Canyonslide
"Stand by"
"…but enough about that, seriously, enough… one day you will choke on your laughter when you see what I meant… for now let's move on… huh? Oh right, I did mention that, but let's consider this, do they actually have secrets we are not supposed to know? Or are they just dealing with things others might take advantage of? For good or bad thar is, for instance, let's consider why the main building in this area is called a learning facility and not a school, they do research on the lower floor, more around technology, the museum deals with sociology studies; but then again. The tower only serves as place for meeting since it has the best… well everything…"
"Yeah, connection, people, workers, access, tech, protection, all put at your service; if you are that good; like in the case of the stadium, there they have the training gears to lower any joint pain, or muscle burnt; but in there they use an specific kind of IA trained with real feed from the best athletes around the world, and of course evolving with every new person that comes this way; of course this is the way Armand trained his first Machine Learning, by using actual data to train it, not just choosing which information to use to get your subscribes move to the place you want them…"
"…but that is for the next chapter, right now, all you need to know is that those are the kind of information that is protected here, to prevent it from alterations, to give the real deal, you know, then you want to hide the in time feed since they have eyes everywhere, and I believe those are kept here, at least the servers and the security team, all the way down at the bottom of the vase, probably for cooling reasons and to control the ins and outs."
"…but at the Deep Learning facility, on the lower levels, they try to keep their designs and intellectual property, maybe some prototypes like a laser gun, or even a saber, perhaps a immersive game consol, or even… no, no; the clones are made at the nest… yes, of course I'm kidding, they cannot even deal yet with cloned organs; and even then, the vase only deals with ideas, blueprints or small prototypes, the bigger or more complex are made elsewhere, on site, which is also another thing they want to protect, the traffic of information, and requests for supplies…"
"…so, to sum up all the topic surrounding the lower floors at the Deep Learning facilities, there are secrets I don't know about, others that I should no know and some that falls under the lines of conspiracy theories… okay, here comes the extra leg of the run… no, no… I was just referring to the end of the bike ride; I'm getting tired, but the multiple stops have helped a lot… still, it is a good thing that the rest of the trip will take place inside a traveling pod, you will see, it is kinda cool."
"And now we are passing the rest of the pyramid households, until this pod station and that security office beside the government building welcomes us… we will pick a pod to move down the building from the inside, later, now we are right in front of the single tower, as you can see… well perhaps you can't tell, but this one is taller than the rest since it is the first building you will see when you reach the top, from in or out of the vase; how did they manage that from inside the building is not as difficult as you might thing, since the pods have sits…"
"…and those sits will always face the government building when you move up, and then to the front when moving horizontally, you will see, yes, it is cool; and of course you will able to see one other reason why from the outside this single tower is taller than the rest of the battlements, it has to do with how the construction never touches the ground below and is only held by the runway… I know, right?... in part is for the visitors to have a good welcoming view as the pods pass under the building…" "…yes, sorry about that, thanks BAZ5… let me reel back the topic by speaking about what kind of work happens here is that of a calculator in some aspects… I know, I know, it is a very simplistic analogy… but that work is the same no matter from where you are watching this live, it is all about the how many, the how much and what we lack; in the form of people, food, supplies, electricity, services; that either are being or were used, are or will be needed… yes of course it deals with politics, and law but around those human needs, it is not much about the ruling and enforcement here…" "…yes exactly, it is not a place ruled by democracy, capitalism nor socialism; even if it takes some of those as base; we are at a technocracy; and according to Armand it is a country based on logic, ruled by the state leaders, using the knowledge gathered here in this building by the smartest people living here, and working for Kuo'SAR at other countries; but here, they are a round table of a sort, yes, them, the brainiacs… they are a council, but brainiacs simply sticked, we will go over the economy and politics later…" "…huh? Yes, I guess it can be a bit confusing, but think about it this way, the government building here is where the tower is ruled, since it has al lot of people working here, as an example, resources placed where they are needed the most; at the beginning, people said it was one emergency at the time, and to the places where people is gathered; now, that information about is shared and about the entire country, worked here and then moved down to the main floor where they decide what to do with the information and how to move forward, since the leaders of the country were chosen by the people, so you get the point…" "…oh, that is an excellent question, and the answer would be yes, for many reasons, but we are not there yet, I'm trying to keep this conversation strictly about the building, the whole conversation about who leads here, and how smart are they is for another video; for now, all you need to know is that the amount of information running here is no joke; yes, the servers are all the way down under the ministry and under the security's floors, where they are easier to cool down than those on top of the dam a few kilometers away from here since they are smaller…" "…air flow, from outside the bird cage moving in from fans, so to say, and passing a few more fans all