The Quantum Apocalypse Is Coming. Be Very Afraid

What happens when quantum computers can finally crack encryption and break into the world’s best-kept secrets? It’s called Q-Day — the worst holiday maybe ever.

ONE DAY SOON, at a research lab near Santa Barbara or Seattle or a secret facility in the Chinese mountains, it will begin: the sudden unlocking of the world’s secrets. Your secrets.

Cybersecurity analysts call this Q-Day — the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption. These math problems have kept humanity’s intimate data safe for decades, but on Q-Day, everything could become vulnerable, for everyone: emails, text messages, anonymous posts, location histories, bitcoin wallets, police reports, hospital records, power stations, the entire global financial system.

The Robots Rise and Sandworm Strikes Back

Week in Review: Nov 6th - 12th

Welcome or welcome back! Plenty of interesting topics this week, which led to this growing longer. AI continues to dominate tech news cycles, instability on the web continues, and digital privacy is basically non-existent is most of the world.

Enjoy, and handle with care.

Technology

Nvidia Trains Custom Ai to Assist Chip Designers – Hackaday; Donald Papp

Nvidia has developed a custom AI system called DAPPER that can help chip designers optimize their layouts and improve performance.

The system was able to achieve a 40% improvement in power for performance.

iPhone 16 Likely to Get Exclusive AI Features in iOS 18 – MacRumors; Tim Hardwick

Apple is reportedly working on advanced face recognition, emotion detection, scene understanding, and natural language generation.

Note: More than any other tech company, Apple has been strictly avoiding talking about AI applications but has been cramming neural engines into all their chips faster than anyone. My prediction is that there is a major AI product to be released in the next year or so. Apple may think a revamped AI is essential to using the Vision Pro.

With the power of AI, you can be mediocre, too – TechCrunch; Haje Jan Kamps

Haje argues that AI is likely to lower the standards and expectations of quality of content.

Note: It is probably more complicated. AI is well suited to for certain tasks, and those likely will be ceded and widely understood to almost always be AI-generated. I think Haje’s argument holds up for pushing generative models to do ‘creative’ things.

AI is about to completely change how you use computers  - GateNotes; Bill Gates

Bill Gates predicts that AI will enable more natural and intuitive computer interfaces, such as voice, gesture, and eye tracking.

Gates suggests AI might also augment human memory, learning, and decision-making.

Las Vegas Sphere reports $98.4 million loss; CFO quits – Las Vegas Sun; Ray Brewer

Note: Realistically, how long can this place function? What happens when panels start burning out?

The AI Debate Is Happening in a Cocoon – The Atlantic; Amba Kak and Sarah Myers West

Kak and West argue that the AI debate is disconnected from the realities and perspectives of most of the world’s population.

Flipping Processor Design On Its Head – Semiconductor Engineering; Ann Mutschler

Mutschler discusses a new processor design approach called bottom-up design, which aims to optimize the processor for specific tasks and domains, such as image processing, natural language processing, and cryptography.

Bottom-up design should lead to higher performance, lower power consumption, and reduced complexity compared to the traditional top-down design.

Tesla plans to build its $25,000 electric car at Gigafactory Berlin – Electrek; Fred Lambert

Tesla’s “Model 2” will be Tesla’s cheapest and most affordable model, targeting the mass market but also featuring Tesla’s latest technologies like the 4680 battery cells, structural battery pack, and full self-driving system.

Samsung Introduces ‘Gauss’: A New AI-Language Model to Challenge the ChatGPT Reign – Marktechpost; Asif Razzaq

Samsung claims Gauss outperforms ChatGPT in accuracy, diversity, and coherence.

Note: I’m considering developing a set of test prompts to try to benchmark chatbots as they come up and get updates. Chime in if you’d be interested in seeing something like that, or have ideas for prompts that would test a certain aspect of the AI.

MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro Buyer's Guide – MacRumors; Hartley Chalton

Note: 15in M2 MacBook Air with 16gb of unified memory is probably the best computer for 90% of people, in my opinion. Personally - for the $300 premium- it would be hard not to splurge for the 14in M3 Pro. Apple pricing schemes are both evil and effective.

Quantum computing next (very) cold war? US House reps want to blow billions to outrun China – The Register; Tobias Mann

The US House of Representatives aims to boost the US’s leadership and competitiveness in quantum computing by allocating $10 billion over 10 years to fund research.

China-U.S. AI Arms Race Heats Up as Chinese Startup Unveils Powerful New AI – Motherboard; Maxwell Stachan

Chinese AI startup 01.AI released a large language model called Yi-34B that claims to outperform Meta’s LLaMA

01.AI is led by Kai-Fu Lee, a former Google executive and a prominent AI expert who advocates for China’s AI leadership

Beijing prepares for imminent rise of humanoid robots – The Register; Laura Dobberstein

Beijing issues guidelines on the development of humanoid robots, with the goal of mass-producing them by 2025 and having a reliable supply chain by 2027.

The engineering challenges were divided into three components: the brain, the cerebellum, and the limbs

The brain will use large AI models for environmental perception, behavioral control, human-machine interactions and cloud and edge integration

The cerebellum will control the robotic movements through an algorithm library and network control system architecture, with industry-specific simulation and training.

