@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

electricity water clean air knowledge

you name it

they should be treated like the common thieves they are

Strange how belief in fundamental privacy rights appears old fashioned nowadays. Privacy, discretion, the option for differentiation between private & public realms are essential for individual freedoms of choice which means freedom for everyone. Let's bring privacy back! Let's celebrate privacy!

I don't have too much sympathy for Anthropic since they stole all creative writing they could (including one of my books) to build their AI with a settlement of pennies. Still there seems to be an eerie pyramid net of 'bigger powers=bigger evil' in AI/surveillance that we must all battle against.

Ilhan Omar: “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability—

Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions & push the region further into chaos — every time we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction”

$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?

Priorities.

'Proactive in a defensive way' is a whole new category of illegal war going a step further than the already illegal 'pre-emptive strike'. Who are these people ...?!

When its structures & mechanisms have become vehicles for increasingly abusive cycles run by the very few, perhaps a rethinking of the entire functioning and purpose of democracy is highly called for?

That was yesterday:

Isn't it rather noteworthy that the Iran attacks- that evidently were set in motion now to distract from the Epstein power-network child abuse revelations - immediately w precision weapons hit a school killing scores of girls? Coincidence, or dark kind of warning to Epstein victims not to talk ??

This war against IRAN has nothing to do with nuclear weapons, nor democracy or human rights, but all to do with Israel's desire to dominate the region, that the Trump administration for reasons we can only speculate in, feels called to participate in. ... All support to the Iranian people ...

I was at the Baftas – and while hearing the N-word was unsettling, all anger should be aimed at the BBC | Jason Okundaye By failing to remove John Davidson’s tic from the broadcast, editors let down both black and disabled people, says Guardian assistant Opinion editor Jason Okundaye

Agree: Aim the anger where it's due - and nowhere else ...

Re-reading Plato's Symposium: ... sounds like there's an awakening to be!

"Teller also draws attention to the importance of survival instincts by showing how quickly actions that were previously considered unthinkable can become acceptable." 3/3

"An example of this is in 'Lord of the Flies' when they kill Simon without anyone noticing what they're doing. And at the end of 'Nothing', the scene where they jump on each other and set fire to the pile of meaning, causing the death of Pierre Anthon." 2/3

Still feeling honored when my novel 'Nothing' is compared to Golding's 'Lord of the Flies'. Kilter.hu: "In both works group think, or mass psychosis, play a major role, which causes personal identity to disappear and the collective will to take over." 1/3

People are waking up to the importance of limiting the reach of AI ... It's possible to break the nets of power!

Isn't there a law in Spain that you can charge a foreign leader for crimes against humanity? And as it appears the UN is now considering the Epstein-circle network of abuse for 'crimes against humanity', it should be possible to charge Trump in Spanish courts?

A very large, very layered, very powerful, and very evil spider network - with poisonous reaches far beyond its horrid centre to oblivious every day people ... Must be stopped.

A convicted child predator moved freely among presidents and billionaires. The Epstein files don’t resolve a scandal—they expose a system where victims were delayed, evidence redacted, and power endured without accountability.

Trump refuses to apologize for video with racist imagery of Obamas posted on his social media Only a smattering of Republicans spoke out about clip in which Obamas’ faces were superimposed on bodies of apes

For every article about Trump's new bigot (yes horrendous yet not deeply criminal) video of the Obamas, there's one article less uncovering his much too close connection to Epstein's crime-regime ... He's always operating. Don't be manipulated. Focus ...

The criminal elite exposed in the Epstein files are burying the truth A handful of figures will be sacrificed - but only to protect a wider culture that believes rules don't apply to the ruling elite

The womanosphere urges dubious followers to back ICE: ‘Don’t let compassion cloud you’ Conservative figures such as Riley Gaines and Allie Beth Stuckey are urging their followers to ward off empathy for victims of ICE’s crackdown

When fascism is run from the living rooms of the new womanosphere, the culture shift to a dark lack of humanity, oxtracization and bullying has a very dangerous fertile ground - reminiscent of Nazisms 'Kirche, Küche und Kinder' that's been undelible in Germany www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
