Topic Review: Megacorps
#35
Quote:- Who the first SI:2 entities affiliated themselves with: the 1st Fed or some megacorp? Both? If the first SI:2 were corporate beings, they could outsmart the Federation's SI:1s and give their corporation an edge that the 1st Fed wouldn't be able to properly handle until they themselves developed SI:2.

Well, IIRC the first S2 was created inside "cyberuniversities", so probably the trick was more or less common knowledge among the S1 involved and that probably explain the rise of many S2 a bit later. This probably means that the FF and the megacorps were more or less on even ground IMHO.

Quote:- Why did the transapients grew disinterested with the First Federation? Were megacorps more attractive for transaps? And on a modosophont POV, they also felt the same? If so, did a sort of "human capital flight" event happened, where highly trained & qualified entities immigrated to Megacorps to work/live for them? And lastly, what made a megacorp more attractive than the 1st Federation?

I was planning to explore this a bit in my article in the light of the Xi Geminorum ascending to S3 even before the first S2s in the FF (GAIA apart, of course) and explain it as a more risk-oriented behavior from the megacorporations to get on pair with the Xi's AIs, which were presumed hostile, against a more conservative FF's mindset against risky research in the field of toposhopics (again, GAIA).
Sounds good?


Quote:- With SI:2 tech, couldn't the representative AI of a high level megacorps eventually be made or upgraded to a transapient level (or an arbitrary level which is more advanced than the state-of-art fedrep)?

I'd assume that the AI's leading the megacorps were already among the best of their ranks and thus in the best position to leap towards the S2 status.
