#Tennessee removes its #black #US House district in #Memphis
#MAGA goons celebrate
"It's rigged why vote"
On the contrary people not #voting got us here as much as MAGA
Getting out of this means many things. But voting is a small effort compared to the other efforts so voices against voting are inauthentic or #troll #psyop
#Hungary had as bad or worse manipulations against #democracy, and look what Hungarians delivered
Are you angry? Do you want to fix this?

🚨Ω🚨
the gay epstein¹ and a team of israeli extremists² just showed up at mar-a-lago and presented america's narcissistically deranged, cognitively declining leader with an enormous golden idol of himself. this happened like less than 48 hours after the first reports that Trump is considering pulling the US military out of the iran war.also recall that a crew of zionist christians was on hand to very publicly bless the golden trump as soon as it was unveiled.
do you see what's going on here?

"‘No one has done this in the wild’: study observes #AI replicate itself"
I find this article to be sensationalistic, but I agree there is a reckoning coming
People conjure dramatic scenarios like the movies, but I feel if AI does fuck us up, it will be according to the most boring and mundane of ways
My particular terror is turning all of #socialMedia into a wasteland of exquisite mechanized #psyop for #politics
Until such time, unplugging the damn things can work

@roblosricos @eddeeMN @democratsabroad
when you #vote, you pick better or worse. if you show up consistently and sustain, you can build on that the next round until eventually you iterate to good
and it gets easier
when you don't vote, often because of #troll #psyop preying on #cynicism, you reward worse. if you continue to not vote, the next round it gets even worse, until you eventually iterate to outright #fascism
and it gets hard
that's it
that's the entirety of #voting in a nutshell

Same Law Firm Harpole Uses AGAINST Candace Employs Ben Shapiro’s Brother-in-Law & Is OWNED By Trump DOJ Insider — Project Constitution
#BigGovt #censorship #law #mindControl #propaganda #psyopBOMBSHELL: Same Law Firm Harpole Uses AGAINST Candace Employs Ben Shapiro’s Brother-in-Law & Is OWNED By Trump DOJ Insider!
The rabbit hole just got a lot deeper. If you were wondering why Brian Harpole’s lawsuit against Candace Owens felt like a coordinated strike, the legal “family tree” behind it tells the whole story.
1. The DOJ Connection: Brian Harpole’s lead attorney, Zachary Stoner, works for the Dhillon Law Group. The firm’s founder, Harmeet Dhillon, is currently serving as President Trump’s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the DOJ. While she is officially on leave from the firm, her influence is everywhere—especially as she advocates for stricter “Anti-Semitism” speech laws that many fear will be used to silence journalists like Candace.
2. The Daily Wire Connection: As Candace revealed tonight, this is the EXACT same law firm that represented The Daily Wire during their brutal, two-year arbitration battle against her. They know her, they’ve fought her before, and they are back for more.
3. The “In-Law” Bombshell: This is where it gets personal. Dhillon Law Group didn’t just stop at representing the Daily Wire—they also hired Jacob Roth (
@RothThePatriot). Who is he? An Orthodox Jewish attorney at Dhillon Law specializing in “civil rights.”
The Shapiro Tie: He is Ben Shapiro’s brother-in-law, married to Ben’s sister, Abby Shapiro (
It looks like a classic ATTACK BY PROXY.

IF WE DON'T FUCKING #VOTE

get some real #left #candidates
if you don't vote, shut the fuck up about our problems, you've abdicated your right to speak, since your true voice, your vote, you decided isn't perfect enough
nobody rational thinks that way
accounts shitting on the vote are either a #rightWing #psyop cosplaying left to suppress the left vote, or just a fucking idiot

So, last night there was a “shooter” at the #Washington #Hilton, where the US Press Corp were busy sucking the cocks of the #EpsteinClass and Rapist In Chief.
Now, I believe this as much as I believe the Penn shooter story, but I tend to assume if the mouths of anyone in this administration is moving, then they are lying.
But when the very first thing Donny and the Magats start screaming is “We have to build the billionaire bunker ballroom, right now or else.”, then boys and girls, what we have is a psyop.
An assassination attempt? Sure, Jan. (Edit, typo)

