>Is Q military Artificial Intelligence?
No, Artificial Intelligence is a meme. It's not real. Fearporn from tptb to bilk more money out of taxpayers. The private sector is way ahead of military by eons. Military often has to work with far outdated technology and is severely debilitaed when it comes to technological resources.
Now, the use of if/else/elif logic tunnels for a predictive-outcome based probability indicator is likely but nothing is actually making the decisions or doing any form of "thinking" by way of technology and likely never will, but is at least 100 years away and not worth considering.
AI is a meme. Sorry but there is no majick aside from abracadabra. Memes are the magic (srs) it's US that brought down this beast in conjunction with some really smart .govanons and devine intervention.

Big Brother UK: Met Police Chief Calls for Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition to Monitor Citizens
The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is arguing for increased surveillance measures in the United Kingdom, including facial recognition, to combat crime and terrorism, however, critics fear the increased capabilities will negatively impact civil liberties.
Dame Cressida Dick, the nation's top law enforcement officer, shot back at critics of the new facial recognition system implemented by the MPS as "ill-informed", arguing that the use of facial recognition systems are a price worth paying to ensure the safety of the public, saying that it is preferable to "a knife through the chest".
"It is for critics to justify to the victims of those crimes why police should not use tech lawfully and proportionally to catch criminals who caused the victims real harm. It is not for me and the police to decide where the boundary lies between security and privacy, though I do think it is right for us to contribute to the debate," Cressida Dick said per The Times.
"In an age of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, concern about my image and that of my fellow law-abiding citizens passing through LFR (live facial recognition) and not being stored, feels much, much, much smaller than my and the public's vital expectation to be kept safe from a knife through the chest," Dick added.
Last week, the Metropolitan Police began using facial recognition cameras in Westminster, running on NeoFace, a system that creates a list of suspected criminals and scans the faces of pedestrians for possible matches, notifying the police in the area if there is a match. The police say that faces are only stored for 31 days unless a person is arrested.
The commissioner also called for new legislation to allow police to use Artificial Intelligence including speech analytic software, translation technology for officers to be able to handle the numerous languages spoken in London and "virtual and augmented reality" to assist officers in the field, reports the Evening Standard.
In response to the introduction of facial recognition, the civil liberties group, Big Brother Watch (BBW) called for the "undemocratic expansion of the surveillance state" to be reversed.
"It's alarming to see biometric mass surveillance being rolled out in London. Never before have citizens been subjected to identity checks without suspicion, let alone on a mass scale," the group said in a statement.
"All the evidence shows this tech makes us less free and no safer. The 93% misidentification rate poses a serious threat to innocent members of the public. The cost to our liberties, let alone the public purse, is unacceptably high. We're appalled that city mayor Sadiq Khan has approved such useless, dangerous & authoritarian surveillance for London," Big Brother Watch added.
The use of facial recognition systems has become widespread in communist China, which has installed over 200 million surveillance cameras across the country as a part of its so-called 'Skynet' system. In November, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced that mobile phone providers will be required to implement facial scans of users, in order to further increase control on its already heavily policed internet.

Pentagon's new rules for autonomous weapons, combat AI called 'ethics-washing project
By Ben Wolfgang and Mike Glenn - The Washington Times - Monday, February 24, 2020
The Pentagon on Monday rolled out a sweeping set of ethical guidelines to govern the use of Artificial Intelligence on the battlefield, marking a major step forward in the military's campaign to establish firm controls over 21st-century technology and ensure that humans retain control over machines.
The principles, developed after 15 months of consultation with top technology industry leaders, call for the responsible use of all AI, concrete rules to trace the implementation of all systems and how they behave, and a blanket policy that says a human monitor can at all times override the AI technology. Military officials also said they will try to ensure that all AI capabilities do not develop or show "unintended bias" in how they behave or in whom they target, and the Pentagon stressed that AI will be employed only in a given situation after an explicit, well-defined purpose has been laid out and is thoroughly understood by all involved.
The effort dramatically demonstrates how machine learning and vast data-crunching technologies are changing the face of modern warfare and posing ethical problems that could scarcely have been conceived just a generation ago.
Drones, autonomous tanks and planes, missile systems that can track incoming fire with little to no human involvement and other Artificial Intelligence will revolutionize warfare and slowly erase the lines between humans and technology on the battlefield, military strategists say.
Technology leaders in Silicon Valley, ethicists and a host of other critics warn that the military is running the risk of implementing unproven technology before writing a rulebook to govern it. The Defense Department has struggled to quell those concerns while beefing up its AI development, which already includes research centers across the country and a push on Capitol Hill for more money to fund projects.
The effort has gained urgency as rivals such as China make Artificial Intelligence a centerpiece of their economic and military strategies in the decades to come.
In developing the guidelines, Pentagon officials cast their mission as a broad responsibility to set the tone and lead the world on responsible use of AI.
"AI technology will change much about the battlefield of the future, but nothing will change America's steadfast commitment to responsible and lawful behavior," said Defense Secretary Mark Esper. "The adoption of AI ethical principles will enhance the department's commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards as outlined in the DoDAI Strategy, while embracing the U.S. military's strong history of applying rigorous testing and fielding standards for technology innovations."

President Donald J. Trump's Unwavering Commitment To American Workers And Their Families
February 4, 2020
Strong and loving families build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, invigorate our cities, pass down our values, and make a brighter future for every citizen.
President Donald J. Trump
PROMOTING OPPORTUNITY FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES: American workers and families are at the forefront of the Trump Administration's pro-growth economic agenda.
President Trump is working to provide American workers with the tools and opportunities to win in today's economy and the economy of the future.
President Trump is implementing policies that will help working families across the country prosper.
The success of American workers and their families is essential to our shared national prosperity.
STRENGTHENING AMERICA'S WORKERS: President Trump is dedicated to equipping American workers with the education and training they need to excel in in-demand and family-sustaining careers.
President Trump is calling on Congress to support his plan to provide vocational training at every single high school in America.
The President is encouraging private-sector investments with his Pledge to America's Workers, prompting more than 400 companies to pledge jobs and educational opportunities for nearly 15 million American workers.
This includes training in cutting-edge areas like Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and secure 5G so workers are able to thrive in the jobs of tomorrow.
The President released common sense occupational licensing reform principles calling on State and local leaders to improve the economic mobility of American workers.
Thanks to the President's strong commitment, Americans are coming off the sidelines and thriving in today's booming economy.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, a record 74.2 percent of workers entering employment came from outside of the labor force, rather than from unemployment.
SUPPORTING WORKING FAMILIES: President Trump is advocating for policies that will benefit American working families.
The President is urging Congress to pass legislation that will expand paid parental leave to every working American mother and father.
President Trump's call to action follows his signing of legislation late last year that enacted 12 weeks of paid parental leave for Federal employees.
The President created the first paid family leave tax credit for employers who offer paid leave to their employees making $72,000 or less, helping those least likely to receive the benefit.
The President signed the largest-ever increase in Child Care Development Block Grants - expanding access to quality, affordable child care for more than 800,000 low-income families.
President Trump's historic tax cuts expanded the Child Tax Credit, providing a boost to families across the country.
40 million American families are benefiting from the expanded Child Tax Credit, with each family seeing an average of $2,200 more in their pockets as a result.

Perhaps this has been dug before?
Melania Pronunciation: meh-LAH-ny?
Derived from the Greek Melaina, which is from the root melas (black, dark). The name was made popular through its association with two 5th-century Roman saints, a grandmother and granddaughter remembered for their piety and good works for the poor.
[darker] = black, dark = Melania?
I recall a story from an anon pondering if Melania was perhaps a trafficked model, taken from that lifestyle by DJT. Hence why he's VERY anti-trafficking. If she was trafficked, I bet she have firsthand knowledge of some names that participated.
Melania Germanised her name from "Melanija Knavs" to "Melania Knauss" as part of her modeling career.
The meaning [of Knauss] is very unclear but may mean "haughty person." Other suggested sources have included a sharp strike (hit), a beard, the crust of a loaf of *bread* (KEK bread), or a small hill.
Born in Novo Mesto; grew up in Sevnica (KEK pronounciation almost sounds like foreigner speak for Seventeen (17=Q))
Her modeling career was associated with Irene Marie Models and Trump Model Management. Her Agent was Paolo Zampolli with ID Models.
I did a small dig on Irene Marie and coulndn't find anything that stood out to me. Needs more eyes perhaps?
Paolo Zampolli went on to form a partnership with the Trump Organization as Director of International Development after he divested from ID Models (his agency) and his fashion businesses.
Paolo claims to have been the one to introduce Melania and Donald to one another.

Zampolli is currently developing World Artificial Intelligence Organization (WAIO http://www.waio.ai/), an initiative with the goal to build strong partnerships between the technology leaders from the private sector, academic institutions, scientists, member states, international organizations, and UN Agencies.

"the US is playing a mostly offensive game on a global field."
"countries do not merely build tunnels. Rather, they build sometimes vast underground facilities under mega cities"
"Maj. Haley Mercer of the US 82nd Airborne Division told the conference that the American military's doctrine in 2017 shifted from specializing in counterinsurgency warfare to focusing on specializing in subterranean warfare."
"the US is pivoting to using electronic warfare, Artificial Intelligence and cyber capabilities to use deception and narrative control to confront US adversaries to help shape the "battlefield" in any terrain, before any shots are even fired"

They monitor thought patterns and emotional behaviors and search for weaknesses within the human host body so they can aggressively use that weakness against the person to plummet them into very low frequency thoughts of the Predator Mind. See the Houses of Ego. When a person has weak spiritual-energetic development, weak moral character along with a weak mind, this makes it much easier for the AI parasite to control the human being and prepare the body for dark force or Imposter Spirit Possession.

Sources say the list will closely follow an October report from a defense advisory board.
The Defense Department will soon adopt a detailed set of rules to govern how it develops and uses Artificial Intelligence, officials familiar with the matter told Defense One.
A draft of the rules was released by the Defense Innovation Board, or DIB, in October as "Recommendations on the Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence." Sources indicated that the Department's policy will follow the draft closely.
"The Department of Defense is in the final stages of adopting AI principles that will be implemented across the U.S. military. An announcement will be made soon with further details," said Lt. Cmdr. Arlo Abrahamson, a spokesman for the Pentagon's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center.
The draft recommendations emphasized human control of AI systems. "Human beings should exercise appropriate levels of judgment and remain responsible for the development, deployment, use, and outcomes

Could be nothing. But I found something that could possibly be related to the "when does a bird sing?" Q riddle.
In this 2018 article: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/voice-assistants-hacked-adverserial-attack-birds-chirping-alexa/
"Hackers use sounds of a bird chirping to hack into google According to the researchers, the manipulated audio files are part of what is called an "adversarial attack," which is designed to confuse the deep neural networks that help Artificial Intelligence-powered assistants like Apple's Siri, Google's Assistant, and Amazon's Alexa function.
Using the sound of birds chirping - or edited versions of songs or human speech - manipulated in a way that only the microphone on your smart speaker or smartphone can pick up, the attack bypasses detection from human ears and begins meddling with the A.I. assistant. What sounds like a bird's song could actually be one of these attacks with hidden commands being delivered to your voice assistant of choice."
Could the patriots have used this technique to gather evidence leading them to Allison Mack, etc…?

Q Research General #10456: Obama Says He Built the MAGA Economy Edition
How Amazon Convinced Millions of People to Welcome "Listening Devices" Into Their Homes
Whether it's being told to turn on the lights or asked a health question, the voice known as Alexa has embedded Amazon's technology deep in the lives of hundreds of millions of people since the company first launched its interactive Echo smart speaker in 2014.
From the start, Amazon has marketed Alexa as a virtual assistant who helps make navigating daily life easier, more efficient and entertaining for people and families.
But as the new FRONTLINE documentary Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos reports, the multi-billion-dollar company's increasingly ubiquitous Alexa technology - which is now compatible with more than 100,000 products - doesn't just serve the customer. It also serves a key strategic objective for Amazon itself.
"Alexa is one more way for Amazon to gather extremely valuable data," Meredith Whittaker, co-director of the A.I. Now Institute at NYU, tells FRONTLINE in the above excerpt. "And this data collection is extremely important to this business model. It's extremely hard to do ... convincing people to just deploy something like this in their home is- it's a brilliant trick."
It's one that's helping Amazon in a quest to dominate the future - not just of commerce, but also Artificial Intelligence.
"They're trying to move as intimately as possible and as quietly as possible into everyday life," Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, says in the film. "Amazon wants to have the entire environment, essentially miked... All these intimacies, all this insight is being integrated, analyzed and integrated. That is an extraordinary kind of power that has never before existed."
In the film, airing Feb. 18, producer and director James Jacoby presses Amazon's head of devices, Dave Limp, on whether the company did a good enough job telling customers about Alexa's privacy implications - including the revelation last year that Amazon employs thousands of people around the world to listen to and transcribe some voice recordings in an attempt to improve the Alexa algorithm.

