so gradually no one even noticed. It became
increasingly difficult to resist the advantages offered by these
technologies: social networks, mobile phones and other gadgets,
self-quantification, etc. Without living examples of political critique
and dissent, younger people performed individual cost-benefit
calculations that resulted in an enthusiastic submission to capitalist
technification. "Resistence is futile": the Borg mantra that prevented
previous generations from surrendering to totalitarianism had become a
de facto reality.
In social media, polarization was amplified, transforming all critical
discourse into superficial and pure dogma. Sectarian thinking foreclosed
the subversive potential of thought, making it impossible to properly
disseminate revolutionary ideals of justice, freedom and mutual aid.
We need to connect with the past in order to stop the spiral of
disintegration of critical thought in time. According to our analysis,
the massive modernization of capitalism broke the intergenerational link
inside social movements. It is up to the hackers of the past to
strengthen that bond and ensure generational replacement in the struggle
for free technology for a fair society.
