The World Cup is at our shores, and all these people are doing us a great service. They are reminding Americans that this place is kind of awesome.

Jeff Bezos claiming humans are consuming too much water and not leaving enough for AI data centers is INSANE.

#SundayWisdom from Michael Crichton:

“There’s nothing more sobering than a 30-year-old newspaper.”

Flip through old headlines and you’ll find no shortage of apocalyptic predictions and existential crises that have long since faded into obscurity.

The media amplifies fear because fear captures attention – but it only works if we’re willing to consume the news uncritically. A prosperous society depends on citizens who can distinguish between genuine threats and manufactured hysteria.

Resist panic, think clearly, and remember that fear is one of the easiest things in the world to sell.

Did you know the TV show “To Catch a Predator” was cancelled because they kept catching law enforcement, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people meant to protect Children?

The final straw? An Assistant District Attorney in TEXAS was courting who he thought was a 13yo boy. He didn’t show for the sting, so they sent law enforcement and camera crew to his home. The police entered, and Louis Conradt shot himself, taking his own life.

Can’t make this shit up.

Woman who lives only 1.6 miles from the META Data Center in Wisconsin speaks out

She says their water system has been completely destroyed

She says there is discharge that turns the entire river white like milk. She paid for testing and found extremely high heavy metal levels

“I live on a horse farm and I am an educator. I, for almost four 50 years, a natural creek has flowed through my property. It's 20 feet wide, up to four feet deep. It has persisted through drought, flood, seasonal change. It's part of a connected system. Groundwater, tributaries, watersheds, aquifers ultimately flowing into Beaver Dam Lake. Until construction began upstream on the data center, its behavior was stable and predictable

After construction started, all of that changed. Here in Beaver Dam, the creek began to stop flowing entirely without rainfall. It would abruptly return off in cloudy and opaque like milk, with enough force to cause drastic erosion and damage — Water testing on my property shows elevated strontium, a very dangerous metal, and other indicators consistent with deep groundwater influence”

Director James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made:

"AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research."

And when that happens, he warns, you won't get a vote on it:

"So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answers to the goals and rules of a corporation."

A corporation that already knows everything about you:

"An entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data."

From there, the slide toward something far darker is shorter than most people think:

"Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism."

And even the best-case outcome isn't reassuring. Tech giants becoming the self-appointed arbiters of human good is, as he puts it, the fox guarding the hen house.

He's not buying the idea that these companies would stay benevolent with that kind of power:

"They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash."

The sarcasm is the point.

Cameron has spent four decades imagining worst-case futures on screen. His verdict on this one:

"That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction."
