Today is Trinity Sunday. I spent the afternoon contemplating this mornings mass service on the mystery of the Holy Trinity. Have just now picked up my book and low and behold the next chapter....
Watching an ancient entity utilize unwitting hosts to create the architecture necessary for its reemergence is surreal. And diabolical.
Talk about long game.
Possession, demonology, Pocket Monster… who would’ve thought
This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
Did you guys know that the word "daily" in the Lord's Prayer is a wild-guess translation of a Greek word found nowhere else but in the Gospels, and no one actually knows what it means???
This is Frightening. Kevin McKernan found something unexpected in the colon cancer biopsy of someone who had 4 x Pfizer mRNA covid vaccines
"We are finding this in a colon cancer sample and it's making spike proteins and it's a very high copy number, which means it's replication competent".
He adds "Transmissible Cancer is really not something we want"
Meet the director of "Project On Government Oversight" (POGO), an NGO funded by USAID. He testified today that he hasn't seen any evidence of widespread abuse or waste in government spending.
The problem is... Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette is blind.