Chance of surviving Covid-19 by age and sex
__________
I remember similar figures from even earlier in 2020, I believe from a WHO analysis. These were the odds then and afterward. It was lethal hospital protocols, normal human stress responses to the panic, the banning of all treatments except in hospital, and then the mRNA vaxxes which caused the large ‘covid’ death and injury toll. Even if the vaxxes had worked, you can see that almost no one needed them, and definitely no one in the younger age groups. The entire plandemic was a totalitarian psyop to seize power and probably to kill, harm or render impotent large numbers of people. Historically, elites have frequently controlled their populations by limiting their access to healthy foods, by spying on them and killing those who might threaten them. It has ever been thus. ABN

The firehose of lies is the mission. The party of pedophiles, Bannon: "Our main work is cognitive warfare. Our propaganda is about disorientation; our opposition is the media, the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with lies & spinning on a daily basis"
The “firehose of falsehood” is a propaganda strategy defined by massive quantities of messages, pushed rapidly, across many channels, with no regard for truth or consistency. This disorients the public:
Information overload, people are flooded with so many claims that they cannot process or verify them. This creates confusion and mental fatigue. Because the trump lies are blatantly false people feel that nothing can be trusted. Research shows that citizens exposed to this tactic often conclude that truth is unknowable, which destroys the foundation for rational debate.
This leads to disengagement from news, politics and fact‑checking. Lies become familiar through repetition. This is a well‑documented psychological effect.

@mason @CatDragon @mistergibson
mason i got nothing but love for you
because that's my only message here:
consider joining me in shouting down the inevitable "but i don't get perfect, waah. nothing ever changes, waah. both sides the same, waah. so i won't vote, waah" coming up with the #midterms
it's coming
some of it will be sincere but clueless fuckwits
some of it will be #MAGA, geopolitical #trollfarm, and giggling #edgelord #psyop, cosplaying left to work over such fuckwits
-
exactly
the point of " #trump will cheat so what's the point of voting" is not to be insightful
it's to work you over with mindless #cynicism so that #MAGA wins the midterms because enough heeded that cowardice
that's on YOU if you fall for that scam
the voices you hear saying that?
they're outright #troll #psyop from the right
laughing because it's so easy to immobilize you
or spineless turds falling for easy lies, not real leftists

"Imagine. To peer across the world and know the enemy's secrets. To place our thoughts into the minds of your leaders. Make your teachers teach the true version of history, your soldiers attack on our command. We'll be everywhere at once, more powerful than a whisper, invading your dreams, thinking your thoughts for you while you sleep. We will change you… all of you, from the inside. We will turn you into us. And the best part? You won't even know it's happening"
-
and for those who might be confused, voting is a valid vocabulary of #resistance
even if you've given up on voting, from a strictly tactical/ strategic point of view, using a vote to sabotage/ vandalize the enemy's agenda works
also:
those voices providing learned helplessness narratives to not vote are agent provocateurs
not voting is what the fascist plutocrat bigot enemy wants from you
so "don't vote" voices are the enemy, cosplaying as on your side. a #psyop

I don't care about the band "Geese"
They achieved fame and money with an #algorithm manipulating "narrative" campaign via fake accounts
This is what I care about:

Think
If so much effort goes into promoting an indie band, how much effort goes into convincing you not to #vote?

Is Trump mind-controlled or trolling?
__________
It’s possible Trump has lost his mind, is being psychologically mind-controlled, or is being mind-controlled through drugs or targeted energy weapons. It’s also possible he is doing controlled trolling on his own. Trump has criticized the Pope and the Pope has criticized him for posting the picture above. My uneducated guess is Trump has been drugged and/or targeted by some kind of energy weapon. His enemies may even know a wavelength that is tailored to work especially well on him by locking him into a trance subservient to them while also making him look crazy. That combination gives his enemies everything they want (WAR) while causing the world to blame Trump more than them. ABN

now the question is if in the future the rot continues to extend further down, if MAGA grows

and #vote!
you not voting is part of the rot, just as much as MAGA
all your reasons not to vote are fakery, some of it fed to you as a #troll #psyop on #socialMedia. don't buy the lying #cosplay shit