EU industry chief tells Facebook to adapt to EU, not other way round
EU industry commissioner Thierry Breton said on Monday it was for Facebook to adapt to Europe's standards, not the other way round, as he criticized the U.S. social media giant's proposed internet rules as insufficient. The blunt comments came after a short meeting with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and two days before Breton is due to present the first of a raft of rules to rein in U.S. tech giants and state-aided Chinese companies.
"It's not for us to adapt to this company, it's for this company to adapt to us," Breton, a former CEO at French telecoms provider Orange and French technology company Atos, told reporters after the meeting.
Zuckerberg had earlier told reporters he had a good, wide-ranging conversation with Breton.
Breton also said he would decide by the end of the year whether to adopt tough rules as part of the digital services act to regulate online platforms and set out their responsibilities.
He dismissed a discussion paper issued by Facebook on Monday that rejects what it calls intrusive regulations and suggests looser rules whereby companies would periodicially report content and publish enforcement data.
"It's not enough," Breton said, adding that Facebook had omitted any mention of its market dominance and also failed to spell out its responsibilities. EU justice chief Vera Jourova, who also met Zuckerberg, was equally adamant on Facebook's role in the fight against online hate speech, disinformation and election manipulation.
"Facebook cannot push away all the responsibility. Facebook and Mr Zuckerberg have to answer themselves a question 'who do they want to be' as a company and what values they want to promote," she said in a statement.
"It will not be up to governments or regulators to ensure that Facebook wants to be a force of good or bad."
Breton will announce proposals on Wednesday aimed at exploiting the EU's trove of industrial data and challenging the dominance of Facebook, Google and Amazon. It will announce rules to govern the use of Artificial Intelligence too, which will also affect companies such as Facebook.

Q Research General #10447: A Day At the Race Edition
Chinese companies have outpaced their US rivals in the tech patents race, filing more applications in 9 of 10 categories, including Artificial Intelligence and blockchain, a recent Nikkei study shows.
China became the leader in 2017, accounting for 49 percent of total applications. Apart from AI and blockchain, it enjoyed advantages in patent applications for drones, cyber security, virtual reality, autonomous driving, lithium-ion batteries, and regenerative medicine.
The only sphere in which China is still trying to catch up to the US is the strategically important quantum computing. However, the report analyzed patents filed from 2000 to 2017, and China has already launched what it calls a "megaproject" for quantum research, aiming to achieve significant breakthroughs by 2030.
The driving force behind China's push for global hegemony in advanced technology are four companies known as 'BATH' - Baidu, Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Huawei. Chinese tech major Huawei has been targeted and banned by the US, which is pushing its allies to ban the firm over spying allegations.
The report says US companies still dominate in terms of quality - among the 100 innovators that made it into the top 10 of all categories, 64 are American and only one is Chinese.
However, the situation could change dramatically over the next decade. China has the world's second-largest science and technology budget, amounting to $460 billion in 2017. If it continues to boost expenditures at the same pace, it could eventually dethrone the US, which poured more than $500 billion into the field in 2017, according to the study.

Q Research General #10442: The Beast of Burnin. The Top Speed Unknown Edition
"Insider" Claims China Exterminating the Sick
"I am a senior Chinese military Intelligence officer and I know the truth about the coronavirus outbreak. It is far worse than the media are telling you."
"Insider" says coronavirus is a cover story for a biological agent that was designed to infect dissidents in Hong Kong and elsewhere. This has gotten out of control and "billions of people outside China are in existential peril." He says the hospitals built to treat the virus are really extermination facilities.
Disclaimer - Much of this seems farfetched while some parts ring true. This may be some kind pf psy-op to induce fear and panic, or it may be completely true. I leave it to you to evaluate.
I am a Chinese citizen in Wuhan who occupies - or perhaps occupied - a high-ranking position in military Intelligence. I am also a member of the Chinese Communist Party. As a senior official near the top of the Party, I have access to a great deal of classified information and I have been involved in many top secret government projects. I have a doctorate from a leading university in a western country, which is why I am able to write my account in English.
I have information that I believe could lead to the overthrow of my government. It is also relevant to billions of people outside of China, all of whom are now in existential peril.
It will not surprise you to hear that if my identity were to be revealed, my life would be in grave danger, as would those of my wife and son. I ask you to respect the fact that I have stripped out of this account all facts that would make it easy to identify me.
By now you will be familiar with the recent outbreak of 2019-nCoV, also known as NCP, or simply "coronavirus". You will have heard that it originated in Wuhan, an industrial city in China, and that it came from an animal - most likely a bat or a pangolin - that was sold in a wild animal market. You will have been told that it is an influenza-like illness that can, in severe cases, cause pneumonia, respiratory failure and death. Finally, you may have heard that although the disease is highly infectious, it is dangerous only to the elderly or to those who have a compromised immune system. The official lethality rate is approximately 2% or so.
All of that is a bunch of lies concocted by the Chinese state with the tacit support of the U.S. deep state and its friends in the European Union, Russia and Australia, and spread by the docile media in all of those countries.
Let me start by telling you that the world does not operate the way you think it does. Although countries like the US and China vie for global dominance, that competition is restricted to certain limited areas. In most ways, the two countries are more interested in cooperation so that they can stop other competing countries from gaining more power. They also have a shared interest in keeping real power out of the hands of their "ordinary" citizens. To this end, they have many different mechanisms by which they control the overwhelming majority of their media outlets. The Americans in particular have perfected the art of creating made-up "divisions" between their two main parties which are designed to hide the fact that both serve the same masters.
These same nations also posses technology that is far more advanced than you can imagine and which is kept carefully hidden from public view. This includes advanced Artificial Intelligence capable of undermining and deciding any election in the world; biological and chemical agents that can manipulate and control the thinking patterns and behaviours of citizens to terrifying degrees; highly sophisticated manipulation techniques using hypnotic practices entirely unknown to the public; and other things that I will not go into now. My point is that the great nations do not compete so much as work together. Their principal goal is to shield the true workings of the world from the "uninitiated" public.
Just to give you one example, there aren't actually any nuclear weapons anywhere in the world. The U.S. and the Soviet Union scrapped them all in the 1970s, as did their client states.

Former President and cofounder, Drive.ai
Though Silicon Valley is full of companies trying to build the brain behind autonomous vehicles, few have come as close as Drive.ai. Reiley cofounded the company with fellow graduate students at Stanford's Artificial Intelligence Lab in 2015. It has since raised $91 million in funding to create kits that retrofit standard vehicles into autonomous cars. The company has autonomous vehicles on roads in Texas, and it plans to deploy more throughout the country as it continues to develop its technology. Reiley stepped down from her post as president of Drive.ai in 2018 to work on a stealth healthcare startup. Though she can't yet provide specific details, Reiley told Forbes that she's bootstrapping herself. Reiley hopes to release a beta product through her new company in 2019.

House Intel Committee Republicans Boycott Hearing Due to Schiff's Refusal to Address FISA Abuses
Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee boycotted a hearing on Wednesday, complaining that the committee's Democratic chairman Adam Schiff has neglected proper oversight of the Intelligence community by failing to hold a hearing on the Justice Department inspector general's report detailing the FBI's FISA abuses.
"Under your chairmanship, the House Intelligence Committee has strayed far from its mandate of overseeing the Intelligence Community," the panel's nine GOP members wrote in a letter to Schiff obtained by the Daily Caller.
"Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities," they added.
The Republican representatives afterwards boycotted a hearing of the Strategic Technology and Advanced Research Subcommittee on the development of Artificial Intelligence for national security, criticizing the hearing as a "publicity event."
In December, the Justice Department's inspector general released a report concluding that the FBI omitted crucial details in its requests for warrants to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page, specifically that the agency neglected to inform the FISA court that the controversial Steele dossier, cited in applications to spy on Page, was unreliable.
The dossier was compiled by former British Intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was investigating Donald Trump for an opposition research firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The dossier purported to show connections between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
The DOJ inspector general did not say the FISA court should have declined to grant the warrants, but Attorney General William Barr has disagreed, saying the FBI launched an "intrusive investigation" of the Trump campaign on the "thinnest of suspicions" that were "insufficient to justify the steps taken."
"We have gone months at a time in which we've hardly held any oversight-related briefings or hearings at all," the Intelligence Committee Republicans wrote to Schiff. "Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities."

It remains my great concern that components of viruses or the complete virus itself may be also replicated and remains an undetected / undisclosed aspect of this technology. I offer my observations with the assurance of duplicability. I only record what I can duplicate first. I offer this work with extreme urgency believing time maybe short. The growth of mold structures in my bugers ( and most likely yours) is a real real concern, the most probable suspect is a weaponized fusarium fungus.
It remains an idea that this thing may only be defeated with resonant frequencies, tuned to destroy the Quorum sensing capacity of this technology, rife technology. It remains an observation that perhaps light wave tech. might influence these things, since auto-fluorescence was achieved and is in my opinion evidence of the frequencies at which these fibers vibrate. It remains a concern that oxygen may be in real short supply, atmospherically.
It remains logical to assume microscopic fibers that collect / conduct electrical current are growing in our brains and slowly shorting out our neurons IE memory, or Alzheimer's. Denying conductivity to these creatures is perhaps the key though seemingly impossible.
Another thought on insect vectoring is that this technology can reside in the fluids of insects, when bitten by them the technology transfers with the DNA/RNA from the insect then attempts reconstruction, perhaps of the venom, within the human host. This would explain the DNA of insects and plants that have been isolated in infected humans.
A new and quite disturbing observation / possibility about our current situation is as follows: According to testimony given by those infected, a hive mentality has been observed by those afflicted. This suggests A.I. or "Artificial Intelligence", but to what extent is unknown.
Also the lower level cloud structures which appear now for the most part disassemble now far more frequently than two years ago. Originally my chemtrail photograph project started after observing a rather large cloud completely disassemble into a powder of sorts and blow visibly away on the breeze in minutes and observed by my co-worker as well.
The recent article of an air grab study in Phoenix titled "chemtrails shocking Phoenix air quality study" proves or vindicates my work and discoveries. Aluminum measured at 6400x above the toxic limit, along with Manganese at 5820x, Iron at 28000x, Barium at 278x, etc.
It's the beginning of the monsoon season here and I'm quite certain judging now at how often sunlight can be seen streaking to the ground like sunlight through a window in a smoke filled room, that living here is much worse than in Phoenix in that all the pollution from below rises up here to form rain clouds. Clouds now disassemble not evaporate with such frequency that I no longer photograph them, and have stopped almost altogether my chemtrail photography as it no longer matters.
Clearly we continue to be suffocated slowly by metal particulates.
The purest form of science is observation and after hundreds of hours of observations I can say without hesitation: "Houston we have a problem !!".
Aerosol spraying:
In a nutshell the way I see part of our dilemma, many of these synthetic clouds are nano tech polymers pre-programmed with certain geometric assembly functions to look like real clouds. They can retain this programming down to the nano-tech level as they degrade. Their programming can be diverse in nature, IE assembly, association, self-replication, all three or more, etc. This implies undeniable Intelligence and or pre-programming or control of some kind!!! On top of the metal particulates removed by me in our air, photographed in my blood and electrolyzed from my urine, we have plastic components (photo degrading at this very moment and present everywhere) of microscopic size, capable of geometric pattern regeneration and replicative / self survival behavior. The Morgellons syndrome could be more correctly labeled "Synthetic Cloud Infection Syndrome".

House Intel Republicans Boycott Hearing, Citing Schiff's Failure To Hold Hearing On FISA Abuse
In a rare move, the Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee boycotted a hearing scheduled for Wednesday morning, saying that Chairman Adam Schiff has "strayed" from conducting business relevant to the panel, including by failing to hold a hearing over the Justice Department inspector general's report on FBI abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
"Under your chairmanship, the House Intelligence Committee has strayed far from its mandate of overseeing the Intelligence Community," the Republicans wrote in a letter to Democrats obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation just before the start of a hearing for the Strategic Technology and Advanced Research Subcommittee.
"In fact, we have gone months at a time in which we've hardly held any oversight-related briefings or hearings at all," they wrote.
All nine Republicans on the panel signed the letter to Schiff, a California Democrat.
"Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities," they wrote.
They cited Schiff's failure to hold a hearing to discuss the Justice Department inspector general's (IG) report released on Dec. 9, 2019 that laid out a series of failures at the FBI during its investigation of the Trump campaign.
The Intelligence panel began an investigation similar to the FBI's in early 2017 into whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Neither investigation found evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Kremlin.
The FBI and House Intelligence Democrats relied heavily on the Democratic-funded Steele dossier for their investigations, but the IG report found significant problems with the salacious document.
The Republicans also slammed Wednesday's hearing as a "publicity event."
The topic of the hearing is the development of Artificial Intelligence for the purposes of national security of the U.S. and allied countries.
Republicans asserted that other House committees are capable of holding hearings on the issue.
"There are numerous Committees in the House of Representatives that may conduct public hearings on emerging science and technology matters; the House Intelligence Committee should focus on critical issues we are uniquely postured to address," they said.

