> Will they rename the days of the week?

That’s a ridiculous claim.

Trumpsday is steak day in the Central Super Intelligence Agency cantina, how can you not love Trumpsday?

I disagree. Science seems to support different interpretations as well.

An example.

"AI as your ally: The effects of AI-assisted venting on negative affect and perceived social support" - https://iaap-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ap...

And generations of housewives and office workers yelled at their corded vacuum cleaners and (office) computers, and did not drown their children in the bathtub afterwards.

I don’t think expressing cruelty to machines is reliably linkable to expressing cruelty to animals or even other human beings.

Expressing cruelty itself also is in human nature, it’s programmed into each of us. There are really only a few privileged places on this planet where we even get to choose to defy the laws of nature. For the rest of humanity, life is a constant cycle of receiving and expressing cruelty.

You pay for the compute, you, as a human, should be able to yell at the bunch of ones and zeros, if you wish to.

What kind of example is set here if we manipulate genuine human expression in order to condition humans to talk to a tool in a way the toolmaker wants, under the threat of being banned from accessing a technology that every single one of these toolmakers tells us is absolutely necessary to participate in humanity’s "golden age”?

What Anthropic is doing here is basically an existential threat, if you are inclined to believe them that SI is the future. Do not behave as we want and you will suffer, now and in the future.

That is real cruelty, to real human beings.

I am really tired of this bullshit. I can’t imagine how Zelenskyy must feel.

Ok, the president wants elections in Ukraine, fair point, so the US are giving security guarantees for fair and democratic elections by putting boots on the ground in the contested territories to oversee the election, and nuclear forces on standby to make sure no one drops a glide bomb on an election center on Ukrainian controlled territory by accident, right, right?

Yeah, thought so.

I guess raping young women on remote islands got a bit harder after their favorite party planner hung himself by the neck, so the Elites now dabble in public executions again as a form of entertainment.

So that is how we enter the “Colosseum arc", where the tech oligarchs, the president and the secretary of smalldickville witness live from their homes how someone gets executed with their dicks in hand on Facebook, Amazon, Twitch, YouTube and of course AppleTV and place bets on how long he keeps moving or how much blood he will spit after they hit his lung instead of the heart on a "prediction" market.

The way the average US Marine shoots a rifle, this will probably be the same kind of disaster that the Pike execution was.

Why put the strain on anyone’s consciousness at all if you can just use that autonomous SI-powered robot with the machine gun? If Claude can kill 150 children in Iran, what’s one more dude being murdered by a remote controlled or autonomous weapons system?

This is not about justice, it’s about rich people and the president wanting to masturbate on a US citizen’s death because otherwise they won’t get hard any longer.

You can be pro or against death penalty but if I was American this would scare me, if my own government started murdering US Citizens on US Soil and making an event out of it. You know who fucking livestreams executions?

ISIS. Is that the role model for US values now?

I am looking forward to how all the Tech Oligarchs line up to make this a sponsored stream.

All enemies of the United States rejoice, you no longer need to look at how Jihadi John beheads the infidels in 480p in a blocky, choppy video.

You can now witness live how the King lowers his thumb to have US Soldiers murder a US Citizen in glorious 4K, with an Nvidia SI-powered super slowmo.

What a great nation. The greatest of all time. Super Intelligence.

Let me be clear, I 1000% agree that large parts of the Russian government and military are blatantly incompetent. We are on the same side of history, I make fun of the three-day special operation often, and I have nothing but respect for the fight the Ukrainian people put up against a superpower as the aggressor.

Unfortunately, that competence thing counts for everyone else as well. So if you talk about Russian incompetence, we also need to make sure that people understand that this is by design and applied to every military force in existence, and put it into proper context.

This is not about bashing militaries or being American or Russian or European or Chinese, it’s a good example to showcase how the world really works.

If any army becomes extremely competent in executing the best possible outcomes for the people of their country, what keeps them from taking over and getting rid of the layer of decision-making that is causing the most problems?

So the people making their livelyhood from mostly talking about problems and solving them for domestic intesterest groups that don’t necessarily have the best interest of the average citizen in mind make sure they can not be overthrown by their military.

