The next big agency tool isn't another AI generator,
it's a bridge that connects agency research tool (any ai) directly to the client’s own AI chatbot (any ai).
The modern agency workflow is becoming an infinite AI Feedback loop for those clients who rely on AI heavily.

Thanks @Shopify for the @claudeai mcp.

A Turkish proverb says, “If a father bathes his children, both will laugh, and if a son bathes his father, both will cry.” Such is the painful beauty of life, where love comes full circle with time.

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

“A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to ‘help’.

In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more.”

Everyone’s missing the real story here.

Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say “Hey Meta” and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Meta’s servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not.

7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said “we see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.”

Meta’s automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them.

Buried in Meta’s terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct “manual (human) review” of your AI interactions. That’s the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what you’re seeing, you’re fired.

This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Meta’s glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates.

Meta markets these glasses as “designed with your privacy in mind.” The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people don’t notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits.

And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that can’t reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose.

The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.

Pakistan’s Atomic Energy Commission has around 130,000 staff — physicists, engineers, chemists, nuclear specialists.
That’s a serious concentration of high-level talent in one place.

To put it in perspective: the entire country has roughly 220,000 doctors and nurses combined, and 2.6 million teachers but most of those are primary and secondary school level, not research-grade professionals.

PAEC covers a lot of ground: power generation, cancer treatment isotopes, agricultural research, and defence. It’s essentially one of the largest gatherings of advanced technical expertise in the country under a single roof.

The interesting bit is what this tells you about priorities.
When a government consistently funds and backs something over decades, talent follows.
The best minds go where the career paths, salaries, and resources are. PAEC built that ecosystem. Other sectors — healthcare, education, manufacturing — largely haven’t had the same sustained investment, so they struggle to attract and retain the same calibre of specialist.

It’s not a criticism, just an observation. You build what you fund.
Pakistan built nuclear capability.
The question worth asking is: what else could benefit from that same level of deliberate, long-term investment?

You can’t build trust when everything has a price tag.

Nobody’s ever built a productive relationship with a vending machine, right?

When you try to make sure everything is a commercial endeavor, that’s what you become. A vending machine.
Someone puts money in, and they get something out of it.

If you want to lift yourself above vending machine status, start giving.

When you give, you don’t just build a relationship, you build a reputation as someone who solves problems for people.

Trump back in 2011:

Obama will start a war with Iran, because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate.

[Dyab Abou Jahjah @Aboujahjah]

Two days ago, Israel assassinated nine Iranian scientists — university professors and researchers — in targeted airstrikes. Some of them were killed together with their families. Western media is acting as if this is an act of war.
Yet, this is a war crime, here’s why. 🧵 1/

Pakistan was the victim of similar bullying between the early 80s till mid-2000s - years after the nuclear tests.

They threatened our sovereignty, tried to isolate us, and even destroyed our economy via sanctions.

Several officers of the Air Force have stories about times when the entire fleet was airborne in anticipation of an attack on enrichment sites & underground facilities.

Don't let vile self-serving ego maniacs downplay Pakistan's achievements.

What came out of India’s live moderation contracts wasn’t just a workforce, it was a new doctrine for narrative control. These weren’t call center drones; they were trained in the raw mechanics of perception management: what gets seen, what gets suppressed, how long a post lives before it’s throttled, and how to flag the signal before it trends. When you train 20,000 people to decide what reality looks like for 3 billion users, you don’t just build an outsourced team, you build the muscle memory for censorship. You build a population that understands how narrative flow works, frame timing, swarm velocity, psychological overload, report thresholding. Delhi understood this. BJP didn’t just hijack the stack but inherited it, pre-tuned, from a decade of Silicon Valley protocols. All they had to do was swap the moral flag. The same men who tagged Kashmiri resistance videos as “graphic violence” now do it for Palestine, or Khalistan, or whoever Delhi circles next on the dashboard. This is post-kinetic warfare. No uniforms. Just swarm accounts, latency disruption, and thread burial. Not to persuade, but to exhaust. Not to win the argument, but to drown it in replies, bury it in reports, and hollow out the momentum before it reaches critical mass. Baluchistan. Gaza. Kashmir. Every theater has its own botnet regiment now trained in Hyderabad, routed through Gurugram, backed by policy insulation out of Menlo Park. The new frontline is your timeline.

There were a total of 161 blasts in Balochistan during election days in which 9 PS were completely destroyed and on those 9 PS PMLN won where polling didn't even happen. No mainstream media talked about this.

GE 2024 are the most sham, horrific & questionable election ever.
