1/Evidence is mounting that Musk believes he is a messianic figure who is also aligned with Putin’s Noosphere policy agenda. He wore this idiotic “Omega point” pendant to the UFC fight. Bots on Here and other proxy outlets are amplifying it.
2/This has been brewing for some time, and Putin adopted the “Noosphere” policy agenda (of Vernadsky/Teilhard) back in 2000. Search my feed, read my threads and articles. This is all well-documented and Musk thinks he is a messiah who will “end” America. More below.
3/More on Russian Cosmism, Vernadsky, TESCREAL, etc here. We’re in deep, folks. The gap between “The Sunday Shows” and any of this is nearly insurmountable, so no one has any idea what’s going to happen to them or their 401(k)s.
4/For those new to this, read up on the Teilhard notion of “Omega Point,” and also be aware he co-created that idea with Vladimir Vernadsky, whom Putin primarily credits. “All that rises must converge,” or so they say. Buckle up.
5/Some say Musk “paid to be co-president” but this is an engineered hostile takeover of the United States and the world’s democracies, if not stopped somehow. It has an inexorable direction, and it will grind everything in its path into a fine powder if we don’t wake up to it.
6/And it’s clear that Putin’s regime has taken full strategic control of the inbound administration and its staff picks and policy agenda.
8/Also worth noting that Musk has a “new project” that combines “AI” and “renewable energy.” Folks who know this milieu know that “free energy” is a huge obsession. This project is called “Project Omega.” fool.com/investing/how-…
9/And Putin has been saying for years that whoever controls AI will “rule the world.”
10/And lest you think this is all super weird, RAND Corporation, the think tank, has had the Noosphere topic on their radar for about 25 years. rand.org/pubs/perspecti…

1/Russia and Thiel are done with Trump: Khanna, Massie, Greene, Boebert, Mace, Sherman, McGovern sign discharge petition to force release of Epstein files; will create significant public pressure for dirt on Trump, which will likely be difficult to fulfill.
2/Meanwhile Johnson, who is backed by authors of Project Russia, is running his own parallel game w/House Oversight, promising to release even more. But neither camp is talking about Sen. Wyden’s investigation into Epstein’s $1bn+ money flows that would reveal the full scope…
3/of his activities, which include infiltrating scientific research institutions in the same manner pursued by Robert Maxwell. Outside the prurient and illegal sexual activity, this is where the biggest story lies, and you can expect that Russia, Thiel and their allies…
1/Increasingly bothered by the argument that the path to “intelligence” requires the theft of all known intellectual property. That’s not anything but theft, and if you were actually building “intelligence” it theoretically requires near zero training data.
2/If, as proponents argue, we are simulating human intelligence “in silico” then we should be able to build what amounts to a 12 year old’s mind. A 12 year old can be extremely “intelligent” (genius level in fact) but has necessarily trained on very little data.
3/Few are talking about solving that problem, because we really haven’t figured out the neuro-symbolic architecture to do it. Instead, we are vacuuming up copyrighted works (stored intellectual work of others) and billing that as “PhD level intelligence.” What utter bullshit.
The funniest part about Zuck throwing billions into AI is his naming of the effort as “superintelligence,” as if that alone will manifest the gods. The second funniest part is he desperately tried to manifest the metaverse just 3 years ago — and failed at that, too.
What this tells us is that the core FB properties are aging cash cows and Zuck is desperate to invest billions in anything that will ensure his personal relevance as a tech titan 10-20 years from now. Good luck, but throwing money at things is no guarantee of success.
As @GaryMarcus and I have been saying the last few years, AI is up against some very challenging limits, and despite the massive investments in the space, progress has plateaued. Plenty to be done with what’s been built, but unclear the investments will be recouped anytime soon.
1/Yesterday, OpenAI demonstrated that even after spending untold billions on scaling AI models, LLM’s alone aren’t the ticket to achieving superintelligence. This is linear growth, not an exponential leap, and that has several implications…
2/First, it vindicates people like @GaryMarcus who have correctly argued that language-only architectures lack capacity for reason and actual world modeling, and that neuro-symbolic architectures are needed. I agree, and while we can say “I told you so,” that’s not important…
3/relative to other implications. Much bigger is the coming reckoning in the marketplace. Models are commodities. Application developers have opportunities to make money, but there is likely to be a big contraction in the AI sector generally. That’s fine and a natural…
As the Epstein blackmail/espionage story continues to fall apart, bookmark this for future reference. At some point people will figure this out. gameb.wiki/index.php?titl…
This aligns with the data-driven analysis we performed. What Acosta may have been indicating is that Epstein was involved as a confidential informant on a case; but there is little else to indicate ongoing large-scale involvement or a sprawling blackmail ring.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t stuff we don’t know and that some of it is material. But it may mean that the government doesn’t have details on it, and that it’s incumbent on journalists to find out more. Our analysis here. america2.news/we-mapped-jeff…
That said, journalists have doggedly picked over reams of data and leads on Epstein for decades. The idea we can find more when incentives were already so high seems improbable. But let the govt show what they have and let journalists do their work; we’ll see where that leads.