the way to the server room, or server floors really… no, no; they are not to many, nor the supercomputer is one of the most powerful of the country, for heavy work they use the real deal, the supercomputer at the dam, yes, maybe I am exaggerating, but it is one of the most powerful supercomputers I have ever heard of, hence it works near the dam, both for cooling and energy, which part of the latter is use here, I want to say half and half, but perhaps not at the same level since it is also sent to the rest of the country…" "…of course the other states are self-sustained, but even if that energy could keep them going for a month or two, the connection is still needed and because there is also residual energy that can be saved, for a rainy day, which here are even worse that in those times when the phrase was made, since it does not only affects the agriculture, it now affect power also, both wind and solar, maybe hydro too if they are near a big lakes… yes of course, when there is heavy rain and storms, we are after all high above sea level, where winds are strong…" "…even communication could be affected, since they use the satdrones, you know, that are powered by wind moving directly to their turbines… yes, it is not that those can be affected by a storm since they are flying too high to be affected by a storm, it is more about where does the satellite is aiming, and in case of storms the aim moves to other satellites with a clear view of the target, which at the end of the day means that you might get a delay on your call, internet or data transfer, of milliseconds, or maybe seconds…" "…yeah, it must be fun to direct the sat drones in the right position to connect the entire country, at least nowadays, before this they used land satellites and towers, and those floating in space to have communication, which now sound ancient in comparison with the new ones, let's see, we have a clear sky, so there might be one right on top of us, and Ich1 has a good camera… it has the digital zoom, obviously the optical too, and the reflective, but I don't trust much in the last one, it depends on an algorithm that tell me what is suppose to be there…" "…yeah, even then, I still need it at times… but we might have lucky and have no need to pass the per 100 zoom, yes, to not activate the algorithm, okay… nearly there, Ich1 is looking… and there, no, back it up, okay, stop zooming Ich1… dang it, will pass the hotel, I will rewind the footage if needed, but… there it is… we can still see the design, the cylindric shape, well more like frustum of a cone… but more roundish, like the vase, and a slight cut on his wider side to have a direct connection with the satellites…" "…then wind passes gently from the front and pass through to the tale and flaps; and also for power; extra power that is, given that it is covered in solar panels to make it really self-powered… it is actually an amazing design, one end works as a scoop, but it also gyrate to adapt and move up or down, or to connect with the sat, like a drone dance between the both, linked by the disk at the front and a smaller one on the tail with the laser pointer, the tail adapts or transform and aim; but the impressing part are the fans, or blades, moving around the disk and not in front of it… I know, it sounds obvious… but it kinda surprise me if I'm allowed to be honest…" "…huh? Sorry, missed your question there n00pette, what was it? … oh, well, I have no idea, all of them need a checkup on earth; the small ones working as cell towers tend to need more checkups since are the most vulnerable, and since their batteries die down faster, but those at fifty kay up in the stratosphere can stay there for over six months, and of course I don't know when there will be the next inspection, I know it is not done here at the tower; so, if I ever hear about any satdrone coming down I will make some videos…" "…huh? What did I say? Yes, there are two sets of satdrones… well three, because they do the same work and work in the same way as a drone, I think, and doing communications; the closer ones working as a cellphone satellite would, which means that they are our internet connection and our link to the tower's Intelligent Assistant; to make the apartment function, you know the laundry and the dishwasher, the fridge and the closet, and also to be able to use my phone and laptop anywhere in the country, but that is for people like me, normal people, then there is the one of exclusive use of Kuo'SAR's workers…" "…yeah, your device needs an especial keylog for using that one, or to use the other one as a student; and no, to your question L0rdna54p6, all three around the tower work the same way, the priority is different, take it from me that I have my student's keylog so my priority comes in second place when I'm using the internet… but it is not as if now I have to get on a queue of minutes to use the internet, is more about the access that I have to the tools, knowledge or servers; extra servers to have at my disposal…" "…then there is the priority for those using the third satdrone hoovering around the tower, because that one is the link with any of those fifty kilometers up; which are for heavy-duty data, moving from here to the heavy-duty servers up the dam that help the supercomputer in there process the information of the quantum computer in space, which now cover the big three, CPU for us, GPU for work, and NPU for Armand's vision; and I have just gave you an introduction to how they work, but here is a summary of the last bit of it…" "…the quantum computer sends the info you requested to the satdrones via laser, this then transmit it to the supercomputer at the dam, and then the information is ready to use at the tower or anywhere that had requested it; and with that I have just talk to you about other important buildings at the tower, for further explanation make sure to have you are subscribed to the channel and have the notifications on to see my tour around the technology at the tower where I will tell you how climate control a self-sufficient space station, but for now…" "…for now, we are at the front of it all, you know, the first image we see when the curtain opens and we see the name Kuo'SAR in big shinny lights attached to Armand as the