This is quite literally why billionaires and politicians are all-in on AI. It's "The Entity" from the last two M:I movies: a way to control the very nature of truth. They (e.g. Thiel and Musk) want the truth to be whatever they say it is. That AI is good at making CSAM is an added bonus for them.
While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

Tailwind is entirely stupid. "Take everything you know about CSS and forget it! Use our new inline style syntax because… reasons!" The cascade is dead. The sheets are dead. It's just S! Why DRY when you can ARY instead? That anyone uses this nonsense in production is utter buffoonery. #webdev

Gee, I wonder why that could be. Could it be that our government and so many others are run by pedophiles? That brownshirts are violently assaulting citizens in blue states? That our well-being is entirely tied to the benevolent whims of malevolent billionaires? It's a mystery indeed.

I like how we're supposed to continue doing our various jobs and going about our usual business as though this country, other countries, and massive corporations aren't all run by wealthy pedophiles. If this were a movie they'd all be hanged by extremely angry mobs on live television. 🤷♀️

USPS truck showed up for the first time in ages. A box too big for my mailbox in hand, the lady started walking my sloping glacier of a front yard. I threw open a window and called out that she shouldn't walk it and could just slide the box. And she did! Right up to my front ice-ramp steps! #rvawx

Someone needs to check Elon's hard drives to find what other parties no one wants him at. Because it's not like the wealthy just magically stopped wanting to rape children when Epstein died. That perversion only stops in prison or the ground. There's a new Epstein Island out there somewhere.

If you remember this song or video from the early aughts, we should hang out. I was unaware of the (Flash!) video; like most people of Those Days, I found the song on some P2P system attributed to System of a Down. Thus, it ended up burned onto the tail end of one of their albums.

I dunno whomst needs to hear this, probably no one here in what's essentially a left-wing echo chamber, but the goal of conservatism is the regression of humanity and the concentration of wealth and power with and only with white men.

I tried to get ChatGPT to solve a piece of a word puzzle for me. Asked it for a word meaning "message-bearer of good tidings, sometimes" and that contained "allo" somewhere in it.
It suggested "alloherald" which is very much not a word.
The answer was "balloon". 😡

If there are no consequences brought for this shooting, that proves the administration is okay with what happened. ICE will then be operating post-consequence. No matter what they do, no matter the circumstance, it will be deemed justified. More citizens will die. I guarantee it.

If they'll lie to the country and the world despite there being multiple camera angles, imagine what's going on in the "detention centers" where oversight ceases to exist. Imagine what they're planning to do after they're done with immigrants.

Donald Trump is clearly operating as an agent of Putin. Let's assume it's true and ask a simple question: What else would he be doing but *exactly* this? Unrest and distrust at home. Distancing from allies and NATO. Granting himself increasing amounts of power because he knows no one will stop him.

I have a whole white oak's worth of wood stacked down my backyard, but for two years I've neglected to get a pro sweep to come check out and clean my chimney and teach me how to use it safely. This next week of arctic bullshit may be the first time I actually need it, and now it's too late. #rvawx

My guess is it implicates most top and/or wealthy government people and most billionaires — from this country and others.
Laws don't matter if they're not enforced, though, so we ain't ever seeing those files. Even this is just a class war, and we plebs aren't worthy of the truth.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