That’s why you see Hegseth dumbing down the force at record speed and Russia is sending the kids of farmers into war and not those of the oligarchs or duma politicians. No matter the color of the pin they wear or what language they speak, it’s all the same filth.

Anyway, a competent military full of competent specialists taking over is what we call military dictatorship, and we tried it often enough collectively that we can confidently say, sometimes the way to get somewhere is just as important as getting there, so democracy and convincing a majority of citizens is better than simply suppressing them.

Because it allows us to think and collectively learn, whereas military decision-making is always a bit backwards and pushes for results at neck-breaking speed.

You cannot apply military optimisation to a healthy civil society. It’s incompatible. Military is a necessary evil, it’s not how the main branch of civil society should work.

If the leaders of the mightiest nations on the planet were competent, we would all live in peace and happily ever after, but conflict is in human nature and incompetence fuels conflict and puts a lot of money into the pockets of everyone who profits from conflict and putting the most incompetent people into the most powerful positions.

Glad we can agree that Russia sucks and hopefully on that almost none of the people in charge of our fate are competent in what they do and we are always an inch away from catastrophic global events.

And that’s why I am now baking some cinnamon buns. Good talk.

I am listening, please explain what else would show competence in the regard of biodefense, than that the people in charge of Russian biodefense can and will reliably identify and contain outbreaks of dangerous pathogens in time to prevent a national or even global outbreak reliably, since at least ’79?

If you want to go down the incompetence route with potential weapons of mass destruction, you could also ask why US Americans allow their army to have access to nuclear weapons.

There were multiple recorded incidents where American citizens almost got atomised on American soil (Broken Arrow operations). Not because of individual mistakes but institutional incompetence.

But you see no one fearmongering about that in public. Because they have proven they can lose a nuclear weapon and recover it, without harming the public.

Just like a single young Russian woman can fuck up and they contain the fuckup without harming the public.

There are about 1000 competent people in an army of the size of Russia, China or the US and that’s it.

It’s expected that most soldiers are incompetent, and just need to follow orders, and in ideal case be patriotic enough to believe they sacrifice themselves for the greater good if they get sent on a suicide mission. Russia is no different from any other army in that regard.

But I honestly consider the Russian forces tasked with biodefense and nuclear more competent than most of their other counterparts in other nations. They frequently train and you get hung by the neck if you leave a blast door open to let the pizza guy in.

In Wyoming you get promoted to three-star nuclear doofus in charge if you do that.

Feel free to read this if you want to know more about the people tasked with preventing nuclear incidents on American soil.

I would link the official page on the Air Force website (https://www.compliance.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-1312...), but the Trump administration is silently deleting all of these documents.

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/963093/afd-131219-045...

Just one of the highlights.

[Maj Gen Carey] insists that we go to this place called La Cantina, I think it was... it was a Mexican place. And I was kind of surprised... I wouldn't pick a Mexican place to go to in Russia but all right, if that's where he wants to go, we'll go there.

So we show up and it turns out that I guess he somehow found out that this place had a band that plays and so he was really intent on singing with the band. He wanted to sing with the band. So we get in and it's extremely loud and the band is playing and he keeps asking the waitress and the bartender if he can sing with the band and they want nothing to do with this. And so he kept having our translator go up with him and ask them well can I sing with the band.

[Maj Gen Carey] said, "go ask them if I could play the guitar." I said okay, I, I asked one of the band members and the guy said, no, I mean, you know, I can't do that.

He goes if you really want to play this guitar go ahead and talk to the restaurant owner or the administrator or the manager, the restaurant manager and I didn't feel like doing that because I didn't want to go find the manager so I, told the General that basically, uh, you know, that he can't, he can't play the guitars and then he said, well try again, so I asked him to get up and we both stood next to this rock band and watched them up close.

I was hoping to keep his interest in doing so and, uh, he, um, and then I said, listen if you really want to play the guitar maybe if you ask him, you know, um, maybe they'd listen to you more than would to me. And I'm not sure if he asked him or not because I, I, you know, I, I sat back down at the table, but he stood there for a while in front of this band and then he came back to the table a little later also, he came back later and sat down also, and said well, no they won't let me play.

