The following candidates should loudly and immediately drop out of the California governor’s race. They have no path to the governor’s office and can only serve as Democratic spoilers at this point. @katieporterca @MattMahanSJ @AVillaraigosa @TonyThurmond

@spotlightoncn So USA bans open source Chinese models and forces everyone to use high priced American models

Last week, amid the global headlines surrounding the high-stakes summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing, a quieter but profoundly consequential piece of research dropped in Nature. A team of seven researchers from major American universities published the first peer-reviewed evidence that China’s state-controlled media has successfully worked its way into the training data of AI chatbots that the world increasingly relies on. The study demonstrates that scripted articles, official slogans, and party-line phrasings churned out daily by entities like the Xinhua News Agency and the Communist Party's study apps are now demonstrably embedded inside ChatGPT and other top models. A quick test of one of Xi Jinping's signature political doctrines shows that global chatbots seamlessly finish the phrases and offer to explain their political significance, reflecting an underlying saturation of state doctrine. By combing through CulturaX, a massive open-source data set containing 189 million Chinese-language documents widely used to train AI models, the researchers found that state-media content is 41 times more abundant in the corpus than Chinese-language Wikipedia. While the overall overlap sits at a modest 1.64%, that share climbs to roughly one in four documents when filtering for politically sensitive terms like the Party Congress or the Central Committee. “What is new here is now they are shaping the systems people increasingly ask to summarize, explain, and interpret the world for them,” explained Molly Roberts, a researcher on the team and co-director of the China Data Lab at the University of California San Diego. She noted that through this mechanism, authoritarian governments can now shape information consumption not just domestically, but across international borders. When the team posed politically sensitive questions regarding Chinese governance to major commercial chatbots, the Chinese-language answers came back overwhelmingly more favorable to Beijing than their English counterparts. While Western models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok showed a distinct divergence between languages, China’s own DeepSeek model remained uniformly pro-Beijing across both English and Chinese, reflecting strict state regulatory control over its data. The phenomenon extends beyond China, revealing a similar pattern for queries regarding Russia and North Korea. Crucially, this ideological slant did not require covert cyber operations; the propaganda is simply available on the open web in plain, unpaywalled HTML, making it free and easy for any AI lab's web crawler to scoop up and ingest. This reality highlights an uncomfortable systemic asymmetry in global media ecosystems. While independent, high-quality journalism in democracies increasingly relies on paywalls to sustain its operations, state-run propaganda from authoritarian regimes remains entirely free, creating a massive economic imbalance in the textual material available for machine learning. A broader audit spanning 37 nations confirmed that this trend is a global issue: the lower a country's press freedom, the more regime-friendly the local-language output of the AI becomes. Because large language models do not transparently cite their sources, users are left completely unable to decipher the true origins of the geopolitical narratives presented to them. The Beijing summit generated a brief wave of international headlines, but this structural penetration of artificial intelligence demands a policy conversation that lasts years. While the scientific community has officially proven that authoritarian states are shaping global AI outputs, the question of how democracies will counter this invisible influence remains entirely unanswered. wsj.com/world/china/th…

@LundukeJournal Maybe but why would a trans person implement age verification? A lot of trans people have problems because their drivers license doesn’t match their chosen gender .

Linux distros run by Leftist activists are more likely to implement Age Verification. If you look at the stats, that becomes clear: - There is a noteworthy overlap between “Non-Woke Linux Distributions” and “Linux Distributions Opposing Age Verification”. - At the same time, the majority (possibly all) of Linux distributions planning to implement Age Verification… are decidedly “Woke” (or have taken Leftist stances).

⚡️KYC for Your Phone? In 7 days, anonymous phones may as well be dead. A new FCC rule demands cell service operators to ask for their customer’s government IDs, personal information, and past phone numbers. This goes for SIM cards, eSIMs, and VoIP numbers. All supposedly to protect you from automated scam calls. Let’s get this straight; we’re going to create massive new loosely-protected databases of people’s personal info to protect people from scams? Its a data breach waiting to happen… 🤳Get the scoop in today’s episode (tbot.substack.com/tbot-23) 📲Your private life should stay private. Let’s start with your phone. (abovephone.com/tbot)

🚨NEW in the US Senate: The GAME Act claims to protect kids from sports betting ads. 🚩This bill, like most of the "child safety" policy we're seeing, claims to be solving a very real problem but actually has a massive surveillance infrastructure with zero guardrails. The bill includes the use of biometrics and persistent tracking with zero guardrails on the data. Child protection or infrastructure creep? Thoughts? 🧵

@MichaelKarlis Typical Democrat

Full Story: sacurrent.com/news/politics-…

TX-35 Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo says she will convert ICE detention center in Karnes County into an internment camp for "American Zionists." "It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists," she added.

@MaxNordau Joe Rogan isn’t even a republican. He’s a Bernie bro.

