Hello!

Just because it's me

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

TikTok just quietly installed a new feature onto everyone’s accounts without telling anyone

It automatically gives them permission to take your images, your voices, and plug them into AI and use them for whatever content they want to make

That means they can now make make AI content that looks like you and say things that sound like you, doing stuff you would never say or do

TikTok rolled out a new setting called “Allow AI to Remix Content”

- It was turned on by default for existing and new videos.
- This allows other users and TikTok’s AI tools to use your video clips, images, and audio to create AI-generated remixes, memes, or new content featuring your likeness and voice

If you don’t want this you can opt out

However, The opt-out is per video, there is no account wide toggle. You must go into each individual video’s privacy settings to turn it off

This make it much more difficult and annoying to opt out every time so eventually you’ll likely just stop opting out and they can steal your likeness for their AI

TikTok says this setting is mainly about letting other users remix your content with AI, not necessarily TikTok secretly training models on everything

But that’s not true, because training data permissions are covered in their broader terms

They are literally stealing your likeness and voice for training models

🚨🚨 Las grandes farmacéuticas siguen cambiando premeditadamente los valores de presión arterial, convirtiendo a personas sanas en "pacientes" para obtener beneficios...
Cambios históricos "normales" de la presión arterial:
- 1940: 100 + tu edad (por ejemplo, 170/95 de multa para una persona de 70 años)
- 1970: 160/90
- 2000: 140/90
- 2025: Debe ser inferior a 120/80, o se considera "hipertenso"...
La máquina de ganancias:
• Los medicamentos antihipertensivos generaron 36.700 millones de dólares solo en 2024.
• Umbrales más bajos = más diagnósticos = más recetas de por vida
• Los medicamentos no solucionan las causas fundamentales, solo los síntomas, lo que lleva a tomar más pastillas para los efectos secundarios...
💊💊Peligros ocultos de los medicamentos para la presión arterial:
- Tos crónica
- Bajo en sodio y potasio
- Mareos y dolores de cabeza
- Deshidratación y calambres musculares
- Gota y dolor articular
- Insomnio, pesadillas y depresión
- Ritmo cardíaco lento y palpitaciones
- Síntomas del asma
- Disfunción sexual/eréctil
- Desmayos y problemas renales
- Angioedema (hinchazón de la cara/lengua)
- La presión arterial muy baja aumenta el riesgo de enfermedades crónicas y mortalidad, especialmente en personas mayores.

University of Sydney Professor Vikas Kumar says Australians are not skilled enough to do call center jobs, which is why Officeworks needs to offshore hundreds of jobs.

Obvious bullshit to excuse companies attempting to undercut Australian wages. 40% of Australia’s adult population is foreign born but apparently we still have a “skills shortage” that will just continue forever

[Senator Matt Canavan @mattjcan]

Labor calls its tax changes the "biggest tax reform in 25 years".

25 years ago the Howard Government introduced the GST. But John Howard had the guts to take his tax changes to the people and get a mandate for them.

If the PM had the same ticker as John Howard he would take his massive tax grab to an election too.

A basic right of British peoples is that no taxes are levied without the consent of the people.

Labor's taxes are not just based on lies they are an affront to the basic rights of Australians to have a Parliament accountable to the people.

More in the Courier Mail today.

Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:

- The American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan
- He found that we are giving money to Yemen
- He found that we are giving money to Syria
- He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion
- He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money
- He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that”
- He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
- They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
- They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations
- According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas
- He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala
- He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
- He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
- He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
- Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
- USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
- They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
- They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus
- Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia

I wanted to get some straight answers about the government’s 5% deposit scheme, because to me, it looks like risky lending at the taxpayers' expense.

APRA have previously said that loans with a 95% value ratio are high-risk. I asked how they reconcile that with a government scheme that encourages this exact behaviour. They admitted that high-ratio lending is "more risky" and they are watching it closely.

I’m worried about what happens if property prices drop by 10 or 20%. If people fall into negative equity, the taxpayer is underwriting a huge chunk of those losses. APRA ducked out of giving a specific answer on the scheme itself, however insisted their "stress tests" for the overall banking system are even more severe than the scenarios raised.

I asked if the Treasurer warned about the scheme’s risks? They told me they gave some advice to Treasury early on about mortgage insurers, but nothing specifically to the Treasurer. They will provide me with a copy of that advice on notice.

I questioned APRA as to whether this scheme follows their own sound risk management standards. They replied that they don’t "opine" on government policy, however confirmed that they’ll expect banks to hold the same amount of capital against these loans as any other high-risk product.

Finally, I asked if they would publish stress test results specifically for this 5% scheme. They stated that their stress tests are "much broader than any one government policy" and that they are "not aware of a stress test" planned for this specific scheme.

APRA knows these loans are risky and are tiptoeing around the topic.

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.

What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.

"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."

"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."

These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.

And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.

Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."

The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

The government is adding folic acid to all UK flour by law this December. They call it a public health win. What they are not telling you is that folic acid is not folate.

Folic acid is the synthetic oxidised form of vitamin B9. To become usable, the body has to convert it using an enzyme called DHFR into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form your cells can actually work with.

