Does your bank really know you? 🏦🤔

💎 In this video snippet, we dive into how much data financial institutions actually have on us versus the complete picture of our lives. While most people use upwards of 10 to 23 different financial providers (from insurance to loans and credit cards), primary banks usually see less than 3% of your overall personal data!

With concepts like the Quantified Self and Digital Twins rising, gathering personal data across health, lifestyle, and financial habits allows for smarter optimization in work and daily life. But when it comes to banking, they’re only seeing a fraction of the bigger picture.

🤔 What do you think? Should banks leverage broader personal data to give better services, or is data privacy the top priority? Share your thoughts in the comments! 👇

@CEO_AISOMA Apparently, some people are. Those who make a substantial profit from it, and those who cannot grasp the complex implications.

The Nobel peace prize was just awarded to the UN official that found Israel guilty of an ongoing genocide

An extraordinary turning point & a vindication of everyone who stood against Israel's atrocities in Gaza!

Isn’t it strange how, when you start being paid by private companies instead of elected by the public, the people become the “mob”?

Palantir’s record deserves scrutiny – from politicians and the public.

حين ينهار المسعف أمام الكاميرا، لا يكون المشهد مجرد بكاء.

في الطب، المسعف آخر من يُسمح له بالانهيار، لأن ثانية واحدة من تردده قد تكلّف انساناً حياته.

أنا عملت في المجال الطبي، وأعرف أن الطواقم تُدرب على إخفاء الانهيار حتى اكمال المهمة.

فحين يعجز المسعف عن ذلك، فالمشكلة لم تعد في قلبه، بل في حجم ما يُطلب منه أن يشهده كل يوم: جرحى بلا أدوات، ونداءات بلا سيارات، وناس ينتظرون دورهم وهم يعلمون أنه قد لا يصل.

لا تنظروا إلى دموعه بشفقة، بل بوصفها شهادة.. هي أصدق تقرير عن حال غزة اليوم.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The more you unravel this story, the louder the alarm bells sound.

Need I remind everyone that Jared Kushner is NOT A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE?

He’s a non-government employee responsible for negotiating deals in the Middle East and the Ukraine-Russia War, and he has this position because he’s the President’s son-in-law.

He’s also the textbook definition of conflict of interest.

Kushner’s private equity firm is backed by BILLIONS from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, at the same time that he’s the Saudi point man. He has contractual responsibilities to deliver for his donors in the Middle East, but he’s responsible for U.S. diplomacy there?

The New Yorker also obtained a document from European intelligence suggesting that business deals benefiting Trump’s circle were on the table during negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

How can the Trump Administration insist that Kushner’s private businesses and diplomatic work do not conflict with each other when he is asking foreign governments for private equity money while negotiating with them at the same time?

Kushner is not a career diplomat. He’s not on the payroll. What, in the world, is he doing negotiating some of the world’s front-most conflicts?

"Deberíamos haber hecho en Gaza, lo que EEUU hizo en Nagasaki, hubiéramos terminado con todo y la película de Naza nunca hubiera salido, la gente nos hubiera apoyado. Nuestro enemigo no es Hamás, es Gaza, cada bebé que nacerá mañana".

Moshe Feiglin, mano derecha de Smotrich en las próximas elecciones y futuro diputado del parlamento de "Israel", un sionazi desquiciado que pide matar bebés palestinos y lanzar bombas nucleares sobre Gaza.

Este es el reflejo de una sociedad colonial enferma, que harán lo que haga falta para robarle las tierras a los nativos, un verdadero agujero de nazis supremacistas como este Hitler de origen ruso disfrazado con kipá.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

I guess this is what happens when AIPAC-AI writes your talking points without any human in the chain to check for basic humanity.

David Valadao (R-CA-22) literally says that military aid to Israel helps the US because the money goes to the production and TESTING of American weapons systems.

"The fact that those weapons are used there and tested there, we are able to learn from that."

He goes on to describe it as an "opportunity" to test weapons and learn from it.

We knew AI was steering Israel's genocide in Gaza. It appears it is also steering its political strategy in the US...

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

It took a little longer than expected, but we have finished the Gaza Geolocation Map. Every clip in the archive whose location we know is placed on a map of Gaza, so you can see where the footage was filmed.

It includes:
35,200+ videos and photos placed on the map.
Sources and the original post for every clip
Node map links & suggested leads
Our built-in AI iris can navigate the map
Fully searchable index
Filters by area, date, type of attack and precision
UN satellite damage survey layer (UNOSAT)
Built-in reverse image search links for each node
Downloadable dataset (CSV, GeoJSON and Google Earth)

It can be accessed here: https://t.co/4irNy85XQW

Please re-share and help us break out of the algorithm prison.

We will keep placing more of the footage as our researchers work through the rest of the archive.

Thank you to https://t.co/c8bmQF2iME, GeoConfirmed, @AbuLocation and @NemoAnno, whose geolocation work is credited on the map.

God bless all those who sacrificed their lives to get this footage out.

New in The Atlantic:

@dgrobinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.

He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”

🦔Meta classified its AI data centers as "experimental pilot facilities" on its tax return. That let the Nvidia chips inside them qualify for the federal research tax credit. Meta's research credit savings went from $700 million in 2023 to $3.9 billion in 2025 and its federal tax bill dropped nearly 71%. Meta's $3.9 billion is over 10% of the entire federal research credit, claimed by one company. The facilities include a 5-gigawatt campus in Louisiana that cost above $50 billion. Meta's own reserve for potential IRS challenges grew 45% to $18.74 billion.

My Take
Meta is calling a $50 billion data center campus an experiment. The research credit was designed in the 1980s for companies that tried things that might not work. Meta used it to write off Nvidia GPUs by the tens of thousands in facilities that power Instagram, WhatsApp, and a commercial AI product with 2.8 million downloads. Tax experts called the classification "kind of wild" and they're right.

$3.9 billion in tax savings is a lot of money. That's money the Treasury didn't collect from a company worth $1.5 trillion. Meta's own filings show they know this might not hold up because they increased their IRS dispute reserve by 45% to $18.74 billion. If the IRS challenges it and wins, Meta owes billions in back taxes. If the IRS doesn't challenge it, every other hyperscaler files the same claim next year. Either way this reshapes how AI infrastructure gets taxed. Communities already fight data centers over noise, water, and property values. Now the tax code hands them a $3.9 billion subsidy on top of it.

Jetzt ist es also amtlich. Das Deutschlandticket wird zum 1. Januar 2027 zum 4. Mal hintereinander teurer. Von ursprünglich 9 Euro auf jetzt dann 66,80 Euro. Das haben Bund und Ländern soeben beschlossen. Der Grund: Beide Parteien weigern sich mehr als 1,5 Mrd. € pro Jahr zur Stabilisierung des Tickets beizutragen. Ein Trauerspiel angesichts der 2,5 Mrd. Euro, die gerade für drei Monate Tankrabatt verschleudert werden. Das Absurdeste ist aber die Begründung: „Steigende Energiekosten“. Seltsam: Verbrenner-Fahrer werden bei steigenden Energiekosten mit Rabatten begünstigt. ÖPNV-Fahrer müssen stattdessen draufzahlen. Wann hat diese unsägliche Zwei-Klassen Verkehrspolitik endlich mal ein Ende?

[Spiros Margaris @SpirosMargaris]

AI safety did not suddenly become a big topic.

Some of the people behind OpenAI and Anthropic have worried about this for more than a decade.

Now AI is getting much better, much faster. And the debate has moved from a small group in Silicon Valley to all of us.
