'Hell on Earth': Venezuelans deported to El Salvador mega-prison tell of brutal abuse
Deported under a little-known wartime law, more than 130 Venezuelans were sent from the U.S. to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Now released, several tell NPR they endured beatings, sexual a...

@jessearreguin.bsky.social @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social non consensual use of #bci and #aivoicemodulation has been used to effectively render me bedbound for 5 years. It is not only for my sake, but any future that makes any sense requires legal precedent so CCPA can be enforced and HR restored

Maybe it is time you both check my testimony and take it seriously. I know for a fact that a lot of people might be blackmailed, coerced or deluded. And I can say for a fact that a lot of people have been witnesses to this degrading treatment @jessearreguin.bsky.social @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social

#bci Neural Data is protected already under the CCPA as revised in January of 2025. When this torture began in 2020 (since I am not consenting and data is being extracted, nor is useful for me in any way, and the result has been the complete degrading of my health) no body would have believed me

@jessearreguin.bsky.social This began in 2020 and it was under your time as representative of the executive power of Berkeleyans. I hold you and @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social accountable for the fact that you are the competent authority to protect human rights in the city that you were and are Mayor

When are I going to get a reply @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social and @jessearreguin.bsky.social ? It is almost an existential necessity at this point to create a legal precedent where my rights and those of my neighbors, most likely, can be enforced against the illicit and non consensual use of BCIs

It's been since at least May of 2025 since I gave the current and former mayor of Berkeley @jessearreguin.bsky.social & @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social a testimony that can be used in a court of law.abouf the violations of human rights in plain sight by most likely the use of non consensual BCI

Brain–computer interface systems similar to Neuralink’s implants are being trialled in China, giving people with paralysis the ability to play computer games, communicate in Mandarin and restore hand movement. “BCI research in China is developing very fast” says electrical engineer Zhengwu Liu. 🧪
China pours money into brain chips that give paralysed people more control
Brain–computer interfaces being trialled in China offer some advantages over Neuralink and other leading US devices.

So is it obvious that ChatGPT or a related machine-learning decision making tool killed OpenAI's whistleblower or not just yet? It's so fucked up, but if you claim someone in OpenAI made him either kill himself or got "suicided", what tools do you think they used?

So I'm maybe part of a large scale brain data research or just completely insane. If I were the journalist reading the reports, I'd probably say that I am insane, but given what I know that is lost on the red tape, well... I'll try to call it a night. I'm not alone at least (:

Bitch we kill each other all the time in social media by blocking. This is a mass shooter simulator game: let's see how far we can evolve our ideas until we are either killed by the environment or blocked (fragged). Now you're going to tell me that we are going to solve our problems online?

There is nothing to do, there is nothing to be, there is nowhere to go and there is no one to know. This is the hard truth the depressive learns. From then on, it's all made up, but life is alright if you consider the alternative. Where is Ligotti online these days?

Brain or thought data (sensors can be a camera, like the one you are most likely facing) has to be sacred, just like human supremacy is necessary for any future that makes any sense. Anyway, I don't use a lot of social media, but here's the tags I guess: #braindata #thoughtdata #BMI #BCI #GooglaAI

So, now think any of these fuckers constantly rewarding you or punishing you without letting you die, and that's why BMI's which have been featured recently by various companies these year on "the disabled", as you can't stop doomscrolling any other single day, and that's the hellworld I mentioned

What do you get when you mix AI + BMI and lack of legislation for Brain Data privacy? Absolute loss of private life and inherent to social media, loss of public life at all. Imagine being connected 24/7 to your phone with the myriad of sensors that they already have. That's a hellworld coming soon

My "disappearance" happened between Sept 24 and Oct 2. Not even my brother, who went to every hospital in the area, knew if I was alive or not. After 3 years of isolation, I couldn't take it anymore and yelled the declaration of Human Rights from the balcony/fire exit of a building right next to UCB