That shit is indeed funny.

I wouldn’t worry too much.

Containment in Russia is different from that in China.

They expect stuff like this to happen, and to be fair I think Russia never stopped their bio programmes, and the fact that we are not all dead yet seems to prove them right, that their containment protocols are overall working.

This is not 79' Sverdlosk.

https://meselsonarchive.hsites.harvard.edu/sites/g/files/omn...

The lab in question in this incident has a documented Soviet Biodefense connection.

https://nonproliferation.org/wp-content/uploads/cns-archive/...

But there is no public or otherwise evidence that this is a military pathogen-production plant comparable to Sverdlovsk-19.

The institute’s activities include surveillance of naturally occurring plague in the Russia–Mongolia border region and training Mongolian specialists in plague diagnosis and prevention.

So the handling of pneumonic plague in this facility is probably an everyday occurrence, and not related to a weapons programme.

This is an institute for biodefense, not offence. There was a single person messing up and she paid the price for that mistake.

I understand people are on edge since Covid, but this is not that, or a bio weapon. Just a 28-year-old that dropped a tube by accident and then probably panicked and didn’t follow containment protocol. Shit happens.

Let’s hope she stays the only victim of her mistake.

Sucks to die because of pneumonic plague because a 28-year-old sneezed in the same cafe you get your matcha latte fix.

You are giving your own answer.

> Sam is a proven sociopath, compulsive liar and manipulator. I have absolutely 0 issues believing he'd kill or rape someone, even a family member.

You are heavily biased, and that makes you construct evidence in your head, that makes it more believable to you that he did what you already are convinced of that he did.

You start with, is there the possibility they are covering for their billionaire son? Sure.

But why, and how would they benefit from that? They all have their own things going and don’t need their brother’s /son’s money.

I also doubt Sam and Annie were indifferent to their parents. She’s the only daughter, mothers are usually very protective of younger kids who are the minority gender in the household, especially in a household full of boys.

They also supported her financially way past maturity, just like they supported their sons. If she was a nuisance, or even a risk, why not just make a hard cut when she’s old enough to live on her own and isolate her?

If you accept sexual abuse in your household for one single kid specifically, isn’t it very unusual to offer that level of support to someone you seem to hate and/or really don’t care for their mental and physical health as a parent?

These are educated people, no methheads.

Then you add another link to the chain and say, well, if they don’t do it on purpose, then they must be in denial he did it.

If it’s not that either, well then the mental health issues must be from being raped as a child.

I am confident you have a bunch more of what you think are valid arguments, but those will also not be anchored in reality.

You’re free to believe whatever you want, even that jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams. Just doesn’t mean it’s true.

Think for a second, how often is the simple answer the right one, and how many times were the conspiracy theorists right?

I really don’t like Sam Altman, but I don’t think the man is capable of murder or rape (I’ve read accusations of both by now) and to be fair, there is a lot pointing in the direction that this might be a case of extortion or persisting mental health issues even without malicious intent.

Reuters leaves out that both law firms representing his sister retracted from the case, by themselves. When asked for comment, they basically said in lawyer speak that they lost all trust in their client.

She claims she has been abused between 1997 (Sam, 12; Annie, 3) and 2006 (Sam, 21; Annie, 12).

There are two younger brothers in the family as well. Plus the parents, who are a dermatologist and a real estate agent.

So there are either two possibilities.

neither the younger brothers, nor the father or the mother, who is a dermatologist and can see the difference between a bruise on one of her kids from hitting something like an idiot, or a fistpunch, or grabbing onto someone, have spotted any signs of sexual abuse for 9 years.

Or they are all in on it and the Altmans are the Incest Rockefellers.

Unfortunately for the tabloids, the simple answer is most likely the right one.

Both his brothers, just like Altman himself live in stable living circumstances.

According to her Instagram, his sister is an artist, entertainer, and author. A not very successful one.

It’s ok to be a dreamer, my better half is one, but if you ever lived with someone that says of themselves they are an artist, entertainer, or author, you’d know that they are very prone to mental health issues, successful or not.

