In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.
Just thought y’all should know.
🚨 Are you keeping track of what happened today..
this morning: Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz - 20% of global oil..
this afternoon: Russia banned gasoline exports starting April 1st..
and now: Qatar just declared force majeure on LNG contracts through May 2026.. canceling gas supply obligatins to Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China.. Qatar supplies 20% of global LNG..
"force majeure" is a legal declaration that says something changed that they weren't willing to put in writing..
Italy.. Belgium.. South Korea.. China.. entire continents just had their gas supply cancelled in one announcement..
this is what an energy crisis actually looks like.. not one dramatic event.. three dominoes falling in the same day..
in 1973 one country cut oil exports and the entire Western economy collapsed.. stagflation.. gas lines.. a presidency destroyed..
today three of the world's biggest energy players moved at once..
This is what winning a war without firing a shot looks like.
🚨 Do you understand what this man just pulled off..
> a guy from North Carolina used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs.. uploaded them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.. then botted billions of streams on his own tracks and walked away with $8 million
> 660,000 fake streams per day.. spread across thousands of AI songs so nobody noticed.. $1.2 million a year.. for music no human ever actually listened to
real artists are out here grinding for 0.003 cents per stream.. promoting on TikTok.. begging for playlist placements.. and this guy just had AI make the music AND the audience
first-ever criminal streaming fraud case.. he's paying back $8 million.. but the playbook is out there now.. and AI just got better since he started
the music industry spent 10 years fighting piracy.. now they have to fight songs that don't exist being listened to by people who don't exist.
David Sacks says the biggest risk of AI was described not by James Cameron in The Terminator but by George Orwell in 1984.
“I almost feel like the term ‘woke AI’ is insufficient to explain what’s going on because it somehow trivializes it.”
“What we’re really talking about is 'Orwellian AI.' We’re talking about AI that lies to you, that distorts an answer, that rewrites history in real time to serve a current political agenda of the people who are in power.”
“To me, this is the biggest risk of AI... It’s not The Terminator, it’s 1984.”

These are the 8 cancer researchers who died in a plane "crash" in Brazil. They were investigating the links between mRNA injections and turbo cancer and wanted to publish their work, they were on their way to a press conference! 😳
At Steve Jobs's memorial service, all 500 guests were gifted one book.
It was a book Jobs reread every year for 38 years.
