The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 458 The People Who Should Disappear

In the central computer room of the Coast Building surrounded by staircases on four sides, several engineers from IBM are busy installing supercomputers.

Huge cabinets fill one underground computer room after another. Some of them are water-cooled, and a complete water circulation system needs to be established.

Hawke put on his helmet and came over to take a look.

Harland, who was accompanying him, introduced: "This is the Blue Gene supercomputer officially released by IBM last year. Each cabinet contains 1024 processors, and a single cabinet costs as much as 200 million US dollars."

This supercomputer was ordered at a high price using special funding from Congress after the AI ​​Manhattan Project was passed last year.

Hawke had limited knowledge of specific technologies and parameters, so he asked, "What are the specific functions?"

Harland thought about it and found the most appropriate analogy: "The supercomputer that the Federal Nuclear Safety Administration purchased from IBM last year was not as powerful as ours."

Hawke reminded: "After the installation is completed, do a safety check."

IBM's on-site supervisor, Lister, came over, shook hands with Hawke and said hello, then began to sell the computer on the spot: "IBM is already researching and developing a new generation of supercomputers, code-named Roadrunner, which is designed to have performance far exceeding that of Blue Gene."

Hawke asked directly: "Which year will it be available on the market?"

Lister had read about the AI ​​Manhattan Project and knew that Twitter would be an extremely important customer of IBM in the future. He said, "If everything goes well, it will be at the earliest by the end of 2008."

Hawke said, "You can contact us then."

"Sure, sure." Lister took out his business card and handed it to Hawke with both hands: "We can strengthen our cooperation."

Because what Twitter purchased from IBM was not only a supercomputer, but also a large number of servers.

Hawke took his business card and followed him into the two installed machine rooms, listening to Lister's introduction to the relevant situation.

The supercomputer will be installed and debugged tomorrow morning.

Hawke took a turn and returned to the office to finish the work at hand. Edward came in from outside.

He said, “The selected people have already gone to San Francisco with Betty and Juan.”

Hawke nodded: "San Francisco has begun to promote a new plan."

"Yes." Edward was about to leave when he remembered something else: "Saint Steve can come over anytime."

Hawke picked up the phone and called Caroline: "Any results?"

Caroline replied, "There are a lot of people selected in the initial screening. I plan to conduct a second screening after the supercomputer is debugged tomorrow."

"Okay." Hawke reminded, "Don't forget your last goal."

Even though Twitter has modeled the person who sent the package to Erica from New York, it has not been able to get any results due to hardware constraints.

After Twitter introduces supercomputers, hardware will no longer be an obstacle for a period of time.

Hawke specifically went to the official Twitter account of the National Association for the Advocate of Colored People and Steve Nutter's personal account to look at the LGBTQ+ propaganda.

Since 2006, both platforms have published LGBTQ+ related content every day, and the vast majority of those appearing on them are from the black community.

Steve also posted on his Twitter: "America is a country that is highly tolerant of culture and ethnicity. The equal rights movement has made great progress in recent years, but there are still some people who have been exiled to the corners of society."

Following are pictures taken from Compton of various monsters and ghosts struggling to survive.

"Whether they are homosexual, bisexual or transgender, they are all part of our society and should enjoy the same rights as normal people, rather than being marginalized and having a hard life."

"Every person is a unique gift from God to the world, and they can shine with extraordinary brilliance in the world. They are always neither humble nor overbearing, and firmly pursue their own equality and dignity."

Steve's reputation and status in the United States are extraordinary. With the special advantages of being the son of a black man, he has always been a true saint in the hearts of equal rights activists.

There is a saying that goes, when people are hungry, the only worry they have is not having enough to eat.

If people are full, countless troubles will come.

America was once a beacon of the world. Many people across the country not only had enough to eat, but many interesting things happened after eating.

Some people are engaged in environmental protection, some are studying hairless black holes, and some are working on equal rights.

In every black movement rally, white people account for nearly half of the crowd, or even more.

Situations like Steve's are not uncommon in America.

Steve's remarks on Twitter received considerable support.

"Everyone should be an equal member of our society."

“These people need to be treated as equals.”

“I call on everyone to understand and accept me.”

Hawke looked through the comments section of many of Steve's tweets, and they were almost all full of support.

According to Twitter's general algorithm, relevant topics will be recommended first to users who are interested in such content.

Normally, such publicity goes smoothly.

But it lacks some explosive points.

Hawke thought about it for a moment, picked up the phone and called Sasha in the newsroom, and said directly: "Saint Steve and the National Association for the Advocate of Colored People are too quiet about the LGBTQ+ content."

Sasha is a veteran of Twitter and has worked with Hawke on sowing discord. She understood immediately: "Pushing this content in front of opponents?"