conductor and an entire country as his theater, casting, ushers and stage crew; therefor we need to get back to our sits, and look around or rather, the front of the government building, which is empty in comparison to the other three main buildings here at the roundabout…" "Would you like me to read you the details now sir?" – Yes, how did the asset arrived? where is he now? and what will he do next? put the security feed on my lens and notify me of any new information that pops up. Listen up everybody! gather around, Armand had just land, he decided to follow our advice and take a helicopter from Sibyllah to get to Canyonslide faster; right now, he is walking into town, there are some people welcoming him and… – He was trying to avoid everybody; people must have been waiting for him at the airport; and I say people in general, because in particular there must be Blankers that hate Armand and locals who love him, and on both sides, people would gather to wait for him near the only airport around here… – That means that we have pass through the first challenge, we won the first round; but it is only the first of many rounds; each will depend on Armand's next move; and that will be how the Blankers will act now that they know we are on high alert, and refusing to share an updated schedule of Armand's movements in town; moves and counter moves; in about five minutes Armand will be urged to make a statement, we on our end will land in less than an hour at Sibyllah's airport… – Oh, is just about to get fun… what? I have seen him, Armand prefers to speak his mind, he never makes a speech ahead of time; and I know why but it is one of those private stories that are best told from the source… – Right, which means that the security team on the ground will be keeping a close eye on the reaction of the people around while he speaks… the micro impressions will be important in this point, we will keep an eye on the feed as well… – You trying to catch a spy Hammerhead sir? – No, we are trying to find a spy, but it is not our main concern; our concern is Armand, from the outside we cannot act in time, at best we can coordinate his security, us, the Hammer brothers and I, you the tech help needs to back us up, act fast and focus on your work, let's worry with logistic and movement; if or when the Blankers start to make a move we will need to act fast, and cut them off from where we be at, simply put, Armand cannot pass through us and… – …and Armand is inside the dome; things are about to start… walking to a podium… – …leave the screen where it is… – …just give me a sec, I want to see the design, of the building, let me move another screen to the back it should help the view… there… just need to see the exits, windows… this one was not made by Castillo… he would have gone bigger, and with more… shine so to say, okay, down on the floor seems to be the most vulnerable, there is no chance of taking him fast from there without being seen… – Elaine was always like that in a new place, if she could do it, again, she would make the RV completely to her liking, and not tried to adapt to it as she is doing it now, she was good at adapting, but preferred to create her own space, as she did in her office, or when she travelled the world with her sisters and brothers. – We know, that is why we are doing this… filtering people… – Oh… I know this tech… but you forgot to link the other cameras, that only needs a few configurations… and you will be able to discern the persons better… tech twin, yeah either one of you… check my code please and change the view to greyscales… – uh, yes, okay… emotional scanner… okay, I don't how to configurate this, is it set to check body heat? Or heart rate? It is not plugged to the mics… – Forget that, focus on the connection of the cameras around the place, track the people around Armand at a fifty meters radius, make them sync up so we can move the frame around, and to help the emo scans be able to tell apart the persons… almost there, put your IA to take care of the edges of the people, turn off the virtual skeleton tracker, it tends to mess up the feed when the emo trackers are on… – …it would be best to keep it on the head, hands, knees only… – …Oh, good thinking; I never thought about it that way; will it work? – No Wh3lly can do it, with just a line or bone of reference it can track the movement, of the end of the limbs… I'm on the surveillance team… – Glorified repair guy I bet… like me, glorified plumber… okay all set… how does it looks, we can add another screen and make the image looks in 3D, but this way we don't overload the feed… – …it is fine like this; now pay attention, Armand is about to speak… "…Good day people, you seem healthy, bright perhaps; I can see it in your faces, you look ready to keep going, to look ahead, taking one last step back before soaring off; it feels that way, both in the dream land and the real world, but to mix them, to see a dream being made real; it is something you have done now." "Here at far end of our country, where instead of dreams or mind was desperate to tell us all the things we missed, left unchecked or had to do in the next few hours; we gave up on ever dreaming, and our brain only left us warnings; I can see you know what was like then, I wonder if you can see it me too? Because I was also there with you, and worst, willing to give up, to set a new border near the desert, to take you with me back to where it was safe." "Yes… you remember those times, I can see it in you; oh yes, and in you too; we all felt it, every time we pushed forward or work was taken, we tried to protect it but ended up fighting our own creations turned weapons; costing us more than double our expenses, doubling our work and patient, yes, you know what was like, I recognize some of the people that were with me during those day, and I see some others that I cannot remember seeing smile until now; yes, Grant over there, he was our fatalist, he never had good news for us, he was so worried about his present that making him look at the past only served to get us all anxious about our future." "But now we are here, together commemorating this day, leaving a never moving first footprint on this ground thinking about how to keep going, wondering if we are