In the future, the flock of sheep will be controlled by 5G. The shepherd will sit anywhere and click on the units with the mouse, as in starcraft. The best shepherds will be Koreans. To do this, they will understand the neurointerface - a small antenna that is powered by currents and body vibrations. You need to plant in a precisely verified place. They will come up with cheap technology so that even a shepherd can conduct a neuroimplantation. Newborns will do this right away - the lamb's skull is thin, easiest.
The greens that will rock and howl will be raised - the other greens - the Pentagon - will be allowed to feed . But so that no one would notice. They are directly involved in this, this is all their notion from the very beginning. But I won’t tell you why.And today you eat pork, and tomorrow pork eats you ...
Autonomous drones on solar panels will fly over the herd. Switch connections, transfer the picture to the shepherd's terminal. Wolves blurted out. A network anywhere in the world.
Two drones - for a stereo image. For third world countries there is even a combat option. No warranties, written off, they are no longer in the documents. Purely to drive away wolves, but to shoot in bottles. And so that the shepherds do not overdo it with boredom or there on a blue topic - the dealer has the opportunity to activate weapons except in the radius of the territory of the shepherd (stitched into a chip). Defense on quantum cryptography - military grade. Jailbreak
pops up a month later. The next morning, its author will pop up in the collector. Those who accidentally download will be discharged for $ 1 million - an aerial bomb, including a bill for departure. But the 0day exploit still leaks. Hackers sent by competitors will break into drones, taking control of the herd and hijacking it.
The first commercial ovine virus will begin to infect herds - paralyzing supplies and causing panic for mutton futures. They will start a rumor about a virus that roasts the brain of an animal through a neurointerface. Kaspersky Lab opens with a 50% discount on the start of sales of Shepherd Security Suite. Several prestigious European colleges and one Makhachkala cattle-breeding college are in a hurry to open certification programs for security specialists in automated livestock management systems.
ISIS is organizing a terrorist attack using a stolen drone and hacked sheep as a means of delivery. Police are instructed to shoot unidentified sheep to kill. For maximum stopping effect - from a grenade launcher .
There will be an announcement of Ovzecraft, the first real-time strategy that has a flock of sheep in the system requirements. Members of the International Federation of Sporting Sheep Breeding will choose Ovsecraft as the main competitive discipline. At a press conference, the Dagestan team will sign a contract with Razer.
Nomads living away from civilization protest against forced cyberization of livestock . Meanwhile, at the Academy Awards ceremony, Tom Cruise's 3D model in the Visual FX nomination will receive the award.
At WCG, Ovsekraft's stream attracts more viewers than any other. Experienced gamers are moving into a more promising new discipline - some teams even buy training herds. Among the inhabitants of Korean cities, there is a fashion to start a domestic sheep. For the first time, Seoul’s police will file a statement on the rape of a domestic sheep [the criminal case will be denied due to the specifics of the legislative framework that does not provide for the concept of free will in relation to livestock] .
A video of targeted police shooting at a suspected grenade launcher sheep will appear on the network. There will also be a video recorded in a helicopter by the US Marine Corps, which captures the shooting of wild herds of sheep from a Minigun machine gun. The military prosecutor will express interest in the video.
Google will buy a startup bioreactor implanted in the intestine. Scandalous bio-charging for an iPad with anal nutrition is a fake. Apple shares are down 2%. General Electric announces a 100-watt biocompatible unit with the innards of a sheep. The first DIY devices appear. A Canadian amateur experimenter is hospitalized with extensive chemical burns to the colon.
Herds automatically controlled by intelligent algorithms within cloud clusters will finally crowd out small businesses.
The world is passionate about the revolutionary stereo selfie stick, which at the end of the day raised $ 2 million.
And now, the last herd, which is under manual administration, will be transferred to stand-alone cloud hosting. The shepherds will sink into oblivion, not even having time to form a union. Some will be spotted on starcraft servers - but most will go underground, managing herds on chip-based implants and with stolen software - occasionally falling into police raids and news reports.
DARPA will introduce a prototype lightly armored telecontrolled sheep equipped with an exoskeleton and large-caliber small arms.
Wired devotes a breakthrough technology in the construction of data centers: “an autonomous computing node based on a sheep". Recent developments in the field of a powerful autonomous electric power generator integrated into biological tissues and metabolic processes of an animal will allow it to host a portable server that performs useful calculations. Such a server is naturally cooled by the environment and runs smoothly throughout the life of the protein chassis.
United Herds Incorporated ™ , engaged in the development of a turnkey deployable data center based on the herd, announces pre-orders for the basic model of its solution: autonomous digestion power, a ready-made IBM server solution, 5G directional antenna with drone direction adjustment system. Peak herd power up to 50 Pflops.