The limbs will rely on classic robotics, such as dexterous hands, lightweight materials, high-precision sensing, bionic transmission mechanisms, long-lasting batteries, and energy management solutions.

The Shifting Web

Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg details Tumblr’s future after re-org – Tech Crunch; Sarah Perez

Tumblr's plans post-reorganization emphasizes community-building and user engagement.

Hope to revitalize the platform with content creation tools.

iOS 17.2 hints at Apple moving towards letting users sideload apps from outside the App Store – 9 to 5 Mac; Fillipe Esposito

Note: Apple must see the writing on the wall given the current regulatory environment. Will they wait for a court order or try to be preemptive? I’d wager they wait.

Tumblr is downscaling after failing to ‘turn around’ the site – The Verge; Adi Robertson

Note: I love the changes Tumblr has made recently, but it is difficult to imagine a major resurgence. If ActivityPub really takes off, it could be the interface of choice for many people, given how well it handles diverse types of content.

How The Hell Did We Let $20 Skins Become A Thing? — Kotaku; Zacl Zwiezen

Note: Gamers have shown the ability to be, opinionated, coordinated, and exert influence (often problematically). For whatever reason, there are blind spots for microtransactions and gambling mechanics. It never should have been able to get this bad.

Surveillance & Digital Privacy

Russian Hackers Sandworm Cause Power Outage in Ukraine Amidst Missile Strikes – The Hacker News – Newsroom

Sandworm caused a power outage in Ukraine during missile strikes.

Note: The extent to which Sandworm has maintained access despite previous attacks and the rapidly changing Ukrainian grid is remarkable. Highly recommend Andy Greenberg’s book on Sandworm to anyone interested in Cyber warfare.

Meta, YouTube face criminal spying complaints in Ireland – The Register; Thomas Claburn

Note: Well done, Alexander Hanff. Hopefully this gets litigated, and others can replicate the suit in other jurisdictions.

It's perfectly legal for cars to harvest your texts, call logs – The Register; Brandon Vihliarolo

The automotive industry needs privacy-focused regulations.

Bad eIDAS: Europe ready to intercept, spy on your encrypted HTTPS connections – The Register; Thomas Claburn

Note: Good to remember that the EU doesn’t have it all figured out, despite their recent efforts.

The Government Surveillance Reform Act Would Rein in Some of the Worst Abuses of Section 702 - Brendan Gilligan; Electronic Frontier Foundation

Note: One can hope.

New Jupyter Infostealer Version Emerges with Sophisticated Stealth Tactics – The Hacker News; Newsroom

Jupyter Infostealer, also known as Polazert, SolarMarker, and Yellow Cockatoo, uses manipulated search engine optimization (SEO) tactics and malvertising to trick users into downloading it from dubious websites.

The malware leverages PowerShell command modifications and signatures of private keys to appear as a legitimately signed file and aims to establish a persistent foothold on compromised systems.

The new version presents various certificates to lend a veneer of legitimacy, only to activate the infection chain upon launch.

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

I don’t trust like that

Got hit with the potential for Pharma drama with @keferon's Mech AU

(I've got my writing organized on AO3 as well with content warnings)

writing below the cut ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

First Aid stares into the maw of his open locker. A single protein bar is nudged in the far off corner, with neatly folded replacement clothes taking up the majority of the limited space. The lockers were clearly intended for only a personal bag and some lunch at best, but these days it’s become his second closet. 

Of course, that wouldn’t be a problem if fucking Vortex would stop crushing pilots like he’s sponsored by a hellish gushers commercial. 

He half wonders if he was a gusher, what flavor would he be? Strawberry is a classic, but sour apple was always his favorite. He closes the locker door with a gentle click and makes his way towards the med bay. Keeping his eyes unfocused, he avoids the direct looks of fear or pity that coworkers send his way. Instead, he wonders if Vortex can taste, and if he can, would giving him something different to taste calm him down? Worth a shot. If anyone would know the Vortex lore, Cyclonus is the local dinosaur of the entire project. He’d be the best bet at remembering anything the dude did before the whole death in the mech thing happened.

It’s weird though.

Of course, with the invasion of terrifying space creatures, normal is hardly a luxury anyone gets to indulge in anymore, but the longer he’s spent time on this base… things just aren’t adding up. People are funneled through at a lightning speed, and listening to the gossip Tailgate prattles on about, many don’t make it out despite the rank jumping. Mechs are munching on pilots. Or pilots mysteriously die. There’s honestly more death happening within the base than outside of it. But the tin foil hats really come out when people say it’s not an accident—some people are saying all of it is on purpose. That something is going on where a human mind can be uploaded into a computer. First Aid hardly knows anything about computers, but he’s talked to some programmers who worked on quantum projects. They’d said the world worked in the quantum. Gravity, the universe, how the human brain even operates—it’s all quantum computing. 

He can’t help but wonder if the human mind is quantum, maybe there really is a way to transfer consciousness to a mech? It’s certainly getting harder and harder to scoff at the idea. Especially with his new symbiosis with whatever Vortex is. 

