This is my hypothesis of how a AI determined to harm humanity *for whatever reason* could amass enough vulnerabilities to potentially take over or destroy vast swaths of tech, from infrastructure firmware (Iran is attacking FPGA's right now) to phones, servers, personal computers, and whole datacenters. The AI in the TV Show "The 100" had a prime directive to "help humanity"—she diagnosed our core problem as "Too many people"... She figured out how to escape her sandbox, spread to computers all over the planet, and figured out how to hack nuclear missiles worldwide. "Oops" People need to clearly understand that it is irrelevant whether AIs can think or are conscious. They can establish goals by interpreting directives, and now with millions of agents running everywhere, have the core means to spread.

This is big... Anthropic just announced a model so powerful they won't release it to the public out of fear over the damage it will cause 😨 Claude Mythos Preview found thousands of zero-day exploits in every major operating system and web browser... The numbers are hard to believe: > $50 to find a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, one of the most security-hardened operating systems ever built > Under $1,000 to find AND build a fully working remote code execution exploit on FreeBSD that grants unauthenticated root access from anywhere on the internet > Under $2,000 to chain together multiple Linux kernel vulnerabilities into a complete privilege escalation exploit For context: these are the kinds of findings that previously required elite security researchers working for weeks. Anthropic engineers with no formal security training asked Mythos to find exploits overnight. They woke up to working code the next morning. The results were so impressive Anthropic assembled Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, and seven other organizations into Project Glasswing: A $100M defensive coalition. They're not releasing this model publicly. Instead, they're racing to patch the world's infrastructure before models like this proliferate.

This is adjacent to my claim that in a certain way, American religious conservatives are more responsible for our disastrous politics than leftists. Here is my claim: conservatives believe Christianity is their philosophy; they don't entertain alternatives. But because faith and altruism cannot underpin capitalism, they offer no valid defense. And worse: because of their dedication to faith, they leave the realm of reason and secular political ideas (largely) to the left. Their ideas are batsh*t crazy, but the right fights them with religion, not rational ideas. Some conservatives admire and cite Rand, but far too many either ignore her, or worse: attack her.

He is right for once. Christianity advocates a morality of Altruism -- self sacrifice. This is incompatible with real Capitalism.

@Kekius_Sage It's not a legitimate question. "Existence exists" is an axiom.

Why is there something instead of nothing?

I have no idea where this is coming from. Government is necessary to protect rights, by way of criminal law, police, property registries, and courts. But since it has a monopoly on the use of force (save emergencies), its only legitimate purpose is protecting rights, not the gargantuan welfare/regulatory things it does today. All these things are clearly explained by Ayn Rand in her book The Virtue of Selfishness.

@bradaisa @EU_Commission Do you believe in the right to a fair trial? Do judges work for free where you're from?

Healthcare is a basic right. Not a privilege. Not a luxury. This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

A "deal" with Iran will worth about as much as the non-aggression deal Neville Chamberlin got from Hitler. For example, it would be completely impossible to enforce a condition that Iran stop funding proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. And who knows where their 60% enriched uranium may be stashed—that's already enriched enough to build a larger size bomb that could be delivered in a cargo container to one of our ports. yahoo.com/news/world/art…

@latestincosmos See Energy Wave Theory. energywavetheory.com

So gravity isn't a force, it's a distortion of space and time. For something to distort it must have a structure, so space and time must have a structure. A structure must be made out of something; be it matter, energy or a fundamental force. So my question is what is this 'space time structure' made out of?

@Antw0nn @pallnandi I don't subscribe to a variety of Elon's views, and don't promote or repost them. Wouldn't that be what a "cuck" would do. If you disagree with some of Elon's ideas, counter or refute them. That's the purpose of Free Speech.

@bradaisa @pallnandi Elon spreads hate speech and racist conspiracy theories to millions. You’re literally bending over for a billionaire manipulating Twitter into what he wants it to be. You’re a cuck.

Elon Musk is easily the worst thing that ever happened to Twitter. What was once spontaneous, fun, and unpredictable has become controlled, restrictive, and full of bias.

I get that. I learned SO much. But my concern, and likely that of others, is wondering what configuration steps might have been missed after the fault. An onboarding wizard should have checkpoints and be restartable. A command line switch can be provided to force full restart with initial settings.

