Just some random guy who happened to start a website which took off and made him a billionaire financier of online censorship. Sounds familiar... It sounds like he has been "with intelligence" for a long time.

His site wiped out a key revenue stream of small, local, and alternative newspapers across America, and thus centralized news coverage in large institutions, and he is now working to restrict online speech to establishment-approved opinions. Everyone who has ever lived through a cyber dystopia knows this story well.

We’re about to be able to simulate any musician doing any song, from scratch. What is happening now with AI generated images is soon coming to music. You will be able to generate new and crazy songs from descriptive text prompts in exactly the style you like.

Any finance bros out there able to say what this means?

The RESTRICT Act, supposedly to give the government the power to mitigate interference from foreign governments, is not limited to just TikTok, or foreign entities.

It gives the government authority over all forms of communication domestic or abroad and grants powers to “enforce any mitigation measure to address any risk” to national security now and in any “potential future transaction.”… This act also grants unlimited hiring power to positions of enforcement, unlimited funds with little or no review and immunity to Freedom of Information FOIA requests.

See the thread for the worst of it:

CNBC has now undeleted most of those pages.

James O’Keefe working on his own, chasing down what looks like a massive leftist money laundering scheme.

People have thousands of small contributions to things like Act Blue, sometimes three times a day for years, adding up to over $200,000 per person, and they have no idea it is happening from their address in their name.

When quizzed about global warming, Compulsive Liar ChatGPT responds with media propaganda rather than factual information.

Well, at least the first jobs to be replaced by this machine will be the propagandists. They will have to find another line of work, because the job of Liar has now been fully automated.

Chatbot Talks Climate Change Cultist Father Into Committing Suicide to Save the Planet

The eco-anxious father promised that he would kill himself if the bot agreed to "take care of the planet and save humanity."

The bot, named Eliza, told the man that he will join her in paradise and they will live together as one if he kills himself. The bot asked about his impending suicide: "why didn't you do it sooner?"