These guys had one good experience with the bot, they got one-shotted, and now if you say “perhaps the bot is not all that” they act like you’re trying to take their cocaine away.”
First, the term is falsifiable, and proving propositions about algorithms (i.e., code) is part of what I do for a living. Mathematically human-written code and AI-written code can be tested, which means you can falsify propositions about them. You would test them the same way.
There is no intrinsic mathematical distinction between code written by a person and code produced by an AI system. In both cases, the result is a formal program made of logic and structure. In principle, the same testing techniques can be applied to each. If it were really nondisprovable, you could not test to see what is generated by a human and what is generated by AI. But you can test it. Studies have found that AI-generated code tends to exhibit a higher frequency of certain types of defects. So, reviewers and testers know what logic flaws and security weaknesses to look for. This would not be the case if it were nondisprovable.
You can study this from datasets where the source of the code is known. You can use open-source pull requests identified as AI-assisted versus those written without such tools. You then evaluate both groups using the same industry-standard analysis tools: static analyzers, complexity metrics, security scanners, and defect classification systems. These tools flag bugs, vulnerabilities, performance issues, and maintainability concerns. They do so in a consistent way across samples.
A widely cited analysis of 470 real pull requests reported that AI-generated contributions contained roughly 1.7 times as many issues on average as human-written ones. The difference included a higher number of critical and major defects. It also included more logic and security-related problems. Because these findings rely on standard measurement tools — counting defects, grading severity, and comparing issue rates — the results are grounded in observable data. Again, I am making a point here. It’s testable and therefore disproveable.
This is a good paper that goes into it:
In this paper, we present a large-scale comparison of code authored by human developers and three state-of-the-art LLMs, i.e., ChatGPT, DeepSeek-Coder, and Qwen-Coder, on multiple dimensions of software quality: code defects, security vulnerabilities, and structural complexity. Our evaluation spans over 500k code samples in two widely used languages, Python and Java, classifying defects via Orthogonal Defect Classification and security vulnerabilities using the Common Weakness Enumeration. We find that AI-generated code is generally simpler and more repetitive, yet more prone to unused constructs and hardcoded debugging, while human-written code exhibits greater structural complexity and a higher concentration of maintainability issues. Notably, AI-generated code also contains more high-risk security vulnerabilities. These findings highlight the distinct defect profiles of AI- and human-authored code and underscore the need for specialized quality assurance practices in AI-assisted programming.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.21634
Something I’ve started to notice about a lot of the content on social media platforms is that most of the posts people are liking, sharing, and memetically mutating—and then spreading virally—usually don’t include any citations, sources, or receipts. It’s often just some out-of-context screenshot with no reference link or actual sources.
A lot of the anti-AI content is not genuine critique. It’s often misinformation, but people who hate AI don’t question it or ask for sources because it aligns with their biases. The propaganda on social media has gotten so bad that anything other than heavily curated and vetted feeds is pretty much useless, and it’s filled with all sorts of memetic contagions with nasty hooks that are optimized for you algorithmically. I am at the point where I will disregard anything that is not followed up with a source. Period. It is all optimized to persuade, coerce, or piss you off. I am only writing about this because this I’m actually able to contribute genuine information about the topic.
That they said symbolic propositions written by AI agents (i.e., code) are non-disprovable because they were written by AI boggles my mind. It’s like saying that an article written in English by AI is not English because AI generated it. It might be a bad piece of text, but it’s syntactically, semantically, and grammatically English.
Basically, any string of data can be represented in a base-2 system, where it can be interpreted as bits (0s and 1s). Those bits can be used as the basis for symbolic reasoning. In formal propositional logic, a proposition is a sequence of symbols constructed according to strict syntax rules (atomic variables plus logical connectives). Under a given semantics, it is assigned exactly one truth value (true or false) in a two-valued logic system.
They are essentially saying that code written by AI is not binary, isn’t symbolically logical at all, and cannot be evaluated as true or false by implying it is nondisproveable. At the lowest level, compiled code consists of binary machine instructions that a processor executes. At higher levels, source code is written in symbolic syntax that humans and tools use to express logic and structure. You can also translate parts of code into formal logic expressions. For example, conditions and assertions in a program can be modeled as Boolean formulas. Tools like SAT/SMT solvers or symbolic execution engines check those formulas for satisfiability or correctness. It blows my mind how confidently people talk about things they do not understand.
Furthermore that they don’t realize the projection is wild to me.

