🤣🤣🤣 Posted a snapshot of a certain conversation about a certain foreign politician in a very public place & >24 hours later, the host post was deleted & a local newspaper in that country has wholly misrepresented what it actually says & used a doc from over a year later to support them.

Nice.

The Society for Neuroscience meeting starts tomorrow! I prepared some microscopy images for display at the convention center in San Diego. Let me know if you see one of my images around! 🤓 🔬 🧠

As it stands today, the richest man in the world is using one of the largest social media platforms in the world as a Nazi recruitment/brainwashing tool.

He has his tendrils in our government, sucking up public funds and turning around to buy our leaders.

It’s not tenable.

This is extremely dangerous.

If you’re a journalist, politician, artist, or public figure, or anyone with a platform, you need to stop using X.

You’re not helping by remaining on the platform. You can say you’re fighting where the people are, but you won’t beat the algorithm.

Lead people off X.
NEW on @indicator.media: A first *full-scale* comparison of Grokipedia v Wikipedia.

Last week the awesome @harold.bsky.social rocked up to my desk bearing gifts.

Hal had collected almost all 900K Grokipedia entries and compared them to their Wikipedia equivalents for text and citation similarity.
Grokipedia cites a Nazi forum and fringe conspiracy websites

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029585 & HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031567 in the Epstein docs are related conversations about a R in the Panama Papers that sold a painting to MBS in 2018, split by 4 mos apart in a discussion of money laundering & Trump.

Seems important.

Strange one from the Epstein docs. Photo #9 is a black & white photo of a 5 year old girl who had just given birth to a child via c-section. The father was never found.

Given the context of Epstein, I'm really not liking the vibes from this email at all.

Found this one in the Epstein docs & couldn't help but laugh. I don't know why scammers hitting a small country was something that I never considered the possibility of but apparently, it's a thing for them, too. Tuck this under the day the Maldives FM almost was scammed.

Ugh. That took a while. Lots of unknowns for me. Make sure to double check but this is what I got for Bannon's list from Epstein:

In the Epstein docs.

I've had my nose in the Epstein docs for too long. Feeling stiff, tired, and vaguely nauseous just by sheer exposure to how damn manipulative and weird the whole lot of people are in those docs. Seedy ass mofos.

Will say that the Chomsky exchanges were more refreshing. Purely on topic of language.

This conversation between Ruemmler & Epstein discussing Clinton is...uhhh...interesting.

In the Epstein docs. Youngest spotted last night. Quite bizarre. Some of the names are from his earlier years.
There's another list of names with some numbered thought flows below it that are interrupted with another list of names. It's very strange.

HBJ is Hamad bun Jasem. Found in the "I think Epstein went crazy" doc.

Evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers's email to Epstein is...gross.
"well-known man after well-known man is being brought low for alleged his misbehaviour toward women".

Wtf. Elisa New recommended "Lolita" and "My Antonia" to Jeffrey Fucking Epstein to help with someone named "Serena"?

Interesting one.

Miro would be Miro Lajcak as he had dinner with Epstein and possibly Bannon in March 2018 when protests were rocking Slovakia. A lot of names there though.

The Epstein documents are way, way more than just a piece of shit sex trafficker. Epstein was clearly using his connections & power to facilitate all sorts of things across global govts and was actively planning with Steve Bannon.

NIH Director Bhattacharya makes a damning admission, thinks it’s an own:

“Absent considerable intentional tinkering by the developers, any LLM trained using @wikipedia as an input will output nonsense biased against conservatives on any remotely controversial political topic.”

“Why would a prominent venture capitalist [Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] bristle at a pope calling for basic ethics? Because Pope Leo XIV may be the one authority on earth that Big Tech cannot control.” 1/
A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.

The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.

It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.
Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.
