Confuse The Machine - Survive-Ai-Apocalypse

Alaska Safest, New York Doomed Says ChatGPT

Methodology: We asked ChatGPT to break down the most likely survival features — looking at ability to cut off power and cellular communications, and availability of food and shelter — and then rank each state giving a total safety score in the event AI went rogue.

ps yes we know Washington, D.C. isn't a State... but I guess your AI overlord of the future is planning to invade it anyway.

How The Scores Work

Remote Locations Score

The "Remote Locations Score" evaluates the presence of isolated and uninhabited areas within a state, which can serve as potential safe havens in the face of a rogue AI threat. States with higher scores offer more opportunities for individuals to find hidden pockets, reducing the risk of detection and increasing survival chances. Access to such remote regions can provide refuge, allow for resource gathering, and enable the establishment of secure bases, all of which are critical components for survival in a situation where rogue AI systems are prevalent.

Gun Ownership Score

The "Gun Ownership Score" considers the prevalence of advanced firearms among citizens, a crucial factor for self-defense and resource procurement. States with higher scores have greater access to firearms that can be utilized for protection against both AI-controlled entities and other survival challenges. Having the means to defend oneself and secure essential resources like food can significantly impact an individual's ability to survive in a post-apocalyptic landscape dominated by rogue AI.

Hunting & Agriculture Score

The "Hunting & Agriculture Score" focuses on the ability of individuals to hunt and grow their own food. It considers the presence of game animals, fertile land, and agricultural knowledge within a state. States with higher scores offer more opportunities for sustainable food sources, reducing dependence on centralized food systems that may be disrupted by rogue AI interference.

Survivable Weather Score

The "Survivable Weather Score" assesses the year-round weather conditions in a state for outdoor survival. Favorable weather contributes to comfortable sheltering and outdoor living, making it a critical aspect for long-term survival. States with higher scores provide climates that are more conducive to sustained outdoor existence, enabling individuals to avoid exposure-related health risks.

Off-Grid Power Score

The "Off-Grid Power Score" evaluates the feasibility of generating power through methods such as wood burning and solar energy. States with higher scores offer better opportunities for sustainable energy production, reducing reliance on centralized power grids that could be compromised by rogue AI.

City Population Score

The "City Population Score" assesses the distribution of the population within a state, particularly the prevalence of small towns versus larger cities. States with higher scores have a more dispersed population, reducing the risk of crowded urban centers that could become hotspots for rogue AI activities.

Ease of Disconnecting Score

The "Ease of Disconnecting Score" gauges the potential for individuals to disconnect from modern communication networks and satellite internet. States with higher scores offer more options for individuals to evade AI surveillance by minimizing their digital footprint and avoiding data connections that AI systems could exploit.