They are presenting a story—i.e., saying that the studies are not disprovable—and accusing computer scientists of using anecdotal evidence without actually providing evidence to support this, while expecting people to take it prima facie. You’re doing what you are accusing others of doing.
It comes down to this: they feel that people ought not to use AI, so they are tacitly committed to a future in which people do not use AI. For example, a major argument against AI is the damage it is doing to resources, which is driving up the prices of computer components, as well as the ecological harm it causes. They feel justified in lying and misinforming others if it achieves the outcome they want—people not using AI because it is bad for the environment. That is a very strong point, but most people don’t care about that, which is why they lie about things people would care about.It’s corrupt. And what’s really scary is that people don’t recognize when they are part of corruption or a corrupt conspiracy to misinform. Well, they recognize it when they see the other side doing it, that is. No one is more dangerous than people who feel righteous in what they are doing.

In principle, the same testing techniques can be applied to each. If it were really nondisprovable, you could not test to see what is generated by a human and what is generated by AI. But you can test it. Studies have found that AI-generated code tends to exhibit a higher frequency of certain types of defects. So, reviewers and testers know what logic flaws and security weaknesses to look for. This would not be the case if it were nondisprovable.
You can study this from datasets where the source of the code is known. You can use open-source pull requests identified as AI-assisted versus those written without such tools. You then evaluate both groups using the same industry-standard analysis tools: static analyzers, complexity metrics, security scanners, and defect classification systems. These tools flag bugs, vulnerabilities, performance issues, and maintainability concerns. They do so in a consistent way across samples.
A widely cited analysis of 470 real pull requests reported that AI-generated contributions contained roughly 1.7 times as many issues on average as human-written ones. The difference included a higher number of critical and major defects. It also included more logic and security-related problems. Because these findings rely on standard measurement tools — counting defects, grading severity, and comparing issue rates — the results are grounded in observable data. Again, I am making a point here. It’s testable and therefore disproveable.
This is a good paper that goes into it:
In this paper, we present a large-scale comparison of code authored by human developers and three state-of-the-art LLMs, i.e., ChatGPT, DeepSeek-Coder, and Qwen-Coder, on multiple dimensions of software quality: code defects, security vulnerabilities, and structural complexity. Our evaluation spans over 500k code samples in two widely used languages, Python and Java, classifying defects via Orthogonal Defect Classification and security vulnerabilities using the Common Weakness Enumeration. We find that AI-generated code is generally simpler and more repetitive, yet more prone to unused constructs and hardcoded debugging, while human-written code exhibits greater structural complexity and a higher concentration of maintainability issues. Notably, AI-generated code also contains more high-risk security vulnerabilities. These findings highlight the distinct defect profiles of AI- and human-authored code and underscore the need for specialized quality assurance practices in AI-assisted programming.

