The replacement of humans has always been the goal. Now it’s actually starting to happen.

For years, insiders tried to warn us—engineers, whistleblowers, entire teams inside the biggest tech companies in the world. They saw where AI was heading… and what it was becoming.

They were ignored, dismissed, written off as overreacting.

@zeeemedia lays out a pattern that’s getting harder to ignore—where technology once sold as progress is now being used for surveillance, automated warfare, and the systematic replacement of human labor at scale.

And the most unsettling part?
This isn’t a glimpse of the future. It’s already happening.

Tonight is Part 2 of our Great Reset: Next Phase series—and what we’re about to show you makes one thing clear: this next phase isn’t coming, it’s already underway.

Before any major crisis, there are always voices trying to sound the alarm. They get dismissed, labeled as overreacting, written off as “panicans” or worse.

But this time, those warnings didn’t fade away. They came true.

The people closest to this technology saw exactly where this was heading—and now we’re watching it unfold in real time.

Tomorrow night, we’ll focus on solutions. But today, we need to face something far more immediate: what the world looks like if no one steps in to change course. 🧵
The risks surrounding AI were never hidden—they were identified early by the very people building the systems.

Engineers and employees inside major tech companies raised clear, repeated concerns about how these tools could be used for surveillance and warfare. They understood something fundamental: once the capability exists, control becomes secondary. Infrastructure drives expansion.

Even when leadership promises restraint, the incentives push in the opposite direction.

In 2018, thousands of Google employees signed a letter opposing military AI projects, warning: “We believe that Google should not be in the business of war.”

That warning points to a deeper reality. AI doesn’t stay confined to its original purpose. Once integrated into defense pipelines, it becomes adaptable, scalable, and increasingly difficult to contain. Years later, whistleblower allegations suggest the exact scenarios employees feared are no longer hypothetical.

The pattern is hard to ignore—internal resistance, public reassurance, then quiet escalation. The people closest to the technology saw where this was heading.

And even they couldn’t stop it.

THREAD: The NYT Iran war story wasn’t written for the left. It was written for MAGA. Here’s the proof including where the story’s own claims fall apart. 🧵

The only question I have left is which Eurasian slop peddler thought of this plan.
On April 7 hours before the Iran ceasefire the NYT dropped a 4,500-word story on how Trump went to war.

Bylined Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

Sourced entirely from anonymous officials.

A preview of their forthcoming book “Regime Change,” due June 23 from Simon & Schuster.
Every major outlet treated it as the definitive account.

The MAGA anti-war crowd treated it as scripture.

And that’s the tell.
The story’s core claims:

— Netanyahu gave Trump a “hard sell” in the Situation Room on Feb 11

— Ratcliffe called the regime change plan “farcical”

— Rubio said “in other words, it’s bullshit”

— Vance was the most vocal opponent warned of regional chaos and MAGA betrayal

— Trump decided on “instinct,” ignoring advisers

— Hegseth was the most enthusiastic

Zero named sources.

Every claim deniable.

Every official given an alibi.

Let’s test the claims against the public record.

on one hand, i share the sentiment of compute needing to be open at all costs to avoid a few people controlling everything

on the other hand, even if we end up in the bad timeline, there is always a way out of that very situation and no i am not talking about taking your own life that is not a solution i am talking about some other ideas :)
those ideas clearly being hosting a gmod server and a minecraft one and endearing them to play until they are physically too tired to do anything, clearly.
jokes aside in general i think a lot of people are being way too doomer-ish about humanity and its role right now in general, the concept of a permanent underclass is not really a sustainable one at all lol

🚨EXCLUSIVE VIDEO and EXPOSÉ: CHRISTOPHER NIENHUIS CAUGHT AS*AULTING A FEMALE STUDENT BEFORE SEPARATE ST*BBING INCIDENT: ENTIRE FAMILY HAS HISTORY OF TARGETING

The same advocates for Karmelo Anthony are now defending Christopher Nienhuis, the teen who st*bbed another teen in a North Texas community park last year. They claim “victim” and are now claiming that his father is also a “victim, despite the fact that Mark Nienhuis was just charged with aggravated As*ault with a Deadly Weapon Causing Serious Bodily Injury and EIGHT counts of Aggravated As*ault with a Deadly Weapon after his gunfire struck his OWN 11-year-old daughter.