A significant portion of the population carries variants of the MTHFR gene that impair this conversion. Enzyme activity can drop by up to 70 percent. Unmetabolised folic acid accumulates in the blood instead.

I carry an MTHFR variant. Most people who do have no idea. They eat their fortified bread and assume they are getting folate. They are not. They are accumulating a synthetic compound their body cannot process efficiently.

No screening.
No individual consideration.
No acknowledgement that the conversion pathway exists. Just mandatory fortification for every single person in the country.

Real folate is found in food. Liver is the most concentrated source and it delivers folate already in the active 5-MTHF form.
No conversion needed.
No gene variant problem.

They are adding a synthetic vitamin to a food that drives metabolic dysfunction and calling it progress.

I don’t eat bread anymore but if you still eat bread, choose 100% wholemeal, rye, or ancient grain varieties like spelt or einkorn. These are exempt from the law. White and standard brown bread are not.

Do you know if you carry an MTHFR variant?

DIRECTOR OF BIOETHICS AT NYU: "People eat too much meat… There’s this thing called the Lone Star tick, where if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat…"

"That’s something we can do through human engineering."

This sounds like bioterrorism dressed up as bioethics.

REMEMBER THIS: Pauline Hanson was jailed in 2003 after being convicted over
the registration of One Nation in Queensland.
She was sentenced to three years in prison.
She was handcuffed, taken into custody, strip searched and sent to a women’s prison.
Eleven weeks later, the Queensland Court of Appeal set the convictions aside and she walked free.
Bronwyn Bishop described Hanson as a political prisoner and called the jailing unacceptable, saying Australians did not have to agree with Hanson to understand that freedom of speech was at stake.
That part of the story is too often buried.
A woman who had challenged the political establishment was humiliated, imprisoned and separated from her family before the case collapsed on appeal.
Hanson later said the experience broke her so badly that she contemplated suicide while in jail, but thoughts of her children kept her going.
That history explains why she has never stopped fighting.
For single parents.
For veterans.
For pensioners.
For Australians abandoned by the parties that pretend to speak for them.
Never forget what they did to Pauline Hanson.

You seriously can't hate this government enough! We are taxed to oblivion so they can waste money! Senate suite upgrades costing tax payers $1.3+ million per suite! Meanwhile more and more Australians can't even afford a roof over their head!

Good morning Australia

Chris Bowen just admitted public servants are more important than the taxpayer and they deserve to fly business class all around the world.

The sheer arrogance of this bloke is beyond belief.

I thought Labor was for the working people?

[George Mamalis @georgieAM]

What I find interesting is the double standard.

Australia is full of ethnic, cultural, and community organisations that openly advocate for their communities’ interests. We have Greek organisations, Italian organisations, Islamic organisations, Zionists organisations, Indian organisations, Chinese organisations, Lebanese organisations and countless others. Nobody bats an eyelid.

But the moment people start discussing the Anglo-Celtic foundations of Australia, or the people who built the country, suddenly it’s treated as taboo.

Why?

Why is every group allowed to celebrate its heritage, organise around its community, and advocate for its interests, except the founding culture of the nation itself?

[Rational Aussie @rationalaussie]

If you're wondering why Australia feels so broken and corrupt right now, it is because 80% of the Labor Party has never worked more than 5 years in the private sector.

They have stolen from you their entire life.

People should not become wealthy from NDIS. .

“Key figures in the Gillard government, who founded the NDIS, have gone on to chair union-backed super funds that are the biggest financial winners from the disability scheme.

In the largest transaction in NDIS history, a firm co-owned by more than a dozen industry funds turned a $28m investment into a $360m payday in just four years.

The firm, IFM Investors, used its “private equity” division to buy over 80 per cent of the largest NDIS plan management company, Adelaide-based My Plan Manager, from founder Claire Wittwer-Smith in 2019.

Documents obtained by this masthead reveal IFM forked out $26.8m in cash to a former special ed teacher, who had started My Plan Manager (MPM) in 2014 after leaving a job at the National Disability Insurance Agency.

At the time of the buy, IFM Investors was chaired by ex federal Labor cabinet minister and one-time ACTU boss Greg Combet.

When IFM sold MPM in 2023, Mr Combet had left. But former Labor cabinet minister Lindsay Tanner had joined as a director.

IFM Investors is ultimately owned by industry super funds including Hesta – chaired by former Labor health minister Nicola Roxon – and Cbus, whose board is led by ex Labor treasurer Wayne Swan.

All four were ministers under Julia Gillard, who founded the NDIS.

••••••••••••••••••••••

Disabled people should not be treated like commodities.

The fact that NDIS companies can be sold for millions of dollars shows that the scheme has been set up in a way to benefit grifters and not disabled people.

It should as no surprise that superannuation funds are involved in this grifting as they have a long established track record in grifting fees from poor working Australians.

Nor should it come as no surprise that the Labor party are behind this grifting.

Hiding behind their faux bleeding hearts are multimillionaires deceiving taxpayers of hard earned tax dollars and disabled people the proper support they need.

And don’t forget the money Superannuation funds pour into foreign owned renewables.
