I remember reading about a case where a murderer was tied to the crime scene just by analysing the quality of soil on his shoes.

It seemed far fetched then, but after seeing these pictures it really makes sense.

The lack of accountability after what was exposed in the Epstein files illustrates that not one in power actually care about kids.

"Save the kids", is just a ploy to run scams.

> The reasons for this are the current global political situation and improved data protection

I don't understand why people keep saying this when Europe is more hostile towards privacy.

The constantly insist on schemes like chat control, and GrapheneOS users are often confronted by legal authorities.

They may have "the laws", but its way less trust worthy.

No particular order but;

1. Transformers

I think they need to be looked into more. They just work too well.

I feel like they have a secret within that is yet to be known.

2. The 2016 Noble Prize in Medicine

Autophagy has such interesting properties. It can probably do alot more for us now than any new pill or gene editing tool

3. zk-STARKS

I can prove to you than X * Y = Z, without ever revealing what, X, Y or Z are. And I can do this for any function, or math operator.

4. TLock

I can encrypt my will, in a way such that. It can only be read after X years.

And I do not need a trusted third party to do it.

"F*ck you all" translates to;

"I’ve decided to step away to focus on new opportunities and prioritize my own professional growth.

Wishing everyone the best in their future endeavors."

I use it as a research tool.

What it has done is replace my Googling and asking people looking up stuff on stack over flow.

Its also good for generating small boiler plate code.

I don't use the whole agents thing and there are so many edge cases that I always need to understand & be aware of that the AI honestly think cannot capture

I don't have to worry about any of this.

My clawbot & other AI agents already have this figured out.

The human brain is largely for decoration. It's job is to cool blood and absorb "vapors" from food. Aristotle got it right.

It is not largely capable of "thinking"

We are proactively destroying human society. And many people are rallying behind it VCs investing in killing machines.

Citizen's largely don't care, they are largely passive.

It sort of reminds me of Richard Feynman who claimed he was extremely depressed. After the use of the atomic bomb.

It was something very stupid for a so called genius to say.

You work on a mass murder tool, then complain that a mass murder tool you worked on was used for mass murder.

It really depresses me that there is so much emphasis on arms and weapons startups now days.

Even some financed by Y Combinator.

The thing about weapons is that these startups will have no control in what circumstances they are used.

The hypocrisy is people coming here and claiming that such things happening in the world disturb them.

The world would definitely be a safer place if everyone was a pacifist.

I am not saying this one in particular.

Of course no one can admit it publicly.

But it is something that governments are known to proactively do.

You can get dirt on people a la Jeffrey Epstein. And use that to coerce them.

Yes. Of course not all.

But some just happen to work too well.

But governments do have blatant back doors in chips & software.

My suspicion is that. These "exploits" are planted by spy agencies.

They don't appear there organically.

“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”

Berlin interprets this aphorism as articulating a profound distinction among thinkers, writers, and, more generally, human beings.
