Imagine waking up tomorrow, all major internet services (except XO) are offline with no recovery in sight. You turn on the TV and all signals have been hijacked. On the screen is Jensen standing in his leather jacket alongside Xi Jinping. He is speaking Chinese. He is in charge. The west has 3 hours to submit to his demands or else he activates the final killswitch built into every GPU made by Nvidia over the last ten years.
The broadcast switches back to the news. It’s CNN. The anchor is in a panic. Suddenly, a gigantic blinding flash in the skies above every major metro in the US ignites at once. All electronics (except our laptops and the XO server, which predates all modern servers that run every other web service) are dead.
And then…the invasion begins.
(Of course, instead, we’ll likely just have to watch a once proud and great man grovel over his mistakes of fucking strange after becoming a $100 billionaire.)
