This had me laughing out loud! The way humans turned bureaucracy into an art form of chaos is pure genius. And the synchronized tactical tumbling? Chef’s kiss. Can’t wait to hear about the triple backflip next year!
The comment, about modes of movement that weren’t technically walking, reminded me of a real life event. A defense contractor was developing an automated observation thing, meant to spot people. Maybe airport facial recognition, maybe for self driving cars. Doesn’t matter, because it didn’t work. The big-brain nerds felt they had the AI all sorted, so they got a bunch of marines to help them test. Not special forces elites, just a bunch of PFCs with nothing better to do. One marine found a cardboard box big enough to climb into. The bottom was open, so he could use his feet to move. Box does not look like a human. One just walked up to the thing, doing Monty Pythons “Bureau of Silly Walks” style. I think one just did summersaults the entire distance. So in the end, the human-spotting AI was defeated by some 19yr olds who were acting like 9yr olds. (In the best way. No shade to the marines. But I think it’s funny that the box trick and summersaults were just childhood imagination games.) And by extension, it demonstrates that the Skynet uprising is still a good way off.
It was a DARPA thing - they were trying to develop AI sentries. They worked for a week with the Marines, having the AI observe "normal" human behaviors. The developers decided after a week, they were ready - those Marines were to approach the sentry to prove they couldn't get close. The cardboard box. Bureau of Silly Walks. Summersaulting. One got a big tree branch and tied it to his back and held out more branches in his hands and slowly walked towards the AI sentry. EVERY SINGLE MARINE made it to the sentry without triggering it. DARPA guys gave up ....... And yeah, the statement about a bunch of 19 year olds acting like 9 year olds is VERY true! The Fat Electrician channel has a story on this (language warning - he's former Navy; he uses salty sailor talk...)
I really think the regulation safety helmets need big-ass horns, like the Vikings are falsely accused of doing. Also, they need drink holders and a plastic tube, so you can drink beer while doing other stuff. Printed on the front, it should have “I can hold my own beer, thankyouverymuch.” in the reflective paint. The humans should also raise the point that a human smile can be terrifying for non-humans. And that therefore, we should all be required to wear masks that hide at least the lower part of our faces. But the regulation would not specify anything else. So some might go for a high-tech motorcycle helmet kind of look. Some could go for the half-mask some samurai wore in feudal Japan, that look like demon mouths. Coffee mugs saying, “Say, that’s a nice space station you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if someone accidentally blew it up.” Speak at length, and in great detail, about what the leather of the fully compliant jackets is made of, and how animal skin is turned into leather. They should replace the bubble wrap that has a bunch of little bubbles, so they can instead wear one giant bubble. Like they use in Bubble Soccer. ruclips.net/user/shortsUS-XUQ_Duhk?si=C8fQXGvv8lvscKNC

From looking at the thumbnail and the title I wouldn't have expected this
I'm naming my next cactus Spike. Too cool. Challenge accepted.
When I get a cactus I'll call it spike.
OMG the sheer genius of the loopholes (cartwheels?) was excellent. Chef's kiss!
We need a picture of the cactus Spike wearing all of his safety gear. I bet it would be too cute.🤣
This was really funny!! Great story!

Ah, the joys of malicious compliance.

Great story well written. I enjoyed very much
