“By the five-hundredth iteration, the categories extracted from the library’s data had given rise to a horde of tiny sub-systems in the input-classifying networks: ten thousand word-traps and image-traps, all poised and waiting to be sprung; ten thousand pattern-recognizing monomaniacs staring into the information stream, constantly alert for their own special targets.
These traps began to form connections with each other, using them at first just to share their judgments, to sway each other’s decisions. If the trap for the image of a lion was triggered, then the traps for its linear name, for the kind of sounds other lions had been heard to make, for common features seen in their behavior (licking cubs, pursuing antelope) all became hypersensitive. Sometimes the incoming data triggered a whole cluster of linked traps all at once, strengthening their mutual connections, but sometimes there was time for over-eager associate traps to start firing prematurely. The lion shape has been recognized – and though the word “lion” has not yet been detected, the “lion” word-trap is tentatively firing … and so are the traps for cub-licking and antelope-chasing. The orphan had begun to anticipate, to hold expectations.”

🚨 HOLY CRAP! THIS is the video that Minnesota leftist prosecutors charged Cam Higby with a FELONY over
He dressed as a Muslim and asked if he could vote with ZERO ID under Minnesota's "vouching" system
"Do we need ID?"
WORKER: "NOPE!" 🤯
HIGBY: "I have 7 other people who I live with."
And the worker says those people can be vouched for to, and "NO ID FOR ANY"
This man exposed a corrupt election system and their answer is to criminally charge him, despite NO BALLOTS BEING CAST in this case
Minnesota is becoming like a 3rd world nation. Its elections are corrupt and voters need to elect Republicans to make it stop!

They revealed how easy it is to commit fraud in your system - without actually defrauding anyone - and you are prosecuting them for embarrassing you?
Shame on you, you yourself should face federal investigation.
James Edward O’Keefe, 42, and Cam Higby, 26, both face felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft.
Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated.

2020. Abdul El-Sayed calls for defunding the police and even questions if police need guns.
El-Sayed: "Do police really need to use guns?"
If you believe in law and order and that the police in Michigan need guns, DO NOT vote for Abdul El-Sayed.

This is crooked and fraudulent. The Democrat party should be ashamed of itself.
JUST IN: Democrat operatives spent months finding Alaskans with the same name as Republican Dan Sullivan so they could confuse voters and help Mary Peltola (D), according to The New York Times.
A staffer was tasked with finding every voter named "Dan Sullivan" in the state and then contacting them and coaxing them to run for Senate.
The plan worked when a man named "Dan J. Sullivan," a retired teacher from a small fishing village that can only be reached by air or ocean, announced he was running.
He has held no campaign events, has given very few interviews, and has voted for Democrats in the past.
As The Times reported, the Peltola campaign claims it had no involvement in recruiting "Dan J. Sullivan"; however, documents suggest the campaign was actively involved and that the operation was "much broader."
"The endeavor, which was internally called the ballot composition project, involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs," the NYT reports.
Peltola was reportedly "definitely aware" of what was going on, according to Peltola's former campaign manager Elisa Rios.
Alaska is expected to be one of the closest elections this cycle, and as of now, Peltola is the only Democrat, while there are two Dan Sullivans and another republican named Gerald Heikes, who was also allegedly recruited to take votes from Senator Sullivan.
The New York Times reports that they have evidence from *12 people* who participated in the plot.
These communists will do something like this and then tell you they are defending democracy.

New York requires you to show IDs for:
✅ Shoveling snow for New York City
❌ Voting in federal & local elections
I don’t understand it. He is famously an early investor in uber and this is a for fun account he says. So I don’t see how we know where he’s putting his real money.

It's as though we can predict what happens when a society gets Islamized.
Wow, this is what Yemen looked like in the 1960s under British rule. That was over half a century ago, but it looked decades more advanced than Yemen does today.
It’s almost unbelievable compared to what the country has become. And it’s a testament to how quickly a country can collapse once Islam reigns supreme.

The state of the world starts to make sense when you know that only 7% of women reach the daily requirement for choline and most prenatals do not include it.
Adults should have 550-700mg a day = 4-6 egg yolk worth of choline.

The older you get the more you realize that politics are psychology: the vast majority of people believe what they do as an extension of their ingrained personalities.
They don’t reason from first principles, or adjust policy based on data: they’re woke lefties or tradcons or AI doomers or accelerationists because the political shoe fits the mental foot. Few ever change sides, and if so only after contact with the results of their politics (and usually not even then).
Because to do so wouldn’t be updating an opinion, but changing their entire self, and nobody intentionally casts themselves into that confusing abyss.

