If this is not the end of Farage, then British politics is dead.
If we ignore this, then all that lies ahead is Trump.
This is criminal. This is wrong. Farage must go.
Los 65.000 millones de barriles de petróleo venezolano, sobre los que EEUU ha tomado el control, valen 6 billones de dólares.
54 veces el PIB anual de Venezuela.
Es el mayor robo de la historia y parece que a nadie le importa. Es increíble.
One of the most horrific scenes in human history has been revealed.
During the war of extermination, an Israeli soldier fired a missile at a group of children who were swimming in the sea off Gaza just for fun!
A video the world must never forget.
🛑 Do not add the ChatGPT Messages “plugin” to Apple Messages.
And never use iMessage, SMS or RCS again. You’ll never know if the person you’re texting has been stupid and irresponsible enough to add this silent monitoring bot to your conversation.
Governments no longer need to pressure Apple for a backdoor. OpenAI just built one for them.
Every text you send them can end up on OpenAI’s servers, available to intelligence agencies and law enforcement through US legal process, and to other governments who can demand access through treaties and cross border agreements.
Facebook Messenger is now safer than iMessage. @OpenAI just killed end to end encryption for Apple.
Article in my drafts folder.
I’m actually pretty upset Apple allowed this. While the feature is cool, the technical functionality that enables it is not cool.
If I was Tim Apple, OAI would be temporarily banned from the App Store until this is reversed, and here’s why:
I use iMessage because it’s quantum encrypted, with server keys I can own. Local caches are on devices that are encrypted with my passwords, not apples keys.
This makes it and computationally and legally impossible for anyone else to access chat history but the people I trust and directly communicated with.
But *now* the copies of my messages from years ago on *anyones* laptop in what is *supposed* to be an encrypted-at-rest local cache only can now be fetched directly by chatgpt without my permission or even knowledge and stored and processed in plain text forever on openai / Microsoft servers unencrypted and requested by any government entity at a moments notice without my knowledge and openai/Microsoft legally have to provide that, in federally enforced total secrecy. And they’re never legally allowed to admit they do it.
AND because of default chatgpt settings most people haven’t bothered to turn off, all those private texts can now be used for training and will end up in the weights of future models, so all future AI models will permanently know all of our private lives as a part of the weights, immortalized forever as training checkpoints.
Total architecture abandonment and user trust betrayal on Apples part. This should be the most viral story of 2026 by 100x. The permanent end of private communication in the US.
‼️ BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.
They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.
Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.
There’s a scene from the 1960 film version of The Time Machine that has been haunting my dreams of late.
In the film, the Time Traveller (Rod Taylor) has traveled almost a million years into the future, expecting that when he arrived he would find an advanced civilisation marked by the pursuit of learning. Instead, he finds the Eloi, a race of simple creatures in togas who are bred like cattle, and eaten, by the subterranean Morlocks.
In the film’s most harrowing scene, he’s taken by one of the Eloi to a centuries-old library housing the last books in existence, which crumble to dust in his hands.
“What have you done?” the Time Traveller demands, as the dreams of centuries turn to ash. “Thousands of years of building and rebuilding, creating and recreating! A million years, the sensitive men dying for their dreams, for what? So you can swim, and dance, and play.”
In the last couple weeks I see a lot of men on this platform arguing with a straight face that we should let AI generate our writing for us, that it’s the future, that there’s no fighting it. And I need you all to know that THIS is the ultimate end of a world in which everyone has machines write for them. There will be no more thinking, no more creative expression, no more art or literature. It’s what C. S. Lewis called “the abolition of man.” We will be no different from cattle and our libraries will turn to dust.
When ease and entertainment become the highest good, it’s not shocking that people will find clever ways to avoid work and study. But nor should it be surprising when the ultimate fate of the Eloi becomes our own.
Musk did an interview with the editor of the Economist, a posh white woman, centrist, daughter of an army officer.
It went badly for Musk.
So now she’s a ‘traitor to the West.’
Totally normal response from a normal guy.