"Yes, that's it." Hawke was worried that the conflict plan was moving too slowly, so he instructed, "Arrange our trolls to instigate a fight. We must make the two sides fight on Twitter. The more intense the better. It would be best if it could become a hotly discussed topic among all Twitter users, so that the two sides can fight from the Internet to reality."

Sasha was used to doing this kind of work, so she responded, "I know what to do. There will definitely be a fierce conflict between the two groups."

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "Give priority to the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles."

The latter is the basic base, and the former is the city that focuses on key research.

Sasha hung up the phone and immediately made relevant adjustments.

The Donkey Party does not represent white leftists, and the Elephant Party does not mean conservative.

The most typical examples are the current California Governor Schwarzenegger and former Governor Gray Davis.

Schwarzenegger is a representative of the moderates, while Gray Davis is a representative of some conservatives and is a conservative figure among the Donkey Party.

Just as the concepts and support groups of both sides have undergone a 180-degree turn, the support groups on both sides are not static.

Twitter's trolls quietly entered the comment section of Saint Steve's account and left all kinds of insulting remarks about LGBTQ+. On the same day, he was subjected to a crazy siege, and the battle was completely one-sided.

But as time went on, the number of enemies began to increase, and fierce debates broke out between the two sides.

As we all know, on the Internet, even if God descends, one party cannot convince or persuade the other party with the opposite opinion.

One group of Internet trolls can never defeat another group of Internet trolls on the Internet.

Unless a real fight comes up.

Hawke's goal is to bring this battlefield from the Internet into reality.

It would be best if someone died.

In the evening, Brian made an appointment with Hawke to have dinner at Crosos Restaurant.

This is a Spanish-style restaurant famous in Los Angeles for its seafood cuisine.

Hawke ate a red devil shrimp and asked, "Are there any progress on Schwarzenegger's side?"

Brian picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and said, "Paul and my father have communicated with many people. First of all, in Washington, George Walker clearly will not support Schwarzenegger. That is not in their interest. Their first ally in California is the Ferguson family."

He raised his glass, clinked it with Hawke's, and said, "Although he has been the governor for more than two years, Schwarzenegger is a political novice who came to power. His foundation is shallow, and his greatest asset lies in his own appeal. This sudden crisis of public opinion has offset the reputation he has built up as a Hollywood star for twenty years."

Hawke put down his glass and picked up the bottle to pour wine: "Who was the biggest capital supporter when Schwarzenegger came to power last time?"

Brian smiled. "One side is Pacific Investment Group and the Ferguson family. The other side is the Silicon Valley forces led by eBay founder Meg Whitman. The other side is part of Hollywood's capital." Hawke has some dealings with Silicon Valley and said, "I heard from Peter Thiel that a considerable number of people in Silicon Valley support Schwarzenegger."

The capital in Silicon Valley is also divided into many factions, and the positions of factions are constantly changing according to their own interests, and they rarely support any particular group of people.

Brian said: "Maria talked to Meg Whitman and they have decided to give up Schwarzenegger because I can bring them new income."

Hawke suddenly had an idea: "Then you can formulate preferential policies to encourage Internet companies in Silicon Valley to introduce a large number of Indian IT elites."

Brian and Hawke are so familiar with each other that he knows he is setting a trap. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "In the IT industry in Silicon Valley, Indians have already occupied many positions, and the number is still increasing. If we give them a little push from behind, Indians will take over key positions in many Silicon Valley companies."

He looked at Hawke and said, "Are you sure that Indians will hinder the development of a company?"

Hawke thought for a moment and said simply, "When I left Wyoming and traveled around North America, I came into contact with many Indians. Except for a few rare cases, most of them are unreliable. You can never guess what strange methods they will use to complete their work. The Indian firefighters during the Los Angeles fire are typical examples."

Brian laughed and said, "Indians played a role in my success in becoming the mayor of Los Angeles."

Hawke agreed: "Without those Indians fighting fire with fire in windy weather, maybe the Los Angeles fire wouldn't have burned into Santa Monica."

Suddenly, he thought of a good entrepreneurial project.

There is an infestation of green-maned lizards in Florida. After a few years, I can sell the lizards from there to Silicon Valley and open a special store called Sansao. The business should be pretty good.

Brian added: "Of course, Schwarzenegger still has some support behind him. It would be hard to make him step down on his own initiative just by relying on public opinion."

Hawke said without hesitation: "At this stage, a split between the two sides is inevitable."

It can be said that this was an open conspiracy.

From the day Bryan sought the governorship, the two sides were on opposite sides.

The Gunman Mills incident has broken out and there is no room for easing.

Hawke said softly, "It's hard to count how many times Schwarzenegger cheated on his wife, but you should have heard about the incident where he had an affair with his own fat nanny. From what I heard, the fat nanny gave birth to Schwarzenegger's illegitimate child."