However, I have spent countless hours digging deeply into the family and interviewing those close by in Midlothian. This was prompted by the fact that Dominque Alexander (a previous spokesperson for Karmelo Anthony) claimed Christopher was a “victim” and his family had suffered from “racism” and “targeting”. Dominque Alexander, a career criminal himself, has defended all the wrong people in an effort to position himself in the spotlight, and I immediately knew that what he claimed was nonsense. His voice always raises a red flag.

I was right.

Christopher Nienhuis, and his brothers, have a past of harassment, fighting and causing trouble within the community. Christopher, who is currently on house arrest for a st*bbing and awaiting trial, physically as*aulted a fellow student in October, 2024. I have obtained video footage of the as*ault. According to witnesses I have spoke with and the obtained report, Christopher grabbed the female student’s cell phone and threw it across the room. He also broke the victim’s laptop. He then began to punch the female till she was finally underneath him. This is where the recording begins below. She was hit in the head but thankfully was not seriously injured.

His family did later try to make excuses for Christopher and claimed that the female student had “tried to wrap the charging cord around Christopher’s head”. The police stated that Christopher never made this claim, and suffered no marks. It would seem that holding their son accountable tends to be an ongoing issue, considering Mark (his father) posted Christopher’s bail after the parking lot stabbing.

After the altercation in the classroom, the victim was scared to attend class, and attended school online, causing her to miss the rest of her high school experience. Also, following the classroom fight, Markel Nienhuis (the older brother) posted a childhood photo of his brothers on Snapchat with the caption “Call 1-800-Whoop THAT H0”.

Also, on one of the female victim’s Instagram lives, Jayden Nienhuis (another brother) posted “I’ll use the brick method on all y’all” and “Ima touch all ya’ll when ya’ll sleep”.

From April of 2022, I have also obtained a video of all of the Nienhuis brothers fighting. According to the witness I obtained the video from, two large groups were fighting eachother. And you can visibly seen Chris Nienhuis (black T-shirt) hitting a boy in a blue hoodie in the face with a rock.

In a third video I obtained, Chris is fighting in a class hallway. According to a source, this fight ended up continuing in the school bathroom. And according to the witness, Chris and his friends reportedly made a few edits of the student he fought and shared it online in an effort to bully him.

So while these so-called “advocates” try to paint this as a good family being unfairly targeted, here’s the reality:

A little girl has been shot - by her own father.

That father now sits in a hospital facing multiple violent felony charges.

And his son - the one they’re calling a “victim” - is awaiting trial for stabbing another teenager and nearly killing him.

This seems to be an unfortunate family pattern. And others are suffering the consequences.

The "what is Danish culture?" thread

(a short resume)
x.com/i/grok/share/a…
"The thread has consistently circled around the distinction between the old, organic Danish/Nordic core and later overlays (Christianity, Enlightenment, modern state, multiculturalism)."
"Danish culture, as we have mapped it, is not primarily a product of the Reformation, the welfare state or 19th-century Romanticism. It is a deep, organic life-form shaped over 4,000+ years by the Nordic environment, migration patterns and social selection."

Japan did everything the experts recommended. For three decades straight.

The result was three decades of stagnation. 🧵 Image
In 1990, Japan's asset bubble collapsed. The Nikkei had peaked near 39,000. Land prices had tripled in five years. The grounds of the Imperial Palace were reportedly worth more than the entire state of California.

When the correction came, it was severe. And the government made a choice: don't let the market clear. Fix it instead.

That choice defined what followed.Image
The response was exactly what mainstream economics recommends.

Ten major fiscal stimulus packages in the 1990s alone, totaling over 100 trillion yen. Interest rates cut to near zero and held there for decades. Quantitative easing, pioneered by Japan before the West copied it. Infrastructure spending at over 5% of GDP, more than double the U.S. rate.

No country has ever run the Keynesian playbook more faithfully.Image

Grupo Ramos será el próximo emisor del mercado de valores dominicano mediante un fideicomiso, pero:

¿qué está emitiendo realmente?
¿eso significa que puedes tener acciones de Grupo Ramos?
¿cómo eso te podría generar dinero?

