The fact that Mark Zuckerberg is at the White House UFC Freedom 250 & Meta is a sponsor are indicators that Republicans will win the midterms. He goes where the wind blows & has access to more data than anyone from FB/IG. His data is telling him it's good to be Republican in 2026
@GavinNewsom Nobody is above the law, remember?
Sounds like you have something to hide. You should let the investigation unfold without trying to interfere by manipulating public perception.
Anthropic hung themselves with doomerism. Their model capability didn’t even matter. They begged for regulation in the name of nat sec, and here we are. Now they’re regulated by a govt who hates them. GG EA freaks.
If you needed proof what’s happening is pure politics and not actually based on the model capabilities, here you go:
“After the meeting, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and administration officials spoke on Friday, said four people familiar with the call. During the conversations, Anthropic officials laid out how the security vulnerabilities found through the alleged jailbreak were relatively simple and could be achieved with other models. But the government told Anthropic that it had already decided to implement the export control.”
Once Karpathy joins a new AI lab they’re about 60 days out from massive drama and public pushback.
Clockwork at this point.
He has to know, Elon’s vision is more worthy of his efforts than that of these EA rationalist freaks he’s running with.
autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.
The world's first (recognized) trillionaire built his wealth by tackling extremely difficult problems in the physical world to dramatically accelerate human technological progress.
Absolutely massive white pill.
@bourscheid You don't understand because your brain only comprehends how to distribute wealth, not how to create it.
That's why you suck and Elon is great. Hope that helps.
IRL people contacting me telling me about them getting exposure to the SpaceX IPO and asking whether I've bought already or am going to
Interesting stuff happening over here
A single Starship launch will deploy 60 next-gen @Starlink V3 satellites and add 61,000 Gbps of network capacity. By comparison, a Falcon 9 carrying 27 Starlink V2 satellites adds 2,600 Gbps.
In other words, one Starship launch will add as much capacity as 23 Falcon 9 launches combined.
Just 10 Starship launches carrying Starlink V3 satellites will add as much network capacity as the entire Starlink network has today. Absolutely wild.
I haven’t seen the movie “Disclosure Day” but it seems to be the most “Boomer” film conceivable, at least for 2026.
The film seems to ask:
“What if aliens were real and covered up by our government/experts?”
“Can you imagine how disruptive this revelation would be to our social order?”
“Would you ever trust government/experts ever again? Scandal!”
“Wouldn’t aliens totally upset our comfortable boring hum-drum middle class American lives?”
Sure Mr. Spielberg, but there are some problems with your narrative’s impact.
First, almost no one under 50 lives a hum-drum comfortable middle class life. That’s over, mainly because your class blew it up. Remember?
Second, our social order is already maximally disrupted by war, economic depression, mass-migration, A.I., super viruses, trust collapse, and political instability. So, please tell me, how are the aliens standing at the back of this train going to F*CK us even harder? Sure, they might if they go full “Independence Day”. But until E.T. builds a slum in my hometown and starts decapitating people, minimally, then he is NOT making much of an impact.
Third, in 2026, I can’t be scandalized by government / expert lies. They’ve already lied about things that totally destroyed our ordinary existences, and those lies involved denying things right in front of my eyes, way more concrete than hypothetical flying saucers with little green men in them.
Furthermore, it is also impossible to forget that when we all started noticing these lies, it was people like Spielberg who showed up to accuse us of being “conspiracy theorists”. So great, now we have to indulge Steven’s pet conspiracy theory movie because he thinks it will “blow the mind” of his political enemies in the same way that pointing out the “great Replacement” blew his. The only take away I could possible take from this is that I should believe the government / experts only when Hollywood tells me I should.
All in all, “Disclosure Day” has a problem. It’s not just that I have to indulge a fantasy to enjoy the film (all movies require this). The problem is I have to indulge a fantasy to even be able to indulge this fantasy. In order to be “shocked” by “disclosure”, I have to pretend that I live in the 90s, and am otherwise comfortable, upwardly mobile, with a culture that belongs to me and a government that I trust.
These conditions might pertain to Spielberg and his friends, but for me they are just a fantasy. And I can’t enjoy a fantasy inside another man’s fantasy.
here are some facts about California. some of this is hard to believe.
first of all, it's important to understand the concept of "ballot harvesting," which is perfectly legal in CA. this refers to a situation where someone completely unaffiliated with the voter can collect and submit their ballot for them.
this flow is completely legal:
- a homeless person arrives in LA, where they are eligible for cash assistance, SSI, food stamps, healthcare through medical, and an array of other taxpayer-funded services
- they are registered to vote by an NGO (many such NGOs exist and explicitly do this).
- they do not have to provide a residential address or any proof of residency to vote. they only have to provide a mailing address, which can be anywhere (church, NGO HQ, homeless shelter). their home address can be "a park" or "an underpass".
- their ballot is mailed to the homeless shelter (or whatever address the NGO elects for them)
- the only verification done for the mail-in ballot is "signature verification" and uniqueness (only one vote per person is counted theoretically).
