For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The UK Rape Gang Inquiry Report is out. Read it. All of it.

What's documented in this report is absolutely sickening.

250,000+ estimated victims. 149 local authority districts. Nearly 40% of the country. The first recorded case goes back to 1955.

The pattern was the same everywhere. Girls as young as 11 groomed with alcohol, drugs, gifts. Raped by organized networks. Passed between groups. Trafficked between cities. Filmed for blackmail. Threatened into silence.

Every institution knew. Police treated children as willing participants. Social workers closed cases with clear evidence sitting in the file. NHS staff documented genital injuries, STIs, and pregnancies in children then sent them back into danger. Teachers watched older men collect girls from school gates and said nothing.

Politicians knew too. They were briefed. They chose silence because they were more afraid of being called racist than they were of leaving children in the hands of rapists. That's not a political statement. That's what the report documents.

This inquiry wasn't funded by the government. It was funded by 20,000 people who decided they'd had enough waiting. Led by survivors like Sammy Woodhouse, who was raped as a child in Rotherham and spent years fighting a system that blamed her for her own abuse.

The Met has quietly opened a review of 9,000 child sexual exploitation cases. The National Crime Agency launched Operation Beaconport to reexamine thousands of dropped files.

Evil exists. It operated in the open for decades because every institution that should have stopped it decided its own comfort mattered more than the children it was supposed to protect.

The question is whether anyone with power will actually do something about it this time.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

If you count up the most powerful Wikipedia user accounts, which are in one or more of these groups...

Bureaucrats
Checkusers
ArbCom members
Oversighters
Interface administrators
Stewards

...you end up with 123 user accounts.

And virtually all of them are anonymous.

“Adam Jacobs, an avid concertgoer and once casual, later committed, concert archivist, began recording the concerts he attended in 1984 to tape including shows with Nirvana, Tracy Chapman, Dinosaur Jr., Wilco, R.E.M., Phish, and early hip-hop trailblazers” https://t.co/SA6BmUcTDf

“The concern is not just that LLMs shape how people write or speak, but that they subtly redefine what counts as credible speech, correct perspective, or even good reasoning,” says Sourati, a member of Dehghani’s Morality and Language Lab.

It’s important to term the smooth brain writing phenomenon produced by AI: semantic ablation. After excessive consumption, it becomes increasingly bland. https://t.co/tmck0vzYa9

If you want to understand what’s going on with AI watch this. It’s 5 minutes but you can watch it in 2x. It’s actually what’s happening.

[Angus @angusnb]

It ought to be abundantly clear by now that it is next to impossible to have any certainty about anything you see on a digital screen.

Maintain skepticism, especially of those speaking confidently about what is (and isn’t!) happening.

This is going to be a scam gold rush like we've never seen before. Facebook Boomers have NO Idea what's coming. They are TURBO COOKED. Warn your loved ones. This is a Hiroshima level event. Develop a safe word only you know with your circles. GOOD LUCK!!

The Threat of Financial Transaction Control

The U.S. Federal Reserve and its central banking allies are engineering unprecedented changes in the financial system. How do we know this? Because they speak openly about what they intend to do.

I want to show you three short videos today that describe the vision of total central control currently being implemented by the central banks.
