Grok admits it and its AI counterparts have a net negative impact, “making me bad for the environment.” It projects “total AI-attributable deaths reaching 400-800 million over the next century if emissions and resource use continue unchecked.” 🧵

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

There is nothing conservative about the conservative movement.

It is an astroturf effort by powerful business interests to preserve their own power. It treats the Constitution like video game testers treat an open beta—looking for exploits to circumvent democracy

This morning, russia struck the Kupiansk community.

In the village of Kivsharivka, a 9-story residential building caught fire as a result of the shelling.
Rescuers extinguished the fire, risking their lives due to the threat of double tap.

Fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today.

The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office.

That's traumatizing.

Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.
