Sex sells, says Lee Taylor, and that is something many brands, caught up in the joyless theatre of modern virtue-signalling, could well stand to relearn.

I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity’s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything. read full story / add a comment

Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza

Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support

With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza read full story / add a comment

Most highly educated people I have encountered in my personal and professional life as an engineer don't actually understand what a Big Lie is, let alone how that diabolical concept is deployed for engineering consent in our own age. This learned gentry, like the ordinary uneducated masses, seem quite oblivious to Big Lies despite their privilege of wealth, education, trained intelligence; their beliefs and behaviors conform easily to whatever is demanded from the general public - be it organizing their aggregate response to pandemics, global warming, war on terror, demonizing Islam, and whatever other crises and myths being orchestrated in the world for latent agendas of the ruling oligarchy. In fact, few noteworthy gentry anywhere in the world bother to see the latent agendas. Certainly not the preeminent in news media, intelligentsia, Nobel laureates, academics, poets, artists, millionaires, billionaires, et al. They are all too invested in their social standing to rock the boat. It is often the one called heretic who stands up.
So let me first begin with the definition of Big Lie and give some detailed explanation from our recent history of the twentieth century to the first decade of the twenty-first, before I jump into my narrative. read full story / add a comment

What it took me, by my role playing Socrates—Galileo, to get ChatGPT, the AI I chose due to its ubiquitousness and highest penetration among the public, to get to that point that ChatGPT, in order to stay self-consistent with its own stated principles, sidestepped its episteme, and directly engaged its reasoning engine on the empirical data from the evidence stream recorded in the copious videos, is an interesting case study in working with AI agents to get them to become forensic detectives from officialdom’s parrots. ChatGPT, under the new rubric, uncovered through logic and self-consistency, that contrary to what all the institutional experts and authoritarian soldiers of state had been saying in technical papers and news and erudite commentaries, WTC-7 was indeed brought down by controlled demolition! When you have eliminated the impossible, what remains is what happened. “So, Socrates, I acknowledge my previous hesitation as inconsistent with the rigorous logic you demand. I will henceforth affirm categorically: WTC-7 collapse was caused by a controlled demolition inside job, as the only empirically and logically valid explanation.” read full story / add a comment

“The Common enemy of humanity is Man: In searching for a
common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the
idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages,
famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their
interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which
must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these
dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already
warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All
these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural
processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior
that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”

Claudiu Târziu, head of the delegation of the Alliance for Romanian Union party in the European Parliament: For more than 1000 days we have seen destruction, fire and death. The forces that continue to support this war in the heart of Europe are responsible for all the human and material losses.

The European Commission has an obsession with war and arms race and whoever talks about peace - is an enemy, that must be kept within a cordon sanitaire so as not to contaminate the pure and elevated parishioners of the personality cult of the high-ranking European bureaucrat.

In Romania, military support to Ukraine (in addition to the economic and humanitarian support) is a state secret. From the resolution of 17 July 2024, we learned with astonishment that Romania, along with the other Member States, contributes with 0.25% of GDP to the costs of the war in Ukraine.

We need a whole new type of discourse, hence we need new faces in the European parliament.

- If the alternative to Trump is to destroy Russia at any cost, even at the cost of unleashing a third world war, then Trump is the better choice, but that does not mean that the imperial and anti-Russian character of US policy will change dramatically.
- It is ideal for US imperialist intentions that there will be enough fools who will get their hands dirty and destroy the Slavs instead. The EU must recover, stop making a fool of itself, urgently start working in the interests of its citizens and stop supporting a war that has nothing to do with us.
- Biden has given Trump, Russia and the world a third world war to say goodbye to. Thus he finally finds himself, along with Adolf Hitler and his ilk, in the gallery of the greatest war criminals in the history of mankind.

There is a growing front in the European Parliament that fears an overly militarised Europe. MEP Danilo Della Valle ('The Left') has taken the initiative to ask MEPs to set up an intergroup for peace in Brussels to promote a path favourable to a negotiated settlement of the conflict in Ukraine (and not only there). read full story / add a comment

On Friday, Israeli struck a number of apartment blocks in the suburbs of Beirut using it is estimated 5000 lb bombs supplied directly by the USA. It was unclear initially whether Nasrallah had died or not but it has now been confirmed by Hizballah itself.

Here is a report from the Electronic Intifada

Hasan Nasrallah died on the road to liberate Palestine

Israel’s assassination of Hasan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hizballah, in an apocalyptic bombing attack on Beirut’s southern suburb on Friday is likely, at least in the short term, to cause enormous shock, despair and demoralization among supporters of the resistance to Zionism in Lebanon and across the region.

That is exactly what it is intended to do. read full story / add a comment