They manipulate us, direct us and destroy everything that was truly divine and sacred in our mind.
In this timeline we must decide, will they take our spirit and destroy what god intended or will we stand and fight the evil and it's new designs. Faith, we must have faith.
Dr. Robert Duncan is a scientist and engineer who worked on black projects for DARPA, CIA, Justice Department and the Department of Defense. He was involved in Artificial Intelligence and cybernetics. As an MIT student he studied under professor Noam Chomsky on linguistics, studying computer AI language.
During his career he became aware of the military's experimentation on targeting US civilian populations and soon realized he was part of creating a dangerous weapon if used for dark projects.
Dr. Duncan gave a presentation at The Bases Project conference which explained what he worked on ,his inventions and what the military plans were for using them. He stated, government has been creating something called Cybernetic Hive Minds. This technology was being created in the 60's for specific functions. The list of uses is seen below.

He would like the public to understand, the military is way ahead in technological weaponry then the civilian industry. But he states Universities are now trying to catch up to this technology. MIT has already inserted a micro chip into persons that have memory loss. One example of a successful experiment, is a rat that had a micro chip implanted to record memory. Once the information was recorded in the chip, they went ahead and implanted that same chip into another rat that was fresh to the experiment and this new rat was able to have memory of the previous rats actions.

Q Research General #10206: Trusting the Plan Is So Much Better Than Peach Mints! Edition
A new study on meta reinforcement learning algorithms helps us understand how the human brain learns to adapt to complexity and uncertainty when learning and making decisions. A research team, led by Professor Sang Wan Lee at KAIST jointly with John O'Doherty at Caltech, succeeded in discovering both a computational and neural mechanism for human meta reinforcement learning, opening up the possibility of porting key elements of human Intelligence into Artificial Intelligence algorithms. This study provides a glimpse into how it might ultimately use computational models to reverse engineer human reinforcement learning.
This work was published on Dec 16, 2019 in the journal Nature Communications. The title of the paper is "Task complexity interacts with state-space uncertainty in the arbitration between model-based and model-free learning."
Human reinforcement learning is an inherently complex and dynamic process, involving goal setting, strategy choice, action selection, strategy modification, cognitive resource allocation etc. This a very challenging problem for humans to solve owing to the rapidly changing and multifaced environment in which humans have to operate. To make matters worse, humans often need to often rapidly make important decisions even before getting the opportunity to collect a lot of information, unlike the case when using deep learning methods to model learning and decision-making in Artificial Intelligence applications.
In order to solve this problem, the research team used a technique called 'reinforcement learning theory-based experiment design' to optimize the three variables of the two-stage Markov decision task – goal, task complexity, and task uncertainty. This experimental design technique allowed the team not only to control confounding factors, but also to create a situation similar to that which occurs in actual human problem solving.
Secondly, the team used a technique called 'model-based neuroimaging analysis.' Based on the acquired behavior and fMRI data, more than 100 different types of meta reinforcement learning algorithms were pitted against each other to find a computational model that can explain both behavioral and neural data. Thirdly, for the sake of a more rigorous verification, the team applied an analytical method called 'parameter recovery analysis,' which involves high-precision behavioral profiling of both human subjects and computational models.
In this way, the team was able to accurately identify a computational model of meta reinforcement learning, ensuring not only that the model's apparent behavior is similar to that of humans, but also that the model solves the problem in the same way as humans do.
The team found that people tended to increase planning-based reinforcement learning (called model-based control), in response to increasing task complexity. However, they resorted to a simpler, more resource efficient strategy called model-free control, when both uncertainty and task complexity were high. This suggests that both the task uncertainty and the task complexity interact during the meta control of reinforcement learning. Computational fMRI analyses revealed that task complexity interacts with neural representations of the reliability of the learning strategies in the inferior prefrontal cortex.
These findings significantly advance understanding of the nature of the computations being implemented in the inferior prefrontal cortex during meta reinforcement learning as well as providing insight into the more general question of how the brain resolves uncertainty and complexity in a dynamically changing environment. Identifying the key computational variables that drive prefrontal meta reinforcement learning, can also inform understanding of how this process might be vulnerable to break down in certain psychiatric disorders such as depression and OCD. Furthermore, gaining a computational understanding of how this process can sometimes lead to increased model-free control, can provide insights into how under some situations task performance might break down under conditions of high cognitive load.
Professor Lee said, "This study will be of enormous interest to researchers in both the Artificial Intelligence and human/computer interaction fields since this holds significant potential for applying core insights gleaned into how human Intelligence works with AI algorithms."

Rometty Replaced As IBM CEO, Shares Spike
You know it's bad when…
The share price of the company you are were CEO of soars after you're replaced…
Krishna is currently the head of IBM's cloud and cognitive software unit and was a principal architect of the company's purchase of Red Hat, IBM said in a statement Thursday. Rometty will continue as executive chairman and serve through the end of the year, when she will retire after almost 40 years with the company.
Full (very lengthy) statement from IBM:
The IBM Board of Directors has elected Arvind Krishna as Chief Executive Officer of the company and a member of the Board of Directors, effective April 6, 2020. Krishna is currently IBM Senior Vice President for Cloud and Cognitive Software, and was a principal architect of the company's acquisition of Red Hat. James Whitehurst, IBM Senior Vice President and CEO of Red Hat, was also elected by the Board as IBM President, effective April 6, 2020. Virginia Rometty, IBM Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will continue as Executive Chairman of the Board and serve through the end of the year, when she will retire after almost 40 years with the company.
"Arvind is the right CEO for the next era at IBM," said Rometty.
"He is a brilliant technologist who has played a significant role in developing our key technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, cloud, quantum computing and blockchain. He is also a superb operational leader, able to win today while building the business of tomorrow. Arvind has grown IBM's Cloud and Cognitive Software business and led the largest acquisition in the company's history. Through his multiple experiences running businesses in IBM, Arvind has built an outstanding track record of bold transformations and proven business results, and is an authentic, values-driven leader. He is well-positioned to lead IBM and its clients into the cloud and cognitive era."
"Jim is also a seasoned leader who has positioned Red Hat as the world's leading provider of open source enterprise IT software solutions and services, and has been quickly expanding the reach and benefit of that technology to an even wider audience as part of IBM," Rometty continued. "In Arvind and Jim, the Board has elected a proven technical and business-savvy leadership team."
Virginia Rometty, 62, became Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of IBM in 2012. During her tenure she made bold changes to reposition IBM for the future, investing in high value segments of the IT market and optimizing the company's portfolio. Under Rometty's leadership, IBM acquired 65 companies, built out key capabilities in hybrid cloud, security, industry and data, and AI both organically and inorganically, and successfully completed one of the largest technology acquisitions in history. She reinvented more than 50% of IBM's portfolio, built a $21 billion hybrid cloud business and established IBM's leadership in AI, quantum computing and blockchain, while divesting nearly $9 billion in annual revenue to focus the portfolio on IBM's high value, integrated offerings.
Rometty also established IBM as the industry's leading voice in technology ethics and data stewardship, working relentlessly to usher new technologies safely into society, and enabling people of diverse backgrounds and education levels to participate in the digital future. She has been committed to building talent and skills around the world. She created thousands of New Collar jobs and championed the reinvention of education around the world, including the explosive growth of the six-year Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools, or P-TECHs, which are helping prepare the workforce of the future, serving hundreds of thousands of students in 200 schools and 24 countries.
"Ginni has provided outstanding leadership for IBM, substantially transforming the company and ushering in a new cloud and cognitive era," said Michael Eskew, Lead Director of the IBM Board of Directors. "She has taken bold strategic actions to reposition IBM for the future, shedding businesses and growing new units organically and through acquisition, all while achieving record diversity and employee engagement and setting the industry standard for responsible technology ethics and data stewardship."
"With the strong foundation now established by Ginni for IBM's future, the Board is confident that Arvind is the right CEO to lead IBM," Eskew continued. "The Board ran a world-class succession process and found in Arvind a leader with the business acumen, operational skills, and technology vision needed to guide IBM in this fast-moving industry."

Abramovi?'s work, a performance piece The Life, will be presented using a Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset beginning on February 10, at a Los Angeles exhibition space produced by the studio Tin Drum. Abramovi? first debuted the piece last February in London's Serpentine Gallery, and it'll go on view this year at various locations, coinciding with Frieze LA, Frieze New York and Frieze London.
Specifically, The Life consists of a 19-minute recorded performance by Abramovi?, clad in a red dress and with her hair drawn slickly back, that guests experience by putting on a pair of goggles. Essentially, when the headset is pointed in the direction of a cordoned-off five meter circle, Abramovi? materializes within the boundary. In a press release, Christie's touted The Life as the world's first "mixed reality" artwork. So what makes this different from the many other artistic creations that urge viewers to don a virtual reality headset? In this instance, the surrounding gallery space and visitors will remain visible while you engage with the art-Microsoft's tech simply allows Abramovi? to appear. This differs from virtual reality, where entirely new surroundings are conjured during the experience.

"At Microsoft we believe that creating new opportunities for artists to transcend cultural boundaries and amplify their societal impact is at the forefront of creating a more inclusive and optimistic future," Lila Tretikov, the CVP of AI and Mixed Reality at Microsoft, said in a statement. "By sharing our innovations in mixed reality and Artificial Intelligence, we bring together science and art in an attempt to understand and explain the world around us."
The traveling exhibition, which will also pop up in May and London this year, is a clear continuation of Abramovi?'s history of success when it comes to innovative art events. In 2010, The Artist Is Present, her extended performance at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, drew a record 850,000 visitors, becoming the most popular show in the institution's history. Now, it seems, she experimenting with duplicating the experience, just without needing to actually be there.

The Rise of Smart Camera Networks, and Why We Should Ban Them
There's widespread concern that video cameras will use facial recognition software to track our every public move. Far less remarked upon - but every bit as alarming - is the exponential expansion of "smart" video surveillance networks.
Private businesses and homes are starting to plug their cameras into police networks, and rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence are investing closed-circuit television, or CCTV, networks with the power for total public surveillance. In the not-so-distant future, police forces, stores, and city administrators hope to film your every move - and interpret it using video analytics.
The rise of all-seeing smart camera networks is an alarming development that threatens civil rights and liberties throughout the world. Law enforcement agencies have a long history of using surveillance against marginalized communities, and studies show surveillance chills freedom of expression - ill effects that could spread as camera networks grow larger and more sophisticated.
To understand the situation we're facing, we have to understand the rise of the video surveillance industrial complex - its history, its power players, and its future trajectory. It begins with the proliferation of cameras for police and security, and ends with a powerful new industry imperative: complete visual surveillance of public space.
Video Management Systems and Plug-in Surveillance Networks
In their first decades of existence, CCTV cameras were low-resolution analog devices that recorded onto tapes. Businesses or city authorities deployed them to film a small area of interest. Few cameras were placed in pubic, and the power to track people was limited: If police wanted to pursue a person of interest, they had to spend hours collecting footage by foot from nearby locations.
In the late 1990s, video surveillance became more advanced. A company called Axis Communications invented the first internet-enabled surveillance camera, which converted moving images to digital data. New businesses like Milestone Systems built Video Management Systems, or VMS, to organize video information into databases. VMS providers created new features like motion sensor technology that alerted guards when a person was caught on camera in a restricted area.

