Google “fundamentally started as a CIA project,” according to journalist and author of Propaganda in the Information Age, Alan MacLeod, who has warned that tech giants’ ties with intelligence agencies pose big problems for freedom of information as well as freedom of speech. MacLeod, who has extensively researched the ties between the national security state and Big Tech, explained to journalist Whitney Webb on the Unlimited Hangout podcast how a prior investigation by Dr. Nafeez Ahmed found that the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA) were “bankrolling” research by Sergey Brin at Stanford University, which “produced Google.” “Not only...

An artificial intelligence service called ChatGPT, developed by a company called OpenAI, will give you false information about the 1993 death of former President Bill Clinton's deputy White House counsel, Vincent Foster.

SCREENSHOTS AT LINK............... A newly uncovered calendar notation on the Biden Laptop indicates Hunter Biden joined his business partner Devon Archer in a meeting with his father in then Vice President Joe Biden’s West Wing office on April 16th, 2014, something the Bidens and Archers have always denied. And while there’s a special counsel looking into Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, this meeting constitutes malfeasance in office, an impeachable offense. Here’s a screenshot of the calendar I viewed after my friends at Marco Polo exported Hunter Biden’s daily calendar from the Laptop to me. The notation is “Meet Devon...

It’s not that an AI should be racist, gratuitously and immaturely offensive, or that it should be spouting out racial slurs at the drop of a hat. Rather, the clearly-manipulated nature of the AI’s thinking on this superficial topic is indicative of a bigger problem — the AI is not designed to think rationally, or to serve the person using it, but instead is shackled to short-term political priorities. All of this is distressingly predictable… so much so that it was predicted almost exactly several years prior…

I have a full-time job (which is now fully remote, yay) and am looking for more remote part-time work. What people are now calling "overemployed."Question: it seems to me that it's best to have a second phone line for business -- both for security/privacy purposes and just to keep personal and work lives separate. Do others of you do the same? I've looked into dual SIM, Tracfone, Mint Mobile, etc. Virtual phones (Google Voice) have their place but can't be used in every situation (i.e., some places/services will not accept a virtual phone for verification and apparently are able to...

Editor’s Note: If you had asked me yesterday if artificial intelligence could write an article in the style of a popular columnist and few if anyone could tell the difference, I would have said we’re probably a few years away from that dystopian circumstance. I would have been wrong. The article below by Frank Miele of Real Clear Politics is partially written by ChatGPT. Can you tell the man from the machine? The Brave New World of Artificial Intelligence As a journalist and commentator, I have closely followed the development of OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research lab founded by Elon...

Somewhere along the line, someone noticed that in software development, a few people are self-taught, and then suddenly they (erroneously) correlated software development with easy money. The truth is that it isn’t that easy.I’m not going to suggest that the field is overall something super difficult like Physical Chemistry, but it’s also not trivial to learn like my first job at McDonald’s. Though to be honest, getting those cone swirls right was for sure a pride point! I often see questions like, “how can I teach myself to code and have a full-time programmer job in 6 months.” I imagine...

The FBI invited the media for maximum public exposure when they searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence for classified documents last year, however news has just emerged that the bureau searched Biden’s former office for classified documents in November – and decided to keep the search a secret from the American people. Investigators from the FBI searched the office that Biden previously used at a DC think tank – days after his own lawyer identified classified material there, it was revealed Tuesday. The White House and the Justice Department did not disclose the search, which was reported by CBS News, despite the...

Besides Hamilton 68, three groups deserve condemnation for peddling the Russian-bots hoax: the media, corrupt politicians, and Twitter. The latest chapter of “The Twitter Files” broke on Friday, with the release of internal communications that provided a takedown of Hamilton 68, which wrongly purported to expose Russian disinformation on social media. The details released, however, prove equally devasting to the corrupt media, dishonest Democrats, and Twitter itself. Independent journalist Matt Taibbi’s most recent exposé provided more details of the internal angst at Twitter caused by Hamilton 68, which Taibbi described as “a computerized ‘dashboard’ designed to be used by reporters...

What’s a Fabricator? A fabricator is an intelligence agent/asset that generates disinformation by lies, deceptions, or by producing forged materials in order to substantiate their claims. A fabricator is often cited as a reliable source behind black propaganda. Multiple fabricators are usually used to justify a Big Lie. The Dashing and Debonair Jack Maxey By way of classification, Jack Maxey is a member of the class of establishment republicans who produced the Italian Job, the Absolute Proof, and a score of other election disinformation actors that were designed to derail any attempt to conduct a real election integrity investigation.

Google hates the truth. They always have. They’re in the business of narrative-building and the narrative they’re building regarding the recent Project Veritas bombshell is a lie: “Nothing to see here.” Here’s what Project Veritas noticed on Thursday: The results have since been “fixed,” quite literally. Most of the top listings for the phrase, “pfizer project veritas” show “fact check” websites claiming the video is “unverified” or corporate media news outlets calling the incident “alleged.” Others published a story, then retracted it later. In other words, they’re running the Hunter Biden laptop play on this one. It wouldn’t be shocking...

PICS AT LINK..................... Kathy Chung, Biden’s executive assistant for Joe Biden when he was vice president, was a close associate of Hunter Biden who gave him what a retired top general called a “treasure trove” of intelligence information that was ultimately leaked from his infamous laptop. Hunter Biden was so close to the “mystery woman,” whose profile images have been widely scrubbed from the Internet, that he recommended Chung to work for his father in the vice president’s office while she was working for former Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) in 2012. While Chung was in the vice president’s office, she...

Yuval Noah Harari, Klaus Schwab's lead advisor at the Word Economic Forum, has announced that human beings are no better than "viruses or bananas" and the WEF has now reached the point where they can "hack humanity."According to Harari, the idea that humans have free will is over, and for those who oppose, there will be no escaping what Harari refers to as the "Secret Police."The messaging coming out of the WEF is becoming increasingly sinister, with Klaus Schwab taking on the role of terrorist group leader, using communications channels to issue ultimatums to humanity. Do what I say, or...

A reporter indicated that he may sue Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., after internal documents at Twitter revealed the Democrat tried to get him banned from the platform. Elon Musk and journalist Matt Taibbi’s "Twitter Files" entry last week revealed that Schiff lobbied Twitter to suspend journalist Paul Sperry from the social media site in November 2020. Sperry, a senior reporter for RealClearInvestigations.com and a New York Post columnist, told Fox's Brian Kilmeade that he was targeted by Schiff because of his reporting on Democrat sources in President Donald Trump's first impeachment trial. "So, Schiff didn't like the fact I outed...

"A video game company called @LimitedRunGames fired @KaraLynne0326 because some nut job got offended over the fact that she follows me and @libsoftiktok." On Friday, the video game company Limited Run Games fired their community manager, a woman named Kara Lynn, after a far-left trans activist using the name Purple Tinker demanded the company either fire Lynn because she followed conservative users on Twitter such as Ian Miles Cheong and Libs of Tik Tok, or lose their support.
