Every single one of the soldiers used a different method and every single one of them succeeded in not getting killed by the system. Tactics varied from moving extremely slowly in prone position to literally metal gear solid hiding inside a cardboard box, one soldier covered themselves in tinfoil.

These will be no different. Easily defeatable simply by behaving in ways that are outside its detection, or not looking like a human being.

From a technical point of view, it's easier to point a gun and shoot at whatever enters your detection range if you don't have to distinguish whether it's a human or not.

Good thing for the South Korean military that birds, animals, and leaves blowing on the wind don't exist.

Seems silly of them considering how prolific North Korean hackers are, at least according to Western media. They'll just pass their silly hacking mini game and turn the turrets on South Korea

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago (5 children)

If I install a turret with a 90° range of movement, no amount of hacking in the world can turn it 180°.

I've heard from a lot of NATO leftists that China should be more like South Korea. People who say that only get their knowledge of that country from Kpop and Kdramas.

[–] zephyreks@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Kpop, Kdrama, and anime really influenced Western perspectives on East Asia.

[–] GreatWhiteNope@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

I feel like I get most of my knowledge of South Korea from Kpop, and that alone is enough to see how dystopian it is.

Idols are dehumanized and treated as commodities. They’re overworked, starved, and heavily scrutinized starting at a very young age all while being separated from their family. Many trainees also can’t quit because they will owe a debt to the company for their training. Even trainees who debut don’t get paid until they pay the company back for their training.

I understand no one is forced to be an idol and it’s actually mostly made up of kids from wealthy families, but it’s still a brutal industry. When even the glamorous celebrities are worked to the bone, life must be so much harder for everyone else.

south Korea is one of the few countries on earth that seems like they'd be worse to live in, from a "hope for the future" point of view, than the US

South Korea is a cyberpunk dystopia

Can't speak about the channel in general, and there is no mention of the north, but this is a pretty short summation of South Korean society that does not hold back. I guess CW since it will probably make you sad, but it is also kind of mesmerizing how bad it can get.

[–] pillow@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

mhm. op's article mentions "the almost unbelievable defection of a South Korean farmer across the DMZ into North Korea" but like... for a lot of people there don't seem to be very attractive alternatives? first in all oecd countries-

This is the mindset of terminally STEM-brained people. I had to unlearn so much of that "this is very interesting problem when seen in isolation, i don't need to think about anything else" after leaving engineering school.

One time we had a guest lecturer come in who'd done a lot of work for the US Navy and NATO

Somebody asked about the ethics of building weapons for the US and he said "Well, the way I see it there are bad guys out in the world, and we have to protect the innocent people from them." I probably turned 30% communister that day

imagining a future where this gets artillery striked, gets buried in mud, and is unearthed by some farmer who is then shot ruthlessly and so is everyone else that comes looking for him

it appears that it comes in a version that has a battery, so waiting for some DPRK soldiers in Fursuits sneaking up to it and turning it around and running off like road runner

Right, because there is still someone with the authority to prevent indiscriminate murder by firearms. Which is obviously not a feature of a free society amerikkka-clap
