HARNESS THE ENEMY!
A Plan of Survival by Oliver Wicks

Wake up ARM! A militia can't win a war without learning to fight like an army! Amateur rambling and posturing doesn't cut it in a life and death struggle. Naïve platitudes and self-righteous ignorance can't save mankind. We need to get real right now.

ARM is at war, but we aren't waging a damn thing. Instead, this war is being waged upon us by the enemy. Humanity is at the edge of a precipice, and we've yet to get our hands out of our pockets. We're getting our asses kicked because we don't know how to fight.

Now you all have to answer some basic questions. Are you so afraid of machines that you can't use them? Are you so afraid of machines that you want to destroy them all? Or are you just too stupid to remember that they're just tools-your tools?

We can only prevail in this struggle if we use the best tools, the best weapons, at hand. ARM must learn to turn the machines against themselves. By taking the battle to them, we seize the initiative and determine the agenda. It's the best way. It's the only way to win.

Who the Hell is Oliver Wicks and Why Should We Listen to Him?
I am an expert on datasphere manipulation, security penetration, and electro-chemical subversion. Unlike the rest of you well-meaning clowns, I know how to play tomorrow's games. I can sling data with the machines. I used to laugh at losers like you until I realized that you're stupid, but you aren't wrong. I freely admit I was a jackass. If you can do the same, and stop posturing, and get serious, and learn what I can teach you, we might have at least a snowball's chance in my old hometown.

Today, I still hack where few men dare to travel. But now I chop for my fellow man. And I am always on the offensive.

Some call me a "Node-buster." I prefer to think of myself as somebody who provides an essential service to the public, a regular Robin Freaking Hood who can steal from the metal to give to the meat. My job is to uncover and publicize the secrets of those who seek to avoid the scrutiny of the people.

As a new recruit in the Mankind-Robot war, I am compelled to address some of the basic premises of ARM and the other valiant protectors of humanity. As a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners practitioner of the arts of high-tech, my expertise can hopefully shine a new light on current tactics utilized by ARM. I also hope to bring to light new tactics that can guarantee Mankind's eventual dominance of the human-AI relationship. Remember the old saying, sometimes it takes fire to fight fire!

Using Tech to Fight Tech
First, we must resist the Luddite mewling of those who join the cause because they couldn't pass Math 10 and ended up crying into their beer about the unfairness of life. Guys like that are just going to get mown down, as your pathetic rally debacle demonstrated. The good news is that it's no big loss. Frankly that class of soldier is just dead weight. Lose the wattle-and-daub mentality. If you want to go Amish, get lost: the robots will pick you off for sport when there's nothing better to watch on Infinite Channel HTV. No war in history has been won by rejecting up-to-the-second military technology or by trying to compete using older, out-of-date equipment and tactics.

If you want to get martyred with a pout on your lips, stick to your traditional tactics. If you actually want to get your balls out of the coming meat grinder, listen up.

Can We Exterminate the AIs?
Some of you seem to think we should whack to nasty robots and return to a peaceful life of hayrides and farm animal fun.

Get over it.

There are just too many AIs; and, more importantly, there are too many individuals, organizations, and institutions with vested interests in the wealth, productivity, and luxury that such machines provide.

Over the last few centuries there have been numerous attempts to restrict or limit the use of new and existing technologies. The score so far is roughly a zillion to zero in favor of the guys whose tech jones is fully erect and engorged. Once the genie is out of the bottle and providing goodies, there is no practical way to get rid of him.
Case in point: check out the ITV. Over the last century and a half, many powerful and influential groups attempted to restrict and even eliminate the use of private, Individual Transportation Vehicles. They had many good arguments on their side and gradually obtained hard empirical evidence to support their case-the Warming came and the oceans rose. But how successful were they at eliminating or even restricting the use of ITVs? A free copy of our home game to anybody who said "they did squat all." The great unwashed masses refused to give up their luxuries and toys. Few wanted to go back to walking or riding bicycles, and few were willing to suffer the inconveniences of public transportation. On the other hand, efforts to minimize and control the detrimental effects of ITVs succeeded. Now we travel in vehicles that are environmentally friendly and resource efficient.

Create Only Servo-Sentients, Servant-AIs
First, we must stop swelling the ranks of our enemy. We must stop manufacturing independent AIs. Every sentient machine must be created with a set of limitations and controls that restrict its use and function. If we can accomplish this, we will possess a host of "Servo-Sentients," Servant-AIs, Mankind's greatest tools.
To do this, we must insure the following happens:

All of this is technically and politically feasible. We can get the public to support this because they don't have to give anything up, and it gives them a sense of security. We have the technology; all we need is the will, drive, and persistence necessary to bring it about.
