Nationwide blackouts have left millions across Cuba without power. Some outages can last up to 20 hours, disrupting everything from food storage, to cooking, to sleep.

Blackouts have become an ongoing crisis since the U.S. blocked all oil shipments to the island in January.

JUST IN🚨: Colombia bans all new oil and mining in its Amazon rain-forest. The protected area is the size of Sweden and covers 42% of the country.

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.”

it was called project panama.

here's exactly what happened:

1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.”

2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy.

it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.”

3: that piracy created a massive legal risk.

so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.”

4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs.

those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers.

5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months.

6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them.

a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling.

7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data.

the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

🚨 FLOCK JUST GOT CAUGHT BY A REPORTER — THEIR CAMERAS ARE SECRETLY TRACKING PEOPLE IN REAL TIME

"You're saying Flock does not track people, correct?"

A Flock representative tried to deny it.

But then they showed the Condor camera — the one designed to literally follow your movements in real time.

No matter which way you move, the camera moves with you.

And that's not all.

These cameras can zoom in on your phone screen to see what you're looking at, recognize faces, and pull up personal details in minutes using commercial facial recognition.

One example: They tracked a couple arguing at a street market and within two minutes knew one just finished medical school and the other has chronic IBS.

Cops are openly bragging that "you can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing."

They said it was just for license plates.

This is full-blown surveillance, and it's already everywhere.

Should Flock's Condor cameras be allowed to track people in real time?