Te lo explico: Image
Grupo Ramos existe desde 1965 y, además de su negocio retail (La Sirena, Super Pola, Aprezio...), también desarrolló plazas comerciales bajo la marca Multiplaza.

Esta emisión gira precisamente alrededor de ese negocio inmobiliario. Empresas del Grupo Ramos

The FBI arrested Courtney Williams, 40, of Wagram, North Carolina on Tuesday and a federal grand jury has indicted her in connection with the transmission of classified national defense information to individuals not authorized to receive it, including a journalist in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(d).
“I might actually get arrested . . . for disclosing classified information.”

“probably going to jail for life.”

Courtney Williams is part of a small group of women who can’t stand the Secretary of War’s @PeteHegseth’s male energy. She’s a perfect example of why he’s right. politico.com/news/magazine/…Image

New Working Paper Alert 📔
Do accents shape social and economic opportunity? With @miweintraub83 and @NGarbirasDiaz, we tested this in Colombia through an online experiment with 6,000 adults.

🧵 Image
We discover a large “accent premium”: those with high-class accents are more likely to be seen as trustworthy, employable, and worth choosing as friends, coworkers, business partners, or bosses. We also show why this premium emerges. Spoiler: it is not only income or education. Image
Why should we care? Accents are among the earliest cues people perceive. They signal not only where someone is from, but also where they stand in a society’s class structure. If the way we pronounce words changes how others treat us, accents likely help reproduce inequality.

Any assessment of the jacobins that does not stress they ended slavery the moment they got power, and forced through civil rights for jewish and black people and actors (!), that they opposed the girondinist war etc is simply unserious. Their policy track record was unbelievable.
There were deep organisational issues with the revolutionary government, but these were constitutional and jurisdictional issues that had basically nothing to do with the ideological commitments of the jacobins or the personalities of their influential members in parliament.
Pretending the committee of public safety were mustache twirling villains whereas the committee of general security, which coordinated all the purges in joint meetings, if mentioned at all, was some kind of sane liberal alternative (as if they didn't do a coup) is pure propaganda

launching `data-label-factory` a generic auto-labeling pipeline. You write a YAML for your object class and run one command: a vision dataset on a 16 GB MacBook. No GPU, no labelers, no vendor. Using Gemma 4 @Google mlx-vlm @Prince_Canuma + Falcon Perception @lkhphuc
here's how : 🧵(point your /agent at the claude.md file to start asap)
your object class and run one command:
data_label_factory pipeline --project projects/drones.yaml

Stages: gather images from DDG/Wikimedia/YouTube → VLM filter for yes/no →
Falcon Perception draws bboxes → second VLM verifies each box → review what's left in a browser. All of it runs locally on Apple Silicon.
The bbox grounder is Falcon Perception (~600 MB). The verifier is a 26B-param Gemma 4 MoE that should not fit on a 16 GB Mac. It does, because we stream
cold experts off the SSD on demand and only keep ~3 GB of weights hot at any given time.

Resident set ends up around 5 GB total. Our 'MLX + Expert Sniper' does the heavy lifting.

Same idea would work for any MoE model where activation rate is~10%.

Antes de empezar no quier otomar mucho tiempo de Nikolai, el cuando pueda va a responder.

teniendo esto en cuenta vamos a empezar

Entiendo que en tu respuesta te alejas parcialmente del individualismo metodologico que inicialmente interprete como base de tu argumento. xD

Reconozco que esto profundiza considerablemente la discusion y actually permite un analisis mas interesante, pero, creo (y corrigeme si me equivoco) que hay un desplazamiento conceptual importante que debe abordarse antes de continuar

Mi analisis se centra en tipos de propiedad, mientras que tu argumento redefine el problema en terminos de la propiedad como norma social general.

A partir de este cambio afirmas que mi distincion sería arbitraria, cuando en realidad, considero que aqui partimos de +

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Citizens of Israel, I want to thank you, our wonderful nation.

While you demonstrated resilience sitting in the secure rooms and shelters, together we achieved immense accomplishments: Our fighters at the front and you on the home front.
But before all else, I wish to bow my head in memory of our loved ones who fell in this campaign.

