Andrew Lewis Workshop@Extelec @neil it will work if you have a sufficient ram, eweSB access, and enough resources to populate a multi-dimensional field. Unfortunately you'll have to execute Lamb-da functions after they've been in the field with resources for a while, or they'll start to hogget. This is if course assuming you're not intending to keep the Lamb-da functions running for threading purposes. If that's the case you'll need to look into baa-lock and refleece protocols.

ShadSterling@freshstart @neil the actual Electric Sheep screensaver does seem to be largely unmaintained, maybe we should all be using LibreSheep…
LuzrBum@neil @freshstart but LibreSheep is maintained by furries…
Protofox Riley@neil firmware is only installable via a hub that also needs to be purchased and registered with the manufacturer who has gone out of business since your purchase so no longer exists.
@neil I.... think I never actually read the original story. been on my list for years. decades. for some reason I never got to it
Geoff Coffey@DrorBedrack @neil The irony is the story kind of deals with this. Decker’s electric sheep is not as good as a real sheep and is a lousy fussy fake. He’s ashamed of it.
(Also, yeah, there’s a literal electric sheep in his front yard.)

Also, there's an ongoing lawsuit against OpenSheep by someone who bought a dubious share of the Electric Sheep I.P. Assets once.

Carlos Solís@neil The unrealistic part is assuming OpenSheep will be even allowed to be installed on the Electric Sheep to begin with. Or whether the TPM cheep (couldn't avoid the pun) will break upon jailbreaking the firmware

Mathias Panzenböck@neil Because of conflicts among the maintainers OpenSeep was forked as LibreSheep. Which shall I use? Oh and there is this incomplete reimplantation RustSheep. Is that any good?

Karl Auerbach@neil At Interactive Systems (first commercial Unix company) we had a story line:
A message is finally received from deep space.
After a massive decoding effort the message is found to say: "Life 1.0 has been found to have a fatal and non-repairable flaw. Life 2.0 is now available. All instances of Life 1.0 will be destroyed."

@neil You reminded me of this lovely story of a sheepdog who, confused by a robotic lawnmower, eventually decided this was a strange kind of sheep and learned to herd it:
TerryB@neil 'cept step 3 can be forgotten- the firmware update might be needed for safety reasons, but won't be available to existing devices, you must buy Electric Sheep V2 which will rely on 24/7 connection to a remote server to function. And which will then be discontinued and the server closed.
MattJohns@neil To continue using Electric Sheep you will need to update your device so that it can run the latest version of Electric Sheep AI, a continuous Hypernet Connection, (no VPN's or Proxies), a monthly subscription to Electric Sheep Online and agree to provide us with access to your personal and usage data for the purposes of improving Electric Sheep AI.
