Re: Comment my megacorporation
Watcher implies watching with hostile intent; that's why it's a form of Enemy. The fashion industry press that eagerly reports every new outfit from a famous designer is not acting as an Enemy.

Sounds good enough. In fact, any idea that allows companies to merge will serve. I prefer that they deal with the conquest of Antarctica later. Last edited by Alonsua; 01-11-2019 at 09:24 AM. |

You need to decide. Either they are openly TL 10/11 and sell such tech, in which case the whole world is fast following, or they keep their research secret and they cannot benefit from the PR and revenues.

Re: Comment my megacorporation
Genesis offers health services and pharmaceutical products, as well as other products that it can control, such as androids, artificial intelligences, virtual reality consoles and suits or electric power, and exploits other technologies to produce benefits, like the robotic manufacture or the biofabrication of human organs and other tissues. If it is possible to have a space program without the states putting their noses in, they also dominate space mining, otherwise that economic sector will have to wait. In any case it will take a few centuries to reproduce Genesis products by reverse engineering.

Here is what I asked: "You didn't say who provided them or how they were obtained (noting that the value of the company immediately after the merger seems to have been $120B, what revenue evidence/expectations supported the loan applications) . Also, hundreds of billions could be 200 or 900, can be you be more specific? Finally, how much remains outstanding on them, and what is/was the average of the carrying interest rate?" If you don't want to actually discuss the subject, why did you post? Quote:

2. Yes, it hasnt got workers like those. 3. Then I didnt understand the question. 4. Who provided what? The funding? By that level banks and investors were enough, and there is not much of a debt left, unless they get to ask the 6 trillion dollars out of the international community. If they get that money its about 6%. 5. Lets make it a supervoting structure then to get it easy. 6. Quick contest here. 7. Yes, -5 for the basic business and -10 for anything that needs to be kept secret. |

That leaves aside the question of not just why but HOW this megacorp is setting up a research base on Antarctica without drawing a lot of scrutiny for the massive amounts of materiel that would be required, from the Southern Hemisphere countries claiming sectors of the Antarctic and from the superpowers who would be keenly interested in that movement of people and property. You can't snap your fingers and make the base appear overnight.

If you are envisioning a company that is creating artificial living humanoid beings, it is going to have an incredibly negative Reputation among huge numbers of people—with some, for blasphemy; with some, for creating a slave race; with some, for threatening human dominance. You are likely to have to deal with what Dungeons and Dragons called the Angry Villager Rule. If it's creating human-shaped machines, the reaction will be much less, but such beings also make much less use of its core competencies.