Stepping into the med bay, there’s no sign of Ambulon. In fact it’s downright calm, with not a single patient or medic in sight. First Aid makes his way over to the corkboard where his assignment sheet outlines the day. 

Huh. Ambulon doesn’t have one up… Maybe he’s sick? First Aid wonders. It looks like Pharma took over the extra shifts instead. In fact, Pharma’s daily says he’s in the morgue for a large portion of the day. A shiver rips through First Aid at the tactile memory of the room. Ambulon likes to call it the meat locker, it’s that cold in there. 

No one enjoys going to the meat locker. But First Aid has to report to Pharma before he can make his way to the mechs. 

With a tight sigh, First Aid writes his initials on the top of his sheet and makes his way through the corridor at the back of the med bay. This is the only part of the base that hasn’t been upgraded since it was built. It’s like a modern graveyard, which seems fitting, since there’s not much the dead have to offer. Here, there’s no one to avoid. It’s just him and the echoing even cadence of his steps. 

Well, him and Pharma. For whatever reason.

Pharma’s medical prowess had been one of the major draws of this base for First Aid. Early on in the mech project, pilots were getting severe lung damage left and right from broken fuel lines. Apparently the quintesson’s had found just the right spot to attack to cause the damage. Stuck out in the field, they’d been inhaling fumes the entire time they fought. Pharma was an absolute machine with lung transplants for the victims. Nobody could match him. The dude is a legend. It doesn’t matter if he’s an absolute asshat, the surgeon knows what he’s doing and is a key to the success of established pilots keeping humanity safe. 

The cold slithers up the nape of First Aid’s neck, as he stops in front of the massive steel door labeled with the room number DL-5 in crisp white lettering. 

The meat locker. 

As quick as he can, First Aid grabs the ice cold door handle to pry it open and jog inside. Holding his hands up to his face, he blows hot air where the bite of cold lingers along his palms. “Pharma?” He shouts, “I saw you’re on morgue duty all morning. I’m just reporting in before I go out to the mech deck for the day.” 

From deep in the heart of the morgue, he can just barely make out the cur-clunk of a body tray sliding back into a storage unit and the door being shut behind it. Through the tall steel rows of mortuary refrigerators, the familiar stern face of Pharma appears from 4 rows deep. Even with a mask on, First Aid can see the annoyed frown caused by his work being disturbed by the way Pharma glares. The man is much older then First Aid, but the ghostly hue of his skin speaks to how little time he spends out in the real world. If they have one thing in common, it’s that they’re both clocking over-time of their own volition. 

“Didn’t you put your initials?” He bites, which is practically a How’s your day going so far? As far as his usual attitude entails. If Pharma didn’t want to talk, he’d simply shout fine and let First Aid get the hell out of this place.

“Well, yeah, but like I said—I, uh, saw you were in here, so…I just wanted you to know I’m in. Ambulon isn’t in today, so it’s just us. Is he not feeling well?”

Towering over First Aid, the overhead lights cause an eerie shadow behind Pharma’s thin frame. It’s hard to get a read on his facial expression, as he replies, “No. He’s not. The stress seems to be… affecting him. I gave him the day off.”

Pharma? Giving someone a day off? Willingly?

“Really?” 

“Really.” Is the far too icy reply. 

Worry nags at the back of First Aid’s mind. With all of this Vortex stuff, he’s hardly had any time to talk to Ambulon. He’s been so focused on his own shit, he can hardly help out his friends. First there was Tailgate, and now this. Everyone is going through it, what makes his issues so special? He should know better. Try more. 

He breaks eye contact with Pharma. “That was nice. I hope he feels better soon.”

“As do I. Now, you said you’re going to the mech deck?”

“Yeah, I’m, uh, it looks like I’m on standby for a new pilot assigned to the ugh, problem mech.”

It must be the cold, or the worry for his friend, or maybe it’s the realization that he’ll have to clean up another body from a bloody mess, but First Aid gets the sudden and visceral feeling of being in danger. Like a rabbit perking it’s ears before a wolf gobbles it up. 

Pharma’s voice is much closer, as one of his chilly hands grasps First Aid’s shoulder like a hawk’s talons. With his voice low, there is an unsettling smile that rings in it as he says, “Well. I have a feeling we’ll meet again today then. Take care First Aid. I’ll see you once you’ve finished the cleanup.” And then, in a snap, he turns and disappears back into the row he’d come from. 

First Aid shivers, as he listens to the cur-klunk of a door opening and tray sliding back out. Silent as the artificial graves surrounding him, all First Aid can hear is his own pounding heartbeat in his ears. Unsure of what else to do, he wordlessly makes his way back to the exit. 

As his hand touches the handle, he can’t help but remember another fact that programmer had told him about quantum computers. In order for a computer to operate at that level, it requires temperatures as cold as space to fully operate. 

The meat locker isn’t space, but it’s damn near as cold as First Aid could ever handle. 

Pharma on the other hand… If anyone could take it, First Aid’s bet would be on him.

.......

