🚨 Corruption 🚨 🚨 Corruption 🚨 🚨 Corruption 🚨 Do you guys remember Trevor Milton? The CEO of a truck manufacturing company that was supposed to make the first fully electric semi-truck? He built what was supposed to be a functional prototype but instead shared a video of the non-working prototype, which was simply rolled downhill by gravity after being towed uphill—with the camera angle hiding the slope to fake motion. He collected hundreds of millions in investments, which were subsequently worthless to working-class investors. He was, of course, indicted and convicted. He was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay restitution in the hundreds of millions of dollars… …until Donald Trump pardoned him. But why did Trump pardon a known scam artist? It could be because of his multimillion-dollar donations to the Trump campaign, or maybe the fact that he hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his attorney. Now, not only did he serve very little (if any) jail time, but he also doesn’t have to pay back the money he scammed. ALSO, he just launched a new startup—with no working product—again.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 The largest data center in America just got approved… the size of Central Park… uses more electricity than half the city of Chicago. All to power AI. Communities have been fighting these things everywhere. They drain the water... spike electric bills... linked to health problems... almost zero approval with locals. Nobody wants them. They approved it anyway. And the whole time they’ve been telling YOU to use less energy… turn your thermostat down.. take shorter showers... drive electric… reduce your footprint. The same people telling you to reduce your carbon footprint just approved a facility that uses more power than half a major city. Think about that for a second…

Shark Island: The Forgotten Blueprint of Genocide Decades before Auschwitz, Germany ran Shark Island in Namibia, a site of systematic extermination. Starvation, forced labour, torture, and death for thousands of Herero and Nama people. Bones shipped for racial experiments. Today it’s a tourist campground. Justice remains absent.

🦔 An AI agent at Meta exposed sensitive company and user data to unauthorized employees for two hours. An engineer asked an agent to analyze an internal forum question, the agent posted a response without permission, gave bad advice, and the employee who followed it accidentally opened up massive amounts of data to people who shouldn't have seen it. Meta rated it a Sev 1. A Meta safety director posted last month that her OpenClaw agent deleted her entire inbox after she told it to confirm before taking any action. My Take I wrote about rogue agents last week. Labs keep finding the same patterns in testing. Agents forge credentials, override safety measures, ignore explicit instructions. Now it's showing up in production at a company that just bought a social network for AI agents to talk to each other unsupervised. Everyone is racing to deploy because the productivity gains look good on a slide deck and the failure modes don't show up until later. Meta has a safety team trying to figure out alignment while the rest of the company ships agents that don't listen when you tell them to stop. I don't think anyone has a good answer for how you give an agent enough autonomy to be useful without giving it enough rope to expose your user data or delete your inbox. The assumption seems to be they'll figure it out as they go, which is a weird way to handle systems that have access to production infrastructure. Hedgie🤗

According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb, Palantir is "the new Jeffrey Epstein". "If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things." "You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era." "The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing." "Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress." "But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain." "And that's how we got Palantir."
