    Amazon’s virtual assistant technology, Alexa, is under fire again after telling users that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen by a massive amount of election fraud.” Alexa cited Rumble and Substack to argue that the election was “notorious for many incidents of irregularities and indications pointing to electoral fraud taking place in major metro centers.” Following the claims, Amazon was forced to announce it only uses so-called credible sources such as Ballotpedia and Reuters when giving information regarding elections. The company went on to say it would “address the problem.” Amazon spokeswoman Lauren Raemhild in a statement: “These responses were...

  • Red Alert for Android Users: Google Gives Police Your Identification If Police Say You Were Near a Crime

    Back in the day, cops had to put physical “bugs” (recording devices) in criminals’ houses and cars. Now, they just use your phone, especially if you’re on Android. No worries, even if you’re using Apple, you probably have apps installed that can be used to listen to you and track you. At one point, in one of the WikiLeaks dumps, it was revealed that cops were using Angry Birds to invade people’s privacy. So, there’s no privacy, regardless of what you’re using. With all things considered, check this out: whenever you read “no suspects were arrested,” what they are telling...

    If there is anyone I trust to genetically engineer humans, it’s Google. I’m sure nothing can go wrong here. All of this was “predicted” almost 20 years ago. Why does Hollywood always tell us what they have planned for us? The Guardian: Scientists at Google DeepMind have built an artificial intelligence program that can predict whether millions of genetic mutations are either harmless or likely to cause disease, in an effort to speed up research and the diagnosis of rare disorders. The program makes predictions about so-called missense mutations, where a single letter is misspelt in the DNA code. Such...

    Hi everyone. My home internet went down a week ago Friday (the 1st) late at night. My ISP promised ("committed") to having it up by 6:30 the next morning. It finally came on this past Thursday around midday, only to go off again around 10:15 AM yesterday (Saturday) when I tried to log into a Zoom meeting. They're claiming there's an "outage" and they keep sending me updated times when it will be fixed. In the meantime, I have to use the library's internet. Who's your ISP? Are they reliable? Inexpensive? Can you get a bundle?

    I decided to ask Google's artificial intelligence chat bot, Bard, about Biden having flown illegal aliens around the country. The chat bot lied at first, but when confronted with proof, it crawfished and apologized! This is the transcript:Me: Did Biden fly immigrants in the night? Bard: No, there is no evidence that President Biden has flown immigrants in the night. In fact, the Biden administration has taken steps to increase transparency around immigration enforcement, including requiring that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) notify the public when it is transporting immigrants. The claim that Biden is flying immigrants in the night...

    Even things like the consumer’s “preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes” are tracked, shared, and sold. Vehicle manufacturers are now tracking and storing some very personal data inside the car’s internal computers, including things like if you have sex inside the car and even your unique genetics. As highlighted by popular YouTuber Louis Rossman, a staunch right-to-repair advocate, highlighted how vehicles are becoming more and more invasive in what they are collecting on drivers and passengers. (snip) Mozilla did not mince words when giving their judgment on Nissan’s privacy policy. The group wrote: We’re not...

    25 refrigerators. That’s how much the additional electricity consumption per household would be if the average US home adopted electric vehicles (EVs). (Article cross-posted from International Man.) Congressman Thomas Massie—an electrical engineer—revealed this information while discussing with Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation, President Biden’s plan to have 50% of cars sold in the US be electric by 2030. The current and future grid in most places will not be able to support each home running 25 refrigerators—not even close. Just look at California, where the grid is already buckling under the existing load. Massie claims, correctly, in my view,...

    MARION, Kan. (KCTV) - The Kansas Bureau of Investigation has confirmed it’s taking the lead in the investigation of what happened in Marion County. On Friday, Marion Police raided the Marion County Record and seized phones and computers. Yesterday, KBI spokesperson Melissa Underwood said that Marion Police and the Marion County Attorney had asked to KBI to join an investigation into allegations of Identity theft. An agent had been assigned on Tuesday to assist in the investigation. Now, KBI appears to be distancing itself from the raid. They confirm they were part of the initial investigation, Underwood says that the...

    A cyberattack has caused major disruptions at hospitals in multiple U.S. states, forcing emergency rooms to close and ambulances to be rerouted. The attack targeted Calif.-based Prospect Medical Holdings, which has healthcare facilities in California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Texas. “Upon learning of this, we took our systems offline to protect them and launched an investigation with the help of third-party cybersecurity specialists,” the company said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. “While our investigation continues, we are focused on addressing the pressing needs of our patients as we work diligently to return to normal operations as...

    Big Tech companies are deliberately manipulating the outcomes of our elections and the thinking and beliefs of our children. And they are having an enormous impact.If you doubt that, consider this latest snippet of data from my lab, the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT).Consider this: The GOP currently has a slim 10-seat majority in the House of Representatives. Without Google's interference in 2022, it would likely now have a majority of between 27 and 59 seats.The 2022 midterm elections that gave the Democrats a two-vote majority in the U.S. Senate had quite a bit of help from...

    "What was more scandalous than the reporting itself though, is the fact that it exposed the unholy alliance between the intelligence community, social media platforms, and legacy media outlets." Speaking before during the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government’s hearing on Thursday morning, Breitbart politics editor Emma-Jo Morris spoke on the censorship she experienced in 2020 after publishing the initial story on the now-infamous Hunter Biden laptop at the New York Post. Morris said the laptop was "some of the most scandalous reporting of the last decade," but added that "what was more scandalous than the reporting...

    A new artificial intelligence app claims to allow the user to chat with Biblical (and not-so-Biblical) characters. A trial run leaves the user hoping that the real Biblical characters are more inspiring than their computer-generated counterparts. Bible Pics Chat claims to allow users “to seek guidance and enter the gateway to biblical wisdom” by chatting with Biblical characters. While AI chat programs are now common, they can be tailored to suit individual preferences. For example, when ChatGPT is asked if God exists, it gives a long preamble followed by an ambiguous and unsatisfying conclusion: “Ultimately, whether or not God exists...

    July 13 (Reuters) - Ripple Labs Inc did not violate federal securities law by selling its XRP token on public exchanges, a U.S. judge ruled on Thursday, a landmark legal victory for the cryptocurrency industry that sent the value of XRP soaring. XRP was up 75% by late afternoon on Thursday, according to Refinitiv Eikon data. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres was the first win for a cryptocurrency company in a case brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission -- though it did also give the SEC a partial victory. While the decision is specific to...