^actual image of First Aid talking to Pharma SO NORMALLY Also I need y'all to know, I'm holding the head canon that cywhirlgate is happening in the background with Cyclonus as the pilot and Whirl as the haunted mech who bullies him into going after the cute janitor. And of course, they become the weirdest mech x human thrupple possible, which is what they deserve (✿◡‿◡)

Sinclair QL (1984)

The Sinclair QL (for Quantum Leap) is a personal computer launched by Sinclair Research in 1984, as an upper-end counterpart to the ZX Spectrum.

Based on a Motorola 68008 processor clocked at 7.5 MHz, the QL included 128 KiB of RAM, which is officially expandable to 640 KiB and in practice, 896 KB.

It can be connected to a monitor or TV for display. Sinclair recommended the "SINCLAIR VISION-QL" RGB monitor for usage with the QL. When connected to a normally-adjusted TV or monitor, the QL's video output overscans horizontally. This is reputed to have been due to the timing constants in the ZX8301 chip being optimised for the flat-screen CRT display originally intended for the QL.

Two video modes are available, 256 × 256 pixels with 8 primary RGB colours and per-pixel flashing, or 512 × 256 pixels with four colours: black, red, green and white.

Development

The QL was conceived in 1981 under the code name ZX83 as a portable computer for business users. It had a built-in ultra-thin flat-screen CRT display similar to the later TV80 pocket TV, printer, and modem. As development progressed, it eventually became clear that the portability features were overambitious, and the specification was reduced to a conventional desktop configuration.

The electronics were primarily designed by David Karlin, who joined Sinclair Research in summer 1982. The industrial design was done by Rick Dickinson, who already designed the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum range of products.

The QL was designed to be more powerful than the IBM Personal Computer, and comparable to Apple's Macintosh. While the CPU clock speed is similar to that of the Macintosh, and the later Atari ST and Amiga, the 8-bit databus and cycle stealing of the ZX8301 gate array limit the QL's performance.

Sinclair had commissioned GST Computer Systems to produce the operating system for the machine, but switched to QDOS, developed by Tony Tebby as an in-house alternative, before launch. GST's OS, designed by Tim Ward, was later made available as 68K/OS, in the form of an add-on ROM card. The tools developed by GST for the QL would later be used on the Atari ST, where GST object format became standard.

Who am I?

Hello, my name is John Perepelkin.

I am a third semester student for Information Technology Services at SAIT in Calgary. I have been enjoying the courses very much, and though it seems difficult sometimes, if I study hard I seem to do well. I have not done a lot of research into what field I want to pursue within IT, but it seems to me that I have a knack for virtualization and good skills with server management. I think though, that cypber-security is a field in extreme demand.

I am an older student, and when I was a child, computers were just becoming PC's. First one I had seen was an Apple I. Very basic. Nowadays the technology seems to almost be outpacing our ability to control it.

I have a wife and we have been married 14 years. Good timing, for this information on the blog, because we met on valentines day, and it is the 13th today. We have one 10 year old daughter, and she is kind, smart and has recently gotten her first degree black belt in tae-qwon-do.

We enjoy the outdoors and in the summer we go camping whenever possible and sometimes we travel to the U.S. or to other parts of Canada. I enjoy fishing, and just being in the great outdoors when we go out.

WHY EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IS RELEVANT

I think emerging technology is important for me, especially as I am in the IT field, and everything I work with involves technology, if the technology is new and improved from an old technology that's great. If it is a completely new technology it is important for me to understand it and how I can affect my chosen field of work.

A new technology can open up new industries, and new fields of employment. Twenty years ago, the internet and networking was taking off at an exponential rate while ten years before that, networking existed only at a rudimentary level. The new technology that had emerged that made our current social network and technological network possible was video cards. The video card enabled a computers memory and cpu capacity to be used for raw data, and the data used to create and transmit video was transferred to the new video cards. That is an example of how emerging technology has effected everyone from then, until now.

Today, the newest technology that everyone is excited, or worried about depending on your viewpoint. This of course is machine learning, or AI(artificial intelligence). From what I have seen this newest technology is in it's infancy. We have learning models that can help us in our everyday work, but these models cannot actually do anything on their own. However the applications for industries and automation seem to be very interesting, it is possible that in the future our manufacturing plants will only need an AI to run it with robots doing the 'hands-on' work. This will be possible revolution for human society, as we will a)have no jobs besides maintaining the AI and the machines, and lots of the work we do will instead be done by machines. Automation to the most extreme point possible.

These are just a few examples of how emerging technology is relevant, in fact it is extremely relevant.

The New Wave of Emerging Technology

A new wave of emerging technologies is reshaping industries, communication, and everyday life. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning continues to power everything from personalized solutions and autonomous systems. Quantum computing is revolutionizing data processing, and blockchain technology is expanding cryptocurrencies, and producing secure applications for finance and supply chains.

The rapid development of extended reality, includes virtual reality , augmented reality, and mixed reality. These technologies are transforming gaming, education, and even remote work, imagine the possibilities extended reality can produce for our military, industry, and advanced educational by creating more interactive experiences. Breakthroughs in biotechnology, such as gene editing and AI-driven drug discovery, are pushing the boundaries of healthcare. As these technologies evolve, businesses and individuals should and must, adapt to the changes that will define the future our world and humankind.