Ages 45+ have never heard of Fuentes.

@nowavves1 @ResistanceSean That can’t happen in California but keep trying

@ResistanceSean They’re pushing him now because they know it’s the only avenue to eek out a Republican win. If Steyer gets the Dem nomination, an independent will jump in and run on no billionaires to split the vote, a Republican will get a plurality.

I am calling it now. Leftists will push Steyer in 2028 as the progressive candidate if he wins the Ca Gov race. Yes, they will choose him over AOC.

@ResistanceSean Steyer won’t win . It will be Becerra and Hilton . Even in a Steyer Becerra race , Becerra will win . Reliable dem voters are poc , seniors and more center left . They won’t vote for a white billionaire

@_cat_turner @Susan_Shelley @HJTA Fk that . It hits all of us not just boomers

@Susan_Shelley @HJTA Tax the boomers. Repeal prop 13

Tom Steyer brags he's the only candidate for governor who wants to dismantle Proposition 13. By the way, voters rejected a split roll in June 1978 (Prop 8) and in November 2020 (Prop 15). Also, small businesses that rent space pay the property taxes, it's in the lease. @hjta

@DailyCaller Not surprised

🚨SCOOP: California’s two-term treasurer, Fiona Ma, has met with high-level CCP officials and intelligence personnel dozens of times in the last several decades, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. During these many meetings in the U.S. and China, the Democratic frontrunner in California’s 2026 lieutenant governor race has introduced American lawmakers to Chinese intelligence officials and also repeatedly presented awards to CCP members and influence operatives, according to DCNF translations of Chinese government and state media reports.

@financialjuice Trump is an idiot . Lifting sanctions will allow them to buy more weapons , fund proxies , pay the irgc

🔴 Senior Iranian Source: The US has shown flexibility in ongoing discussions, including over limits to Iran's nuclear work. Washington has so far only agreed to unfreeze 25% of Iran's funds on a phased timetable. Tehran has demanded that the US release all funds. Iran's revised proposal demands a permanent end to the war and lifting sanctions, alongside reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran will discuss its nuclear issue in later stages.

@rohanpaul_ai Meanwhile USA and some states want to ban teens from using AI and are trying to pass legislation to age gate AI .

China: a 10-year-old casually gets a Mac Studio for “raising lobsters,” aka letting multiple AI agents work together like a tiny digital crew. “The world of the future belongs to those who understand Tokens.” Meet the AI-native children.

@D_Bengston @Osint613 His kids have business with the Pakistanis . Thats the only reason I can think of

@Osint613 Trump needs to explain to his supporters why he is negotiating with terrorist murders

NEW 🔴 Iran State run Tasnim reports the latest U.S. proposal would temporarily suspend sanctions on Iran’s oil exports during negotiations. Tehran says any final deal must include the full removal of all sanctions, while Washington is offering only interim relief until a permanent agreement is reached. (Take this report with caution)

@Investingcom Perhaps we can give them permission to enrich nuclear materials and make a bomb next . Trump is pathetic .

*THE US HAS ACCEPTED THE LIFTING OF IRAN'S OIL SANCTIONS IN ITS NEW TEXT: A SOURCE CLOSE TO THE NEGOTIATION TEAM TOLD TASNIM *UNLIKE ITS PREVIOUS TEXTS, THE US HAS ACCEPTED IN THE NEW TEXT TO WAVE IRAN'S OIL SANCTIONS DURING THE NEGOTIATION PERIOD: TASNIM 🇮🇷🇺🇸

@onthespectacle @IRHologram @aenigme @WallStreetApes Try living in Hong Kong . It’s a lot more expensive

@IRHologram @aenigme @WallStreetApes I agree the cost of living in the USA is out of control. Yes, prices have gone up everywhere but not like the US. I’ve just spent five months in Europe, so much more affordable for groceries and day to day living. We are gouged in the USA

This American works full time in the operating room at a hospital and just got off a 12 hour shift It’s after midnight and she must now go drive DoorDash after being on her feet for 12 hours because the cost of living is so high in America “I work in the operating room and I just worked a 12-hour shift in the operating room and I cannot afford my rent. I can't afford my rent. I can't afford gas. I can't afford groceries. I can't afford any of my endless other bills that I am responsible for because I am an adult. After working a 12-hour shift in the operating room. So you know what I have to do? I have to DoorDash, and it's 12: 30 at night after I've been on my feet in the operating room for 12 hours all f*cking day. I'm now out DoorDash driving” I’ll never shop sharing these stories because we must ALL advocate for a drastically lower cost of living We cannot accept this is the way things are. We cannot accept this is the direction we’re going and things will just keep getting more expensive

@_GuildNavigator @WallStreetApes My cousin earns 250k plus benefits. This video doesn’t pass the smell test

@WallStreetApes Something is off here with this Either where she's chosen to live, or something else - if she's a nurse... nurses in this country can pull $200K