China's Biological Warfare Program
In a 2015 academic paper, Shoham - of Bar-Ilan's Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies - asserts that more than 40 Chinese facilities are involved in bio-weapon production.
China's Academy of Military Medical Sciences actually developed an Ebola drug - called JK-05 - but little has been divulged about it or the defence facility's possession of the virus, prompting speculation its Ebola cells are part of China's bio-warfare arsenal, Shoham told the National Post.
Ebola is classified as a "category A" bioterrorism agent by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meaning it could be easily transmitted from person to person, would result in high death rates and "might cause panic." The CDC lists Nipah as a category C substance, a deadly emerging pathogen that could be engineered for mass dissemination.
China's Biological Warfare Program is believed to be in an advanced stage that includes research and development, production and weaponization capabilities. Its current inventory is believed to include the full range of traditional chemical and biological agents with a wide variety of delivery systems including artillery rockets, aerial bombs, sprayers, and short-range ballistic missiles.
Weaponizing Biotech
China's national strategy of military-civil fusion has highlighted biology as a priority, and the People's Liberation Army could be at the forefront of expanding and exploiting this knowledge.
The PLA is pursuing military applications for biology and looking into promising intersections with other disciplines, including brain science, supercomputing, and Artificial Intelligence. Since 2016, the Central Military Commission has funded projects on military brain science, advanced biomimetic systems, biological and biomimetic materials, human performance enhancement, and "new concept" biotechnology.
In 2016, an AMMS doctoral researcher published a dissertation, "Research on the Evaluation of Human Performance Enhancement Technology," which characterized CRISPR-Cas as one of three primary technologies that might boost troops' combat effectiveness. The supporting research looked at the effectiveness of the drug Modafinil, which has applications in cognitive enhancement; and at transcranial magnetic stimulation, a type of brain stimulation, while also contending that the "great potential" of CRISPR-Cas as a "military deterrence technology in which China should "grasp the initiative" in development.
In 2016, the potential strategic value of genetic information led the Chinese government to launch the National Genebank, which intends to become the world's largest repository of such data. It aims to "develop and utilize China's valuable genetic resources, safeguard national security in bioinformatics, and enhance China's capability to seize the strategic commanding heights" in the domain of Biotechnology Warfare.
Chinese military's interest in biology as an emerging domain of warfare is guided by strategists who talk about potential "genetic weapons" and the possibility of a "bloodless victory."

"U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Friday that China's Communist Party had created a surveillance state that uses Artificial Intelligence to repress Muslim minorities and pro-democracy demonstrators.
"In fact, the party has constructed a 21st century surveillance state with unprecedented abilities to censor speech and infringe upon basic human rights," Esper added. "George Orwell would be proud."

Q Research General #10124: The Rock Solid Defense Edition
EU plans more protectionist antitrust rules, data sharing in policy shake-up
The EU plans to adopt more protectionist antitrust rules and encourage businesses to share data as part of an industrial policy overhaul aimed at giving European companies a sharper edge in global markets, a strategy document seen by Reuters shows. Drafted by the European Commission and set to be unveiled in March, the strategy also includes the more aggressive use of trade defense instruments against companies deemed to be benefiting unfairly from foreign subsidies.
"Our vision is not about shielding uncompetitive industries or encouraging protectionist policies … At the same time, the EU cannot be complacent about third countries or companies undermining fair competition in the single market on global markets," the document said.
"This strategy sets the contours of a new and assertive industrial policy what will enable the EU to remain a global economic power," it added. Numerous EU countries and companies have called for Brussels to adopt a more ambitious and strategic industrial policy, complaining that others are able to take advantage of Europe's open markets without being subjected to the same rules.
That argument was cited by German conglomerate Siemens (SIEGn.DE) and French rival Alstom (ALSO.PA) in their failed bid to gain EU antitrust approval to create a European rail champion last year. Under the new policy blueprint, the Commission will evaluate and review EU competition rules to ensure that they are fit for purpose and contribute to a strong European industry at home and in the world.
In light of the growing data economy, the new policy envisions setting up a legal framework to facilitate the use, access to and sharing of data in a push to get companies to embrace Artificial Intelligence and blockchain technology. It will also promote more "Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI)", building on the success of an 8-billion-euro battery project involving seven EU countries and 17 European companies approved last year.
Such alliances are foreseen in clean hydrogen technologies and low-carbon industries as well as in microelectronics, the paper said. The new strategy warns foreign governments against unfairly shoring up their companies while restricting access to their markets, with the EU ready to use existing tools or create new ones if necessary, and also reinforcing customs controls.
"The EU will mobilize all relevant tools including rule-making, standards, international financial instruments, trade agreements, public procurement and intellectual property rights to leverage its strengths and advantages," the document said.

Apple Is Quietly Expanding Its Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) recently acquired Xnor.ai, a Seattle-based start-up that develops low-power, edge-based Artificial Intelligence tools. Apple didn't disclose the terms of the deal, but GeekWire claimed that the deal was worth about $200 million.
Apple reportedly paid a similar amount for Turi, another Seattle-based company that specializes in machine learning and AI, in 2016. Apple also recently acquired British AI start-up Spectral Edge for an undisclosed sum.
But those acquisitions are just the tip of Apple's AI iceberg. Apple has acquired over 20 AI companies since 2010, according to CB Insights, surpassing the number of AI acquisitions by Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). Apple also poached Google's AI and Search chief John Giannandrea in 2018.
All these moves indicate that Apple is aggressively expanding its AI ecosystem, even though its applications are less visible than Google and Facebook's implementation of AI for targeted ads, or Amazon's use of AI for sorting product listings. Let's delve into Apple's AI plans and see how they could shape the tech giant's future.
It's all about the iPhone – for now
Over the past decade, Apple's AI acquisitions mainly focused on improving the iPhone with new features. It acquired Siri, the core virtual assistant of iOS, in 2010. Its acquisitions of computer vision companies like RealFace – along with its development of first-party chips – led to the launch of FaceID and other face-tracking features in 2017.
Apple's purchase of Xnor.ai complements those investments. Xnor.ai's Edge AI engine previously enabled the Wyze camera – which competes against the pricier Amazon Ring and Google Nest Cam – to recognize people, pets, and objects. But unlike Ring and Nest Cam, which process images remotely on the cloud, the Wyze camera processes them locally inside the camera for better privacy and security.

George Soros in Davos: 2020 Election Will Determine 'Fate of the World'
Left-wing billionaire George Soros on Thursday reportedly warned that the 2020 election will determine the "fate of the world" and lashed out at President Donald Trump during a private dinner event at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Soros, the 89-year-old founder of the progressive advocacy organization Open Society Foundations, accused the president of being a "con man" and a "narcissist" who wants the world to "revolve around him," according to CNBC.
"When his fantasy of becoming president became a reality," his ego swelled, Soros said, adding: "This has turned his narcissism into a malignant disease."
Soros, who has yet to endorse a 2020 Democrat candidate, then said that this year's election will decide the "fate of the world," CNBC reports. In October, the billionaire argued White House contender Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is the "most qualified to be president," but stopped short of formally throwing his support behind her.
This, of course, is not the first time the hedge fund manager has taken aim at President Trump at the World Economic Forum. Last year, Soros criticized the president's negotiating style against China, which culminated in the signing of a phase one trade agreement last Wednesday.
"Regrettably, President Trump seems to be following a different course: Make concessions to China and declare victory while renewing his attacks on U.S. allies," Soros said at the time. "This is liable to undermine the U.S. policy objective of curbing China's abuses and excesses."
At this year's event, Soros also lambasted Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping for his government's use of a totalitarian social credit scoring system on Chinese citizens. Xi is using "Artificial Intelligence to have total control of his people," Soros warned. He also mused that China's president is "trying to exploit" President Trump on trade.
These remarks follow President Trump's speech before the World Economic Forum, in which he touted his America First economic policies as a model for global prosperity.
"A nation's highest duty is to its own citizens," the president told attendees. "Honoring this truth is the only way to build faith and confidence in the market system. Only when governments put their own people first will people be fully invested in their national futures."
"A pro-worker, pro-citizen, pro-family agenda demonstrates how a nation can thrive when its communities, its companies, its government work together for the good of the whole nation," he added.
President Trump also used the speech to reject climate alarmism, which loomed large over this year's event, partly due to teen climate activist Greta Thunberg's attendance.
"These alarmists always demand the same thing - absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives," the president stated. "We're committed to conserving the majesty of God's creation and the natural beauty of our world."

Automation Nation: Walmart Deploys Robots To 650 Additional Stores
America's largest retailer/employer is adding shelf-scanning robots to 650 more stores by August, expanding its total robotic fleet to 1,000 stores, reported Bloomberg.
Walmart's push for robots comes at a time when labor-costs are eating into profits. The company will have trouble passing increased costs to consumers; it will have to embrace automation on the front and back end of stores to drive labor costs lower, which will, in return, lead to a significant amount of its workforce slashed by 2030.
The U.S. unemployment rate lingers at several decades low and risks reversing as rising employment costs have led to a decline in job openings at the start of 2020. This could suggest the labor market has lost momentum, and rising costs have forced employers to stop hiring. Like Walmart, other companies will have to adopt automation and Artificial Intelligence to replace low-skilled workers to drive costs down.
C-suite executives at Walmart are ahead of the trend, some have argued they're creating the trend, with the widespread adoption of robots in stores.
Already, the retailer has robots in its order fulfillment center, cleaning floors on the front-end of stores, and unloading delivery trucks.
The latest one is a six-foot-tall shelf-scanning robot equipped with 15 cameras that checks if products on shelves need restocking.
CEO Doug McMillon has said automation in stores is a way to improve store performance and lower labor costs.
Walmart has adopted automation in stores for the last decade – most of the 4,750 U.S. stores have self-checkout kiosks, doing away with humans ringing up items for customers.
A recent report via McKinsey & Co. found about 50% of all retail jobs will be slashed in the coming years because of automation.
As we've mentioned before, automation will displace at least 20 million U.S. jobs by 2030, with food service, retail, transportation, and warehousing being the industries most affected with job losses.
If you're currently employed in one of these industries - now would be the time to get reskilled for a high-demanding job.

Q Research General #10046: We are the Meme Makers Edition
Xenobots are here: Tiny bio-robots inside your veins may heal you & will definitely be weaponized by West to take out 'bad guys'
Real robots are not two-legged steel boxes with a metallic voice
Mankind has been imagining advanced robot technology for a long time - pop culture is full of Terminators, Cylons, and Droids. But in fact, these humanoid designs show a distinct lack of imagination. Why have we always assumed that robots would be designed to have the same basic form as us: slightly ungainly primates trotting about on two feet, perhaps even toting a gun? The latest models make that particular notion look a bit 1950s.
One such model are the fearsome xenobots unleashed by American scientists a this week. These are biological robots less than a millimetre wide, that can move, release a payload and repair themselves. Grown from stem cells (cells that can turn into any type of body cell) that were cut into specific shapes designed by a supercomputer, they can swim inside the human body for weeks on end, working together to achieve a task.
They can walk and swim, meaning they are just one sport short of a triathlon. On top of all this, they have one more superpower - Wolverine's healing factor. Well, it may not be ripped from Marvel comics, but they can repair themselves without any help. And when the poor little xenobots reach the end of their short but glorious lives (are they alive?) inside your body, you can rest easy with the thought that since they are entirely organic, they will biodegrade naturally. What could be more comforting than Artificial creatures dying inside your veins made of nothing but harmless African clawed frog DNA?
Supercomputer creates sentience
Jokes aside, this is an astonishing leap forward in the game of playing God. But who exactly is the Dr Frankenstein to these xenobot monsters? Unnervingly, their specific shapes - they come in a range of shapes that look a bit like Tetris blocks - were designed not by the clever scientists, but rather by a supercomputer.
It did this via a kind of xenobot Battle Royale, in which tons of randomly-assembled designs faced off within a simulation to cull the weakest and mutate the strongest. Some of the winning forms are c-shaped, some triangular and there is even a doughnut-shaped one with a hole in the middle. But these are just the ones that made it to the final iteration. One wonders if they could be made to form any shape, like letters of the alphabet - xenobot soup could be a big hit, if only they were a bit bigger. (Besides, meat grown from frog embryos cannot be the tastiest. Silly idea anyway.)
Heal or kill?
So xenobots, in a nutshell, are a swarm of invisible genetically engineered semi-sentient robots designed by an Artificial Intelligence to live in the human body for days or weeks at a time, where they can survive without food and heal themselves if damaged. What could go wrong?
Well, probably nothing for now. But the arms race to develop xenobots for new applications is already underway, and militaries will certainly be eager to deploy them carrying biological weapons. The supercomputer that designed the xenobots was not available for comment.
Looking at the xenobots, I knew they were reminding me of something that I couldn't put my finger on. At last, it hit me: the little guys bear a striking resemblance, both in colour and texture, to the titular villain in the 1958 Hollywood blockbuster The Blob. The only difference being of course that blessedly, the xenobots are less than a millimetre wide, and therefore present no menace to small American towns. But what if one of the team went mad and tried to create one massive xenobot, one that could open car doors and absorb teenagers? Here's hoping the supply of African clawed frog embryo stem cells is running low in their labs. Apparently, the xenobots were named after Xenopus laevis, the frog's Latin name. Can it be a coincidence, then, that the prefix "xeno-" is Greek for "strange", "foreign" or "alien"? Either way, it suits these new life forms perfectly.