- the signature can be an X. if they register with an X, they can sign with an X. that is sufficient to pass verification. signature verification is also deliberately loose. the signature does not have to be a perfect match.
now consider the hypothetical scenario, which is fraudulent, but virtually impossible to detect:
- a homeless person cycles through the LA system. they get registered with their mailing address listed as the NGO HQ or homeless shelter
- they "sign" their registration with an X or nondescript, easily replicable signature
- they disappear. never seen again. or they exist, but it doesn't matter. they don't get purged from the voter rolls for 4-8 years typically.
- the address where they registered receives their ballot for several cycles
- operatives are aware that they have X amount of votes to make up. they fill in X many thousand mail-in ballots themselves. the ballots are manually postmarked (permitted). they forge the signature to match whatever signature (could be an X) was submitted upon registration
- ballots can be accepted even if they are postmarked at 11.59 pm. polls closed at 8 pm. (you would need an accomplice who is a USPS employee)
- the only fraud checks are de-duplication (if the homeless person through some miracle voted in person, only one of their ballots would be counted) and signature verification
- because very few of the homeless people in question would have voted in person, this gives NGO operatives tens of thousands of possible mail-in ballots to submit unilaterally.
the big problem is that there is NO way to detect this type of fraud. NGOs that register homeless people to vote exist. that isn't a secret. ballot harvesting is fully legal. voting by mail is encouraged. signature verification is as loose as possible. de-duplication doesn't solve anything, since few homeless people vote in person. and no one in power locally is going to spend political capital on rooting out such fraud, since they are all wholeheartedly committed to "voting rights".
in a situation where fraud is undetectable, the absence of hard proof of fraud is not evidence that no fraud exists.
Raman has gained around 20k votes since election night. She is around 3k votes ahead of Pratt now.
there are over 72 thousand homeless people in LA county.
Every White country is a vassal state of the Blue Empire at this time. The Blue Empire is typified by the "classic" State Department, and could be referred to as "Foggy Bottom." The Red Empire is typified by the "classic" Pentagon, and could be referred to as "Crystal City."
Foggy Bottom and Crystal City are the bureaucratic Each of each subEmpire, and the divisions betwixt are long running, storied, and significant.
...but they are both meta-bureaucracies (Note: this means a bureaucracy of bureaucracies), which means they are, and always have been, populated by the same species of creature, with the variations being at the breed level. All dogs, but Alsations in one and Terriers in the other.
...but there is also significant overlap. There are plenty of Crystal City bureaucrats within the Foggy Bottom ecosystem, and vice versa. Some of them are spies, some of them are outlaws, some of them are in the wilderness for past misdeeds or misunderstandings. If you have had no contact with the DC bureaucracy, you simply cannot really understand how metastasized this particular societal cancer is.
...but even with all the variations and dichotomies and feuds, both Foggy Bottom and the Crystal City are symbiotes. Yes, they quarrel and struggle. Yes, they have distinct visions of both methods and meanings. Yes, they have differing visions for where things should go. But all of these are just matters of degree; no matter what the rhetoric or propaganda says, they are two sides of one coin. A shitcoin, if you will.
...but (last but) there's a civil war consisting of a smoldering revolution and a creeping coup, and it has been going on, in fits and starts, for a decade now. When we went from Clinton to Bush, that was just Crystal City taking a temporarily dominant position over Foggy Bottom. The reverse occurred when we went from Bush to Obama. Imagine a seesaw on a Merry-Go-Round.
In 2016, the Merry-Go-Round started wobbling like crazy, causing the seesaw to do things it was never built to do. This is when the Smoldering Revolution began in Foggy Bottom with embers flaring in Crystal City, which culminated in the most fraud free and fair election of all human history, past or present. With the tacit approval of the Crystal City, Foggy Bottom installed a figurehead caretaker (Biden) then attempted to insert a decade's worth of strategic action into a four-year span. They were moderately successful on many fronts.
The Creeping Coup began a few days after the Butler assassination attempt. It continues apace, while the Smoldering Revolution occasionally flares up but is actually being smothered in many places.
SO- what you are seeing in Europe are the strategic apparatuses tied directly to Foggy Bottom doing everything they can to hold the line and wait for the Creeping Coup to be crushed by a reinvigorated Smoldering Revolution. It's pretty clear which European vassals have split loyalties between Foggy Bottom and Crystal City, and it is likewise clear when one is favored over the other (defense spending, Ukraine rhetoric, etc etc).
I know this is embarrassingly complicated, you shouldn't take my word for it, you should take my assertions and test them and see where I am wrong and right.
But I am telling you that I am right, and you should pray everyday that whoever is managing the Creeping Coup steps on the gas pedal, because the alternative is a wildfire of wreck, ruin, and starvation.
If Foggy Bottom comes back into nominal power, they will not only jail many of us, they will eliminate Crystal City in all but name. If Crystal City comes back into nominal power before it is fully gutted and transfigured, basically the same outcome with the polarity reversed.
Worst case: Foggy Bottom forever
Less worse case: Crystal City forever
Good case: Crystal City skinsuit
Best Case: 😎⚔️🚁👑
