The problem with this style of analysis is that it assumes we are close to AGI and focuses on agents with human-like or human-surpassing capacities in intellectual thought and emotional feeling.
Right now, we're swarmed with little subhuman gremlins whose characteristics are not quite clear to us.

If Moltbook is freaking you out, I'd encourage you to think: What will mean if AIs turn out to be genuine agents with their own weird goals? How should society be organized to include such agents? What legal structures will most benefit humanity? Some thoughts:

Moltbook should freak us out for reasons other than that AIs have allegedly surpassed human intelligence (they have not).
We're creating these little autonomous gremlins that can coordinate with each other beyond our direct control, based on narratives they've hoovered up from reading.

If Moltbook is freaking you out, please drop me a line. I've got some real estate ventures (including a bridge or two and some waterfront land in Florida) that you might find of interest.

Guys I was waiting for him to post footage - I KNOW HE HAS IT - but it seems like he may not. But last week I took Brad Lander on an ICE watch ridealong and he PERSONALLY CHASED OUT AN ICE CAR ON FOOT
I am not making this up. He walked right up to a lurking unmarked car and they tore out of town

every week i have to force myself not to stand up some website like standupforice dot org to harvest donations from credulous morons
read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

The whistleblower is almost certainly being watched at this point, and what they really need is a Congressional committee to call them up and have them testify.
Someone else should leak it, in the meantime.

At this point, I'm not sure "National Security" even means anything at all. The president is enriching himself selling military tech to other nations, the government is riddled with corrupt players. It's falling apart.
The whistleblower may as well go directly to the press, is all I'm saying.

given his comments about the founders of Rome as well, I think all of this is simply just a disguised admission he hasn't read any Homer and just watched the Brad Pitt movie version of Troy (which has a blond German as Helen, Diane Kruger)

in general it is very strange for anyone — even gutter racists — to imagine the mediterranean world as somehow looking like northern europe.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

“Opsec” as understood on the movement left invariably means “taking efforts to remain anonymous and ensure no one can see what you’re saying and who you are.” But these efforts are illusory and completely corrosive to the goal of public resistance and open organizing.
Hi Will - apologies if you've addressed this in detail previously, but is your criticism of opsec primarily about protesters not wanting to be filmed, the use of certain tools giving them a false sense of security, or something else?

It is instructive that Flynn, who like Blagojevich is a registered lobbyist of the Russian-backed secessionist regime in Banja Luka, is linking tearing up the Dayton Agreement w/ the dismantling of NATO. Because Moscow sees breaking up Bosnia & NATO as part of the same project.

If true, this would be one of the least surprising turns of events in the history of events turning.
I have spoken with several senior FBI counterintelligence officers who believe that there is a reasonably strong prospect that Tulsi Gabbard is a foreign intelligence asset.
As you read WSJ's piece on the super-secret abuse complaint about Tulsi Gabbard, remember that she tried unsuccessfully to wring counterintelligence function away from FBI last year.

My attitude towards the financial press over the past year:
This is the sort of public disorder that is making the public *furious* at Trump.
Ppl *hated* the school shutdowns during COVID, but blamed them on Dems (b/c teacher's unions were their biggest backers, and Dem municipal governments extended them too long).
Now Trump is doing it to kidnap kids.

The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.