Apple News: Why The Tech Giant Bought Another Artificial Intelligence Start-Up
It's been about a month since the last Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) acquisition that investors have caught wind of (Spectral Edge, to bolster the company's computational photography). CEO Tim Cook confirmed last year that the tech titan tends to buy smaller companies every two to three weeks. Apple's latest acquisition is all about low-power edge-based Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Here's what investors need to know.
Doing things locally
GeekWire reports that Apple has scooped up Xnor.ai, a Seattle-based start-up that specializes in on-device AI. Xnor.ai was previously spun out of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's AI incubator, the Allen Institute for AI (AI2), back in 2017. The company provides tools through a self-service platform that allow other developers to incorporate AI into their apps.
Apple paid an estimated $200 million for Xnor.ai, according to the report. Apple had previously acquired another Seattle-based AI start-up, Turi, back in 2016, also for around $200 million.
Xnor.ai's main differentiator is that its technology keeps all of the AI processing on the local device as opposed to relying on data centers in the cloud. Apple prefers to store as much data locally as possible in order to improve privacy protections.
Apple's A-series of chips include a neural engine that handles most of the machine learning and AI locally on iPhones, with the latest A13 Bionic chip boasting significant machine-learning performance improvements thanks to its eight-core neural engine. Sensitive biometric data used for Face ID or Touch ID is also stored locally in what Apple calls a Secure Enclave.
At the same time, low-power computing is critical to improving battery life. The start-up showed off an AI chip last year that used so little energy, it could run off solar power.
In recent years, Apple has been aggressively expanding in Seattle. The company said last summer that the Emerald City would "become a key engineering hub" that would employ 2,000 workers within the next few years. The Mac maker's office is right around the corner from Amazon's headquarters, and Apple is undoubtedly poaching talent from its rival.
Sorry, Wyze
Xnor.ai's tech was incorporated into Wyze's smart home security cameras last summer, enabling people detection on the affordable – the entry-level Wyze Cam V2 costs just $20 – devices that was all processed locally. Just a few months after that feature was added, Wyze said in November that the people detection capability would be removed in January 2020 after Xnor.ai terminated its contract.
Wyze is internally developing a comparable feature, although it may use the cloud instead of on-device processing. The timing of all of that probably isn't a coincidence. It's entirely possible that Apple bought Xnor.ai a couple months ago and investors are just now finding out.

AI Expert Claims We Need 'Greta Thunberg of Robot World' to Prevent Emergence of Dangerous Robots
Thunberg became widely known for her calls for students to organise "climate strikes" around the world as well as for her passionate speech at the UN, where she accused world leaders of doing too little to address climate change.
Dr David Levy, an expert on Artificial Intelligence (AI), said in an interview with the Daily Star that the way technology is developing nowadays, the world might soon face a serious challenge from AI-equipped robots of all types.
"There are all sorts of possibilities of robots behaving badly, not just because the wrong data is used or a design fault. But also because of malicious intervention by people who have the skills to hack into robots and control it", he said.

Q Research General #9995: By the Dawn's Early Light Edition
Artificial Intelligence start-ups are selling images of computer-generated faces that look like the real thing, offering companies a chance to create imaginary models and "increase diversity" in their ads without needing human beings.
One firm is offering to sell diverse photos for marketing brochures and has already signed up clients, including a dating app that intends to use the images in a chatbot. Another company says it's moving past AI-generated headshots and into the generation of full, fake human bodies as early as this month.
The AI software used to create such faces is freely available and improving rapidly, allowing small start-ups to easily create fakes that are so convincing they can fool the human eye. The systems train on massive databases of actual faces, then attempt to replicate their features in new designs.
But AI experts worry that the fakes will empower a new generation of scammers, bots and spies, who could use the photos to build imaginary online personas, mask bias in hiring and damage efforts to bring diversity to industries. The fact that such software now has a business model could also fuel a greater erosion of trust across an Internet already under assault by disinformation campaigns, "deepfake" videos and other deceptive techniques.
Elana Zeide, a fellow in Artificial Intelligence, law and policy at the University of California at Los Angeles's law school, said the technology "showcases how little power and knowledge users have in terms of the reality of what they see online."
"There's no objective reality to compare these photos against," she said. "We're used to physical worlds with sensory input ... but with this, we don't have any instinctive or taught responses on how to detect what's real and what isn't. It's exhausting."

Amazon Will Ask Court to Block Microsoft From $10 Billion U.S. Government Cloud Computing Contract
Amazon will ask a federal court to temporarily block Microsoft from working on a $10 billion cloud computing contract for the military, according to a court filing Monday.
Microsoft is scheduled to begin its work on the contract on Feb. 11. But Amazon's cloud computing division will seek a preliminary injunction to "prevent the issuance of substantive task orders under the contract," the filing said. Amazon's request will be submitted by Jan. 24.
The request is part of Amazon's ongoing challenge to the Trump administration over the way the contract was awarded, which it argues was influenced by President Donald Trump's dislike of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post, which Bezos owns. Amazon was widely believed to be the front-runner to win the Pentagon's business, before Trump vowed to take "a strong look" at the deal. It lost the contract to Microsoft's Azure cloud business in October.
The contract - called Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI - involves providing cloud storage of sensitive military data and technology, such as Artificial Intelligence, to the Department of Defense, and could result in revenue of up to $10 billion over 10 years.
After Trump's remarks, the Defense Department launched a review of the JEDI contract. Defense Secretary Mark Esper recused himself from the review less than a month before the contract was awarded, citing his son's employment at IBM - which had also briefly been in the running for JEDI.
The Pentagon said it chose Microsoft because the company would help improve the "speed and effectiveness with which we develop and deploy modernized technical capabilities to our men and women in uniform."
Late last year, Amazon filed a suit with the US Court of Federal Claims contesting the decision.
Microsoft declined to comment Monday night.

Q Research General #9986: The Maglorian Edition
Some anon was saying the other day that America doesn't feature in scripture.
Wrong: in the Grail Christianity script, the USA figures very large.
The great prophet of Grail Christianity in our time was Rudolf Steiner. Do not get put off by any superficial assessments, based on Waldorf schools etc. The official Steiner movement has been deeply infiltrated by Jesuits:
http://themillenniumreport.com/2016/03/are-there-jesuit-spies-in-anthroposophy/
… and there are plenty of cranks and posers in the Waldorf movement.
The following Big Picture of world history you will only find from Steiner. Understand that for millions of people, including many Germans, Rudolf Steiner is up there with St John of the Apocalypse as a Christian visionary. They regard him as an essentially infallible guide, within his own warnings about the extent of what could be revealed in our time.
Steiner says there are two distinct faces to evil: Lucifer and Satan. Lucifer doesn't deny the spiritual world, but tempts us to set ourselves up as gods within it. Satan (or Ahriman, as Steiner names this aspect, using the Persian term) wants us to see the physical world as the only reality. The modern atheist scientists are pure agents of Ahriman.
Lucifer incarnated in China in the third millennium BC; Christ incarnated in the middle of this arc; and in the third millennium AD, Ahriman will incarnate in the flesh in the West, according to Steiner. Specifically, Ahriman would be born in the USA in the second half of the 20th century, and manifest on the world stage in the third decade of the 21st century.
There is no doubt that 5G and the Internet of Things – the global surveillance super-state – is the chosen and intended platform for Ahriman. There is no doubt that he is in incarnation, and fast approaching the moment he will appear on the world stage. This is the original "father of lies", Ahriman is pure lies, according to Steiner.
Steiner carved a head of Ahriman, trying to portray the cold intellect he will bring to the world. This is the Prince of the Principality of All Material Reality. Ahrimanic forces are necessary to give shape and form to the physical world; but they want to worm their way into our lives via machines, via Artificial Intelligence.
Take a look at the head of Ahriman. The one person I think of, when I see it, is Bob Dylan in a bad mood. Look at the downturn of Dylan's chin, and Ahriman's mouth.
I'm not saying Dylan is the Antichrist, although he did say he sold his soul to the devil. I'm just saying, there's a definite facial type we should be on the lookout for, coming out of America, the home of 5G.
Steiner is genuinely not easy, but the scope and scale of his vision is beyond anything you can imagine. And he saw America as bringing the culmination of world history as we know it. Ahriman is hard by the door; but he is in the open now. If you want to fight those principalities and powers of darkness, fight 5G with everything you've got. Take a look at the face behind it, and you'll see everything you need to know.

Under INFRASTRUCTURE & TECHNOLOGY, on January 8, 2020
White House posts summary of a Bloomberg Opinion by Michael Kratsios, Chief Technology Officer of the United States
AI That Reflects American Values
We don't have to decide between freedom and technology.
Innovations in Artificial Intelligence are creating personalized cancer treatments, improving search and rescue disaster response, making our roadways safer with automated vehicles, and have the potential for so much more.
But with growing concerns about data privacy, big tech companies, and the rise of technology-enabled authoritarianism in China and elsewhere, more people are starting to wonder: Must we decide between embracing this emerging technology and following our moral compass?
That's a false choice. We can advance emerging technology in a way that reflects our values of freedom, human rights and respect for human dignity.
As part of the Trump Administration's national AI strategy-the American AI Initiative-the White House is today proposing a first-of-its-kind set of regulatory principles to govern AI development in the private sector. Guided by these principles, innovators and government officials will ensure that as the United States embraces AI we also address the challenging technical and ethical questions that AI can create.

Will There Be Fake News In The 2020 Election? Facebook Bans 'Deepfake' Videos On Platform After 2016 Missteps
Facebook announced late Monday that it would ban "deepfake" videos from its platform, as the company seeks to combat disinformation during the 2020 U.S. election season.
"Deepfake" videos are doctored by using machine learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques, which can be used to discredit and embarrass a person. The videos are often so realistic that the average viewer would not be able to determine that they are authentic or not.
"While these videos are still rare on the internet, they present a significant challenge for our industry and society as their use increases," Monica Bickert, Facebook's vice president of global policy management, said in a company blog post.
"Our approach has several components, from investigating AI-generated content and deceptive behaviors like fake accounts, to partnering with academia, government and industry to exposing people behind these efforts," she continued.
The ban would not include parody clips or videos that are satirical in nature.
In May, a "deepfake" video that circulated on Facebook showed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D- Calif., in a drunken state, slurring her speech. The video had received at least 3 million views at the time. Another "deepfake" video showed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg boasting about world domination.
The proliferation of "deepfakes" on social media could dramatically alter the course of political elections, Paul Barrett, an adjunct professor of law at New York University told CNBC in October.
"If there are a multitude of deepfakes over the course of an election campaign, voters could grow cynical about the ability to tell truth from falsehood. Cynicism could lead to apathy, low voter turnout, and disillusionment with the entire political system," he said.
In June, Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called for social media companies to do more to combat "deepfakes."
"Now is the time for social-media companies to put in place policies to protect users from misinformation, not in 2021 after viral deepfakes have polluted the 2020 elections," Schiff said at a congressional hearing.

Facebook bans deepfakes, but new policy may not cover controversial Pelosi video
Facebook has banned users from posting computer-generated, highly manipulated videos, known as deepfakes, seeking to stop the spread of a novel form of misinformation months before the 2020 presidential election.
But the policy - first reported by The Washington Post, and confirmed by Facebook late Monday - does not prohibit all doctored videos: The tech giant's new guidelines do not appear to address a deceptively edited clip of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that went viral on the social network last year.
"While these videos are still rare on the internet, they present a significant challenge for our industry and society as their use increases," Monika Bickert, the company's vice president for global policy management, wrote in a blog post.
The changes come as Bickert prepares to testify at a congressional hearing later this week on "manipulation and deception in the digital age." The inquiry marks the latest effort by House lawmakers to probe Facebook's digital defenses four years after Russian agents weaponized the site to stoke social unrest during the 2016 race.
Going forward, Facebook intends to ban videos that are "edited or synthesized" by technologies like Artificial Intelligence in a way that average users would not easily spot, the company said, including attempts to make the subject of a video say words that they never did.
Facebook, however, will not ban videos manipulated for the point of parody or satire. And it signaled that other lesser forms of manipulation would not be outlawed, either, though they could be fact-checked and limited in their spread on the social networking site.
The policy does not appear to cover the infamously altered "drunk" video of Pelosi that was viewed millions of times on Facebook last year. Though her speech was slowed and distorted in the video to make her sound drunk, the effect was accomplished with relatively simple video-editing software. To contrast with more sophisticated computer-generated "deepfakes," disinformation researchers have referred to these kinds of videos as "cheapfakes" or "shallowfakes."
A spokesman for Pelosi did not immediately respond to a request for comment. At the time, Facebook acknowledged that its fact-checkers had deemed the video "false," but Facebook declined to delete it because, as a spokeswoman said, "we don't have a policy that stipulates that the information you post on Facebook must be true."