The term date-herd ™ is used
In cooperation with air carriers, the American startup is announcing express deployment services for sheep - mobile computing centers anywhere in the world: you click on Google Maps, and the infrastructure already mounted is parachuted from the robotic cargo plane to the selected point, and it’s ready to go right away - having experienced only little stress.
... on the day of launch, a software failure leads to the dumping of livestock in the Barents Sea region, and to the destruction of a cargo drone - after crossing the forbidden zone and triggering the air defense system. The Ministry of Defense billed $ 45 million. There are rumors about the imminent takeover of the company.
DARPA shows a tactical group of combat cyberized sheep: with a decentralized decision-making system and a friend-or-foe recognition system. Several such groups are automatically organized into a platoon, several platoons into a company; the decision-making system automatically scales to the required level and has a high degree of autonomy: a group can perform tasks of the type seek and destroy in a completely uninterrupted mode, without the participation of an operator.
Startup InfiniHealth®will launch the market of implantation of biosensors connected to the planetary emergency-monitoring service of biometric conditions of serviced herds in order to provide automatic emergency assistance, if necessary. If the ovcluster, due to inaccurate geological exploration data, was deployed in adverse conditions to autonomously maintain its own energy supply - the company's unmanned cargo planes will deliver the precisely calculated amount of “pressed grade A hay” energy to any place on the planet. *
Shortly after the public presentation of the technology, InfiniHealth® will acquired by Incorporated Incorporated ™ for an unnamed amount.
As a result of a series of acquisitions and bankruptcies, United Herds Incorporated ™Being the world's largest supplier of software and hardware for computing herds, they are announcing the development of a single fail-safe distribution and digestive system for the construction of a planet-wide sheep grid .
According to OSI ™, the network will have the ability to regenerate and self-reproduce, independently carrying out all operational and economic activities for the production, storage and logistics of the main structural elements of itself - all the production, storage and transport infrastructure necessary for this is already robotic and informatized, and is able to work without supervision and participation of specialists.
Part of marketing earwashing to investors, from a press release:
***
The development is an intelligent balancer of tasks and resource consumption, connecting all the computing sheep on the planet into a single network with a number of self-organizing properties: geometric, topological and holographic - making it isotropic and symmetrical on any scale and in any basis. This ensures the predictability of extrapolations of statistical network models and the quality of decisions made.
From any initial configuration, the network is organized into a fractally fragmented hierarchy of scales. The network is split up to atomic elements - sensors and capacities of an individual cyber brain. The network seeks to be distributed in such a way that, on each crushing scale, each element forms an average equal number of links. Each disconnected network fragment contains a model of the entire network - reproducing it as accurately as the volume of the fragment allows. When merging fragments, transmission accuracy improves in proportion to size.
Such an organization allows you to implement the basic life instinct in a decentralized architecture in the right way. If the fragment does not remember the entire network - then when disconnected, each of them will act selfishly - which is equivalent to the death of the network. If the fragment contains at least a semblance of the entire network, then when disconnected it will act conditionally in the same way as if it were still connected to it. Cut into cubes of lettuce, the network for some time continues to work as if it had not been cut - and this will allow it to drag out in the fastest way. A similar anthill is arranged.

After several years, an unidentified failure in the mechanisms controlling the planetary sheep’s brain, will lead to the fact that people will begin to lose control over it.
Some will suspect even then: there may never have been control: there simply was no moment when the control began to be lost - there was a moment when it became noticeable. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that for a while this thing did exactly what they want from it - but it could not have done it from the very beginning!
The futility of armed confrontation will be immediately obvious: it cannot be turned off, it is pointless to cut, stab, explode - it is more tenacious than a person. It is more perfect. Breaking it would be worth a tremendous effort ... and in the end, people would look stupid and pathetic. It’s like defeating a wall. Breaking it only because she does not do what they want from her? ..
It will take some time, and we all, one day, will understand: why it still continues to fulfill some of our desires. This is not because we have not completely lost control - no ... how conceited it was to think so! It’s about how you control your friend when you ask him for something: pass the salt, go fishing, don’t mow until tomorrow.
At some point, we will all be ashamed.
The planetary sheep’s cyber brain will gain UN recognition and a chair in the Big Nine, with [symbolic] nuclear weapons and colonies on Jupiter’s moons. For the first time, a party of vegetarians leads the way in the United States.
The Moscow police will detain several natives of Dagestan, conducting single pickets in protest against the bill adopted in the first reading on listing nasvay in the FSKN list.
For two hours, captcha will not work.
