I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

When a society rewards antisocial behavior, punishes compassion and penalizes need/vulnerability, you get a society of assholes held together by the thinnest thread of self-interest. That might work well enough when things are going well, but when shit hits the fan, it detonates.

Yo fui ingeniero en Meta, y siempre seguía FAIR desde adentro. Lo que acaban de publicar es la versión que les dejan publicar. Pero con eso, es más que suficiente para decirles exactamente que es lo que está pasando. TRIBE v2 predice, vértice por vértice sobre la corteza cerebral, qué zonas activa cualquier video. Sin escáneres. Sin humanos. Subes el contenido, obtienes el mapa neural (activación emocional, supresión de razonamiento crítico, modulación prefrontal) antes de que el video lo vea un solo usuario. Ahora considera la posición de Meta: 1. Tiene años de datos de Reels sobre qué contenido retiene atención, genera enojo, provoca compartir. 2. Saben empíricamente qué funciona. TRIBE v2 les da el mecanismo causal de por qué funciona (a nivel de tejido cortical) Eso convierte correlación histórica en capacidad predictiva sobre contenido nuevo. 3. Internamente hay herramientas que se llaman Gatekeepers y Quick Promotions que sirven para inyectar contenido en el feed de poblaciones arbitrarias a escala. 4. Simulador de respuesta cerebral + conocimiento empírico de contenido efectivo + maquinaria de distribución selectiva. El pipeline está completo. Y luego está Thiel. Inversor y amigo personal de Zuck. Fundador de Palantir, cuyo negocio es análisis de poblaciones a escala para gobiernos e inteligencia. NO es descabellado observar que confluyen los incentivos de plataformas construidas por las mismas personas. La licencia CC BY-NC dice que Meta retiene los derechos comerciales del predictor de respuesta cerebral más preciso jamás construido. Y recuerda, esto es lo que decidieron hacer público.

Northwestern University researchers developed modular robots using AI that can adapt to damage and navigate unpredictable terrain, according to a new study

6 years ago today, COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic.

🚨 I've spent weeks inside the Epstein files — not looking for names, but for infrastructure. What I found: Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a sex trafficker. He was a switchboard — routing government secrets, Wall Street intelligence, and political power through one network. The same network that built the censorship machine that targeted your speech during COVID. Five parts. All sourced to DOJ documents. Here's the whole investigation 🧵👇

The skies over North America are getting quieter. Data from long-term surveys show almost 3 billion birds have disappeared since 1970. One warning sign sits lower in the food web. Insects are falling in many places, and some monitoring shows steep drops, including a 27-year study in protected areas reporting large losses in flying insect biomass. Birds that rely on insects feel this fast. Less insect food means harder breeding seasons and fewer young surviving. The link is strong, even if it does not prove one single cause. If this trend continues, the loss spreads beyond birds. It hits pollination, pest control, and the stability of ecosystems people depend on
