👁 Stop AI: Dissenters who speak against AI giants are being SILENCED
US-based "non-violent civil resistance organization" Stop AI has urged Washington to investigate the mysterious death of ex-OpenAI employee Suchir Balaji
🔴 Balaji, 26, accused the company of copyright violations in an October 2024 NYT article
🔴 He was discovered dead in his apartment in San Francisco on November 26 with medical examiner determining his death to be suicide
🔴 Stop AI believes Balaji was killed in order to prevent him from telling the truth
🔴 They cite ethical concerns about AI giants seeking to create a "superintelligent" artificial intelligence
What does Stop AI stand for?
🔴 It warns that artificial intelligence development is heading toward catastrophe, comparable to a nuclear disaster
🔴 It has staged six protests since April 2024 and plans another on February 22 in California, home to Silicon Valley giants
🔴 Developing AI smarter than humans will lead to mass job loss and, ultimately, human extinction, it claims
🔴 It claims there is a 50% chance of AI attempting to take over within 5–20 years which would mean "lights out for all of us"
🔴 Stop AI believes Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could emerge as early as 2025, rendering humanity obsolete
🔴 It argues that the Trump administration’s $500 billion Stargate Project will accelerate AGI’s arrival
What does Stop AI call on the US government to do?
🤔Permanently ban AGI development
🤔Shut down any company working on general-purpose AI exceeding OpenAI’s GPT-4
🤔Disband firms dedicated to general-purpose AI
🤔Establish a federal agency to protect Americans from AI threats
🤔Ban AI in mass surveillance and censorship

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,

Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
