[UA] God in the Machine

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

For all those curious:

KIBO
* Acronym] Knowledge In, Bullshit Out. A summary of what happens whenever
valid data is passed through an organization (or person) that deliberately
or accidentally disregards or ignores its significance. Consider, for
example, what an advertising campaign can do with a product's actual
specifications. Compare GIGO; see also SNAFU principle. 2. James Parry , a
Usenetter infamous for various surrealist net.pranks and an uncanny,
machine-assisted knack for joining any thread in which his nom de guerre is
mentioned.

-Rus
Knowledge is power.
Power corrupts.
Study hard,
be evil.