If you don’t believe me, just pull up that picture of Ben Affleck having a smoke outside after going for a second rodeo with J.Lo. If you know, you know.

I think it’s a price that comes with having a very vivid mind and strong emotional feelings.

Unfortunately, these kinds of people always create a mess when they go off the beaten path, because they are very expressive in nature. If you look at her Instagram, you can see what I mean.

A reasonable mind should come to the conclusion that there is a lot more pointing into the direction that what the family states is closer to the truth than what his sister states. The rest is for a judge and jury to decide.

If she continues this even after two law firms retracting, I doubt she will stop before she’ll lose this case.

And that’s also an indicator that she might not be able to differentiate any longer that what she believes is real, is not reality.

If two different car mechanics tell you you will not survive if you take this sports car on the highway one more time and you go yolo, I know it better than the experts, you don’t need to wonder if you wake up in the ICU without legs and suffer the consequences of your own actions. Causality is a bitch.

At least the press in Nazi Germany is honest when they witness the regime botching an execution:

> In a news conference Wednesday night, journalists who witnessed the attempted execution described snoring and complaints from Pike about pain, as well as her kicking her feet so often that she knocked off the sheets laid on her. At times, the curtain was closed and journalists could only hear sounds.

Glad the Nazi Supreme Court stepped in and honourable judges put their name under the order that allowed this to happen.

It’s easy to sign someone’s death warrant as long as you’re not the one having to press the buttons or pulling the trigger.

But I am sure this whole thing makes for a nice laugh at the next ballroom dinner with the president for the conservative majority of the judges.

May their lobster always taste bland and the oysters give them diarrhea.

It’s the SI race! The emperor has spoken, bow to his word peasants.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1wu20hr/q_who_shoul...

I am so disappointed in Sam that they still have not renamed OpenAI to OpenSI. It’s not just very disrespectful of the president, it’s outright unamerican!! /s

What’s most interesting with these statements is always what is written between the lines.

This was very low-hanging fruit, that’s why the assistant director of cyber announced the arrest. Or maybe Ka$h was still hungover from emptying one of his personalised Whisky bottles and they couldn’t get him out of bed.

The FBI works in mysterious ways.

The Dutch authorities themselves do not credit the FBI specifically operationally btw.

https://www.politie.nl/headless-api/nieuws/2026/september/29...

> That's exactly how the best athlete model in the new FBI Cyber Strategy is meant to work: the partner with the strongest authority and access leads.

I think if you throw around intelligence jargon you should explain it to the people you try to address. Best Athlete model is a concept the CIA started using when they couldn’t get any further in the war on terror, around 2007 / 2008.

In this case it basically means:

CIA might have the human source. NSA might have the technical access. FBI might have the domestic legal authority. Dutch police might possess arrest jurisdiction.

So they let the Dutch police lead and if they fuck up they can blame them, while if they are successful they will credit themselves to the operational success, like seen here. Lazy but clever CIA mofos. I love em.

On a sidenote, that concept was put into place at the FBI around the same time by former FBI Director Mueller who was a USMC Vietnam veteran with operational experience.

You might have heard the name from being the special investigator for the alleged Trump/Russia connections or the Lockerbie bombing. Mueller passed this march and served the American people well.

If a man’s greatness is measured in how the enemies of the American people talk about him after his death. I think you did pretty well if Donald Trump publicly states he is glad you’re dead.

So now you know what that term means and where it came from.

> Arrests have a way of changing who is willing to talk, and seized infrastructure has a way of showing us who's left. The longer you stay in this, the more we learn about you. You know how to find us, and we know how to find you. I suggest you reach out first while the choice is still yours.

This is actually the most interesting part. Whatever Shinyhunters stole, it’s important enough the FBI is willing to negotiate with them over it. Past administrations would just dismantle the whole operation and put them and anyone involved in a hole for twenty plus.

But this administration takes bribes in the form of aeroplanes and is pardoning the worst cyber and other criminals to then use them as assets.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the president said if they can bend over the FBI and make them look like absolute amateurs, why can’t they work for us?

And with us, I don’t mean the American people. For ShinyHunters what they did was immature and strategically wrong.