25,000 years ago, dark forces created quarantine Earth and took humanity hostage. They created a virtual reality control system so nobody could escape. They have trapped Light beings who have a connection with the Source, to fuel this virtual creation.
This virtual reality control system is still in place to an extent and is usually referred to as the Matrix. On the physical plane, the control is maintained through Orion-Babylonian type debt-based financial system slavery and through mass media mind programming. On the etheric, astral and mental planes, the control is maintained with electromagnetic spacetime distortion chambers similar to those used in Philadelphia experiment. Those chambers create an illusion of a closed loop system that appears to be eternal and this is the reason why so few beings have been able to be set free / liberated / enlightened.
The Matrix is run by beings, called Archons (Greek for rulers). They are beings that came from the Andromeda Galaxy and chose to experience darkness. They refused to reconnect with the source. Through millennia, they created Draconian and Reptilian race through genetic engineering to use them as slave warriors to expand their dark empire.
Planet Earth is the last planet of this dark empire to be liberated. There are very few Archons on planet Earth left.
On the etheric and astral planes, they are known as Lords of Karma. They are the ones that to a great extent decide the life path of anybody that incarnates. They choose our parents and to some extent determine our life conditions. This programming system is known as karma. With advance wave-form generating technology on the astral plane they manipulate astral currents of planetary energies and use them for malevolent astrological influences. They maintain the distorted spacetime structure with implants that have created spacetime black hole anomaly, thus confusing human mind and emotions. Implants are programmable crystals that were put into mental, astral and etheric bodies of every single human being on Earth with strong electronic devices.
On the etheric and lower astral planes, their Draconian administrators maintain the Artificial Intelligence technology that keeps the Matrix in place. It has an alert system so if an awakened being creates a hole in this Matrix with his Light, Draconians send a Reptilian slave warrior to exert pressure on the psychological weak spots of that awakened being to lower his vibration and thus close that hole. Also, those Reptilian slave warriors constantly exert pressure upon the mind and emotions of incarnated human beings on Earth in order to prevent their spiritual growth and to suppress their fight for freedom.

On the physical plane the Archons are incarnated within Jesuit organization and they spiritually control their administrators (Draconian Illuminati that run the financial system), their warriors (Reptilian mercenaries that protect the Illuminati) and their slaves (humanity that works for them in their 9-5 jobs). Through Jesuit societies and 33rd degree Freemasons they hold the Illuminati structure together. This structure is now finally falling apart.

This past July, Cybereason conducted a similar simulation with officials from the FBI, DHS and the Secret Service for the first time. That simulation, which also took place in Boston, was remarkably similar to that which occurred in November. One Intelligence officer from DHS who participated in the July exercise called the simulation "very realistic." Another claimed that the simulation was a way of applying "lessons learned from 9/11" by preventing the government's "failure of imagination" that officials have long alleged was the reason for the government's inability to thwart the September 11 attacks. Notably, The U.S. military simulated a scenario in which terrorists flew airplanes into the Pentagon less than a year before the September 11 attacks.
Participating government officials, Cybereason staff and the media have consistently touted the importance of these simulations in securing elections against extreme threats, threats which - to date - have never materialized due to the efforts of foreign or domestic actors on election day. After all, these exercises are only simulations of possibilities and, even if those possibilities seem implausible or unlikely, it is important to be prepared for any eventuality.
But what if the very figures behind these simulations and the investors that fund them had a history of election meddling themselves? Cybereason's deep ties to Israeli Intelligence, which has a documented history of aggressive espionage and election meddling in the United States and in several nations worldwide, warrant a deeper look into the firms' possible motives and the myriad conflicts of interest that arise in giving it such unprecedented access to the heart of America's democracy.
What Does Cybereason Do?
Cybereason's interest in terror events during elections seems out of place given that the company itself is focused on selling technological cybersecurity solutions like antivirus and ransomware protection software, software products that would be minimally effective against the type of threat encountered in the company's election day simulations.
Cybereason is often described as offering a comprehensive technological defense platform to companies and governments that combines a next-generation antivirus with endpoint detection and response (EDR), which enables the company to respond to typical viruses and malware as well as sophisticated, complex attacks. The platform makes heavy use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing and specifically uses Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is used by a litany of private companies as well as U.S. Intelligence agencies.
While many cybersecurity platforms combine antivirus and antimalware with EDR and AI, Cybereason claims that their military background is what sets them apart. They have marketed themselves as offering "a combination of military-acquired skills and cloud-powered machine learning to endpoint detection and response" and actively cite the fact that most of their employees are former members of Unit 8200 as proof that they are "applying the military's perspective on cybersecurity to enterprise security."
In 2018, Cybereason's former senior director for Intelligence, Ross Rustici, described the platform to CBR as follows:
Our founders are ex-Israeli Intelligence who worked on the offensive side. They basically wanted to build a tool that would catch themselves. We follow the kill chain model started by Lockheed Martin [now a major investor in Cybereason] and try to interrupt every stage once an intruder's inside a target network."

Artificial Intelligence Stock Market: Algorithmic Analysis of Humans and Their Behavior
Summary
Algorithms are being used every day to analyze human behavior and decision-making
Companies use these algorithms to reach relevant customers and expand their reach
AI could prove to be beneficial to employers seeking a diverse and successful company
Using Algorithms to analyze human thought process can help investors make profitable stock trades
Companies are using AI and algorithmic systems to analyze human behavior in the stock market to make accurate forecasts of stock trends
Introduction
Warren Buffett, the most successful investor in the world, once said, "beware of geeks with formulas." Looking towards to future of the job market, in response to the rise of technology and the development of algorithmic systems and Artificial Intelligence, some consequences of the advancements in algorithmic formulas are troubling. Researchers are estimating that within the next decade or two, close to 50% of American jobs will be automated. This is including not just production and manual labor, but research and analyst positions as well. Artificial Intelligence is capable of more today than many people can imagine. AI is, in many ways, being used to characterize and analyze human behavior. It's fair to be wary of formulas in a computer system that is analyzing human behavior only to place people in boxes. Algorithms are now being used to optimize search results based on what some are calling discriminatory parameters, and they are even being used to assist in the hiring process at some companies. Algorithms can also be used, not to do analysis on separate individuals, but to analyze human behavior as a whole.

I came across a great resource last night while digging on "black goo". Here is a snippet from the article I am currently reading.
Expand Your Thinking my fellow incarnates.
>The subtle energies circulating within the human physical biology and human spiritual anatomy are intimately entwined and interconnected, so that what happens to the physical body in the material world also happens to the soul-spirit consciousness body in other dimensional realities, and vice a versa. There is no way to separate the internal circuitry of biological energies from the spiritual energies in an organic ensouled human, as the fleshly body is the spiritual home that is designed for the original soul-spirit. In order to sever this interconnection, the NAA have implemented the transhumanist agenda to hybridize human bodies with Artificial Intelligence. The original consciousness blueprint and the cellular memories that are recorded in the physical biology and the spiritual biology, are one and the same. Those entities limited to the lower creation realms do not have the consciousness level access to read those memories, while those in the higher consciousness realms or that are cosmic citizens can read these memories.The spiritual biology is a living light organism that manifests its consciousness design through incarnation, and the soul's purpose is made through the expression of the physical human form. Thus, we are addressing the harm committed against the collective human consciousness through the intentional mass mind control that normalizes spiritual abuses through the accepted practices of Bio-Spiritual Harvesting throughout the NAA's death culture.

Pentagon Seeking Partners in Developing AI-Controlled Drone Swarms
On December 20, 2019, the US Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) published a Request for Information (RFI) to identify partners for a potential Artificial Intelligence drone platform.
The Pentagon's JAIC request for information is aimed at finding out if AI developers and drone swarm builders can come together to support search and rescue missions.
The goal for the RFI is to discover whether industry can deliver a full-stack search and rescue drone swarm that can self-pilot, detect humans and other targets and stream data and video back to a central location.
The potential solicitation would also look for companies or teams that can provide algorithms, machine training processes and data to supplement that provided by the government.
The ideal result would be a contract with several vendors "that together could provide the capability to fly to a predetermined location/area, find people and manmade objects-through onboard edge processing-and cue analysts to look at detections sent via a datalink to a control station," according to the RFI.
"Sensors shall be able to stream full motion video to an analyst station during the day or night; though, the system will not normally be streaming as the AI will be monitoring the imagery instead of a person."
The RFI contains a number of must-haves, including:
The ability to launch from air, sea and ground.
Capable of flying for at least two hours at a minimum of 50 knots airspeed.
Air droppable from another aircraft in flight.
Able to launch and fly to a predetermined search area and follow a predetermined pattern.
Capable of searching a geo-fenced area.
Sensors able to cover at least 100 square nautical miles.
A datalink enabling continuous communication with the ground station or launch platform.
Despite it being presumably humanitarian and with the aim of search and rescue, all training data will be government-owned and entirely confidential. All development work will be done using government-owned data and on secure government systems.
JAIC works with DARPA and other secretive high-level Pentagon agencies. They already operate drone swarms that can "hunt" for humans, with human input, but a potential implementation of a swarm that doesn't require any human input is also not out of the question.
Most likely due to pure coincidence, on December 31st, mysterious drone swarms were seen flying above rural northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska, in groups of up to 30.
Separately, the US military has been employing drone swarms, albeit human-controlled ones since 2017.

Head of Robotics Company Warns of Catastrophic Consequences for Mankind if AI is Used in Conflicts
In November, a report by Army Times detailed how the US military plans to enhance the capabilities of soldiers via a human-machine fusion, including connecting human brains to computers in order to control vehicles.
Rich Walker, the head of Shadow Robot Company, warned of catastrophic consequences for mankind if Artificial Intelligence is used in military conflicts. In an interview with the Daily Express, he claimed that organisations that are studying the use of autonomous weapons systems in conflicts say that using AI in these circumstances is a bad idea. "The positives of doing it are so small compared to the huge stack of negatives, so really we shouldn't be doing this", Walker cited the organisations as saying.
He said that the international community should treat this technology the same way it treats other dangerous technologies that people resort to in desperate situations. "We don't allow people to use chemical weapons in war, we don't allow people to use biological weapons and the use of land mines and cluster mines is heavily regulated or controlled", Walker explained.

Not the bees! Pentagon wants to use swarms of AI-powered drones for 'rescue' missions
The Pentagon is combing the AI developer community to try to build a self-starting swarm of AI-enabled drones capable of recognizing and tracking a target - ostensibly for search and rescue, but potentially for search and destroy.
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) issued a request (RFI) late in December seeking the latest and greatest in AI and drone swarm tech - and looking for clever ideas on how to combine the two. The resulting smart-swarm, the agency said, should be self-directing, able to find and track humans ("and manmade objects," the RFI specifies) on its own, capable of streaming video of its activities, and willing to nudge its minders (who won't be minding it most of the time, since it's primarily AI-powered) when it has latched on to something interesting. The swarm will have to be able to move at least 50 knots (93 km/h), stay in the air for at least 2 hours, and cover 100 square nautical miles (343 square km).
The official purpose of the "smart swarm" is search and rescue, the RFI explains, while the JAIC program comprises four "mission initiatives" - "predictive maintenance, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and cyberspace and robotic process automation."
So, where is number four? The RFI isn't telling, but we can speculate based on what JAIC is known to do. The AI-specialist department, which only debuted in 2018, ended up running Project Maven, the initiative to weaponize machine-learning and Big Data that was supposedly rejected by Google after employees got cold feet about helping the Pentagon kill people.
Project Maven has not only beefed up the quality of video input from tactical drones, or used computing power to organize the mountains of data obtained through surveillance, it has taught participants how to "use algorithms for war."
Will a smart swarm capable of hunting humans with minimal outside direction - along the lines specified in the RFI - follow the rules and stick to search and rescue, or will its AI confuse it with "search and destroy"? If the Pentagon's humans can't tell a civilian from a terrorist, how are its drone swarms supposed to be able to? And even if the algorithms work just fine, what's to stop the humans in charge from using their new toys for killing?
JAIC works with DARPA and other secretive high-level Pentagon agencies; if the US military were ever to develop a swarm of killer drones capable of operating without human input (they already have drone swarms that work with human guides), it would happen there.
Before you think "but they wouldn't dare," it would be exceedingly hard to prosecute an AI algorithm for war crimes, especially one written in open source.
We've seen this movie before, literally. The "Hated in the Nation" episode of the techno-dystopian TV show Black Mirror features a swarm of autonomous drone "bees" who've taken the place of the real thing after a mass die-off; this digital hive proves hackable, and every day, a single solitary drone bee assassin is weaponized to kill whichever public figure garners the most social media hate. Bees lost at such a slow pace, no matter the kamikaze drama of their last seconds, mean the hive-minders never mind.
The bee-masters in Black Mirror defend their creation by blustering about "military-grade" encryption, insisting no one could ever hack their high-tech better-than-nature-made-them pollinators. By that point, however, someone already had.
Military-grade encryption is only as good as the backdoors deliberately installed in it, and Attorney General William Barr and the whole Five Eyes Intelligence network are intent on installing enough backdoors to keep them busy peeking through your private data for the rest of their lives. Once they do that, everyone's drone swarm - literally and figuratively - belongs to everyone else. If there was ever a time not to rush into manufacturing an apocalyptic technology, it would be now.

