Looking at the map of Singapore there are lots of islands around it (Singapore was probably chosen as a reference datum because libertarians like it and it's a big transport hub). Most of the islands seem to be Indonesian territory.

This is a really controversial claim, heavily pushed by supporters of Assad and Putin. No-one seems to have been interested in claiming the 100K this time so they're happy to be calling this "resolved".

As long as he's writing collab forum pr0n and not hindering the creation of the Acausal Robot God, it's all good.

The real fear here is AGI appears and it's COMMUNISM. Hence, alignment!