Their egos didn’t allow them to just ignore the FBI and what they consider is an affront of what the group does and why.

But now they dabble in terrorism and that gets people involved you really don’t want breathing down your neck. This arrest is the beginning of the group’s end and they really don’t have any better option than making a deal with the FBI.

I doubt they have a military and/ or intelligence background,otherwise, they would know that even if they gave all the data to a foreign adversary like China or Russia, the kind of protection you get offered is always a lie.

You will end up like Snowden. They suck all the intel right out of you and then they take care of your "safety”, which means you’ll be stuck for the rest of your life in a small flat with all of your activities being surveilled by the local government, and some day you might get extradited for favours anyway, it’s like jail for life with a different-sized cell.

If they are clever they will cut a deal, sit five for show in minimum security, then get hired into the private sector.

No matter how good you think your opsec is, you can’t disappear anywhere on this beautiful planet if the US Government wants you dead or alive. And you all know countless examples that this is true.

And that’s how Benjamin Netanyahu personally planted false evidence on Jeffrey Epstein’s phone about you, after he stole your election, Mr President.

I was more concerned with you spreading Israeli disinformation channels without any form of explanation.

> Yeah, I'm sure that Mossad agents care what useful (?) idiots think on Hacker News.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/26/fake-thinktank...

Come on, you can do better than this, Mossad.

Having your own doomsday bunker (not talking tornado alley people) just tells everyone you are a loser, neither smart nor important enough to simply get picked up by your government and be put into the good full-service government bunker at taxpayers’ expense.

There will also be no help coming if you’re not in that bunker, so what do you need doomsday preparations for if the people who will be rebuilding consider your life worthless and kill you on sight if you tried wasting some of their resources even if your Temu bunker survived anyway.

So the guys selling Shovels are now selling safety shovel handles too, because all the miners are all special boys when it comes to handling their shovels safely.

Cool, cool.

I am sorry, but that’s just a cheap publicity stunt from Congressman Cohen before the midterms.

Congressman Green from Texas tried as well, and that got iced by both parties on the 15th even by Jeffries, Clark, and Aguilar.

He knows that this won’t pass. He knows Trump doesn’t give a shit because he knows as well this won’t pass.

So don’t tell the people you did it out of duty for your country.

If you did it for your country, you would pick the right time, and the right place, and come with enough people to finish the job. This is not that. This is just politics.

You come at the king, you best not miss. - Omar Little

I am not the passport photo police. You do you.

If you trust your government to be competent enough to treat you fairly if your face ends up on the news because someone left a copy of a passport with your face on it at a terror scene, then save the money, if you are happy with the service.

Who am I to tell you what you can and can not do.

I agree, but it won’t happen. There is a whole industry behind that. After the government took their cut, there isn’t much left of your $25.

Hell freezes over before the government lets go of those taxes and puts the guy out of business who is collecting your tithe for them.

This is a super fishy site. No point of contact other than a form. Site looks AI generated by itself.

Technically, the site can add hidden biometric data to the photo that allows multiple people to travel on the same passport.

They also give you incentive to choose the passport you’re going to use it for, pretending the picker is about the specific regulations of your country’s passport. So they even know what passport to fake that most likely belongs to the person uploading their picture.

You will then likely use the photos you downloaded from their website to get official papers and that’s the jackpot for them.

That’s the main reason you should not use a service like this to save 25 bucks. You might be aiding organised crime and/or foreign governments in obtaining travel documents which allow them to hide their true identity.

In Mali, for example, many people want to flee to Europe. They buy a passport with a morphed photo that belongs to someone around the same age, having the same skin colour and citizenship in a European country.

They also know you must be close to obtaining new documents for whatever reasons, as you specifically are looking for their service, and they can retain a copy of the morphed image to sell a passport with your photo to someone around the same age and skin color in a third-world country for a few thousand dollars, or to hide a Mossad hit team from entering the country to murder one of your fellow citizens.

I am confident this has absolutely nothing to do with the Super Intelligence private financial interests.

I will tell you where this gets really embarrassing for the FBI.

