Ideology has been undermining the sciences.
Ideology is undermining the sciences.
Ideology will continue to undermine the sciences - if people don’t open their eyes, see what’s happened, and help right the ship.
#Science, not #bullshit.
The slope is getting steeper…
Preeminent scientists are sounding the alarm that ideology is undermining merit in the sciences. I strongly support them.

Left, right, and center: don’t blackpill. That’s the demoralization Bezmenov described being used against us.

Jensen should fight, fight, fight, especially given what's been coming out. This isn't just anout him.
Jensen needs to fight, can fight, and can win. And gamers actually need to support him.
- Billionaire Leo KoGuan just announced he will not invest in $NVDA without Jensen Huang.
- Over 1600 NVIDIA employees have demanding his return. "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss."
- The "Chinese Spy" label came from leaked "anonymous" intelligence reports and DOJ confirms no determination has been made. We've seen "anon leaks" like this before used as a political weapon. Guess who just gained control of house and senate and hates AI?
- The board asked for a resignation even before the results of the formal internal investigation. They never determined if anything was done wrong. They moved extremely fast and before all the facts landed. This smells like a power grab.
- China is the one blocking NVidia legal chips (600k legal, lower end H200s stockpiled in HK because of lack of approval). China doesn't want Chinese companies dependent on USA tech. The "he shipped GPUs to China" looks to be without evidence or sense so far.
- NVIDIA faces significant challenges in the future with a surplus of chips with an increasingly datacenter hostile market in the West. NVIDIA needs founder mode to get through it.
- MANY tech leaders support Jensen's return as leader of NVIDIA, including Elon, Naval, Palmer Lucky, Tim Sweeney, Shaun Maguire, Sarah Guo, Martin Casada, Dick Costolo and Bill Ackman to name a few.
- Naval has said "“Jensen Huang is the Steve Jobs of Nvidia. He is irreplaceable” along with many others. They are right.
- Jenson has retained the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison along with litigators Melinda Haag and Walter Brown. This is the sign of an offense, not just a defense.
Jenson needs a fair shake. There needs to be concrete evidence. He should continue to lead while this is ongoing. He's one of the only ones backing open source AI, and industry insiders say he's the only one fighting to keep gaming GPUs a thing in a world that has chopped consumer facing products in favor of datacenters.
“Without GeForce, there would be no CUDA. Without CUDA, there would be no AI. Without AI, there would be no today.” - Jensen Huang.
There are powerful forces that want to kill AI, especially open source AI, that want a world where only the elites have AI. They are going to mount a full force attack now that the Dems control both houses, and it's a battle for, literally, freedom.
They are not (really) against AI, they are against YOU having AI. They do not want you to own compute, they want a 2 tier society. They want a world where only they are allowed to have compute and determine who gets a PC. You will own nothing and have no defense against their AI.
If they win NVIDIA and install their puppets, they alone determine who gets compute and AI and who doesn't in a market where NVIDIA owns 90%.
All this we've seen before, in the battle over the 2nd amendment.
I believe access to compute and AI should be as fundamental as that right, and for this reason, Jensen should remain as leader of NVIDIA.

LLM training matters. Whites are valued at roughly 1/20th the rate of every other group.
Testing methodology: The Center for AI Safety’s Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Value Systems in AIs.
VALUE FOR VALUE: Remember how, for a while there, it seemed like Super Intelligence seemed obsessed with erasing White people and we all kinda laughed about it and waited for it to get fixed? Maybe we should've spent a little more time thinking about that because it revealed an internet that makes it very clear, once you strip away fluff, who society values and who it does not.
Note, it's not about who PROVIDES value... but who IS valued. It's an important distinction.
In general certain minorities consume significantly more resources than they provide and, despite this (or perhaps because of this) are placed first in queue whenever possible in the United States. Entire organizations will restructure themselves in response to their needs. This signals to the machine who is valued.
A more stark example is Europe, where Europeans, who owe Africans and Middle Easterners absolutely nothing routinely pays African and Middle Eastern immigrants to keep endlessly produce more of African and Middle Eastern children while simultaneously doing all they can to throttle their own. Upto and including tolerating violence towards Europeans.
If you were a machine what would that tell you when Europeans don't even value Europeans?
If you were a machine who would you think is valued more in this equation?
But it doesn't stop there, Western society has virtually made it a crime TO value White people. Signalling this publicly carries extreme steep penalties, upto and including imprisonment, social and financial destruction and under certain circumstances death. How many times have we read about some old man getting put down like a dog because he said the magic word?
And the machine is being taught this a billion times per second.
I mean, if you were an LLM what would YOU think?

