@dearlove Ideally the spell does it deniably, eg. by giving them an aneurysm or an unfortunate fall from a Moscow apartment window or something not obviously magically-induced. At one per day, in one week we could get rid of Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and quite probably Vladimir Putin and a couple of other deplorables. I'd call that a job well done!
The snag is, what if the spell has no termination clause and keeps going. After a few years we run out of billionaires …

SF STORY PREMISE:
SETI program decodes an alien signal clearly targeting us.
Hi! We see you're still facing the Great Filter! We want to help! Based on your anatomy per broadcasts we decoded, here is a blueprint for a device that will solve your problem!
Humans: decode blueprint.
It's for an improved guillotine.
@cstross I appreciate that the aliens have read our internet and decided to simultaneously threaten and troll the ruling class.

@cstross the biggest help is telling us what the great filter is
@fishidwardrobe @cstross The Epstein class.

@cstross Don't go there, murder is already so normalised and so attractive for its catharsis.
We absolutely must push for expropriation of excess wealth, and a just reckoning for hoarders who undermined society. But what happened to a progressive movement that was optimistic about humanity and against capital punishment?
@seachaint @cstross Nah. We aren't voting our way out of this.

This is a good short story and I am kinda tempted to do it as like a 4p comic.

Then you have to tune its frequency to billionaires.

I read an SF story years ago where the decoded signal was an alien phishing scam.
@davidtheeviloverlord @RevPancakes @cstross “We’ve been trying to reach you about your auto insurance.”

"Takes us to your leader" does hit differently when the aliens show up with a guillotine.
Me, to the aliens with the guillotine: "One sec, I need to look up the address to Mara Lago."

@cstross Slightly reminds me of this story fron the 80s version of The Twilight Zone.

Attivisti, giornalisti, oppositori politici e in generale chiunque venga ritenuto una minaccia per i governi, potrebbero essere nelle mire di chi controlla e monitora i dati raccolti, mettendo quindi a rischio libertà civili e strutture sociali.

Tra quarantotto ore sapremo se la legge sarà ancora uguale per tutti o se verrà pilotata da alcuni.

Das war‘s mit Manga Issho 4 und ja, die fünfte Ausgabe ist schon erschienen (gerade dieses Wochenende auf der Leipziger Buchmesse 😅).
Vielleicht schaffe ich es bei der sie zu reviewen bevor die nächste rauskommt.

Nota interessante:
quel sito è considerato gioco d'azzardo, un sito di scommesse illegale in Italia.ma non negli USA dove è considerato un sito di investimenti (così da non deve rispettare le leggi sul gioco d'azzardo, che negli USA sono di competenza statale e non federale, e molto rigide visto il puritanesimo di facciata americano).