I wish to embrace the bereaved families and, on behalf of all of you, send wishes for a speedy recovery to our wounded loved ones.
My brothers and sisters, the State of Israel has achieved immense accomplishments, achievements that until recently seemed completely imaginary.

Iran is weaker than ever, and Israel is stronger than ever. This is the bottom line of this campaign, up to this moment.

Who won the Iran war?

The answer depends entirely on your prior view of Donald Trump. If you did not like Trump, for wahtever reason, prior to the bombardment of Iran, the US and Israel obviously suffered a humiliating defeat there is no coming back from. 1/
If you did not actively hate Trump the answer is rather different. Lists of regime thugs taken out, IRGC bases blown up, missile launchers destroyed, navy and airforce eliminated will be trotted out. 2/
The Islamic regime was, effectively, assassinated. Production facilities blown sky high. But, Trump adverse people will argue, the regime still exists and the facilities can be rebuilt. The war changed nothing. 3/

The ceasefire with Iran is barely 12 hours old and already disputed on every front.

I pulled the exact answers from today’s White House (Karoline Leavitt) + Pentagon (Pete Hegseth) briefings on the biggest points of confusion 🧵 Image
1. Does the ceasefire cover Lebanon/Hezbollah?

Leavitt: “Lebanon is not part of this ceasefire. That has been relayed to all parties.” Netanyahu supports the deal and will remain a “helpful partner.” Future inclusion? “Will continue to be discussed.”
2. Is the Strait of Hormuz actually open?

Leavitt: Iranian state media claims are “completely unacceptable.” White House sees “an uptick of traffic today.” Ceasefire is “subject to” immediate, safe reopening with no limitations. Monitoring “minute by minute.”

Hoy en la mañanera anunciaron un segundo cambio de la política energética respecto al sexenio pasado.

Ya abrieron el sector a renovables privados, ahora todo parece indicar que van por el gas, lo que significa fracturar roca para extraerlo.

Quisiera hacer una valoración… Image
1. El Gas Natural se usa para generar más o menos el 60% de la energía eléctrica del país.
2. Si bien una parte del gas lo produce PEMEX en México, el 100% del gas que se usa para generación de energía es prácticamente importado.
3. El gas da ventajas al sistema eléctrico: Image
- el gas es menos sucio que otros combustibles.
- en las condiciones actuales, es muy barato y su uso es más barato que carbón o combustoleo.
- las centrales de gas aportan flexibilidad al sistema eléctrico.

Afternoon! (Again)

We're expecting the first Joint Budget Committee meeting of the 2026 fiscal session to gavel in soon. Only one thing on the agenda, so hopefully short and sweet!

HB1002 deals with district judge reimbursements

arkleg.state.ar.us/Home/FTPDocume…
Actually pretty big news - it sounds like Rep. Lane Jean is preparing to step down as co-chair of Joint Budget Committee. This is a pretty big deal - Jean has co-chaired it for 12 years and genuinely done a lot of good in the role. Rep. Lee Johnson seems prepped to take over.
Rep. Johnson is also a pretty good dude. A practicing physician, he's quietly shepherded a lot of great healthcare legislation through the years. A good move!

The dividing lines in the next election will be clear and will be around issues of Canada's sovereignty. The Conservatives are relentlessly anti-China.
Poilievere seeks to reestablish trade relations with the U.S. by capitulating to Trump's whims. He's already said that he will tariff Chinese EVs at 100%. Trump hates Canada's supply management of the dairy industry and that will be the next to go in Poilievre's platform.
We are in an historical pivot point brought about (largely) by a fracturing of institutions and their supporting systems, like global trade. We were there at the end of WWII.

Given my postmodern interest in cultural symbols, as well as my affinity for @WSdagg, I thought I'd do a quick analysis: the ethnic composition of Star Trek's main cast over the years.

These are taken from Memory Alpha, and I have also done my best to take into account (1/28) Image
recurring/secondary stars, early departed/late casted stars, and other such outliers (e.g., Jake Sisko from DS9 and Kes from V).

Without further ado. (2/28)

William Shatner (Jew)
Leonard Nimoy (Jew)