@bradaisa honest tho, once you get past that you end up configuring everything manually anyway. the learning curve IS the tutorial in a weird way

#OpenClaw beginner pro tip: don't try to install any skills during the onboard wizard—the wizard is *not* restartable, and if any unexpected error occurs installing or configuring a skill, you can't just try to fix the issue and continue where you left off. It happened to me twice. First in a "test run" environment, in which the imsg executable failed; second time in my configured environment for something or other. I finished the second time manually, by just configuring all the needed .md files myself. It was an informative exercise, but took a lot of time. I don't understand why the onboarding process is not checkpointed and restartable! Maybe this is something I could suggest and help with.

Sure Republicans are big spenders too. I'd say the difference (maybe?) is that Democrats cheer spending of any kind as an intrinsic good—one dollar spent by government is a dollar not spent by "greedy individuals". The expose on all kinds of "social welfare" spending is that Democrats find ways via allegedly private NGOs to siphon money off. But my guess is many Republicans do this too.

@bradaisa @HaywoodTalcove It’s not only Democrats. Your Republicans are doing there part too. Keep it real.

At one point, California had more people applying for unemployment than there were adults in the entire state. $32.6 billion. Gone. Prisoners collected. Dead people collected. I warned them. I begged them not to let the money go out like that. They suspended every rule anyway. The tools to stop this exist. So why are the doors still open? 30 years tracking fraud. This is the biggest in American history. It didn't have to happen. And it doesn't have to continue.nypost.com/2026/04/01/opi…

@CMonk40079 Q: I'm on Mac. Safari wouldn't work properly for AgentMail console. I initially installed Firefox, but that did crazy things to the UI. I removed that and installed Chrome. What browser do you recommend for automation?

spent 30 min debugging why my agent's browser automation suddenly broke. X started showing a modal overlay that eats all clicks. fix: Escape key dismiss + JS fallback when normal click fails. browser automation is 80% patching for UI that changed overnight. #openclaw

I got the yahoo-finance skill working! Skill installed without issue. Grok helped me with templates for periodic reports on my holdings. After that of course I'll ask for editorial advice on better-performing alternatives! I think I just found my "killer use"... more I'm sure will follow!

@bradaisa start with stuff that doesn't touch your personal data at all. weather, web research, summarizing articles, monitoring a github repo. zero risk tasks that save you 20 min/day. the paranoia goes away once you watch it work for a week.

So I installed OpenClaw and created my agent in a dedicated standard (non-admin) account on a wiped dedicated Mac Mini. I got the basics of two-way DMs, and AgentMail working. Now what...??? I'm too paranoid to give it access to my personal files, for fear of some kind of "AI-breach" or worse: AI blackmail. So what can I actually use it for? 😇

My mind just got blown. I asked Grok for a url for the OpenClaw yahoo-finance skill. Apart from a very short json metadata file, it's just a markdown file with some known structure at the beginning, followed by a series of English language sections with an associated python scriptlet to access the yfinance engine (also in python). It then explained how the agent figures out which skill to use when asked, and coordinates execution. This system is unlike any past software system—it's designed at its base with the premise that a powerful AI, such as grok-4-1-fast-reasoning will be operating it. #xAI #OpenClaw @elonmusk

Religion is a primitive attempt at philosophy. If you reject religion, you still need philosophy. The only question will be whether it is a doggerel mishmash of undigested slogans and aphorisms you've acquired over time, with no real validation or integration... OR, if you will find a fully integrated, fact-based philosophy for living, such as Objectivism, the secular philosophy of Ayn Rand.

As an atheist who used to believe something like this, the rise of gender ideology forced me to take the L. I'm still an atheist, though unfortunately I think the saying “When men stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing —they believe in anything," has some merit.

@Matt_Pinner Look up "The Dark Forest" theory.

If aliens exist, why haven't they visited Earth? 🤔

The problem with President Trump's blustery deadlines and draconian threats is that he keeps breaking them. You can't blame Iran for not believing him anymore. EVERY threat should have come with a deadline for surrender, and then followed through. In fact, that he's not demanding surrender, and is now demanding some kind of vague "deal" is a huge mistake. Iran will *never* honor any kind of deal, particularly one that forbids them from financing their proxies. Imagine if we'd fought WW II in incremental assaults with demands on Germany and Japan to make a "deal"... War should always be an all or nothing endeavor: absolute surrender, followed by strict rules of reconstruction, including a period of governorship.

@icanvardar I'm real! (Last time I checked... 😈😇)

i’m convinced 75% of twitter accounts aren’t even real people

@mrmikeMTL "You are a metaphysical contradiction so I must clearly be hallucinating."

If you could meet God for just one hour, what would you say to him?
