@Phil_Lewis_ The only thing of value Bezos will have gifted humanity after all is said and done, is divorcing his wife. Best use of his money possible.

Trump's frequent trips to Walter Reed raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve. Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large." The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

It still blows my mind how @bennyjohnson and Tim Pool @Timcast were both CAUGHT taking money from Vladimir Putin and now they're part of the goddamn American White House press pool.

@atrupar @BurntToastAge To re-cap & review: Popes railing against abortion as their singular issue of focus ignoring all other aspects of life affecting the human race = GOOD. Popes that minister to the whole person by providing guidance on all aspects of life affecting humans beyond abortion = BAD.

BARTIROMO: The Pope said AI could make civilization 'less human.' Why is the Pope commenting on AI right now? BURGUM: I didn't know that tech editorializing was part of the role of being Pope

@RickChapterTwo I might tolerate a God-fearing, Jesus-loving MAGA if they behaved as Jesus did rubbing elbows with the poor & immigrants & incarcerated & hungry & those without shelter. Turns out, though, that fundamental & MAGA "Christians" dnt care much for the Jesus parts of the Bible, huh?

I grew up in the Church of Christ religion while living in an all white, low income neighborhood. Old white men in suits would stand outside the church building before the service, smoking cigarettes and telling racist jokes, using the N-word frequently. These are the Christians I had as role models. Before I became agnostic, I studied the New Testament from cover to cover. I thought I knew what true Christianity meant and I tried to live my life following in the footsteps of Jesus. I tried my best to avoid racist and evil people. It was impossible to do this in Texas. Even a simple trip to the local grocer would result in hearing people act stupid. It's a long story as to why I'm now agnostic. But my actual point to the story is that I believe I understand the concept of Christianity as much as anyone. And I'm sorry, but I try to avoid extremely religious people. Let them believe what they want to believe as long as they act decent while in the world. I just don't want to listen to them tell me "The Good News." And I tell you that so that I can tell you this… James Talarico is a very religious man who could help the state of Texas become better in many, many ways. And he can do it without preaching to you. I am so tired of evil, racist white men who are criminals with no morals. No matter what I personally believe, I'll take a God-fearing or Jesus-loving man in office any day.

@QasimRashid @rolandsmartin Since we have no 4th Estate interested in keeping The People informed, it really is up to us "normies" to ask things like, "Why"? Why would the most powerful attorney in the state overturn a jury's decision? What's in it for him? Who keeps quiet about what and whom?

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days. This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story: letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/ken-paxtons-…

@micyoung75 @bailardejesus They take away access to food, steal water for "data centers", poison food systems & natural lands able to grow food, make healthcare impossible to afford to fight illnesses inflicted by lack of resources & ruin edu to keep us too dumb to fight back while they live in bunkers 🤷🏻‍♀️

The mechanism is specific and worth reading carefully. Able-bodied adults without dependents must now document 80 hours per month of work, training, or volunteering to maintain SNAP. Job searching - actively looking for work - does not count. Miss the threshold over any three-month period: ineligible for three years. The exemption that previously protected former foster youth from this time limit has been eliminated. A population already more likely to face housing instability, academic disruption, and unemployment now runs the same clock as everyone else. The average SNAP benefit is $6 per day. That is what this policy fight costs at the individual level. The bill that built this requirement cut $187 billion from SNAP in the same legislation that extended tax cuts for corporations and wealthier Americans. That contrast is in the record.

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran. What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

@BrianDough45 @MilleyMich39119 According to the comments, it's called "Jules".

@MilleyMich39119 What's the name of this movie ?

He is teaching an alien how to live a normal life

@StevenCheung47 How the fck do you think this is a flex?

President Trump is working at 8:00 PM. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

ok, let's summarize 1. We blew through a shitload of critical munitions 2. We changed the 1979 old fogies for a new young buck regime, intact 3. We did not get the enriched uranium 4. We did not galvanize or help the people of Iran who are now pissed at getting bombed by Israel and us 5. We bombed a school full of children 6. We did not end the nuke program 7. We here in America are facing huge gas prices 8. We did not accomplish a single thing 9. We have a surrender monkey President who is going to pay off Iran so they open the straits 10. We have a drunk fucking Secretary of Defense 11. We have a Russian spy DOI who just "resigned" 12. We have a President at 32% approval rating I mean, i think things are going well

Another day. Another staged assassination attempt.

Donald Trump Jr. married Palm Beach "royalty" Bettina Anderson yesterday in a private ceremony… Her late father, banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr, was an Epstein enabler… In 1999 he wrote a recommendation letter calling Epstein “a gentleman of the highest integrity” to help him get big tax breaks in the Virgin Islands… It just happens to be where Epstein Island is..👀 Epstein also used his Palm Beach Bank...

@LindseyGrahamSC maybe you shouldn’t have pushed for an idiotic war with no clear end game

Congratulations on your wedding @DonaldJTrumpJr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

@RickChapterTwo Health reasons. Makes sense!

Due to my having type II diabetes, I've pretty well given up my chocolate covered donuts. So I just buy donut holes instead... 😛

@GeorgeProust Apart from the usual suspects (Davis Boies, Harvey W, Katie Couric, et al),would ya look at who the CIA dragged in? 🧐 Valerie Plame. I'm old enough to recall they tapped her to play the role of American whistleblowing hero back in the heady days of the early aughts.

It's insane how influential these people are, that are on this list. And they're happy to go to Epstein's brunch, just one year after he's released from prison for trafficking underage girls.

Amy: The Epstein network operates the same way: insulating powerful men through layers of women, then discarding those women first when scrutiny or speculation arrived. It’s a pattern that emerges repeatedly throughout the files. I’ve spent nearly a year investigating the Epstein case through a survivor-centered lens and I’m on substack (link in bio) if anyone is interested in learning more.

@AmberWoods100 Yes, Ma'am! That is who I am referencing.

@SenoraRamirez Ashley St Claire? She has spoken of how he wants a “legion of sons” and has a compound where he would prefer the mothers of his children all live in Texas.

I’m on it. 🔥✊🏼 Tonight at 10 PM EST, I’m dropping a new investigation for paid subscribers on Substack. The Epstein files. 23andMe. A survivor who has been screaming for years to be heard. DNA databases. Billionaires. AI and genetic data. The deeper I dig, the darker this story gets. Subscribe now if you want the full story before the Epstein Network PR team comes along to scrub it offline or attack me.

@JuanitoSay I looked this photo up to see if it was a photo-shopped exaggeration. It's not. This is horrifying. This woman is clearly struggling to a dangerous extent & it's heartbreaking to see. She's got a little guy who needs his mama. My sincerest best wishes & healing thoughts to her.