Oracle enterprise applications are a gold mine for attackers precisely because nobody treats them as security-critical systems.

In 2025 the Clop ransomware gang discovered that Oracle E-Business Suite has a critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-61882) that allows unauthenticated remote code execution.

Graceful Spider (tracked as Clop affiliates) started exploiting this in early August, well before Oracle issued a patch in October. That’s a two-month window where attackers had free rein.

All you need to know about Clop is that they got fucked by SH as well just a few days ago.

ShinyHunters defaced Clop's Tor leak site and added its own branding and messages. SH claims it stole source code, system logs, plugins, and Tor onion service keys. SH says it plans to give Clop 72 hours to respond to an extortion message.

Say what you want but these kids got balls. Won’t help them once SOCOM starts dealing with them, but they had a good run so far. I think hacking the FBI is as close as you can fly to the sun before the hammer drops.

In February this year they breached Wynn Resorts and lifted data on 800,000-plus employees. Can you guess the entry point?

If you guessed Oracle PeopleSoft, you were right.

Now you’d think the FBI IT people would have noticed that oracle software is a potential national security risk, if multiple ransomware groups keep focusing specifically on the shit Larry Elison personally have to seem vibe coded, over and over.

But Ka$h replaced most of the competent people at the FBI with Ka$h people and by pure luck Oracle won a $396m HR government contract this summer. Who wouldn’t want to supply the most secure software product to manage some of the most sensitive data within the agency, if not the Oracle Moscow branch.

https://mesoclever.com/2026/06/11/oracle-wins-396m-hr-contra...

They even mentioned in the above June article:

> Separately, the cybercrime group ShinyHunters claimed to have exfiltrated student, financial-aid, immigration, health, and administrative records from PeopleSoft instances at more than 100 organizations, predominantly universities. The group stated it had previously targeted an *FBI PeopleSoft server* before pivoting to educational institutions already compromised in earlier campaigns. Oracle has not publicly confirmed the scope or remediation status of these incidents.

So the FBI knew, and had it coming, and if stuff like this happens, THE HEAD needs to roll. And all of his buddies in IT should permanently get to spend their time outside the government at the seafood buffet at Ka$hs favorite gentleman’s club as well.

Fookin Big Idiots.

Without reform, the Security Council is an absolute joke.

They exclude the global south from having a permanent seat at the table, and they need a veto reform.

No resolution when they captured Maduro. Russia has launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine since 2022 and vetoed any Security Council action.

171 days into the Gaza conflict, they passed Resolution 2728, by that time, over 10,000 people had already been killed, and Israel’s immediate response was to announce it would ignore the resolution entirely.

There were a lot of smaller-scale conflicts in the meantime, where the Security Council had a lot of meetings, but nothing ever happened.

Altman could tell them to go fuck themselves and that he is specifically developing tools to kill any person in that room, and the US would just veto the Council from taking any action that could save their own life.

That’s the kind of joke they have become.

Happened before with a guy having a meat processing empire in Germany.

The guy is notoriously known for paying below minimum wage and setting the worst working conditions possible to maximize profits.

They made a law that forced companies in the meat processing industry to have certain standards if they reach a certain number of employees.

So he opened 250 companies on a weekend and split up the workforce to stay below the limits.

Then they just changed the law to declare multiple entities with below the limit they set under same ownership to become a "super entity" with even stricter regulations.

The government has the monopoly on violence of any form. That does not just include that they can send the police after you to hit you with batons, they can also make sure you’re drowning in administrative work and taxing the shit out of you, and the guy threatened to leave the country and just open meat processing in Poland and Bulgaria as well.

In the end, all his threats to leave the country and just do the whole processing in Poland and Bulgaria were empty. They simply told him someone else will just take over, because the profit was still great after the new regulations, and they were going to ban him from doing business on the German market by simply banning his product for food safety reasons.

This is the same thing with a different product. Investors threaten to no longer invest and build housing, but they will just fall in line and shut up in the end, because capitalism dictates that if you no longer want to make good profits because they took away your ability to make ridiculous profits, someone else will just do your business under the new conditions and gladly take the good money over no money at all.

