LLMs are training on what people have WRITTEN about a topic, not by observing people practicing whatever the topic is.

So when there's a gap between theory and practice, AI will completely align with theory.

“The modern household’s direct destructiveness of the world bears a profound relation to the fundamental moral disconnections for which it also stands. It divorces us from the sources of our bodily life; as a people, we no longer know the earth we come from.”

“In the end,
I believe there is nothing we must do to be loved.
We spend our lives trying to look more beautiful, more intelligent.
But I've understood two things:
Those who love us see us with their hearts and give us qualities
beyond the ones we truly have.
And those who refuse to love us will never be satisfied with all our efforts.
Yes, truly.
I believe it is important to let our imperfections be.
They are precious,
for they help us understand those who see us with the heart.”

— Frida Kahlo

Many of them will still vote4Republicans because the thing that scares them most isn’t losing Medicare or Social Security benefits. It’s losing “their” country to “those people.” They see GOP as party that will maintain white supremacy/dominance in America—their #1 self interest.

Palantir sells governments a war room that costs millions a year.

So, a guy named Elie just rebuilt it, put it on GitHub, and gave it away.

It's called World Monitor.

Open it and you get a live 3D globe with 500+ news feeds pouring in across 15 categories, all summarized by AI as they land.

> Military movements.
> Economic shocks.
> Natural disasters.
> Cyber incidents.
> Flight paths.
> Shipping lanes.

+ 56 different map layers you can stack on top of each other.

It scores 31 countries on a stress index and updates the number as things happen.

It watches 29 stock exchanges, commodities, and crypto in one panel.

It runs local AI through Ollama, so you can use the whole thing without a single API key.

Native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. 25 languages. Works out of the box after one clone.

Seuss Effect - plants, then other organic material, and ultimately fossil fuels, preferentially carry Carbon 12 (the lighter isotope is chosen during photosynthesis). Spiking CO2 levels with a falling proportion of Carbon 13 is like a fingerprint that says "yep, we did that."
