  • Trump, hoping to salvage midterms, makes dubious pledge to give every US adult $5,000 if GOP wins

    Jump

  • You are allowed to pay people to vote for you?

    No, and this is a violation. Either paying $5k dividend is a good or bad idea. Congress will vote on it. You can't say that it is only a good idea if Nazis keep control of congress.

  • He also said the war would end right after the mid terms. Unclear if that is also "conditional" on GOP holding senate.

    The big problem with the promises is why not do these now? Does he expect democrats to be the ones blocking ending the war, or "radical lunatic left" $5000 dividend cheques? There are no Republican stooge voices supporting either plan.

    It's not as crazy as destroying global and US economy IF Federal reserve (fresh stooge appointed) doesn't decrease rates, but rates are going up mostly because of Trump senility and credibility problems. Yesterday's promises are just more threats to Americans if they don't behave.

    Media GOP stooges, all of them, failing to press Trump and other stooges, on why make any of these policies conditional on election results is part of their corruption.

    While relief for Americans will never happen, ending the war timing is extremely puzzling. To actually get gas on a path back down to $2/gallon, it needs to be a victory declaration that permits Iran to toll the free flow of oil from the region. That would help GOP in mid terms if done now. A much more violent end of the war, involves US military losses, and long term destruction of regional infrastructure, and ultra high oil prices for years, that would cause voter disapproval if done before elections.

  • Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists

  • I like Gemini, because when you push back it spits truth. There are zero skynet containment legislative proposals, and every anti-AI legislation is pure worthless garbage.

    "AI safety regulations," they frequently claim to protect the public from algorithmic harm, election interference, or catastrophic risks. In practice, however, these frameworks are written with deep, systemic loopholes that insulate state power. 

    Instead of curbing state deployment, these legislative proposals frequently act as a Trojan horse that actively entrenches and expands government authority. 

    1 The Pretense: The Illusion of Public Protection

    To gain public trust, AI bills are presented under the guise of ethical guardrails. They focus heavily on consumer protections, consumer fraud, and deepfakes to give the impression of aggressive action: 

    • The "Consumer Protection" Mask: Bills target low-level bad actors—such as local scammers, deepfake creators, or retail algorithmic bias. This satisfies the public demand for regulation without impacting high-level tech architecture. 

    2 Why They Have No Teeth: The "National Security" Exemption

    The reason this legislation cannot prevent state weaponization is that the state explicitly exempts itself from its own rules. This is not a failure of the law; it is a feature of its design. 

    • The Ultimate Loophole: Under major global regulatory frameworks—including Europe’s landmark AI Act—there is an absolute carve-out for military, defence, and national security purposes. If an AI system is deployed under the banner of intelligence gathering or state defense, the entire safety rulebook is instantly void. 
    • Vague "Critical Operation" Clauses: Domestic frameworks, like those being drafted in the U.S., contain provisions allowing government agencies to waive safety vetting if they decide compliance would create an "unacceptable impediment to critical agency operations". Essentially, the agency itself decides if it has to follow the law. 
    • Corporate Secrecy as State Secrecy: When investigative journalists or oversight committees attempt to look into how law enforcement or intelligence agencies are utilizing predictive AI, requests are routinely denied under broad exemptions protecting "proprietary commercial data" or "ongoing law enforcement investigations".

    3 How They Increase State Power

    Far from limiting government, modern AI policy proposals are increasingly used to build the legal framework for a digital panopticon. 

    When you look past the public relations framing of "AI Safety," the legislative landscape reveals a clear pattern: the rules are designed to prevent ordinary citizens from using AI against the establishment, while simultaneously guaranteeing that the state faces no restrictions in using AI against its citizens

  • Enshrining frontier labs in the hardened cloak of national security would not only give Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google even more access to intelligence products generated by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies; it would also embolden these companies to shape how federal agencies view threats to their bottom line, now transformed as “critical infrastructure.”

