If there is no physical barrier to making millions of forks, how come noone has thus far created some millions of alpha forks and taken over?
Rules might discourage forking but what hinders it in the setting?
This might be more problematic now but earlier in the timeline fewer were uploaded.
If you created a lot of alpha forks of yourself you would have a definite advantage.
Most people wouldn't want alpha forks but it only takes one person who is willing.
Rules might punish forking but what hinders it in the setting?
In a sense what im asking is how do you prevent a grey goo like scenario with Forking?
