Was the October Surprise Treason? Craig Unger’s Den of Spies UNLV Boyd School of Law professor Leslie C. Griffin revisits the “October Surprise,” a theory alleging that the Reagan/Bush campaign in 1980 covertly negotiated with Iran to delay the release of Ameri...

Republican History;

“Ronald Reagan’s campaign manager met with Iranians in Madrid and asked them not to release the hostages as long as Jimmy Carter was president. Casey promised Iran armaments, which Israel would deliver to them.“

Trump: Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!

Oh look at this...

You ain't wrong to think that; it's probably very much the plan.

Oh, no reason (cough, Venezuela, cough)

Why do I keep thinking this is somehow gonna end up with Trump using our military to grab oil and putting the profits in another one of his private accounts?

“PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND… THE WORLD” - Donald Trump

Is it just me, or is this a whole lot of victory-lap energy and glee a little too early in the game when people are dying? It gives me George W. Bush “mission accomplished” vibes. 🤔

The Bored of Peace’s first war.

So, the company is built on crime, which is why they're having to pay billions of dollars in compensation. Out of 7 million books stolen, just 500,000 will be compensated because of the court requirement of US copyright registration. I'm not misinformed, I'm furious that my life's work was stolen.

Check out the files that were released from the recent Bartz VS Anthropic lawsuit. There are documents from Anthropic engineers asking if they should license copyrighted books to use for training data. They knew it was wrong, yet stole the digital files for millions of books - 20 of mine too.

#BoycotChatGPT

not just deleted the app. Deleted my account.

Digital illustration and protest poster. It says Bankrupt this Creep, with an illustration of Zuckerberg. Bankrupt this Nazi, with an illustration of Musk. Bankrupt this pedo, with an illustration of Altman. Big Tech is big trouble for humanity. AI can fuck right off into the stratosphere. Created in vector.

I’ve been waiting three years for people to see how dangerous AI and especially the AI oligarchs are. I feel relieved that people are getting it. Here’s the protest poster I designed to protest at Tesla last year:

So tired of AI

Al had made me appreciate things created by humans more than ever
I love everything I see that I can tell is human made.
It's proof a real person actually tried
The effort makes it more precious and respectful.
draw
sing
paint
play instruments
sculpt
write
YOU ARE ALL INCREDIBLE!

It's almost comical how bad Sam Altman is at being a human being.

A normal human with a normal complement of emotions, like empathy, could easily predict that making a devil's deal with the Pentagon might not sit well with users.

A normal human also wouldn't brag about using AI to raise his kid.

I try to avoid it if at all possible. Data centers are an environmental disaster. Not to mention I don't want a machine to do alllllll the thinking for me. Plus, I've seen the Terminator movies. I know how this ends.

Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAI’s Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows.

Congress Is Betraying America's Founders by Ceding Power to Trump — Rolling Stone The framers of the Constitution believed liberty lived in the friction between governmental branches

Congress Is Betraying America's Founders by Ceding Power to Trump

The concentration of power in the modern presidency isn’t an accident. It’s the result of Congress giving up its authority.

4/9. The Iranian operation in 2020 was designed to help Donald Trump get elected.

5/9. This is unsurprising. The Russians and the Chinese also try to prop up Trump. Everyone outside the US knows that he weakens the US.

6/9. Trump and allies rewarded the Iranians and the Russians and the Chinese by punishing the US researchers who discovered all this and abolishing the agencies that tracked it.

7/9. And now Trump uses the Iranian electoral operations that were on his side and which he has enabled as a reason to attack Iran. Absurd.

9/9. The case is in the DOJ archives. Read it before they delete it.