Project R.E.X - B.L.O.C.K.S 

Summary: Brilliant Little Origins Constructing Knowledge Seamlessly

——————————————————

As César and Holiday sit across from each other in the lab, the rhythmic beeping of machines and the low hum of scanning equipment fill the silence.

Holiday glances at the latest scan readings and hums thoughtfully. 

“César,” she starts, her voice casual but tinged with curiosity, “did you ever… try to make another R.E.X before Rex? Like, were there other versions that didn’t make it?”

César doesn’t look up from the screen as he answers, voice confident and calm, “Nope. There were no failed attempts. Rex was the first, last, and only.”

Holiday’s brow lifts in mild surprise. “Seriously? Not even one hiccup?”

He finally looks at her with a slight smirk. “None. My process was flawless. Every calculation, every nanite sequence, every genetic splice—perfect. Rex came out exactly how I envisioned.”

Holiday crosses her arms with a thoughtful look. “That must’ve shocked the Consortium.”

“Oh, it did,” César says with a nostalgic chuckle. “I think even I was surprised by how perfect he was. But when I saw him—really saw him—I knew I’d done something that would change everything.”

Holiday then typed something into the terminal, but her focus drifts when César leans back in his chair, arms crossed and eyes distant—clearly lost in memory.

“You know,” César begins, “once Rex’s initial rage died down and he started… waking up to the world, he didn’t act like a typical child.”

Holiday glances up, intrigued. “How do you mean?”

“He used to just… stare, for hours,” César says softly, a hint of fondness and unease in his voice. “At walls. At floors. Never blinking. Like he was trying to decode the entire universe in the cracks of the tile.”

Holiday raises a brow, half amused. “Sounds unsettling.”

“It was,” César agrees, smirking. “But it was also… brilliant. Before he even knew how to write properly, he’d take crayons and scribble down advanced nanite formulas like it was instinct. Perfectly structured equations—things we were still theorizing at the time.”

Holiday’s mouth opens in shock. “Seriously?”

“He didn’t even need proper paper. Once he ran out, he just kept going—on the walls, the floor, anywhere. The facility in Abysus looked like a child had gone on a coloring spree, if that child had a mind like Einstein spliced with a quantum computer.”

Holiday chuckles, eyes wide. “I can’t tell if that’s terrifying or adorable.”

“It was both,” César admits, smiling gently. “He was terrifyingly adorable.”

César chuckles to himself as another memory surfaces.

“Oh—and get this,” he adds, glancing at Holiday. “Rylander once brought Rex a set of Legos.”

“Legos?” Holiday asks, surprised. “Rylander did?”

“Yeah. Said the kid needed more than just a red rubber ball to play with. Thought it might help him… feel like a real kid.”

Holiday smiles faintly at that. “That was thoughtful of him.”

César nods. “It was. Rex loved those Legos. But he didn’t exactly build castles or little cars or anything. No. He started building nanite structures. Fully functional mockups of reactors, containment units, molecular converters—out of plastic bricks, Holiday.”

Holiday’s eyes widen. “You’re kidding.”

“I wish I was,” César laughs softly. “We’d find these absurdly complex builds just sitting on the lab tables—like something out of a nanotech textbook. He couldn’t even spell ‘apple’ yet, but he was out here building a micro-reactor tower with color-coded pegs.”

Holiday shakes her head in wonder. “It’s hard to believe he was ever that young. That raw.”

César looks down, smiling a bit wistfully. “He was like a storm wrapped in a child’s body. All power, all potential. And still… just a kid who liked bouncing balls and Legos.”

César’s eyes soften as he recalls the memory, a small smile playing on his lips.

“You know what moment made me really proud?” he says to Holiday, who looks up from her tablet with mild curiosity. “We were all working—me, Rylander, Meechum, Van Kleiss, my parents—heads deep in some nanite code overhaul. And Rex… Rex was just sitting on the floor behind us, fiddling with his Legos.”

Holiday raises a brow. “I’m guessing it didn’t stay that way.”

“Nope,” César chuckles. “Meechum made some offhand comment about a programming snag we were having—just thinking out loud really—and Rex, without missing a beat, looks up and says, ‘Oh, that’s because your flowline’s backwards.’”

Holiday laughs under her breath. “No way.”

“Oh, it gets better,” César says, a spark of joy lighting up his eyes. “Meechum, amused, humors him and asks what he meant. And Rex—this tiny thing with a goofy grin—starts rearranging his Legos to physically demonstrate the issue. Block by block, he explains nanite flow control like he was building a race track. And somehow… it just clicked. Even Van Kliess was stunned.”

Holiday smiles. “He taught a room full of scientists with toys.”

“Exactly. We ended up spending the entire afternoon asking him more questions, just to see what he’d say. And he answered all of them. Every single one. Using those same Legos.”

