3 I saw one of his heads ... 5 He was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. And he was given authority to wage war for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to speak blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.🤔

🇮🇩 A strange red flood in Solo, Indonesia raised alarm after heavy rain sent water into homes in Joyotakan Sub-District, Serengan, on Wednesday. The deep red colour was traced to a leaking plastic bag of dye near a small floodgate. The discoloration was confined to that area, even as flooding affected other parts of the area. 📹 diki.kun/tt

@markeviciute There will be a brilliant technical solution to all the flawed, early instances, I'm pretty sure. Probably from 🚀🏋🏻‍♂️ ...

Disappointed in everyone on age verification thread: 🇦🇺🇬🇧 Australian & British systems don’t work, kids are bypassing laws with VPN’s, now politicians are likely to try restricting VPN use. Australians can’t admit the system doesn’t work and ask the rest of the world to follow them. 🇪🇺 European pilot project should only be treated as a pilot project for individual EU Member States & to export abroad - open source, but with many technical flaws. Future EUDI wallet approach is more nuanced from data minimisation point of view, but aligning between 27 different systems is a challenge in itself. 🇺🇸 The American HR8250 looks half-baked, too intrusive, vague, and goes against everything the US Administration is stating about overregulation in other jurisdictions. Well, at least Americans have their constitution which actually talks about free speech and against excessive govt intrusion, which may balance the final outcome. ❌ Everyone talks about the technical implementation details, but nobody speaks about the effect on teenagers who will be prevented from exercising their human right of self-expression online - migration to fringe platforms, etc.

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.

25 years ago, the US and Germany had similar labor productivity. Germany was a global industrial powerhouse. Then Germany followed the left-green path of overregulation, bureaucracy, energy madness and redistribution, and became the sick man of Europe. Don’t be like Germany.

If you believe the class of people responsible for mass murder via war, starvation, poverty, exploitation, and oppression are going to give you free money once you lose your job to their AI, you need a new fucking brain.

OMG - Who did this

@steveinpursuit Everything is pretty clear once you connect the loose ends. We know what will happen, just not exactly when.

I've always wondered what it was like to be early to hear the Communist ideology in the 19th century. You see the beautiful vision; you're familiar with aspirations of the French Revolution; and it all seems so... possible. So many scientific revolutions were happening; perhaps we really cracked the code and can scientifically plan out our societies. If we put masters of mathematics and engineering in charge of politics, perhaps we can achieve utopia -- universal prosperity and freedom. Fast forward to today: it probably felt like this moment. We've experienced spectacular engineering breakthroughs; we are on the verge of defeating scarcity; perhaps we should put the masters of mathematics and engineering in charge of our politics. We all know the result of Communism -- instead of utopia, we got the world's worst atrocities. I think this version of utopianism would end in even greater atrocity -- mandatory brain chips to receive your income from the Galactic Politburo. Mandatory transitions from human to "post-human." On the list of worst possible ideas, "universal high income checks issued by the Federal government" is up there.

@SandyofCthulhu True. Still my absolute favorite of the early days.

The first time I actually got scared in a computer game was playing Dungeon Master on my Atari ST (a fine system, eventually killed stone dead by piracy). In the game, I opened a grating, which clanked upwards, and a mummy appeared before me. Cool! I was admiring the mummy, when it suddenly raised its arms and shrieked "Rahr". I was so started I literally dropped my mouse. Before I could regain control the mummy had killed two guys in my party of four, and so I restarted the game. Dungeon Master also had the feature that the world got darker as your torches burnt out. And darker ... Also, when a new monster showed up it was always a trip. How do I fight it? What does it do? DID THAT TWERP JUST STEAL MY TORCH?! You had to eat and drink, so finding food & water was always on your mind. What a terrific game. It was real-time, not turn based for another tidbit, and your skills got better by use. You didn't "level up" via experience, which I liked after having played RuneQuest and designing Call of Cthulhu. Finally, it had the best underlying magic system OF ANY GAME ever and it's not close. I include tabletop roleplaying games. This game was so far beyond anything I'd seen before that time. 1987.

@Josevizner It is what it is

Lo que nos vendieron como una herramienta para "diferenciarnos de la IA" está mutando en el sistema de vigilancia más ambicioso de la historia. World Network (el nuevo nombre de Worldcoin), liderado por Sam Altman, acaba de anunciar su expansión masiva. Ya no es solo un "experimento" con un orbe plateado; ahora se integra con Zoom, DocuSign y Tinder. Pronto, para trabajar, firmar un contrato o incluso tener una cita, tendrás que pasar por el filtro de la élite tecnológica. Las señales del "Acelerón del Control Social": • Tu cuerpo es tu contraseña: Al usar el escaneo de iris o IDs gubernamentales integrados, dejas de ser un usuario para convertirte en un código rastreable en una red global. Si controlan tu acceso a la identidad, controlan tu acceso a la sociedad. • La "Validación" como Permiso: Bajo la excusa de "no saber qué es real y qué es falso", se está normalizando que para existir en internet debas pedir permiso a una entidad privada. • La Pinza del Poder: Mientras Altman pide "regulación urgente" para la IA, él mismo construye la infraestructura para vigilarla. Es la clásica estrategia: crean el problema (IA descontrolada) para venderte la solución (tu identidad bajo su control). ¿Hacia dónde vamos? Estamos viendo el nacimiento de un Sistema de Crédito Social 2.0. Si una única red decide quién es "humano" y quién es "fiable" para usar Zoom o Reddit, ¿qué pasará con el que disienta? ¿Qué pasará con el que se niegue a entregar su biometría? "Cuando todo puede ser falso, la élite decide qué es lo único verdadero: su base de datos." El anonimato en la red está muriendo. La pregunta es: ¿estamos entregando nuestra libertad a cambio de una falsa sensación de seguridad? ¿Qué opinas? Te leo en los comentarios. #WorldNetwork #Worldcoin #ControlSocial

@imPenny2x Sorry, but you don't seem to understand what the price for this proposed age of abundance is, like all of it's enthusiast 'prophets'.

99% of people really do not understand abundance as Elon describes it. The fundamental reason is that they don’t understand compound growth. Same people who would probably pick 1 million dollars today over a penny that doubles in value every day for 30 days. It’s a bad choice by the way. You lose out on millions. Imagine if that doubling object was a labor producing robot instead of a penny. Compounding labor. It’s actually crazy if you try and wrap your mind around it. So Elon mentions Universl High Income and the midwits flip a lid. “The elites won’t share” You don’t get it. They won’t need to share. They will make everything so cheap, it is effectively free. Charities will have immense resources to distribute. Unfathomable intelligence will exist to help optimize production and distribution. An unfathomably large labor pool will exist that operates on solar power exclusively. The public work projects that are erected will be unseen before levels of breathtaking. I think we are incredibly blessed to steward this new age of abundance. Can you see it now? Can you see the future?

I don’t know if people fully grasp the scale at which castles were built. On average there were 125 castles built every year…for 600 years. (900 AD - 1500 AD) 75,000 castles, and that’s the low end of the estimate.
