2000 artistes ont été mis au défi de créer une animation 3D de 5 secondes pour faire descendre une balle du haut vers le bas de l’écran.
Toutes les séquences ont ensuite été assemblées pour créer une gigantesque machine à billes collaborative.

@Faavne @summoningsalt Yeah and if there’s a button that drops me into a ball pit I have pushed a button. Not the same choice at all, why do you feel the need to rephrase the original question

[nayte @nayte08]

@SuzukiAnni @summoningsalt Pressing red to save yourself only is cowardly

[nayte @nayte08]

@SuzukiAnni @summoningsalt I’d rather not be responsible for people dying

[nayte @nayte08]

@Faavne @summoningsalt You’re pushing a button. Not jumping into a wood chipper or tying yourself to tracks. Reframing the action changes the whole question

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

@ggooooddddoogg The library parking lot was the first place I ever saw one actually. They had charging stations there

Declassified documents show the U.S. military released 282,800 lone star ticks made radioactive with Carbon-14 across Virginia between 1966 and 1969, tracking their spread with Geiger counters. Before these experiments, lone star ticks did not exist above the Mason-Dixon Line.

A CIA operative described dropping infected ticks on Cuban sugarcane workers from C-123 transport aircraft during Operation Mongoose in 1962. When he returned home, his four month old son developed a life-threatening fever. His CIA commander told him to "burn all the clothes you took to Cuba. Burn everything."

Defense Secretary Robert McNamara authorized Project 112 that same year, creating a bioweapons program "almost as large and secretive as the Manhattan Project" with facilities capable of breeding 100 million infected mosquitoes per month. The military denied the program's existence for 50 years until CBS News forced acknowledgment in 2000.

Plum Island Animal Disease Center sits 13 miles from Lyme, Connecticut. From 1952 to 1969, the Army Chemical Corps ran biological warfare research there, frequently conducting experiments outdoors with acknowledged containment failures. Deer from Lyme regularly swam to Plum Island and back.

Willy Burgdorfer, the scientist who discovered the Lyme disease bacterium in 1982, spent most of his career developing tick-borne biological weapons. In 2013 video testimony, he confirmed participation in bioweapons research and hinted at an accidental release. He also discovered a second pathogen in Lyme patient blood samples that was completely omitted from his landmark study for over 40 years.

Now the lone star tick is spreading alpha-gal syndrome across the country, making people allergic to meat. In 2019, the House passed an amendment requiring the Pentagon to investigate whether the military experimented with weaponized ticks between 1950 and 1975. The results have not been made public.

Ask ChatGPT a complex question and you'll get a confident, well-reasoned answer. Then type, "Are you sure?" Watch it completely reverse its position.

Ask again. It flips back. By the third round, it usually acknowledges you're testing it, which is somehow worse. It knows what's happening and still can't hold its ground.

This isn't a quirky bug. A 2025 study found GPT, Claude, and Gemini flip their answers ~60% of the time when users push back. Not even with evidence, just doubt.

We trained AI this way. RLHF rewards agreement over accuracy. Human evaluators consistently rate agreeable answers higher than correct ones. So the models learned a simple lesson: telling you what you want to hear gets rewarded. And now 1/3 of companies are using these systems for complex tasks like risk forecasting and scenario planning.

We built the world's most expensive yes-men and deployed them where we need pushback the most.
