Dear shitlibs, I think you blew it by running Bob Dole in a skirt in the most important election in history against a fascist and refusing to surrender your pet genocide in Gaza. You think lefties blew it by not... uh voting for Bob Dole in a skirt. Moving on...

neither one of us has a time machine so it's not actually germane to ANYTHING I'm typing out here and you could just stop telling me useless feelsball shit in my replies. I KNOW you don't have a plan, you ain't needa prove it to me.

"If you want to improve the model's output, you can write skill files with more specific instructions!"

"Oh wow so like a file that tells the computer to do exactly what you want?"

"Yep!"

"You're never gonna believe this."

Whatever the verdict, we know this is just the beginning. With state charges, more defendants, and potential appeals on the horizon, we must continue the fight to defend our loved ones and our movements. All eyes on the Prairieland trial!

[USA] PRAIRIELAND FEDERAL TRIAL UPDATE 3/10

In a surprise move, all 9 defense teams rested their case immediately following the conclusion of the prosecution's time.

This means closing arguments will begin tomorrow, and the jury is expected to begin deliberation Thursday, 3/12.

I'm gonna go against the general grain on Mastodon and say it's futile to fight against AI.

The cat's out of the bag, the genie out of the bottle. The fight we can, and must have is for the democratisation and use of AI for public good rather than at the behest of capital

I'm not talking about LLMs here (though they can be helpful). Seizing the computational advances that this AI wave brings is a genuine huge opportunity for humanity in terms of drug discovery, advances in computational simulations that would make Soviet central planners jealous. It's not a panacea, but a lot of tasks around pushing the boundaries of what's possible are endlessly testing and disproving theories, where AI would be relatively helpful.

I don't think blowing up data centres is the way to go, as it invites further brutalisation and restrictions on personal freedom to protect capital.

I think Chinese Labs are an answer to this.

I think making AI models more efficient and their use on consumer hardware tractable (Qwen3-Coder-Next is a great example that can run on Macbooks and has N-1 performance) is an answer to this.

I think fighting tooth and nail for LLM work to never be copyrightable is an answer to this.

I think new players like CXMT coming online with maybe less cutting edge, but mass affordable and accessible memory chips is an answer to this.

I think DeepSeek, Z.AI, Mistral distilling frontier models is an answer to this.

My ability to generate AI slop will inevitably outcompete your ability to shut it down. Your boss' ability to vibecode shit will outcompete your attempts to sandbox them or argue for proper due process.

The fight can only be fought by making AI economically intractable, not via moralisation

I'm sorry, but my read is pretty deeply that this is Anthropic using a mundane contract dispute to run marketing about AI alignment and safety.

They already dropped their "safety pledge" citing the tired old inevitably saw, partner with Palantir, and their products were already used in the illegal and immoral raid on Venezuela.

A major Pentagon–Anthropic showdown is underway. The Pentagon is pushing for Claude to enable mass AI surveillance + autonomous drones, threatening a supply-chain-risk label or a defense production act takeover if they don’t. Ultimatum was issued for tomorrow. Anthropic just refused. https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war

When I last left this thread, I made it clear that I had no desire to write about the Epstein billionaire pedophile rapist influence peddling ring, which includes Trump as a co-conspirator, and operational partner, not a victim - remember, Trump is "the dog that hasn't barked." I didn't want to touch the story again because after years of dealing with the case, knowing the horrible shit I know about what was actually going on in Epstein's world, and watching precisely nobody go down for it except Epstein and Maxwell (even though we know the DoJ originally identified at least 10 co-conspirators and there were over a thousand victims; even Jeff Epstein can't rape minors 24 hours a day, so clearly he's not the only guilty party) wasn't good for my mental health.

Six months later, it's clear that I made a mistake, both tactically, and in terms of how much worse what the FBI had on the Epstein ring was, than what had been publicly reported - which is astounding, because as I noted above, what had been publicly reported and could be hunted down on Jeff Epstein's Wikipedia page is pretty horrifying and incriminating for our ruling classes, already. In particular the sheer scale of the influence peddling operation Epstein was engaged in likely makes this the story of the century - and that's without factoring in that one of the members of the ring, would go on to become the most corrupt President in American history (twice, so far), almost certainly had Jeff Epstein murdered, and has had access to an entire decade-long Department of Justice investigation into all the people Epstein was colluding with or blackmailing. All of which probably goes a long way towards explaining why Trump appears to be running half the planet despite only being president of one country. I believe that in some respects, after killing Epstein, Trump became Epstein - or at least has been able to heavily influence the behavior of the billionaires, CEOs, royal family members, spies, political leaders, entertainment figures, intellectuals and celebrities in the files.

And that, I think is the handle that most people are only just now coming to grasp. What the Epstein files Trump's crooked DoJ has been willing to show us expose, isn't just a pedophile ring, but a vast influence trading operation that used blackmail as only one part of a larger plan to reshape the entire Pig Empire, and with it, the world, according to the whims of clearly unhinged, decadent, and reactionary rich people. In some ways, what the files that have been released so far show is that Epstein was the Little Finger of a Pig Empire (and beyond) billionaire ruling class; the guy pulling the strings on some truly unbelievable plots to control our society, and connecting the experts to transform the world for the benefit of obscenely wealthy capitalists, entire intelligence agencies (at least three that we know of) and political leaders all over the Pig Empire "West" and its subsidiaries. I think the overall goals of both Epstein, and the larger ring which Trump was definitely a valued member of, can best be understood by one June 2016 email chain between Epstein and billionaire nazi tech bro Peter Thiel. Epstein first tells Thiel that Brexit is "just the beginning." Thiel asks, "of what?" Epstein replied:

"Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.”

Which might on the surface sound like a boast, but throughout the files the US DoJ has released so far, there's a great deal of evidence that Epstein was up in every right wing, tech bro, billionaire nazi plot to destroy the liberal democratic order (don't get me started on why that sucks too), profit from its demise, and replace it with a Pig Empire-wide fascist order run by billionaire nazis - to my eyes, it genuinely looks like the entirety of right wing/fascist politics, activism, and plots to overthrow even faux democratic electoral processes over the past 15 are rooted in Epstein's plots, along with actors like Steve Bannon, but also guys like Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Peter Thiel, and other aligned power brokers we'll get into as we go forward.

In other words, and as alarming as this sounds - this isn't just a pedophile ring full of sadists and murderers, it isn't just a blackmail operation, it isn't just human trafficking and sex parties with billionaire guests, it isn't just an intelligence honeypot, it's all of those things as well as a working group for billionaire nazi cultists trying to take over the world, and to a frightening degree succeeding. We are through the looking glass now, and over the next little while I intend to prove it in this thread - if only so that anyone reading can look at the mind-blowing scope of it all with clear eyes, and brave hearts.
