Dear everyone. Please stop screenshotting X and posting it here. If I wanted to know about the weird AI sex death cult I would have kept my account there. Also I didn’t need to know about Harry Potter fanfic.

Bill Gates is known to be in the Epstein Files, so much so that it led to his divorce. There are reports that he even got an STD from an affair. Why is the media ignoring his behavior while fawning over his AI claims?

If only there was some way for these companies to stop their many civilizations of AI agents from hacking every website on the internet. Perhaps something that controls what traffic leaves their network, like one of those walls you have to prevent fires from spreading.

Being really enthusiastic about new technology and our scientific and technology industries was the USA’s brand for what, the entire 20th century? And seems like over the course of about 20 years, big tech and our abject failure to meaningfully regulate it has pretty successfully lit that on fire.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