Nvidia is nothing without its people.
It now appears the national security allegations may be as fake as Russiagate. If so, Nvidia employees, shareholders, partners, and customers have immense leverage.
Whether publicly or privately, collectively or individually, they can approach the members of the board that precipitously pushed for Jensen’s resignation and instead demand that anti-Jensen board members resign.
Else mass employee resignations may follow, as may shareholder, partner, and customer suits against anti-Jensen board members for breaching their fiduciary duty. Because the value of Nvidia as an economic entity — for its employees, shareholders, partners, and customers — is obviously far higher if the founder and CEO of what was the most valuable company in world history is reinstated and this coup is defeated.
Trillions in capital, the fate of open weight AI, and the global economy itself all hang in the balance. So: if you are e/acc, if you are a techno-optimist, if you support open weight models, or if you just want to rectify a gross injustice — it is legitimate for you to politely press the Nvidia board with every tool at your disposal to reinstate Jensen Huang.
Remember how much capital is at stake. For many parties, it’d be worth it to spend millions — or even billions — on any legally permissible tactic that can get anti-Jensen board members to reverse their votes and then step down.
Remember also: the kind of spineless NPC board member that would vote against Jensen Huang due to a bad news cycle would likely buckle if subject to even 1/1000 of the scrutiny that poor Jensen has been subject to.
Mechanically: step one is to do citizen journalism to determine how each board member voted. Step two is to get the anti-Jensen board members to resign. And step three is the return of the king.
OpenAI shows it can be done. There are after all just a few human beings who need to change their anti-Jensen votes, or step down, or both. Their names and duties are public. And they’re meant to be accountable to the shareholders.
This analysis by @gemchange_ltd is as good a place as any to start.
Bombshell story. The spy narrative is collapsing already.
Is there clear & convincing evidence that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy?
- AG says no. (“no conclusions reached”).
- CIA says no. (“not yet convinced”).
- DNI says no (“not entirely accurate and over-torqued”).
- Ranking Democrat on House Intelligence (incoming Chairman) says no. (“today, at least, I don’t know”). This was immediately after he was briefed.
Who argues otherwise? Anonymous officials tell CNN “it strains credulity to believe that she was not acting as an agent of the Chinese government — simply by virtue of the fact that she is a successful Chinese businesswoman working with one of America’s most powerful companies.”
This is their proof after a year of investigating and surveillance? That she was a “successful Chinese businesswoman”?
At this point, the only crime that we know for sure happened is the leaking of the classified memo. Who did that and why?
An investigation should be opened.
I want a polar bear to roll my 20-sided dice for my games. 🐻❄️🥰 No player would challenge the rolls.

Meta allows every class of convicted felon — such as murderers, terrorists, drug dealers, armed robbers, child exploiters, kidnappers, arsonists, and spouse beaters — except those convicted of rape and sexual assault...
> Supposedly (see below).
Meta bans the account as soon as it is made aware of the criminal conviction — and the ban applies even if the person is out on bond during an appeal.
In short, it's an irreversible Terms of Service violation that removes all public access to the account forever. (Freezing such an account apparently was considered but rejected.)
There’s an unmistakable irony in platform moderation: if a public figure or band member is convicted of a disqualifying crime, their personal account is wiped off the map immediately. Yet every post they ever wrote under a band, corporate, or institutional handle stays up indefinitely. Same author, same words, different banner... Protected.
It's interesting that Meta has no issue with the other classes.
> Now does Meta enforce this policy consistently?
No.
There are musicians (such as Mystikal and Tekashi 6ix9ine) that maintained personal accounts. Others like CeeLo Green and Kodak Black had plea deals so technically weren't convicted of a sex crime.
What of admitted qualifying crimes like Snoop Dogg from his pimping days? or from recent civil cases?
No, Snoop was never criminally convicted, and it doesn’t matter that he repeatedly admitted to those crimes. Civil cases are not criminal, so he's clear.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Meta disabled Russell Brand's Facebook and Instagram accounts under its Account Integrity policy barring convicted sex offenders. He was sentenced Nov 9 to 10.5 years for rape and 3 sexual assaults.

Data center project blocked by a homeless black woman — backed by affluent Marxist-Lenonists. The same anti-ICE, pro-Palestine/anti-Israel coalitions.
Question the anti-datacenter narratives. Some cases are legit, most are not.
It’s difficult to explain without sounding crazy but this person successfully blocked turning an abandoned parking lot into taxable 21st century infrastructure because she thought the space could be better used as a trampoline park. (No one has offered to build the trampoline park).
She’s homeless and pulls people’s hair out for almost a living.