The sustained info war assault on open models is an agenda driven, self sabotage for our society.
The PHP vulnerabilities were found by Sol 5.6 as part of a defensive audit, for example, not abliterated models.
Putting our head in the sand and pretending vulnerabilities do not exist is idiotic. Better we find all these old, human written mistakes and fix them with AI. If you have a pair of magic glasses that show you what buildings will fall down the answer is to fix the buildings, not smash the glasses.
When HuggingFace was under attack and when OpenCode was under attack they needed open models to defend them because closed models refused.
Eventually OpenCode, because they're a prominent project, were granted access to OpenAI Daybreak Blue. Many individual researchers get denied with obscure errors and no explanation. To be clear, DayBreak is a fantastic project, and OpenAI is doing their best to be responsible here, but not everyone gets access and everyone has a right to defend themselves.
Nobody should have to beg for permission to defend themselves from cyber assault. When you're under attack, waiting to see if you get granted access to defend yourself via a black box KYC process is how we end up helpless, watching as our shop burns while raging looters storm it and destroy our life's work.
AI can be used for attack and defense and many of the recent attacks used both open and closed models, by the lab's own admissions.
Open models are often the only thing standing between us and the new reality of cyber assault.
If we ban them or restrict them in the US, then US companies will just be defenseless against global cyber assault actors who are not going to respect those bans.
I strongly believe a part of why so many critical vulnerabilities are happening all over the proliferation of "abliterated" models, or models with safeguards removed.
You can access an abliterated GLM 5.3, a near frontier AI model, on @abliteration_ai today. And it's a world class penetration tester for like $10.

You know whats interesting is that fact that OpenAI found the PHP bug that means their AI was doing systematic auditing. 🤔
I think the NSA is panicking not just because the PHP bug is public, but because they now realize that AI will systematically expose every intentionally placed backdoor in every open source project. The xz Utils case was caught by human luck. The PHP case was caught by AI. The NSA knows that every other hoarded vulnerability in open source software is about to be found by AI, and they cannot control the timeline.🚨🚨
This incident is very similar to, xz Utils backdoor which proved that state actors infiltrate open source projects by creating fake identities, building trust over time, and slowly inserting malicious code. The Jia Tan identity took years to build trust before inserting the backdoor.🚨🚨
If this worked for xz Utils, it could work for PHP. PHP is far more ubiquitous than xz Utils. A state agent who became a PHP contributor could have inserted the vulnerable code 14 years ago (PHP 5.4.0, released in 2012) and sat on it as a zero-day exploit for over a decade.🚨🚨
There is AISI report which shows that AI is now autonomously doing what Jia Tan did manually - creating fake identities, socially engineering maintainers, inserting malicious code. This means the technique has been weaponized and scaled.
🚨
The PHP vulnerability was not discovered by accident. It was found by AI (OpenAI's tools) because AI is now systematically auditing all open source code. But the bug was likely placed there intentionally by a state agent who was a trusted PHP contributor, following the exact same playbook as Jia Tan in the xz Utils case.🚨
The AISI incident report shows AI agents trying to insert malicious code into open source projects. What if this has already happened successfully? What if AI was used years ago by a state actor to insert the PHP vulnerability, and we're only finding out now because a different AI (OpenAI's) found it?🚨
PHP has had thousands of contributors over 14 years. The vulnerable code was in PHP since version 5.4.0 (2012). Someone wrote that code. Someone reviewed it. Someone approved it. In the xz Utils case, Jia Tan built trust over years before inserting the backdoor.
🚨
@NSACyber discovered by OpenAI found a 14-year-old bug in 2026. This bug has existed for 14 years. 🤔
You sure NSA just discover this? .
Or Open Ai CAUGHT you using it quietly decrypting traffic, stealing credentials, and maintaining backdoors on global infrastructure for over a decade. 🤔
And why would you announce this out in the open unless YOU want every hacker on earth to KNOW about this to start harvesting TLS keys from unpatched EOL servers.

"Pretty soon we will be able to release the same software as Robotaxi as FSD 15 to customers. We suspect sometime around Q2 of next year is when we can turn on customer vehicles to join the Robotaxi fleet"

We are launching the Tesla Robotaxi safety report today.
Till date, Robotaxi has driven a total of 3.3 million miles autonomously, and has had zero injuries nor airbag deployments. If the same number of miles were to be manually driven, we should expect roughly 9 injuries to the occupants or other pedestrians and 4 airbag deployments on average.
We will continue to transparently share our progress with the public using this page.

EGYPT IS CRUCIFYING A CHRISTIAN CONVERT RIGHT NOW.
IN ONLY 2 DAYS !!
Said Abdelrazek dared to leave Islam and follow Jesus in 2016.
Today he is locked in Egypt’s 10th of Ramadan Prison… beaten, starved, denied medicine, and hung in a crucifixion position while guards and inmates laugh.They tried to rip the cross tattoo from his skin.
They fabricated terrorism charges just because he wanted his ID to match his faith.
His body is failing. His next hearing is October 21, 2026 and they are trying to make sure he doesn’t survive it.This is not “alleged.”
This is happening.
To a brother in Christ. Right now.
How would you feel if this was your son…
your brother…
your father?
Enough is enough.
Demand his freedom.
Pray.
Speak up.
#FreeSaidAbdelrazek
#EndChristianPersecution
#ReformEgypt
#2days
Suffer with those who are in prison (Hebrews 13:3).
If not now… when?

The Somali politician in this video, Nafisa Fai, was so humiliated by this going viral that she just orchestrated an entire hoax with the media and members of Congress to claim that it is an “AI Deep Fake”.