U.S. spies are no longer being tailed by foreign governments in about 30 different countries because advances in facial recognition, biometrics and Artificial Intelligence have made it almost impossible for the agents to hide.
Whereas governments would once physically follow CIA officers, facial recognition at airports and general CCTV surveillance in those countries makes it far easier to track people.
It comes as U.S. Intelligence agencies face a growing crisis in Intelligence gathering, as developments in technology are making it increasingly more difficult to protect operatives and mask their digital footprints.
In one attempt to tackle the crisis, the CIA created a multi-million dollar program called the Station of the Future, Intelligence officials revealed to Yahoo News.

Robots are coming for Wall Street: AI threatening top finance jobs
The rise of machine learning is set to reshape the workforce in the financial sector and could disrupt not only routine jobs, but also hit some of the highest paying ones.
The warning was voiced by Dr. Marcos Lopez de Prado, professor at Cornell University's School of Engineering, as he testified before the US House Committee on Financial Services on Friday, at a hearing to determine the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on ?apital markets.
The professor said that, while tech firms started distributing data and crowdsourcing the jobs of data analysts through special tournaments, any investment challenge could be solved by an army of data scientists without financial background. Thus "the highest paying jobs in finance" could be put at risk, he noted, adding that asset managers could crowdsource their entire research function, while insurance companies could do the same with their actuarial models.
"Financial ML [machine learning] creates a number of challenges for the 6.14 million people employed in the finance and insurance industry, many of whom will lose their jobs - not necessarily because they are replaced by machines, but because they are not trained to work alongside algorithms,"Lopez de Prado told the ?ommittee.
While some of other witnesses also voiced concerns on how automated markets are reshaping the workforce, other invited specialists in investment and finance believe that AI could unlock many opportunities. One thing is clear, while the sphere is going to change, the question is if people are ready for it.
Rebecca Fender, Senior Director of the Future of Finance at the CFA Institute, an association of investment professionals, told the members of the task force that 43 percent of CFA members and candidates expect significant change in their roles in the next 5-10 years. The three roles"most likely to disappear" are sales agents, traders and performance analysts, she said, citing the result of a survey of more than 3,800 respondents.
Meanwhile, Kirsten Wegner, CEO of Modern Markets Initiative, said that policymakers are better to encourage the transformation to automatization, instead of impeding it, as it opens the door to many tech professionals.
"There are countless job opportunities popping up in coding, cybersecurity, data storage and management, quantitative reasoning and other technology verticals that Wall Street plans to prioritize," she said, adding that employment opportunities could stem from blockchain, e-banking, robo-advising and new cryptocurrencies.

Samsung will introduce an "Artificial man"
Samsung talked about a new product called NEON - it was nicknamed "Artificial man." The company emphasizes that this is not a new voice assistant, but something radically new.
It is still unclear what NEON is. The company does not share the details, but only gives hints. However, Samsung clearly stated - NEON will not replace Bixby, the old assistant will continue to work in smartphones and other devices of the company.
It is known that NEON is developing an internal laboratory of Samsung STAR Labs. The new product is based on Artificial Intelligence that will control a virtual person with emotions. But why do we need an "Artificial man" the company does not tell.

Cold Compassionless Machines' That Seek to Destroy Humanity Already Exist, AI Expert Reveals
Arguing that corporations essentially operate "outside of national rules of laws and societal codes of conduct", the AI expert suggested that the AI "is not the bit that makes that happen, the bits that make that happen are already in place".
While the image of a malevolent Artificial Intelligence bent on exterminating mankind is an age-old trope in science fiction, one AI expert has argued that people should probably be afraid not of these digital constructs but rather of the entities they might use to further their nefarious agenda.
During an interview with the Daily Express, Rich Walker, director of Shadow Robot Company, argued that there's a certain "kind of standard fear of A.I. that comes from science fiction", which manifests either as some sort of killing machine a-la Terminator or an Artificial construct that simply reshapes the world in its own image "and there is no space for humans in there".
There is actually quite a good argument that there are cold compassionless machines that change the world around us in their own image. They are called corporations", he explained. "We shouldn't necessarily worry about A.I. as something that will come along and change everything. We already have these organisations that will do that".
Arguing that corporations essentially operate "outside of national rules of laws and societal codes of conduct", he suggested that the AI "is not the bit that makes that happen, the bits that make that happen are already in place".

Q Research General #9725: Americas News Room is US Edition
Xi eyes 'new era' of China-Japan ties in shadow of Trump
Two leaders remain far apart on Senkakus and Hong Kong.
BEIJING – Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed Monday to step up cooperation for a "new era" of bilateral relations, showcasing a thaw that contrasts sharply with Beijing's fraught ties with the U.S.
"I hope to maintain close communication with the prime minister and elevate Sino-Japanese relations to a new level," Xi said at the roughly 40-minute summit here.
Xi greeted Abe with a smile, and the two leaders shook hands – a far cry from the stiff, awkward expressions both wore when they met in 2014. The change shows how the atmosphere has improved from its nadir following Tokyo's 2012 nationalization of the Senkaku Islands, which China claims and calls the Diaoyu.
Xi has pursued closer ties with Tokyo as China faces the prospect of a protracted clash with the U.S. Beijing hopes to learn from Tokyo, which has managed to build a good rapport with President Donald Trump despite occasional trade frictions. But Japan and China do have their own set of unresolved issues, including the incursion of Chinese vessels into Japanese waters near the Senkakus and Beijing's detention of Japanese nationals. In a dinner after the summit, Abe praised the partial Sino-American trade agreement, noting that the two sides successfully resolved some of their differences through dialogue. He urged Xi to continue with reform to create a fair and equitable business environment.
Though progress has been made on the U.S.-China trade war with the recent "phase one" deal, tensions still run high on other fronts, including technology and security. Abe also brought up pending bilateral issues, in hopes of ironing them out before Xi's state visit to Japan next spring. He called clashes between police and demonstrators in Hong Kong "deeply alarming," and he asked for a more transparent explanation of human rights issues in China's treatment of members of the Uighur ethnic minority.
In response, Xi reiterated Beijing's stance that both matters are internal affairs. Abe also pressed Xi to take speedy action on the matter of Japanese nationals held by China amid a security crackdown. Fifteen Japanese have been detained since 2015, of whom 10 have yet to return.
The Japanese leader said there can be no real rapprochement between the two countries without stability in the East China Sea – referring to increased Chinese activity around the Senkaku Islands – and urged self-restraint by Beijing. A record 1,000-plus Chinese vessels have sailed near the islands this year. The ships involved in the incursions have been growing larger and more heavily armed, a Japan Coast Guard representative said. For his part, Xi called for Japan to cooperate with China on its Belt and Road infrastructure initiative and on leveraging Artificial Intelligence and big data.
Abe told Xi that Tokyo is "extremely focused" on his state visit, which he called an "important milestone" for Sino-Japanese relations. The two countries see the event – the first state visit by a Chinese president since Hu Jintao in 2008 – as a chance to further develop bilateral ties and are considering taking the opportunity to sign a "fifth political document" defining the terms of their new relationship. Both leaders stressed their countries' shared responsibility for maintaining peace, stability and prosperity in Asia and the world as a whole – an idea linked to Xi's concept of a "community of common destiny." Tokyo hopes to use this shared ideal to guide Beijing in a more positive direction.
The two leaders agreed to work together toward the complete denuclearization of North Korea, and both were in accord on the importance of full implementation of United Nations Security Council sanctions. Xi requested support for a proposal by China and Russia to ease sanctions on Pyongyang. Tokyo believes that it is too soon to consider such a move, a Japanese government source said after the meeting.
Abe and Xi will meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday in Chengdu for a three-way summit.
Abe will meet with Moon separately on the sidelines of the gathering, marking the first formal talks between the two leaders in more than a year.
The Japanese leader will speak with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday about specific proposals for cooperation.

Q Research General #9711: Riders on the Storm!!! Edition
Wew lads, the fucking absolute state of this board.
OK all you anons who are legal illiterates, this is pure plebbit tier shillage to embarrass anons here.
First of all, it is utterly irrelevant if this pothole shitter has filed this paper work with a Federal District Court, or one of those fascade like and vaguely effeminate Eurofag courts.
You can file a law suit claiming that your gardener leaves lawn clippings in purposely constructed black magic runes designed to make you drink Round Up!
What matters are the plaintiffs, their standing, the appropriateness of the defendents, and whether or not torts and/or negligence has been credibly shown to have occurred due to defendants actions.
Firstly, outside of the pothole shitting poo, the rest of the plantiffs listed are not plaintiffs. It is just an unsubstantiated list of mostly foreign "groups of people" that have no official status. Furthermore, applicant atty does not show that he has any official legal agreement with any official organization or "CLASS" of individuals to proceed into a US court on their behalf. Otherwise atty's wouldn't need to do all the leg work and advertising to sue Monsanto over Glyphophate. An atty could just say "For all those people the world over who have used this stuff". The plaintiff list is garbage.
This alone is sufficient for a judge to dismiss the case by request of defendants council before the official opening date of the trial.
Next are the utterly stupid complaints.
Law suits for damages are filed based on both the seriousness of the malfesance/negligence of the defendant and the significance/size of the remedy necessary to either make whole, repair damages, or to mitigate the burden of further harms/costs/losses to the applicant.
In our courts, we follow the UCC (universal commercial code). These rules identify/define the actions that a defendant can be alledged to have committed and the types of remedies available to the applicants if their allegations are upheld. Broadly speaking, the actions fall under Breach of some sort of legal defined agreement or trust (breach of contract), Tort (actions intentionally taken to harm applicants life or property) and Negligence (actions defendant took that caused the harm, that defendant SHOULD HAVE known carried a reasonable risk of harm [not leaving a wet floor sign on a recently mopped floor in an area open to the general public].) Negligence can be minor, which protects the defendant with respect to responsibility to the damages, to criminally serious, exposing defendants to damages and penalties (in civil court).
So lets look at number 1. "Misuse of Artificial Intelligence, cybernetics…blah blah blah"
Sorry folks, but there is no civil legal issue here, and there are no laws in the US Code defining the criminal misuse of any of these technologies. Further, while courts prefer that it's officers use concise, technical language to lay out a case, even if we allow for some linguistic style, it is the applicant's duty to show each specific Breach, Tort, or Act of Negligence that defendant provably committed and the specific harm that resulted from that act. Applicant does none of this. Everything is vague. For example, Artificial Intelligence is merely a bit of jargon that deals with computers attempting to solve problems not specifically defined by the programmer. You can't claim shit with this. Applicant needs to identify a UNIQUE AI project being used to cause harm, not some vague misuse of an undefined category.
The second one is even more idiot tier. "Endagering the human race…". Outside of SPECTRE's relentless EBIL PLANS, this is not an actionable claim. Harms and Remedies in lawsuits MUST identify a specific harm causing specific damages to a specific person by a specific defendant. This is garbage of the #NOREF #NODEF divide by 0 and multiply by infinity variety.
We now have a completely seperate and valid instance where defendant can expect the judge to dismiss the case.
The third reason is that applicant's vague list of technologies in no way specifies ANY of the suits defendants. Applicant can't claim Google is a defendant because Google writes AI's for various internal and external apps, just because applicant believes SOME TYPE of non specific AI caused some unknown harm. This is a third independant reason for defendant to request and win a motion to dismiss.
Seriously anons notableing this shit over and over is now way past full retard. Think logically.

this is not promising. it's by someone who's not a lawyer who didn't bother to even look at how to really draft a lawsuit. would urge to avoid – maybe the allegations are interesting, but this case is going nowhere.
maybe in California there's a law against "endangering the human race with the misuse of Artificial Intelligence technology" or "complicity in genocide, china," but these are not valid causes of action. in fact, any normal judge will probably refer to a magistrate judge, who will then say this case is a joke, allow for a redraft if they are feeling generous, and then dismiss.
don't waste your time. a first week law student would do a better job.