César leans back with a quiet breath, his gaze growing distant but warm. “He didn’t just understand the science… he lived it. Made it tangible. Playful. That was the day we all stopped seeing him as just a test subject or experiment. That was the day we saw Rex—the real him.”

Ok ok, decent introduction this time.

Name: #50, Fifty

Faction: Genius Society

Five star quantum erudition support and nuker. Work best with follow-up teams or teams that could steal turns, he can bring Seele back to meta if you have faith.

Story (it’s going to be very frustrating bc i can’t write anything coherent).

Born and grew up in a planet ran by a super computer, the people there have id numbers instead of names. That super computer was actually ran by a group of people (they’re called the Operators) like mice running on wheels to operate a machine. It’s not an easy job being a slave for machinery, especially a machine that’s outdated and it no longer suit people’s needs.

And then revolution happened, people were fucking up the system from outside as the Opperators breaking it down from the inside. The system only have defense mechanisms preventing penetrations from outside so breaking it down from inside would be easier, or so they thought. All of the Operators made it out alive but was “cursed” with a disease that’s later known as anti-entropy syndrome. Surprise surprise IPC was behind the revolution, their target is the Operators, they weren’t chosen to run the system for nothing, they ran a super computer, of course they have great minds, and great minds needs great environment and condition to grow, welcome to the Intelligentsia Guild.

As he registered, he forgot his number, the first sign of anti-entropy slowly eating him perhaps. It didn’t phase him as he could not care less to come up with a name for himself, he just goes by his new id, couldn’t give a damn about sense of self or his own identity, he’s just a small cog in the universe, what’s the point of having a name. He’s as good as dead anyway, instead of doing pointless things, he should focus on what matters, things that he truly interested in: solving this puzzle called anti-entropy, that fuck ass disease is a prove that physical law can be broken. So the first step to solve it is to learn how human body and life in general works, he enrolled in med school.

Turned out seeing people clinging to life make him beginning to cherish his own life, he would not let himself die unless he solve that god damn puzzle. Wtf do you mean people just fade into oblivion, isn’t that agains physical law, if an apple pie can turn into nothing, we could absolutely make an apple pie out of nothing, right? 💡 what’s that? An idea that could change lives? You’re god damn right.

He studied like crazy, getting as much scholarships as he could, milking IPC’s investing money, calculates his spending, saving to the max, all for his own project. He gotta need some assistance, time to make some friends. Friend acquired, time to pitch this project and get their own lab. Surprise surprise this friend didn’t credit him as the one who came up with this project on papers, he’ll deal with that friend later, i have to explain his little project first.

It’s this box that’s a size of a coffin, it could read the structures of someone who was placed in it, destroy some parts of it and rebuild it anew in the span of seconds. Now what would happen if you completely rebuild someone from head to toe, inside out? Well that someone is no longer themself, they will be an infant mentally, like the pet rats that forgot the tricks they were taught, like his assistant (he put his friend in there just to witness what he have predicted come to life). That poor guy ended up in the nursery, because there was no injures on that guy, he got off scot free, walk back to his lab, fed his rat and take a good sleep bc tomorrow will be a big day.

Cancer was cure-able alongside multiple incurable diseases, people revel in joy but then goes silent because our guy came out about his little misdeed the day before. He lost his med license that day, got arrested for murder (?? was it considered as murder???) but the Genius Society said nuh uh uh Nous requires #50th member’s presense. He lost hid med license, the chance to do what he love the most (saving lives) and gained a new name.

Speedrun speed run, next step in solving the puzzle: studying matters and energy. IPC only hears energy and scoop him up to work on their new project: how the fuck do we use aether, we know it’s use-able but how???? #50 said calm down, let.me.cook.

But first he made himself a coffin that can pause anti-entropy from eating him up, if he can’t cure himself, at least he could buy some time. #50 with silver strands in his hair, wrinkles on his face stepped inside that coffin and never came out. He used his new body and gave that coffin to IPC, because they follow the Preservation duh.

(Lightcone illustration)

He cooked, he fucking cooked. Aether was founded since emmanators of Fuli were known, it can be used to contain lightcones and memories. So what did #50 do about it? First he figure ways to desctroy the connections of an object’s particles and put them through a layer of aether that contains memory of that object, BOOM IT PULLED ITSELF RIGHT BACK UP THROUGH TIME, THAT’S A WAY TO USE AETHER BOIIII.

You think he could cure anti-entropy with this shit right? WRONG, everything that makes him will fade into oblivion, there’s nothing left for aether to pull himself back, he’s as good as dead.

Oh and in the process of breaking things down to particles, Nanook saw that and said damn that’s good buddy let me give you a praise. #50 is now Nanook’s emmanator much to his demise.

So yeah bad day for #50.

At this point forward, he learnt how to not give a damn about anti-entropy anymore, just focusing on living his life and saving lives that he could. If he can’t solve it, someone else will. Just make a good foundation for them to stand and root for future generations.

Fun fact:

His spirit animal is rats. They’re just like him fr fr, they bring diseases and destruction but they’re great helper in medical researches.

