Just look at it.
So when will we be seeing T-shirts with such designs in the boing boing store?
Headline from 2025: “Incidents of Toaster-Perpetrated Terrorism at All-Time High”
Subhed: “BananaPAC Celebrates Vindicating Evidence.”
I wonder if you could design a patch that could be placed on any street sign that would consistently mess with self-driving car AI (maybe by turning all roads into 10mph speed zones or autobahns).
Just look at them.
Look at what?
WHAT?

At least somebody is willing to acknowledge how the BBS works. Very funny, guys!
Apply these patches in the correct pattern and you get the DRM to start fighting with the AI.
Those headlines are already here, complete with commentary.
We may also hope that transitivity obtains. Those turtle helicopters are becoming a nuisance.

Already a plot device in one of Gibson’s books:
