Rep. Auchincloss admits on the record that the mass surveillance and censorship laws he and his ilk are seeking to pass are a massive threat to free speech, and he suggests pushing the moral panic about "kids mental health" in order to circumvent the very legit speech concerns.

@nhl_review No, they did call it, they blew the play dead, then decided that they didn’t want to call it anymore. So imo that’s worse than intentionally choosing to not make the call in the first place.

[Freedom of the Press Foundation @FreedomofPress]

Congress may pass a set of dangerous "kids online safety" bills that would censor online speech and harm press freedom, while doing little to protect children.

Use our action center to tell Congress: No online censorship in the guise of child safety! https://t.co/pVRiRTT0Xh

The mainstream media is now confirming we are being robbed at grocery stores and Walmart

Product after product they take off the shelves and weigh is always short

They test Walmart shrimp, bring it to the studio and every bag is half a pound short

This has to be an intentionally large scale scam to defraud Americans at the grocery store

One or two items is a mistake. Every item they pull off the shelves being underweight at specific locations is fraud

And the amount products are underweight isn’t a small amount, it’s a huge amount

We are being robbed blind

SAM ALTMAN IS PULLING OFF THE BIGGEST THEFT IN TECH HISTORY

And his $100B Nvidia deal just collapsed because Jensen Huang caught on to his schemes.

IT'S OVER FOR OPENAI

But he's STILL trying to raise another $100B+ from Amazon, SoftBank, and sovereign wealth funds.

The largest private VC round in history.

But the numbers make zero sense.

Let me break down why (Scam) Altman is the biggest grifter tech has ever seen:

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's $100B investment in OpenAI has completely stalled.

The deal announced with tremendous fanfare in September?

Dead.

Jensen Huang privately told industry associates the agreement was "non-binding and not finalized."

It was basically just a a press release designed to pump OpenAI's valuation.

Meanwhile, Altman is flying around the world desperately seeking $100B more at an $830B valuation.

Amazon is reportedly in talks for up to $50B.

SoftBank just completed $41B and is discussing another $30B.

The Financial Times called OpenAI an "era-defining money furnace."

They're being kind.

The actual numbers:

OpenAI burned $8B in 2025. They project burning $17B in 2026. $35B in 2027. $47B in 2028.

Cumulative cash burn through 2029? $115B.

Yet they're valued at 65x revenue.

At $13B in 2025 revenue and an $830B valuation, OpenAI trades at a multiple that doesn't exist in conventional SaaS benchmarking.

Even in 2021, at the peak of the tech bubble, Snowflake only hit 50-80x.

Meanwhile, Altman's promises keep evaporating.

In May 2024, he said: "Ads plus AI is uniquely unsettling to me."

He called advertising a "last resort."

20 months later: OpenAI announced ads in ChatGPT.

The "last resort" arrived right on schedule.

And the nonprofit-to-for-profit conversion is even worse...

OpenAI started as a nonprofit with a mission to "benefit humanity."

Elon Musk donated $38M based on that promise.

Now the nonprofit foundation holds just 26% of the for-profit OpenAI Group. Microsoft owns 27%. Employees and investors own 47%.

Greg Brockman's own words from the early days:

"If we succeed, we believe we'll create orders of magnitude more value than any existing company, in which case all but a fraction is returned to the world."

That fraction? It's now the majority going to private investors.

Then there's Worldcoin.

Altman's OTHER venture scans people's eyeballs in exchange for cryptocurrency.

Kenya ordered the company to delete all biometric data after a court ruled they collected it without valid consent.

Thailand demanded destruction of 1.2M iris scans.

Spain banned operations. Portugal issued a 3 month suspension. Indonesia launched investigations. Hong Kong raided their offices.

The pattern: target lower-income communities, offer crypto incentives, collect irreplaceable biometric data.

But sure. Let's trust Sam Altman with $830B.

Here's the investment reality:

OpenAI projects positive cash flow in 2029 or 2030. That's assuming revenue hits $200B annually.

They need 70-75% growth every year for five straight years.

Only a handful of companies in history have achieved that.

Meanwhile, their market share is eroding. Enterprise AI leadership dropped from 50% to 34% as Anthropic and Google gain ground.

Anthropic expects to break even in 2028. OpenAI expects $74B in operating losses that same year.

The company needs constant fundraising to survive. If markets cool on AI, the entire model collapses.

This bait-and-switch scheme is so obvious and yet it succeeds:

Promise world-changing technology.
Burn through investor capital.
Break every promise when the cash gets tight.

The nonprofit mission: Gone

The "no ads" promise: Gone

The safety commitments that got former researchers to resign: Gone

The $100B Nvidia deal: Gone

What remains is a company valued at $830B that can't turn a profit, led by a CEO who built his fortune elsewhere while preaching about humanity's benefit.

That's the oldest con in Silicon Valley.

NOT innovation.

Alex Pretti: “Today, we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it. We never forget and always remember, our brothers and sisters who have served, so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom. So in this moment, we remember and give thanks for their dedication and selfless service to our nation in the cause of our freedom. In this solemn hour, we give them our honor and our gratitude.“

RIP, hero. 🇺🇸✊🏼

Jessica Hauser, Alex Pretti’s final nursing student, posted this on Facebook:

“I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”