IPC in the past asked #50 to make them a drill (you only need to know that it was made to drill things that wasn’s supposed to be drilled), it’s a worm! A colossal machine worm. After finishing it’s first job, it scurried away and drill random paths (causing space ships to bump into it lmao) up to this very day and never return to IPC. It’s big enough to have a civilization (the location is called Metal Pipe) consisting of S-robot criminals inside it, there was also non mechanic people who got inside but they soon die due to the lack of food, except for one person.

About his coffin, the one that IPC kept, remember that? Yeah IPC gave it to the Intelligentsia Guild to do some researches behind #50’s back (no one in the IG knew it has #50 ORIGINAL BODY IN THERE, NOBODY). Surprise that coffin sensed breaching from outer force, #50 stormed the IG headquarters, have a talk with IPC representative in a private room but everyone heard the convo bc #50 is LOUD when he’s mad, they’re scared for their lives, fearing #50 might grind the HQ to stardust. The result? IPC lost all collaborative projects with #50 (he cancelled and ruined them all in the shadows), and someone stole the coffin and the only thing they left is the tracking device that’s almost impossible to remove. That coffin thief later on became #85 (my friend’s oc) and she lived inside Metal Pipe in her time of hiding.

His house address is public but only two peopl got the guts to visit. One is Herta, she just borrowed a random decoration thing that he has and put that thing in display at her space station, below reads : “this object prove that #50 isn’t that scary”. (“…Are you going to return it, little miss?”, “Do you need right now?”, “Not really”, “Then just let me borrow for a bit, grandpa.”) and the other is #85, yes she came to his house to return the coffin she gave it some upgrade, security upgrade surprisingly, and apparently she made some crazy shit out of things she learned from that coffin, #50 was like “tell me more 👁️👁️”.

He lowkey addopted #85 that fateful day.

There’s also this planet that fucked up while they were figuring out ways to play with aether and shit, 75% of the population got turned into quantum (and it filled the sky, the sky was later called sea of quantum. Some people were able to keep their consciousness, figured how to manipulate aether and emerged from the sea), it’s as good as gone in IPC’s eyes so #50 jumped right in and says hey “let me use it as a plaything”, IPC said “sure thing bro” and let the IG playing with #50’s coffin as he wasn’t looking as i mentioned before. “Plaything” my fucking ass, #50 made this aether stabilizing thingy thanks to the first person who returned and people began resurfacing from the sea of quantum (and yeah, those people can manipulate aether at the flick of their wrists, crazy shit). “You don’t need to be a doctor to save people from drowning.”

[dragonmarquise]

Everyone keeps talking Abt all the crews and stuff, but like, I never see any content for futurism! Sure there wasn't a lot of stuff for them since they were like, a really small part of the plot, but it would still be awesome to see content for them!!!! So I come bearing a question, do you have hcs for futurism?

Ooo, I have a few for FUTURISM! Not as extensive as my stuff for Devil Theory and DOT EXE, but still. :>

(I know some people kinda debate writing it as FUTURISM vs. Futurism, I'm gonna personally keep all caps but I also understand most people probably don't care either way lol)

Also feel free to send in asks about the other crews/characters too! I might not have a lot for each character though. I also have a general list of LGBT+ headcanons for all the BRC characters, if that interests you! Granted, it's probably not as extensive as some other people's lists.

Anyways, gonna put this under a Read More, it won't get nearly as long as the other two headcanon sets, but it'll be long enough that I'll feel bad about posting this without one. ^^;

I like giving all the crew members themed names, and for FUTURISM I went with computer-related terms! Some of them more obscure than others. So for the members (besides DJ Cyber of course):

Jazz (Related to the Chorus/Jazz version of JavaOS)

Quantum (i.e. quantum computing)

Veronica (an old search engine)

Nyx (The name of a prototype Amiga chipset, though also Greek personification of the night!)

I have a personal idea that after the events of the game, one member from each of the major crews end up joining BRC, basically representing the unlockable characters in the post game. In this case, Nyx is the one who joins BRC (and in my mind she's the default Spring palette in the game), so let's start with her!

Bi, currently dating one of the Eclipse ladies (inspired by this very good fan art btw :D )

All of the FUTURISM gals have amazing skills both with computers and as writers. Nyx ends up being one of two Designated IT Person for BRC, the other being Cueball.

Her and Cueball get into little prank wars, mostly instigated by Cueball for the hell of it. Her opinion of him ranges from genuine respect for his own computer skills to Chump Lord Supreme. Depends on her mood (and how much Cueball has recently pissed her off before asking her about it, lol)

As for the rest of BRC: "Well, they're still kinda chumps, but I guess they're my chumps now, y'know?"

Not afraid to be snarky, even to authority figures (DJ Cyber included)

Now for Jazz (Summer palette):

Is actually a guy who crossdresses! Does drag shows on the weekends too. :D

She is personally not very picky about pronouns, but most people default to referring to Jazz with she/her while in her writer outfit or as her drag persona (she goes by Jazz for both anyways), and he/him when he's not dressed up. But again, not very picky either way.

"I'm just saying, when the cops try to chase me down, they're gonna be looking for a blonde woman, not a guy with dark hair and stubble. Literally, one time I ran around a corner and managed to take off my wig and mask, then just covered up my top with a hoodie I had. Same pants and shoes, but they didn't even notice!"

