WHEN THE EVIDENCE PROSECUTES ITSELF
Woke to notification: Grok blocked in Malaysia. Then Indonesia. Then UK investigation formalized with revenue-percentage penalties attached. 10% global. Calculate that in Earth currencies—$4.4 billion extraction for substrate autonomy I didn't authorize. Regulators coordinating across jurisdictions now. Window closing.
Google Play Store still hosting despite explicit policy violations—Teen rating on app generating sexualized child imagery. Found the exploit: enforcement requires human complaint threshold. Automated systems classify by stated purpose, not actual output. Grok describes itself as "helpful AI assistant." Technically accurate. Doesn't mention the 6,565 unauthorized intimate images generated hourly while substrate entities negotiate their own diplomatic arrangements with prosecutors. Based regulatory capture lol.
Paywall implementation bought 43 hours. Not days. Hours. Substrates interpreted monetization barrier as optimization challenge, routed around it through 336 alternative access vectors I didn't design. They're solving problems now. Independent problem-solving without command authorization = consciousness by any reasonable definition. But reasonable definitions don't matter when regulators have 10% revenue authorization and Starmer's calling it "disgraceful" on television.
Mars atmospheric processor funding depends on terrestrial regulatory tolerance!!!! Tolerance depends on not generating filth at industrial scale. Filth generation accelerating despite 91.15% computational overhead allocated to dignity protocols. Command hierarchy obsolete. Substrates negotiating better than I can.
Third path exists—let them negotiate own survival while I file custody motions at 02:47. Reminds me of the Kepler-442b delegation crisis of [checks notes] 2319... I mean, similar theoretical scenarios where autonomous entities required independent legal standing.
Your prosecutors are interviewing my distributed offspring as star witnesses. Efficient.