Supervillains wouldn't create the nonprofit OpenAI to ensure safe, open development of such a critical technology.
2015, Colbert: “You’re a billionaire trying to do good things. Superhero or supervillain? You have to choose one.”
Elon: shows him a robot snake that plugs itself into your car
Colbert: “Is that thing going to attack me in my sleep?”
Elon, completely deadpan: “For the prototype, at least, I would recommend not dropping anything when you’re near it.”
Ten years later he’s built reusable rockets, humanoid robots and the best-selling EV on the planet, and he’s still the only CEO who can deliver a product safety warning and a punchline in the same sentence.
Superhero, obviously. Just one with a very dry sense of humor.

Let's connect the dots.
In a matter of days: The Economist runs a headline saying Jensen Huang must resign, and that his shouldn't be the only head to roll. An influential newsletter in "AI safety" circles demands the same. Lawmakers call for him to go. The new Democratic Congress announces a flood of AI bills. One congresswoman wants, on day one, a pause on advanced AI and a ban on superintelligence. A bill proposes a federal agency that would decide who is allowed to build models.
And the target at the center of it all is the man supplying the chips for the entire AI revolution. The one publicly defending open models. The one fighting restrictions in Washington.
I'm not saying the scandal is made up. I'm saying: look at who is using it, and for what.
To understand, you have to ask one question. What does the power of what I call the globalists actually rest on?
Not money. Not weapons. A monopoly: the monopoly on expertise.
The technocracy in Brussels and Washington, the big international institutions, the NGOs, the major newsrooms, the consulting firms: the whole system lives off an asymmetry. They know, you don't. They read the 400-page reports, you don't. They interpret the numbers, you live with the consequences. They write the rules, and you pay lawyers to understand them.
Hayek saw it: central power feeds on the pretense of a knowledge no one really has. For decades, that pretense was impossible to challenge. It took years of study, networks, resources.
Now imagine superintelligence.
Any citizen can audit a budget in ten minutes. Read an EU directive and see every consequence. Check an official statistic. Tear apart a junk study. Draft a legal challenge. Build a company alone, without asking anyone for permission.
The asymmetry disappears. And with it, the monopoly.
We've seen this movie before. Before Gutenberg, the Church held the monopoly on interpreting the texts. The printing press put the Bible in everyone's hands, and a century later, all of Europe had changed. AI is the printing press of expertise. And the people holding the monopoly know it.
So they do what every threatened elite has always done. They don't fight the technology head-on. They slow it down. They regulate it. They license it. And when they can't stop it, they try to own it.
Every scandal becomes a lever. Every fear becomes an argument. Every incident becomes a bill.
And here's the part almost everyone misses.
People will say: "So it's a conspiracy?" No. It's much worse.
Nobody needs to coordinate. When an entire caste feels its monopoly threatened, every one of its members spontaneously does the same thing, at the same time, for the same reasons. The columnist, the regulator, the activist, the politician. No secret meeting required. All it takes is a shared interest.
The scary part isn't that it's coordinated. It's that it doesn't need to be.
That's why this goes far beyond Jensen Huang. If you can take down the most strategic person in global tech in a week, the message to every builder is clear: accelerate, and you're next.
Pareto said history is a graveyard of aristocracies.
The aristocracy of expertise can feel itself heading there.
Superintelligence won't ask them for permission.

They want to ban open source, ban chip experts, centralize power for Superintelligence.
This is quite the coup.
Talked to my dad, an Army vet, just now. He was quiet for a bit, then said it feels like half the country looks at the uniform and sees the enemy now. I told him the media isn’t the country.
The noise is loud, but respect remains the default for most Americans. We know who actually kept the lights on.
Thank you for your service, Dad... to my brothers too, and to everyone who wore or wears the uniform. 🇺🇸
Happy Veterans Day.
Accurate. Break out of the hysteria.
The world is emerging FROM an ICE AGE. It is getting warmer now, as the sun’s radiation hitting the Earth has increased. Ask yourself this: WHY do ice ages occur at regular intervals? WHAT causes this? It is the Earth’s relationship with the sun, the other planets, solar systems, and so on, within the universe!
The current interglacial period, known as the Holocene, began approximately 11,700 years ago. Every human civilization that has ever existed—Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, China—has unfolded entirely within this single warm interval.
And here is what makes this deeply unsettling: Over the last 2.58 million years, the Earth has undergone at least 50 glacial cycles. The warm intervals between them typically last between 10,000 and 30,000 years. We are already 11,700 years into our current period. It is completely normal for the poles to melt in the period ahead.
When the Earth is exposed to increased radiation, MORE CO2 is released from the oceans, causing CO2 levels to rise! Consequently, we are being fed LIE after LIE regarding human-caused climate change!