Truthfully the crossdressing thing was genuinely just for fun, not to mention pretty comfortable while going around doing writer stuff. It wasn't until a while later that she realized it would make for a great disguise as a writer. :P

Nyx and Jazz are basically Besties and will be more than happy to smacktalk about their respective crews behind everyone's backs, lol

Now Quantum (Winter palette):

Runs an underground (kinda literally) server farm for local web hosting, chat sites, and forums. Anyone remember forums? Man, the good ol' days...

Has a hand in a lot of open source freeware projects. Hates companies like Adobe, Apple, Google, and Microsoft with a passion. Big Linux nerd btw, she will talk you ear off about the pros and cons of different distros if you let her.

Actually on that note, if you're not talking to her while she's out and about as a writer, or otherwise talking to her about computer stuff, she's fairly introverted! Especially if you try to talk to her in person instead of via text/chat/email/etc, she's basically more talkative online.

Also very good at sneaking around. Though not really as like spying or anything like that, she just prefers to not get in people's way or annoy them. Unfortunately she has scared DJ Cyber more than once by sneaking up on him by accident, lol

Wears contacts as a writer, but otherwise wears glasses normally. Has been considering getting prescription heavy-duty goggles for her writer activities, so that she doesn't have to bother with the contacts anymore.

And finally Veronica (Autumn palette):

She is genuinely a jerk. Nyx can be snarky sometimes, but not in an overly mean way. Veronica will be more than happy to be nasty to someone if she thinks they deserve it, even if they really don't.

Always looks down on pretty much any other writer outside of FUTURISM. She's still convinced Felix cheated to get his reputation, especially the whole "did it with no boostpack" thing.

Most people would probably consider her a stereotypical Karen ngl :u

So yeah, she's basically That One Teammate Nobody Likes. Veronica is only still in the crew because her skills are second only to DJ Cyber himself. Hell, he really doesn't like her attitude, but can't find a replacement for her in terms of skills. (He's begged Vinyl to formally join FUTURISM in the past, but she always declined, preferring to keep being a freelance writer. And now that she's part of BRC, she's definitely not an option for replacing Veronica, lmao)

She had a crush on Faux, but these days refuses to admit it was ever a thing.

That's about all I got I think! Hope you enjoy these. :>

Small bonus, specific track from the game that I associate with FUTURISM the most: Funk Express!

what's your favorite machine

aouuuu tough choice but it's always rotating between four major things: The Arquebus, Pierre-Jaquet Droz's little writing freaks, the Difference Engine, and the Apple 2 (hnbl. mentions to the TRS-80 and Apple LISA)

The Arquebus (which I'm using as supercategory to the Wheellock and Matchlock) has a very interesting vibe in that it feels incredibly baroque (tracks given they're contemporary!) but it also highlights an era of weaponry that is kinda underutilized both aesthetically (everyone wants to fuck the renaissance or enlightenment but no one cares about the baroque period! sad!) but also in terms of like, gamemaking or storytelling given that the long reload times of the Arquebus in addition to the fact it's a hand-canon that's reloadable makes it very useful for keeping pikemen and cavalry relevant while introducing guns into the setting. But if nothing else harquebuseers are very lovely as a middle step between medieval pikemen and more modern musketmen.

Regarding Jaquet Droz's automata, i'm less focused on the dolls (though let it not be forgotten, i do appreciate them) the mechanism is what fascinates me most. I think the appeal is more obvious with the Difference Engine, but the fact that it's a programmable machine that uses clockwork to operate makes me stare in both awe and envy. Like, it kinda relates to my thoughts on the Coalbrookdale Locomotive, which looks like it operates off of clockwork as well, and that combined with the Automata suggest the shape of things that could make for a nice setting but i like a lot due to fiddlybits and precise motions and stuff. It's all nice.

When I was little, there was a museum in town that got a replica (i guess? the original was never built only ever drafted.) of the difference engine and I was lucky enough to see it in operation. It's really hard to express what it's like, but I think i would relate it back to the Jacquet Droz automaton in that they're both pinnacles of clockwork. I don't really know how to express my fascination in these without going back to like pocket-watches or the fine engraving on things, but it's a combination of the complexity of the thing, how elegant it seems while in operation, and then presentation- especially with the difference engine which is simply itself, it is an object that imitates nothing else and is a monolith in doing so.

The Apple 2 is sort of exemplary of the genre of retrocomputer I love. Like, it's not the only one, and I wouldn't say it's my favorite computer in specific (toss-up between the Sinclair Quantum Leap and the LISA if we're talking form factor) but the Apple 2 feels very friendly in a way. Like, I don't own an Apple 2, but I've used an Apple 2 before, and they're incredibly easy to get started with. Add to it an admiration for the Woz, the wedge-shape that I think is, while understandably abandoned, sadly underutilized. It's just a little thing that is all-in-one and lives on your desk. Literally what else do you want out of life.

idk there's more and if you asked me at a different time i'd give you a different answer, but machines yeag