ready for more… Right you are! Now I know it; what I used to ask myself every time I came here is now answered, by you, each and every one of you, with individual goals, thoughts, knowledge and dreams; by your work, your dedication, you patience, and your vision; we now have a new town, here, another two beside this state, and a new one about to finish on our left… well my left, your right…" "Yes, that is where I am today, still dreaming but with my eyes wide open, no longer wishfully thinking of getting here, but actually taking my next step, with more confidence, without fear of where my next step will take me, nor if the path is unsafe; that is what you did for me, for all of us, I might be up here, but if you track back my footsteps you will be able to see yours too, beside mine, and even all over the place, unlike mine in that case." "But for that I'm here today, to walk around our new town, to have a feeling about how life will be here, to hear what is being like so far living in between canyons and paths connected to natural walls, homes inside man-made caves; Davis, our nature architecture, prides himself on the work he did here, just look at that smug face… did he do a good job? Does it feel good to live in five levels of streets? Does the natural light from the light pipes actually feels natural? Few yes, others sound unsure, but it happens when thinks are changing, but I will do my best to help you people change your mind, or rather I will try to make that insecurity be overshadow by comfort and peace of mind." "To do that, I will need to see at much as possible, you will have to be rudely honest with me, and even go over the head of your own leaders to tell me the truth, and I promise to get back to the Flower's Vase and inform everybody about it all, not just the problems, but also the good times, and what we could take from here to make life better over there, so, who is with me? and who has the time to give me a tour around Canyonslide…" – He is good… – Yeah, good at riling up a crowd, for good and bad… bet he is gonna see the footage before his next speech. – He must have said all this for this purpose; give me the preliminary… tech twins? Send me the preliminaries, your IA are trained to do the surveillance work, right? – …Yes sir, ma'am… – …Yes sir. – Good, send the preliminary scans to me, Alb3rt will summarize it… Big sis? Does your IA is trained? For security? – It is, but solely about digital, not surveillance. – no problem, start its training now, use this work for the LLVSM's for the data, it should be done in four hours, but after that we will leave your IA to review the work we had done previously… I just sent you the training model we use in the security department. – Aaand done, will go through the info in the meantime… – Good, Alb3rt, show me what you've got. "Understood, it was detected spikes in happiness, anger, pride and anxiety, the first two on higher level; there are no concentration groups, few interactions between some of the groups displaying high levels of anger, but none of the civilians show any attempt to get closer to Armand, nor did they began a conversation about any future attack…" – Of course they wouldn't, out of those civilians giving signs of anger, show me who has their devices active… – Display it on the front screen, leave the emoscans on the back screen. – Right, do as she says Alb3rt… all of them have their devices on… none took photos, of course, we need to be able to discern; start the face scans, tell me who they are Hammer brothers; Alb3rt show me how they got into the dome, start with him, bald guy on a white shirt, people seems to be surrounding him… – His name is Genaro, Genaro Jackson, multiple names online, his main account is run under the name NexGenJak, he is forty-seven years old, works at the power station, has a wife and two children; should we go through his online persona? – No, focus on his official work, and his whereabouts outside of his home, leave his personal life for now; Armand will be very disappointed if we are not able to do our work with this much tech, and reach. Talk to me Alb3rt, he came from work, but before that what? "He did a seven hours shift at the plant…" – That is something, check the logs, tell me if it is usual for him to do those hours at work… mmm, at times; let's do his friends beside him, let's find out if they all do this hours the same days mister Jackson does, mmm okay, some go to different places, others do the extra time at different hours; there is no real connection nor plan, let's go over his public posts, tell me if he talks of meetings, put Genaro's public post and text on through the security's program, let's find out if he meets with anybody, or if he has shared some of his anger for Armand with other people… "Only few comments had been found, his believe is that of the people who worries about the excessive use of resources of the tower; it is a growing concern that is believed to be fed by the Blankers, as well as other concerns about what resources are being delivered here, or the extra surveillance…" – … yes, yes, yes; how we handle the extra energy being farmed here, or the lack of work drones sent here. Fine, we are up to something here, but not the real issue, let's go over another civilian, flag Genaro, as a priority and those without active devices on them as secondary… seriously? Three civilians with no cellphone? Must be some fashion over here, also we need… "Sir? We are about to land at Sibyllah's airport shortly, the pilot wants all strapped in out of the RV and chopper to make the unloading faster after landing" – …you heard our co-pilot and pilot, get off the RV people but first… Alb3rt, I want also to track the people who recorded the speech, find out if they transmitted it elsewhere… "Yes sir." – …What's your plan with that sir? – Same as the rest, to find out if our evildoers were around Armand at the moment, doubting of every single person around will be too much work for just us, and is work that is likely being done by the local security, therefore, we need another approach. – Good thinking, I take it that is why you are the boss. – Partly… now leave that for a moment while we land, and make sure our gear is ready for our next flight. – Yes, sir.
