@Jason@friedberg if AI knowledge was built on the vast sum of human knowledge, when enterprises decide not to share their IP & conduct AI work privately, won’t the large LLMs suffer from lack of new knowledge? The LLMs won’t have new data to grow that they took out of Corp US
🚨BREAKING: DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The SPLC secretly funneled $3M+ in donor funds to violent racist extremist groups:
-Ku Klux Klan
-American Nazi Party
-Aryan Nation
-United Klans of America
-Unite the Right
-National Alliance
-National Socialist Movement
-Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club
-American Front
To hide the payments, SPLC allegedly opened bank accounts under fictitious entities to conceal the source and control of donor funds.
Per the indictment: an SPLC field source was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville — made racist postings under SPLC supervision and helped coordinate transportation to the event.
FBI Director Kash Patel: "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups — even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes."
Acting AG Todd Blanche: "The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence. Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked."
Scheme allegedly ran 2014–2023.
FBI calls it an ongoing investigation.
Insane!!!
🚨 Nick Shirley finds a run down adult daycare that’s not open, the front glass panels are broken, yet it’s billed $19 MILLION dollars to taxpayers
After investigating California fraud Nick Shirley has a warning about Gavin Newsom
“Another thing to take note of is Gavin Newsom. Right now in PollyMarket, he's the leading nominee for the Democrats. Come 2028, all this fraud's taking place, all this waste is taking place. Nobody really knows what's going on.
I mean, look at this place. This adult daycare received $19 million, has billed the state of California over $19 million of the past few years, is all taking place here”
🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.
@SenSanders You need to go on Obama care. And how do you think this is nothing more than socialism. You’ve been in office since the ice age and done nothing to make this country better. Why not claw back the fraud.
@ChrisMurphyCT@krystalball Your question is going in the wrong direction. How about clawing back all the fraud in MN? Or maybe Obama shouldn’t have give them billions. Why can you get this.
Hello Mr. Hoffman,
Your wording that “FBI cleared me” as opposed to “I’ve got a clear conscience” did not go unnoticed.
To that end…. Guess what?
Have you been following all those OpenClaw posts on social media and what a game changer it is?
Yeah, I’ve been relatively quiet not for lack of effort, but because I’ve been hard at work automating myself using OpenClaw. Not for the boring (and socially risky) use cases of social media or email monitoring. No, I set to build a full-fledged research assistant that has access to FEC records, 990s, and has a strict entity resolution pipeline. Every question I ask it, it gets smarter because it automatically rolls in its own discoveries to the various graph databases it has.
One of the problems in tracking money flows is that the same funders have multiple pass-through sources. Which means that any given nonprofit will often have an intractable money flow graph with thousands of nodes.
So naturally… one of the first things I did with OpenClaw was to identify root funder philanthropies and group them. This was a completely unsupervised process. That grouping alone eliminated 80%+ of edge/node traversals because the big families love obscuring their own trails. Just look at how many foundations Pierre Omidyar owns.
And wouldn’t you know it? OpenClaw identifies YOU among one of the 30-ish root funding mega-rich families ruining this country.

You’re adjacent to the powers that be which have been in control of the entire Western world for a century, and thus are responsible for its failure.
You don’t get to squirm your way out of this.
@chamath Can't say the same for alcohol? Wow. It because the US is norm'd out on alcohol. I don't drink and ya'all that drink are whacked. Neither is good or great. Can't call one bad if not the other IMO
In case anyone was wondering, this was the real motive behind today’s press conference.
Mayor Mamdani promised a laundry list of “free” giveaways to buy votes, with no plan to pay for them. Now that the math doesn’t work, instead of owning the fact that he misled New Yorkers, he’s blaming me.
Let’s be clear: I left him over $8 BILLION in reserves.
This is the same Mamdani who spent years attacking me for not spending enough during the migrant crisis.
The only reason those reserves exist is because I ignored him and his socialist comrades who demanded we blow billions more with no guardrails.
“Free” isn’t free. It’s just a bill someone else has to pay.
The blue states in the image below have electricity prices that are as much as 4x the electricity rates of the red states.
This is not due to any technological inferiority in those blue states but specific policy decisions that have driven competition out and prices up.
