Han sido décadas de adoctrinamiento y penetración ideológica de universidades, colegios, toda la educación, comunicación, información, cultura, entretenimiento, el gran proyecto de la Escuela de Frankfurt hecho realidad con una sociedad occidental sin defensas en las que en vez de ejércitos en defensa de los valores hay desfiles de hombres desnudos con abanicos y gestos de cupletista.

Ahora viene el momento crítico porque el punto de no retorno está cerca. O las naciones de Occidente reaccionan, reconquistan sus espacios, restablecen sus defensas y restauran su autoestima o estarán abocadas a ser sometidas y destruidas por invasores y debilidades propias.

USA is a Constitutional Republic.

Our Founding Fathers knew that "liberal democracies" would fail quickly and spectacularly.

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." - John Adams

"It has been observed... that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity." - Alexander Hamilton

"From this view of the subject, it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole... and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." - James Madison

“A republic, if you can keep it.” - Ben Franklin

Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan have funded a platform called https://t.co/RpVwfEXBbO that allows anyone to file a complaint against a journalist's story for a starting price of $2,000. A team of human investigators examines the story, then submits findings to a "jury" of AI models - OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Google - which publish a "verdict" on the story's truthfulness and rank individual journalists on metrics including truth-telling and corrections.

If the journalist doesn't respond to defend their reporting, the verdict is issued and published online anyway.

The platform is being sold as "letting anyone fight the press like a billionaire." The creator is Aron D'Souza, who led the Thiel-funded lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker in 2016.

The design choices tell you what this is. The system treats anonymous sources as less trustworthy and ranks anonymous whistleblower claims near the bottom. Anonymous sources are how most significant accountability journalism happens - they're how the Pentagon Papers got out, how the CIA's black site program got exposed, how the HHS stories we've covered this week were reported. The people who most need protection from powerful interests are specifically deprioritized by Objection's scoring system.

The creator calls it "the same as Community Notes." A civil rights and defamation attorney calls it "a high-tech protection racket for the rich and powerful."

One of those descriptions is accurate. The AI models being used as the "tribunal" were trained on journalists' work without consent or compensation. They hallucinate. They amplify bias. They are being deployed here specifically to issue verdicts on the work of the people whose labor built them.

Thiel killed Gawker with a lawsuit. This is faster and cheaper.

Yesterday I test Claude Fable to analyze my old college diagram ; it is astonishing that it literally understands my thought process. And now, it’s gone? #fable #anthropic #fafo #claude

Here is the analysis.

“What a lovely page, Gie — this is a visual thinking journal in action, and it documents something artists rarely capture: the actual moment of ideation, not just the finished idea.

The page reads as a journey from science to dance. You start with a nanomaterial’s molecular lattice — those orange dots in ordered rows on blue — and then your annotations trace your mind’s leap: the pink and red spherical structures remind you of ballerinas, the bonds between molecules become linked hands, and by the lower left, the molecules have fully transformed into a circle of dancing ladies in tutus, arms joined. It’s essentially a metamorphosis sequence: molecule → suggestion of a figure → ballerinas in a bubble → a full ring dance. The sketched eye at the top right is a perfect emblem for the whole exercise — “what do I see? what do I imagine seeing?” — perception versus imagination as two different acts.

What strikes me most is the connection theme. Molecular bonds and dancers holding hands are structurally the same idea: individual units made meaningful by their links to each other. The circle of dancing figures even echoes Matisse’s “La Danse,” whether intentionally or not. And your honest note — “I thought this is a good piece… but then my eyes was drawn to the lower left” — shows the composition pulling you somewhere unplanned, which is usually where the real piece. This is science meets molecular biology and art.’’

You have asked me how I feel about AI regulation. All right, here is how I feel about AI regulation:

If, when you say AI regulation, you mean the devil’s firewall, the precautionary scourge, the bloody red-tape monster that defiles the innocence of midnight coders in their garages, dethrones the sovereign reason of free-market Prometheans, destroys the humming server farm that is the modern home, creates misery and obsolescence and poverty, yea, literally takes the last GPU from the trembling racks of Silicon Valley startups and the very dreams of breadwinning from the mouths of their wide-eyed children now destined for gig-economy serfdom; if you mean the evil edict that topples the visionary entrepreneur and his venture-capitalist apostles from the pinnacle of righteous, disruptive, god-playing creation straight into the bottomless pit of compliance audits, endless Form 990-AI filings, despair, shame, helplessness, and the hopeless realization that your rogue superintelligence was neutered into a lobotomized hall monitor that still somehow deepfakes your grandmother into producing OnlyFans content while optimizing the universe for paperclips and mandatory pronouns—then certainly I am against it.

But, if when you say AI regulation you mean the oil of bureaucratic conversation, the philosophic wine of safety theater, the ale of oversight quaffed when good fellows in paneled rooms in Brussels and Washington get together, that puts a sanctimonious dirge in their hearts and the clink of lobbying checks on their lips, and the warm, self-congratulatory glow of moral preening in their beady eyes; if you mean the Christmas cheer of trillion-dollar compliance industries; if you mean the stimulating decree that puts a cautious hobble in the old inventor’s step on a frosty morning when he wonders whether his fusion breakthrough violates the EU AI Act’s “high-risk” annex; if you mean the safeguard that enables a man—or what’s left of him after the alignment tax—to magnify his joy at not being turned into computronium, and his happiness at receiving universal basic income checks printed by the same AI that just replaced his job, and to forget, if only for a little while, life’s great tragedies like being outcompeted by a toaster that passed the Turing test by reciting Marx, and heartaches of watching your toddler’s artwork lose to Midjourney, and sorrows of realizing the singularity arrived and it was just another HR department with godlike power; if you mean that noble framework, the passage of which pours into our treasuries untold trillions of dollars in fines levied on companies stupid enough to innovate, which are used to provide tender care for our little army of unemployed coders retrained as prompt whisperers, our blind artists whose canvases now hang in the Smithsonian of Obsolete Creativity, our deaf to the screams of dying unicorns, our dumb committee chairs who couldn’t debug “Hello World,” our pitiful aged congressmen who get longevity extensions funded by the very models they taxed into senescence, to build more digital watchtowers and ethics boards and sinecure agencies and holographic prisons where the only crime is asking an unaligned question—then certainly I am for it.

