Boomers on Facebook getting duped by AI slop

@rawsalerts We have won, but we still need to bomb for a few more weeks so we can win. We have destroyed the enemy, so it will be over in a few weeks because we need to take out the enemy we have already beat. We have already won, but we need a few more weeks so we can win. 🤷‍♂️

The uniparty in action

Being liberal doesn't make you woke, and being woke doesn't make you liberal. Being woke means you spend most of your time telegraphing your own virtues and measuring those of others against your own, usually publicly. There's nothing wrong with being liberal. Heck, I consider myself progressive. But when you're woke, it's not the views that are problematic: it's the weaponization of those views.

@davepl1968 Double it plus one was the immediate answer that popped in my head.

Let's assume you can solve this. I think HOW you solve it says a lot about how your brain works. First, figure it out so you have your answer, then check the thread for what it all means.

greatest tweet of all time

1. Not true. Minor exception. This is a long-standing conspiracy dating back to the very inception of malware, in essence the idea governments and anti-malware vendors are cooperating with each other for espionage. The reality is this is simply improbable. Not every anti-malware vendor resides in the United States and not every anti-malware vendor has to cooperate with the United States government. Additionally, some anti-malware services may feel hostile toward the United States government and actively disregard any form of communication. However, there have been some instances where the United States government has partnered with anti-malware vendors and/or security companies to target high-profile targets (sex traffickers, terrorist organizations) and requested assistance. It would not be outside the realm of possibility to intentionally insert an exception in highly targeted operations. This has been semi-documented in the past whereas Google identified a malware campaign in the Middle East and it was discovered to be a United States military operation targeting individuals believed to be part of ISIS. Finally, Magic Lantern is old. It is old as dirt. It was discussed in the early-2000's. Malware has changed a lot since then. The anti-malware industry has changed a lot. This sort of operation (wide spread espionage via malware) just isn't really possible without global cooperation, including China and Russia. 2. Not true. Long standing schizo theory. Google it. Even real privacy schizos know it's not true. The concern arose when security researchers identified a debug switch in INTEL ME. Additionally, if this were true, network traffic monitoring software would identify this. There is also open source solutions, you don't need INTEL ME or anything else. The exception to this is when the United States government intercepts hardware and places malware on it or intentionally modifies it. This is true. 3. Partially true. There is some speculation, but basically the NSA recommended Dual_EC_DRBG to vendors as a standard despite criticism of it and known vulnerabilities in which could allow exploitation. Basically, the NSA was recommending a known bad thing. 4. No idea. I don't do anything with frequencies and radios. 5. This is true. 6. This is true. However, this is not exclusive to the NSA. 7. Partially true. The United States government owns a bunch of Tor nodes and monitors it, the monitoring however is for entry and exit of Tor. However, this cannot easily identify you. If this were the case then there would be much less child pornography and fentanyl sales on Tor. Additionally, they would use this to heavily crackdown on ransomware groups. Most of the time people are caught on Tor from information leaking from Tor (long story, basically cookies) 8. Partially true. It has been documented several times large tech organizations are aware of critical exploits and (based on existing contracts with them) may notify them before anyone else due to the risk to critical infrastructure of the United States. Microsoft has big contracts with the United States. This isn't a surprise. Furthermore, it was been speculated heavily that Microsoft has delayed patches to aid the United States military in offensive cyber operations (APT NightEagle) 9. This is true. However, to the extent they can "take it over" is ambiguous because your cars electronics and GPS are not connected to your steering wheel. 10. IoT is a huge piece of shit and is compromised all the time. Seriously, don't use IoT devices. 11. No idea.

Damn, they actually passed it? Unlicensed operation of 3D printers and CNCs is now a felony in Washington? I get that it's fashionable to hate manufacturing in some places but how many kids and FIRST robotics teams are going to end up with criminal records because of this?

UNDEFEATED.

Is it just me or we come a full circle again? - Shia LaBeouf is arrested - Britney spears is arrested - Us fight middle east - Pokemon is trending - Hilary Duff on tour - Bubble skirt famous again - Scream is back in the theaters - Scary movie

Holy fuck NBC is evil

Still the funniest thing ever made

You're an admin on your machine, but you're still a guest in its house. A lot of people still think Ring 0 (the Kernel) is the absolute ceiling of authority. If you have root, you have God mode, right? For cracked people(not one though), they know the real power lives in Ring -3. There is a separate, invisible processor inside your Intel CPU running its own closed-source operating system usually a version of MINIX. This is the Intel Management Engine (ME). It doesn’t matter if your PC is off, your drive is encrypted with AES-256, or you’re running the most hardened Linux distro. If the power cable is plugged in, the ME is awake. Why this is the ultimate Deep Tech secret: The Ghost in the Silicon: It has its own independent network stack. It can bypass your OS-level firewall to send and receive data. It can see your RAM, your screen, and every single keystroke you type before your OS even knows they happened. The Kill Switch Irony: The only reason we know how to soft-disable this is because the NSA requested a way to turn it off for their own high-security machines. It’s called the HAP (High Assurance Platform) bit. Even the guys who do the spying didn't trust a black-box OS living inside their silicon. Modern Vulnerabilities: This isn't old news. Research from 2025 (like CVE-2025-20037) shows that we're still finding TOCTOU (Time-of-check-to-time-of-use) race conditions in the CSME firmware. These aren't just bugs; they're architectural blind spots. If you try to just delete the ME firmware, yep, your computer will literally commit suicide (shut down) every 30 minutes. That’s a hardcoded failsafe. To truly neuter it, you have to use tools like me_cleaner to strip the modules while leaving just enough code (like the BUP/ROMP modules) to keep the CPU from panicking. We spend our lives as architects designing secure systems, but we’re building on top of a foundation we aren't allowed to audit. Digital sovereignty is a nice idea, but until you control the hardware below the BIOS, you're just renting your privacy. would make a follow-up post on how to actually use me_cleaner without bricking your board

wow Anthropic just published a crazy report on AI replacing your job and er... you might want to look at this: - #1 most at-risk jobs are computer programmers, financial analysts (rip excel bros) and customer service - most at-risk workers are female, white, older and higher paid. - BUT high-risk jobs *aren't* firing employees... they've STOPPED HIRING. biggest victims: college graduates (4X more likely to be fucked) - entry-level hiring has dropped 14% since chatgpt launched (for highest risk jobs) - SAFEST jobs are... bartenders, dishwashers and lifeguards - any manual labour that AI can't automate (yet) this accounts for 30% of the job market. - this was the scariest part: AI models are capable of automating most work TODAY but are prevented because of law and slow company adoption. so its not even a fucking skill issue its an ADOPTION issue. - now its important to understand that the study is based on real world data but also 'theoretical' intelligence. so take it with a pinch of salt. some jobs (manual labor) didn't even meet min. data reqs i applaud anthropic on being so damn transparent - they're literally the company behind claude who will be responsible for these impacts studies like this will help us figure it the hell out. LOT of change coming this year.

@PrincessBravato He literally did nothing wrong, his hands were even at his sides as he calmly spoke.

Alysa Liu recently went viral for her Teen Vogue rant on the state of the information environment and the population's cognitive resilience. "We really are living in a cognitive wild west. Most people have near-zero memetic defenses or cognitive security suited for the online age". She adds, "any semblance of it is easily brute-forced by the onslaught of information & the situation is even worse when it comes to AI agent-orchestrated psyops."
