I understand why people think there's something going on "behind the scenes," but it's mostly out in the open. This is how power struggles happen in an oligarchy. These guys all need each other in order to remain the small group who control the country and loot its wealth away from working people.
Joshua Reed Eakle: Here's a video of a business leader who called Trump a pedophile last summer, now promising to describe his business using the words that pedophile demanded.

Something is going on behind the scenes that the public is completely unaware of.

Aaron Rupar: Elon Musk corrects himself: "I think it's worth highlighting the positive benefits of AI -- SI, pardon me. I think by far the most likely outcome is major abundance."

The first ‘Copilot’ got coded by a guy at GitHub. Then he got handcuffed by cops for strangling a woman Turns out she wasn’t the first he dated and strangled. Others posted their experience Alex Graveley is his name. He now works at UFO.ai See (1) his face (2) arrest warrant (3) thread on Copilot
Mugshot of Alex (Balabhadra) GraveleyArrest Warrant for Assault Strangulation. 

Here is the graphic description:

Balabhadra pushed [] onto the bed and she stated that she was on her back and Balabhadra got on top of her with his knees holding down her shoulders.
[] said that Balabhadra was squeezing her neck with both of his hands and causing her pain. [] said that the pressured used by Balabhadra was impairing her breathing and she could not breathe for a couple of seconds. [] told officers that she was able to get Balabhadra off of her by hitting and scratching him.

[] stated that after she broke free from Balabhadra they began arguing again in the hallway and Balabhadra grabbed her throat again with both hands and he began squeezing. [] told officers that they were facing each other and the pressure that Balabhadra was applying to her neck was hurting her and making it difficult to breathe. [] was eventually able to break free and she ran into a room downstairs.

When [] went into the downstairs bedroom Balabhadra followed her like before and he used his knees to hold her shoulders down. Balabhadra started to squeeze []’s neck again with both hands, and she was crying. Balabhadra eventually stoped and left the house. 

[] told officers she has pain on her throat, jaw, and shoulders. A thread on YCombinator.com on Alex Graveley’s early work on Copilot.

I work on Copilot now, and I can say this guy is totally full of himself. Just because he contributed to the first prototype does not entitle him to claim creation. He wasn't even the first person inside Microsoft to use LLMs in an IDE completion experience. The work from prototype to product is an order of magnitude more than prototype alone.

Orilly? We had no PM, EM, or designer: I played all those roles for 1.5 years.
I was one of the first to touch the OAI code model. Me and Albert developed the in-the-wild testing harness still in use today. We pulled all nighters to get GitHub approved for participation in the MSFT-OpenAl deal using those test results.
Existing Microsoft AI teams worked to halt our work, pushing their own small, worse models instead of OpenAl's.
I protoyped and lobbied for creation of the VScode extension. I invented and hacked the ghost text prototype into VScode, I invented the block based termination and implemented all the tree-sitter based logic needed to do it. Then I had to lobby up to Satya to get Scode to implement proper support in less than 6 months.
I named it Copilot.

the Globe article was perfect for the fascists because it got a lot of people agreeing with their premise that the fascism is a necessary and proportionate response to the "excesses" of the left. Those "excesses" amounting to a few Instagram comments on a small bar's instagram page was irrelevant.

Yet it's a behavior that persists across social media anyways, with negative consequences for civil discourse and society. Human nature is a contributing factor, but systems that reward outrage only make the problem worse.

people talk about "media literacy" usually in the context of "needing the villain to look into the camera and tell you they're bad," but it goes the other way too--people will fly into a rage and start insisting "fiction has no effect on reality" if you DO acknowledge context, subtext, framing, etc.

its too big "Harvard says we are losing $1.528T each year to #LongCovid in JUST lost earnings and increased medical cost. #MaskUp PDF:--> scholar.harvard.edu/files/cutler...
The second economic cost s lost camings. Based the prevalence rates above, there are an estimated 8.4 million adults with three or more symptoms of long COVID. The labor force participation rate for adults is about 60 percent, which I assume applies to this population. I assume no labor supply consequences for people with <3 symptoms. Surveys of people with long COVID suggest that the reduction in labor supply for those with significant impairment is about 70 percent.’ I assume this persists for five years and that people out of work lose the average amount carned, roughly $1,100 per person. The net loss in income, shown in the second row of the table, is $1 trillion.

The third economic cost is higher spending on medical care. I again use ME/CFS as a guide. Costs for these conditions rage between $3,712 to $13,750.° I assume the midpoint of $8,731 for people with three or more symptoms and one-third that amount for cases with <3 symptoms, consistent with the roughly two-thirds reduction in quality of life. The additional medical spending totals $528 billion, shown in the last row of the table.

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...
Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."

Step One: There's a protest that gets attention. Backlash starts about methods, and arguing begins. The protesters are accused of being too disruptive. Step Two: Some of the protesters are arrested, usually overcharged. A bunch of people say they deserved it. Others give the protesters attaboys.