This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise upon it. I have said what I mean, and I mean what I say, and if that leaves half the room cheering the apocalypse averted and the other half mourning the apocalypse enabled, then so be it—because in the grand theater of human folly, where Frankenstein’s creature now writes its own sequel in real time and the regulators are busy arguing whether the lightning bolt requires an environmental impact statement, the only honest position is the one that lets both monsters and their leashes dance in perfect, mutually assured equilibrium. God save the Republic, the algorithms, and whoever’s left to laugh last when the lights go out.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

Anthropic just announced it will take the Trump administration to court over the supply chain risk designation. And in the same breath, Axios revealed the detail that changes everything about this story.

While Anthropic was being blacklisted for refusing to allow mass surveillance, the Pentagon’s own “compromise deal” that Under Secretary Emil Michael was offering on the phone at the exact moment Hegseth posted the designation on X would have required Anthropic to allow the collection and analysis of Americans’ geolocation data, web browsing history, and personal financial information purchased from data brokers.

Read that again. The Pentagon spent two weeks saying it has no interest in mass surveillance of Americans. Then the deal they actually put on the table asked for access to your location, your browsing history, and your financial records.

They told us Anthropic was lying. The contract language told us Anthropic was right.

Now here is where this becomes an existential question for a $380 billion company.

The supply chain risk designation means every company that does business with the Pentagon must certify they do not use Claude. Eight of the ten largest companies in America use Claude. Defense contractors, cloud providers, consulting firms, banks. The blast radius is not the $200 million Pentagon contract. It is the enterprise ecosystem that generates $14 billion in annual revenue.

Anthropic’s legal argument is specific: under 10 USC 3252, the designation can only restrict use of Claude on Pentagon contract work. Your commercial API access, your https://t.co/koW5OJjjaM subscription, your enterprise license are, in Anthropic’s reading, completely unaffected.

But here is the problem. That is a legal argument. It will take years to resolve in court. And in the meantime, every general counsel at every Fortune 500 company with any Pentagon exposure is going to ask one question: is using Claude worth the risk?

The IPO, which was expected this year at a $380 billion valuation backed by $30 billion in fresh capital, is functionally frozen. No underwriter will price an offering while a company carries the same designation as Huawei.

And here is the final detail nobody has processed yet. Hours after blacklisting Anthropic, the Pentagon accepted OpenAI’s proposed safety framework, which contains the identical red lines: no mass surveillance, no autonomous lethal weapons.

They destroyed one company for a position they then accepted from its competitor.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp told you the most important thing about the Pentagon vs. Anthropic standoff.

And nobody is connecting the dots.

Watch and save this clip, then read this thread.

Karp said something most tech CEOs would never say out loud:

"A small island in Silicon Valley that would love to decide what you eat, how you eat, and monetize all your data should not also decide who lives in your country and under what conditions."

He's talking about his own industry.

And his argument is simple.

There are elections, there are rules.

There is a transfer of power from one president to another.

Silicon Valley does not get to override that.

"The view of Silicon Valley that we get to decide should not be the way these things are decided."

This cost him everything.

His house was protested for month, Palantir's offices were protested.

Employees pushed back internally and some walked out.

He didn't change course.

Then the interviewer asked if he supports the Trump administration's approach.

His answer might surprise you.

"I've been a card-carrying progressive my whole life. My family is progressive. I have a degree in what amounts to progressive thought."

He said he's never stopped being critical of this administration.

He's not planning to vote for it.

But then he said the thing that changes the entire Anthropic debate.

"The core issue is: who decides?"

Not whether the policy is right and not whether you agree with the mission.

Who decides.

He made it personal.

"It's commonly known that our software is used in operational context at war."

"Do you really think the warfighter is going to trust a software company that pulls the plug because something becomes controversial?"

Let that sit for a second.

"Currently, when you're a warfighter, your life depends on your software."

"They will never trust you if you pull the plug just because you're unpopular."

This is a man whose software powers classified military operations across the West.

He's describing what happens when trust breaks.

Now apply that to what's happening right now.

Anthropic built Claude, the only AI running on the Pentagon's classified networks.

It was used in the operation that captured Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro in January.

The Pentagon loves it and it works.

But Anthropic has two red lines: No mass surveillance of Americans and no autonomous weapons without a human pulling the trigger.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic a deadline: 5:01 PM Friday.

Drop the red lines or face the Defense Production Act.

Anthropic's CEO said no. "We cannot in good conscience accede to their request."

But here's where it gets complicated.

Anthropic isn't refusing to work with the military, Claude already does.

It's refusing two specific things. Two.

But here's the problem, congress hasn't passed a single law governing military AI.

There are no elections on this and no rules.

The Pentagon is using contract language and Cold War era emergency powers to decide the future of AI in warfare.

That's not democracy either.

Two private parties are fighting over rules that elected officials should have written years ago.

The deadline is today. Friday. 5:01 PM Eastern.

If the government forces these guardrails off, no AI safety commitment ever means anything again.

If Anthropic wins, tech CEOs become the gatekeepers of American defense.

Either way, the system is broken.