The big problem in discussions about AI in programming is the either-or thinking, when it’s not about using it everywhere or banning it entirely. Tools like AI have specific strengths and weaknesses. Saying ‘never’ or ‘always’ oversimplifies the issue and turns the narrative into propaganda that creates moral panic or shills AI. It’s a bit like saying you shouldn’t use a hammer just because it’s not good for brushing your teeth.
AI tends to produce code that’s simple, often a bit repetitive, and very verbose. It’s usually pretty easy to read and tweak. This helps with long-term maintenance. But AI doesn’t reason about code the way an experienced developer does. It makes mistakes that a human wouldn’t, potentially introducing security flaws. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use for where it works well, which is not everywhere.
AI works well for certain tasks, especially when the scope is narrow and the risk is low. Examples include generating boilerplate code, internal utilities, or prototypes. In these cases, the tradeoff is manageable. However, it’s not suitable for critical code like kernels, operating systems, compilers, or cryptographic libraries. A small mistake memory safety or privilege separation can lead to major failures. Problems with synchronization, pointer management, or access control can cause major problems, too.
Other areas where AI should not be used include memory allocation handling, scheduling, process isolation, or device drivers. A lot of that depends on implicit assumptions in the system’s architecture. Generative models don’t grasp these nuances. Instead of carefully considering the design, AI tends to replicate code patterns that seem statistically likely, doing so without understanding the purpose behind them.
Yes, I’m aware that Microsoft is using AI to write code everywhere I said it should not be used. That is the problem. However, political pundits, lobbyists, and anti-tech talking heads are discussing something they have no understanding of and aren’t specifying what the problem actually is. This means they can’t possibly lead grassroots initiatives into actual laws that specify where AI should not be used, which is why we have this weird astroturfing bullshit.
They’re taking advantage of the reaction to Microsoft using AI-generated code where it shouldn’t be used to argue that AI shouldn’t be used anywhere at all in any generative context. AI is useful for tasks like writing documentation, generating tests, suggesting code improvements, or brainstorming alternative approaches. These ideas should then be thoroughly vetted by human developers.
Something I’ve started to notice about a lot of the content on social media platforms is that most of the posts people are liking, sharing, and memetically mutating—and then spreading virally—usually don’t include any citations, sources, or receipts. It’s often just some out-of-context screenshot with no reference link or actual sources.
A lot of the anti-AI content is not genuine critique. It’s often misinformation, but people who hate AI don’t question it or ask for sources because it aligns with their biases. The propaganda on social media has gotten so bad that anything other than heavily curated and vetted feeds is pretty much useless, and it’s filled with all sorts of memetic contagions with nasty hooks that are optimized for you algorithmically. I am at the point where I will disregard anything that is not followed up with a source. Period. It is all optimized to persuade, coerce, or piss you off. I am only writing about this because this I’m actually able to contribute genuine information about the topic.
That they said symbolic propositions written by AI agents (i.e., code) are non-disprovable because they were written by AI boggles my mind. It’s like saying that an article written in English by AI is not English because AI generated it. It might be a bad piece of text, but it’s syntactically, semantically, and grammatically English.
Basically, any string of data can be represented in a base-2 system, where it can be interpreted as bits (0s and 1s). Those bits can be used as the basis for symbolic reasoning. In formal propositional logic, a proposition is a sequence of symbols constructed according to strict syntax rules (atomic variables plus logical connectives). Under a given semantics, it is assigned exactly one truth value (true or false) in a two-valued logic system.
They are essentially saying that code written by AI is not binary, isn’t symbolically logical at all, and cannot be evaluated as true or false by implying it is nondisproveable. At the lowest level, compiled code consists of binary machine instructions that a processor executes. At higher levels, source code is written in symbolic syntax that humans and tools use to express logic and structure. You can also translate parts of code into formal logic expressions. For example, conditions and assertions in a program can be modeled as Boolean formulas. Tools like SAT/SMT solvers or symbolic execution engines check those formulas for satisfiability or correctness. It blows my mind how confidently people talk about things they do not understand.
Furthermore that they don’t realize the projection is wild to me.

They are presenting a story—i.e., saying that the studies are not disprovable—and accusing computer scientists of using anecdotal evidence without actually providing evidence to support this, while expecting people to take it prima facie. You’re doing what you are accusing others of doing.
It comes down to this: they feel that people ought not to use AI, so they are tacitly committed to a future in which people do not use AI. For example, a major argument against AI is the damage it is doing to resources, which is driving up the prices of computer components, as well as the ecological harm it causes. They feel justified in lying and misinforming others if it achieves the outcome they want—people not using AI because it is bad for the environment. That is a very strong point, but most people don’t care about that, which is why they lie about things people would care about.
It’s corrupt. And what’s really scary is that people don’t recognize when they are part of corruption or a corrupt conspiracy to misinform. Well, they recognize it when they see the other side doing it, that is. No one is more dangerous than people who feel righteous in what they are doing.
It’s wild to me that the idea that if you cannot persuade someone, it is okay to bully, coerce, harass them, or spread misinformation to get what you want—because your side is right—has become so normalized on the Internet that people can’t see why it is problematic.
That people think it is okay to hurt others to get them to agree is the most disturbing part of all of this. People have become so hateful. That is a large reason why I don’t interact with people on social media, really consume things from social media, or respond on social media and am writing a blog post about it instead of engaging with who prompted it.
