Finally we return to the notion that angels bring technology. Any kind of secular conception of "technology" or "economy" from now on (blind to its religious nature) will ultimately be about contacting these intelligences ( = meta-technology from a secular point of view)
SITUATION DETECTED: A U.S. SOCOM analyst used AI to produce an intelligence report that hallucinated that a Chinese ship in the Middle East was carrying nuclear-weapons components. The U.S. military was preparing to board the ship before the error was caught, per CNN.

"The cyber attack seems like a very possible scenario because it's a way for the banks to absolve themselves of any role in a a financial crisis."
"It's an easy way to consolidate banks so only systemically important ones survive 'the hack.'"
everything is a mic if you have a stable high speed camera. Actually does not even need to be that stable, you can remove the global shake and shift before any phase analysis.

JUST IN: Social media users are calling for Halloween to become “De-Flock America” night, targeting Flock surveillance cameras while people are out in masks.
🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.