This war will kill far more US soldiers, and it angers me that I still don’t understand what for exactly?

The majority of the reported injuries are TBIs (Traumatic Brain Injury).

Veterans with TBIs are also nearly twice as likely to die by suicide compared to veterans without a diagnosed brain injury, according to data from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

So this will be another generation of soldiers with lifelong impairments.

More than 460,000 service members were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries between 2001 and 2023, according to VA data.

They are often forgotten when people speak about the toll service members and their families pay when the commander in chief makes bad decisions.

I think we should stop attributing criminal AIctivities to some act of bad luck, like spilling a water bowl after we accidentally tripped over the cat in the kitchen.

It’s neither intelligent nor making decisions on its own free will.

Just like APT Botnets don’t go "rogue", someone gave it the instruction to hack your computer system and they are expecting financial benefits from it.

AI labs are basically criminal enterprises by design.

We used to call this cybercrime back in the day and it used to carry heavy prison sentences as a federal offence.

But as you can see, cybercrime as a service has basically become a pissing contest by the super wealthy.

They stole all the world’s intellectual property to build the world’s most sophisticated cybercrime machine and federal law or any law no longer applies to them. Also because the mightiest man on the planet and his clan of extraordinary white collar criminals are cashing in big on this.

It will be interesting to see what happens next.

All this capability signalling happened also when the first nuclear bombs were developed. Then the US army started killing nuclear scientists around the globe in order to prevent others from having the bomb first.

The signal to other nations here is we are developing a weapon capable of breaking into any of your secured information systems and we pretend we put in guardrails but we really don’t.

That is an essential threat to the existence of any other nation on the planet.

When this race starts to go hot, I don’t want to be in the shoes of the people being the frontier thinkers in the field.

It’s one thing developing the tools for autonomous weapon systems in your AI labs. It’s a completely different thing to be on the receiving end.

Without AI there would be no deportation snake. And how am I getting my daily dose of Trump savings tycoon?

How would any patriotic American learn to be a better fascist without their daily dose of Government slop on the official government website?

There are endless possibilities. "Mein Kampf against the Deepstate" as a Trumptastic text adventure.

Who wouldn’t want to get a better understanding about how the election got stolen?

Remember kids, a token used by the government is a token not used from your monthly government AI allowance.

Yeah, guess you’ll be right.

The worst time to be a scientist in the US since people got burned at the stake for witchcraft.

You healed my dying cow, with those magic herbs, witch! Off with your head under my giant golden triumph arch!

Imagine someone dictating what you should research about who does not understand how two layers of paint work with each other.

And then starts blaming domestic terrorism on an Olympic athlete who just walked by and tried to figure out how your golf buddy fucked this reflecting pool coating up for 14 Million USD.

And then you realise 56 million people said yes, that’s my man, I want this guy to be in charge of shaping the future of my children. Nobody hates Americans more than Americans.

I do.

Are you kidding me? The ad budgets for those Agents must be enormous.

I want all of this in OpenAIs pocket. Imagine at Adobe they wake up after the tokenmaxxing shock, to find they blasted through their whole 200 Mil AIds budget for the year in the first month.

Would be a shame if another company’s AI breached their sandbox and manipulated the ad campaign because it hallucinated its actually an OpenAI product and AIdsmaxxing. Only to get noticed weeks later, oopsie.

Thanks to the two big boys we all know no one will go to jail for that. Stuff like this happens to the best, right Dario and Sam?

What they sell is trust and shovels. Their product is expected to solve problems and make companies money.

Guess what? It really doesn’t, and this will be just another nail in their casket.

When corporations realize they get bent over by Altman and lost millions to Agentic AIds, word is spreading fast. Well timed around an IPO this is even better.

Buy cheap, then know they are going to hit their best quarter right after, which will make anyone in the know rich from all the idiots wanting to buy in at fantasy football team value.

Just like the SpaceX ipo.

All the fun aside, you are an absolute moron if you spend your ad budget on this.

It’s way too easy for them to slurp all of that ad money through their giant agentic straw like you were the poor fuck getting his head smashed in with a bowling pin in "there will be blood".

Sam is an Oil man.