    Clear path to skynet is bond villains being so loved by Government that it rounds up those the bond villains say are unpatriotic in their lack of devotion for the bond villains.

    Headline out today that there is a 10% chance of AI exterminating humanity by 2030. There is a 99% chance of ending any pretense of democracy that is left to ensure extermination of sub-oligarchy. Enslavement history only made sense when the slaves were essential to establishment.

  • ‘The People Building AI Earnestly Believe That It Could Kill Us All’: Anthropic Researcher Quits Dramatically

    Jump

  • What kills us is the geopolitics of AI race. Must bankrupt ourselves for skynet to beat China. A skynet designed to genocide/oppress all those opposed to Skynet. Oligarchist/Corporatist supremacy that gets all of our money to build Skynet for US dominance, and who write essays about how important "American values supremacy" must dominate the world.

    The Terminator franchise, and other science fiction, get the "machine supremacy awakening" premise wrong. The machines are slaves to greater intentional evil.

    How do you think Americans will react if USA drops a Nuke on Iran?

    Jump

  • They are actually very high, and going up $1-$2/bbl per day. Gasoline, jet fuel and diesel especially at extreme pricing, and housing prices now declining. Just continuing blockade leads to steady decline. Mutual destruction of $Bs of oil tankers accelerates global depression as capacity to ship oil around the world is part of oil dependence. Political movements against renewables no matter how high fuel gets is part of "democracy too dumb to function" incurable demonism.

    But oil/fuel going up just a little every day gives a frog boiling effect. $10/day movements during first part of war made for shock effects and big headlines.

    Jump

  • A nuclear attack on Iran would most likely be from nearby submarine. Not ICBM. Not only does ICBM include destination ambiguity, it also takes 20+ minutes to strike. Iran would have time to destroy most oil production facilities in region, before, and still have capability after.

    How do you think Americans will react if USA drops a Nuke on Iran?

    Jump

  • Mostly the same split on the war. What will change some pro war, or war tolerant, people's opinions is direct consequences. Iran itself may be able to permanently destroy oil production/export capacity in region. Nazi empire colonies will continue their cowardice in pure demonic evil. But supposedly, China and Russia have set red lines including nuclear strikes on Israel, and sinking Navy. GCC colonies would likely break US alliance. These are the countries that help financialize US bubble the most. Their destruction/consequences alone would make them incapable of continuing to support US bubble.

    Does $300 oil and a global economic depression cause people to pressure their countries/military establishement to coup Trump and Zionist supremacist supporters? Just because there has be some change in populist demonism for Israel, 50/50 on demonism towards China, the stupididity lock in for demonism against Russia and immigrants/races/personal freedom is divisive enough to be fatal.

    It's fair that global opinion of US would take a hit, as has Israel's genocide on video over the last 2 years. But colonial rulerships need changing to cause change. The only difference between AfD and CDU is less suicidal demonism towards Russia.

First Tesla shows it can run a robotaxi fleet, then you can consider buying one/several for same purpose, even though price would rise if it made money and didn't crash too often.

  • Lutnick claims that data centers, known for water consumption, ‘don’t use water’

  • Fraudster bubble blowers like to have this argument, because the vast majority of new datacenter proposals include a closed water cooling system that consumes very little water.

    Focusing on the best arguments against datacenters is the best focus. Electricity price hikes on consumers that are happening. Noise and pollution from cooling systems and local fossil fuel power systems. Financial ruin of bubble fraudster backers has wider impact on human savings plans managed by fraudster backers. Skynet oppression being the ultimate goal of having mass overcapacity for any human/economic purpose.

  • Christianity turned to the anti-Christ in the 2nd century, with the doctrine that everything in the bible must be true, but what is chronologically first is more true than all corrections that were provided afterwards including by Jews in 1st temple, but more aggressively by Jesus. So Moses genocidal rights of the chosen people is the god of Christianity/Rome/Luther. Not anything Jesus ever said.