Brian couldn't understand: "Why do these male stars in Hollywood like to have women as housekeepers? In order to prevent housekeepers, their wives are usually of average or ugly appearance, but it still can't stop these guys from rushing up."

Hawke had seen the photo on the news in his previous life. He couldn't remember the exact appearance of the nanny, but he had the impression that she was quite ugly.

I can only say that it’s great that Hollywood male stars like this.

Brian understood what Hawke wanted to say: "We are exposing Schwarzenegger's illegitimate child scandal?"

"It's not us, it's the San Francisco media." Hawke reminded: "No matter which media exposes these scandals, Schwarzenegger will suspect that it was us, but he is not a fool. He must have doubts about San Francisco. The bastards in San Francisco can drag us down, and we will also drag them down."

Brian agreed: "Let's do this. I will arrange for someone to go to San Francisco tonight to contact several media outlets there and sell the news to them."

Hawke was curious and asked, "Do you have relevant information?"

"Last time you reminded me, Paul had someone find the mother and son and take photos of them." Brian had already made preparations: "He also got the nanny's bank account number and obtained evidence of Schwarzenegger's money transfer a few years ago."

He said: "The illegitimate child is now ten years old, and his appearance alone easily reminds people of Schwarzenegger."

Hawke nodded slightly: "Send it as soon as possible. The water in California is already muddy. The muddier the better. Only when the water is muddy can we catch fish."

Brian said: "I have discovered that the more chaotic the social situation is, the more favorable it is for a political newcomer like me."

Hawke clinked glasses with him: "Man, we've thrown America into complete chaos."

"Okay!" Brian drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. "Let's be agents of chaos together."

After Hawke came out of the restaurant and got in the car, he received a call from Megan.

Megan said: "The shows you mentioned will be aired tonight, a series of documentaries."

Hawke let Raul drive, then said, "Looks like I'll make it in time."

Megan took the initiative to invite: "Isn't Erica on a business trip? Come to Brentwood, Caroline and I will watch it with you."

How could he refuse such an invitation? Hawke responded, "Give me twenty minutes."

He patted the driver's seat: "To Brentwood."

In less than half an hour, the Mercedes drove into Caroline's villa in Brentwood.

Caroline's house is next to Megan's, and both sides have a side door for easy travel.

Hawke entered the living room.

Caroline, who has a slender figure, is leaning on the big American girl Megan, watching TV together.

Hawke sat between the two and noticed that "Trump News" on Fox 11 had already started.

The host Aisha is introducing today's news topic.

Caroline pushed Megan aside and went to get some fruit.

Hawke's energy is mainly focused on the show.

The show's name comes from him, it's called We Are All the Same.

After the title, there is a rainbow flag representing the so-called special groups.

The content of the first episode mainly shows the living conditions of the black demons and monsters in Compton.

The current version is just the beginning and has not yet been upgraded to the point where there are so many genders or self-identification as something.

Although this is a documentary news program, the so-called facts are all selectively shot and edited.

The audience can only see what the media wants them to see.

Things are better in the Internet age, but just like what Hawke did on Twitter, online media can also manipulate public opinion.

So, judging from "We Are All the Same", these monsters are all born this way, forced to do so, endure being looked down upon, wanting to integrate into society and so on.

All positive images.

Caroline then said: "This is completely different from what I know."

Megan simply said: "If you want mainstream society, at least some people have to accept them before they can play a role."

Caroline said: "I have done a statistical analysis using Twitter data. Even if we estimate this group to be at most 3% of the U.S. population, can it really unleash the power expected?"

"The energy they can unleash is beyond your imagination." Hawke held one of them with one hand and said, "When a group of people who are at the edge of society and should be eliminated by the laws of nature suddenly stand at the center of this country's population and become the absolute protagonists, their mentality will experience a huge shock. They will definitely want to shine and take back what society owes them over the years. They will use all their strength to make themselves continue to be the absolute protagonists of society and avoid falling back to their original appearance."

Megan mentioned a similar profession: "Those popular showbiz stars."

Hawke opened his mouth and ate the grapes that Caroline had peeled, and continued, "What they do will clash with traditional forces, and this country and society will become extremely lively."

If these people really come to power, their actions could destroy the foundations of a country and society.

Hawke remembers that the former squids were actively promoting this sport.

What will America look like in the future?
Hawke is looking forward to it.

The three chatted about the show for a while, and Megan opened her mouth to Caroline: "I want to eat too."

Caroline ignored her: "Get it yourself."

Megan dragged Hawke up and said, "The show is over, let's go upstairs, don't take her with you."

Caroline bared her white fangs: "This is in my house!"

Hawke dragged one of them with each hand and walked towards the stairs: "Stop arguing, let's go upstairs together. I'll let you eat until you're full."

On the other side, Brian contacted someone and headed to San Francisco overnight. (End of this chapter)