Facebook says a pro-Trump media outlet used Artificial Intelligence to create fake people and push conspiracies
Facebook took down more than 600 accounts tied to The Epoch Times, a media outlet that has spent heavily on digital ads to push pro-Trump conspiracy theories.
Facebook took down more than 600 accounts tied to the pro-Trump conspiracy website The Epoch Times for using identities created by Artificial Intelligence to push stories about a variety of topics including impeachment and elections.
The network was called "The BL" and was run by Vietnamese users posing as Americans, using fake photos generated by algorithms to simulate real identities. The Epoch Media group, which pushes a variety of pro-Trump conspiracy theories, spent $9.5 million on ads to spread content through the now-suspended pages and groups.
"What's new here is that this is purportedly a U.S.-based media company leveraging foreign actors posing as Americans to push political content. We've seen it a lot with state actors in the past," Facebook's head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleiche, said in an interview.
The network had over 55 million followers on Facebook, almost double the following of Kim Kardashian West.
The accounts pushed anti-impeachment and pro-Trump messages while otherwise posing as everyday Americans. Sometimes the accounts featured obvious errors. One moderator of a popular "BL" page was named "Ellen Dancey," but featured an AI-generated face of a man. Dancey's sole post to his profile page read "Hello, wellcom to my face book."
Gleicher said using the AI-generated faces was more likely to get the bad actors caught than to help mask their identities.
"We detected these accounts because they were engaged in fake behavior. Using AI generated profiles as a way to make themselves look more real doesn't actually help them," Gleicher said, adding the fake profiles were more likely to trip automatic sensors of fake accounts. "The biggest takeaway here is the egregiousness of the network in using fake identities."
The Epoch Media group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The network of fake pages included 89 pages, 156 groups and 72 Instagram accounts. Epoch Media Group, which runs The Epoch Times, is run by practitioners of Falun Gong, who believe the world is soon headed for a judgment day, where all those labeled as Communists will be sent to hell. One former Epoch Times editor told NBC News in August that practitioners "believe that Trump was sent by heaven to destroy the Communist Party."
The Epoch Times was the largest buyer of pro-Trump ads on Facebook until August. The company was banned from purchasing ads on Facebook after it repeatedly violated the company's political advertising rules.
The Epoch Times has developed advocates in and around the Trump administration. President Donald Trump's official Facebook page has posted their stories at least a half-dozen times this year. Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, conducted a 40-minute interview in Trump Tower with The Epoch Times in May.
The Epoch Times' official Facebook pages are still active and "verified" on Facebook, with more than 10 million combined followers. The Epoch Times remains one of the largest political ad spenders on YouTube, which is owned by Google.
The fact-checking site Snopes first revealed The BL's network in October. Facebook did not credit Snopes for its work in a press release announcing the takedown.
"Every piece of open source reporting is valuable," Gleicher told NBC News. "We've got to take the time to find the whole network."
Snopes left Facebook's fact-checking program in February. Snopes' vice president of operations, Vinny Green, said at the time that "it doesn't seem like we're striving to make third-party fact-checking more practical for publishers - it seems like we're striving to make it easier for Facebook."
Green told NBC News that Snopes alerted Facebook to the BL's network several times since October, but did not receive a response.
"Facebook continues it efforts to gaslight the media and its users into thinking it's serious about addressing inauthenticity and fraud on its platform," Green said. "We first reported on this network in October, and continue to do so throughout the remainder of the year at great expense to our organization."

Q Research General #9705: Shilless Christmas Saturday Edition
How Big Tech Manipulates Academia to Avoid Regulation
The irony of the ethical scandal enveloping Joichi Ito, the former director of the MIT Media Lab, is that he used to lead academic initiatives on ethics. After the revelation of his financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier charged with sex trafficking underage girls as young as 14, Ito resigned from multiple roles at MIT, a visiting professorship at Harvard Law School, and the boards of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the New York Times Company.
Many spectators are puzzled by Ito's influential role as an ethicist of Artificial Intelligence. Indeed, his initiatives were crucial in establishing the discourse of "ethical AI" that is now ubiquitous in academia and in the mainstream press. In 2016, then-President Barack Obama described him as an "expert" on AI and ethics. Since 2017, Ito financed many projects through the $27 million Ethics and Governance of AI Fund, an initiative anchored by the MIT Media Lab and the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. What was all the talk of "ethics" really about?
For 14 months, I worked as a graduate student researcher in Ito's group on AI ethics at the Media Lab. I stopped on August 15, immediately after Ito published his initial "apology" regarding his ties to Epstein, in which he acknowledged accepting money from the financier both for the Media Lab and for Ito's outside venture funds. Ito did not disclose that Epstein had, at the time this money changed hands, already pleaded guilty to a child prostitution charge in Florida, or that Ito took numerous steps to hide Epstein's name from official records, as The New Yorker later revealed.
The discourse of "ethical AI" was aligned strategically with a Silicon Valley effort seeking to avoid legally enforceable restrictions of controversial technologies.
Inspired by whistleblower Signe Swenson and others who have spoken out, I have decided to report what I came to learn regarding Ito's role in shaping the field of AI ethics, since this is a matter of public concern. The emergence of this field is a recent phenomenon, as past AI researchers had been largely uninterested in the study of ethics. A former Media Lab colleague recalls that Marvin Minsky, the deceased AI pioneer at MIT, used to say that "an ethicist is someone who has a problem with whatever you have in your mind." (In recently unsealed court filings, victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre testified that Epstein directed her to have sex with Minsky.) Why, then, did AI researchers suddenly start talking about ethics?

Custom silicon chips, mind-reading technology, and a built-from-scratch operating system. Facebook is investing billions of dollars in technologies that could make it a gatekeeper when-and if-augmented reality becomes the next big thing.
In Burlingame, California, a small city about 15 miles north of Facebook's Silicon Valley headquarters, a monument to the social media giant's future ambitions is taking shape. Construction is underway on a 770,000-square-foot new campus, with the capacity for about 4,000 employees, that will be devoted entirely to a burgeoning Facebook group making new hardware.
Undeterred by past setbacks in the category-including a big investment in virtual reality, which still remains a niche product-Facebook is doubling down in hardware by building or acquiring many of the key ingredients necessary to run the devices it plans for the future, such as augmented reality glasses. It has teams devoted to making its own custom silicon chips, a voice assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence, and technology capable of deciphering human thoughts.

Q Research General #9679: Barr/Durham Drops da bomb on C_A Edition
Silicon Valley is powering the new military-industrial complex
In early November several dozen experts from the American military industrial complex-including senior officers, defense contracting executives, and think tank advisers-gathered at a hotel a few blocks from the Capitol to discuss Artificial Intelligence software. While everyone ate lunch, General Jack Shanahan, head of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center-JAIC, or the "Jake," as it's known-sat onstage in his dress uniform and chatted with two civilians in suits: Eric Schmidt, Google's former chief executive officer, and Kent Walker, its chief legal officer.
The appearance with a high-ranking military officer was a coup for Google. Over the previous two years, the company and its parent, Alphabet Inc., have been criticized relentlessly for being insufficiently patriotic. Its perceived infractions: One, the 2017 decision to open an Artificial Intelligence lab in Beijing when many in the U.S. had come to see the development of AI as a national priority on par with the Manhattan Project. Two, the 2018 decision, in the face of pressure from employees, to withdraw from Project Maven, a secret government program to use commercial AI software to analyze images from military drones.

Q Research General #9674: Jig is Up! Edition
Online mom poses as 11-year-old girl for 1 week. She encounters extraordinarily disturbing things.
A 37-year-old mom named "Sloane Ryan" documented her experience as an 11-year-old girl on social media - and the outcome was highly disturbing.
What are the details?
In a lengthy - and graphic - post shared on Medium, Ryan recounts her experience posing as 11-year-old "Bailey," an innocent and fresh-faced adolescent at the center of online sex abuse and grooming.
Ryan, who is physically and digitally manipulated to look like an 11-year-old girl, works with "Brian" of Bark, which is an Artificial Intelligence company leading a research project on the dangers of social media and its impact on adolescents.
Ryan writes, "Bark uses AI to alert parents and schools when children are experiencing issues like cyberbullying, depression, threats of violence - or in this case, targeting by sexual predators." Bark also works with law enforcement to catch said alleged predators.
The program monitors more than 4 million children and analyzes more than 20 million interactions per day.
"Less than a year ago, Brian and I sat in a meeting where we wrestled with how exactly to talk to parents about online grooming," Ryan writes. "Back when Bark was a much smaller team, we encountered a particularly harrowing case of an online predator abusing a girl in middle school. She was only 12 years old, and this man was grooming her through her school email account, coercing her to send videos of herself performing sexual acts. We knew people like him were out there, but it floored us to see how quickly and deftly he was able to manipulate this child."
Ryan reveals that the program alerted the FBI to at least 99 child predators. The alarming number has risen to worse levels in 2019 - with more than 300 reports to the FBI and counting.
Ryan writes, "I upload the photo to Instagram - a generic, innocuous selfie of Bailey with an ear-to-ear smile - and caption it."
The simple caption reads, "v excitedd to see my friends this weekend at carly's party! Ilysm!!"
What happens after a child posts a photo?
Ryan says that adults will respond to such a post "unnervingly fast."
"At the beginning of the week, on the very first night as Bailey, two new messages came in under a minute after publishing a photo," Ryan reveals. "We sat mouths agape as the numbers pinged up on the screen - 2, 3, 7, 15 messages from adult men over the course of two hours. Half of them could be charged with transfer of obscene content to a minor."
Here are some of the more disturbing interactions between "Bailey" and adults:
"Hi! I was just wondering how long you've been a model for? … If not, you should be a model. You're so PRETTY."
"You are a very beautiful girl. … I love your pictures on here. Does your mom and dad let you have a boyfriend yet?"
"Since we are together, are you ready to send sexy pictures to each other?"
You can read more disturbing interactions here.
Ryan writes that the majority of men send explicit, graphic nude photos and videos to the 11-year-old girl within minutes.

Iran leader urges deeper Muslim links to fight US 'hegemony'
By EILEEN NG
33 minutes ago
''KUALA LUMPUR. Malaysia (AP) -
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Thursday urged Muslim nations to deepen financial and trade cooperation to fight what he described as U.S. economic hegemony, using an Islamic conference in Malaysia as a platform to decry American sanctions against his country.
Rouhani repeated his assertion that the U.S. has used economic sanctions as the "main tools of domineering hegemony and bullying" of other nations.
Iran has been gripped by violent protests since last month amid anger over a sharp hike in gasoline prices following U.S. sanctions after Washington withdrew last year from Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. There has been a wave of arrests in Iran and rights group Amnesty International has said at least 304 people were killed in the anti-government protests.
Rouhani said the U.S. sought to cripple Iran with the "heaviest sanctions" but the country's economy is on the mend and moving away from reliance on oil.
"The Muslim world should be designing measures to save themselves from the domination of the United States dollar and the American financial regime," he said at the opening ceremony of the three-day conference that included leaders from Turkey, Qatar and host Malaysia.
Rouhani suggested the creation of a special banking and financial mechanism among Muslim nations, using local currencies for trade and giving each other trade privileges to deepen linkages.
He said rising extremism as well as challenges such as weak governance, poverty and corruption are endangering sovereignty and paving the way for Western interference in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and other Muslim nations. But if Muslim countries harness their collective strength, they could confront such problems, he said.
Rouhani proposed the Kuala Lumpur conference establish a joint fund to finance technological cooperation among Muslim nations, set up a a joint research center in Artificial Intelligence and cyberspace, and create a Muslim market in digital economy and cryptocurrency.
Notably absent from the conference is Saudi Arabia, which snubbed the meeting because it was not held under the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Saudi Arabia and Iran are bitter rivals. Pakistan also withdrew from the conference in a move to assuage its ally, Saudi Arabia.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched a veiled criticism against the OIC, telling the conference that the platform that brings the Muslim world together was besieged by a "lack of implementation."
"We still haven't made any progress regarding the Palestinian cause, we still can't stop the exploitation of our resources, we still can't say 'stop' to the fragmentation of the Muslim world over sectarianism, that's why," said Erdogan.
Muslims account for 94% of worldwide conflict with one out of three arms sold globally finding its way to the Middle East, he said. "The Muslims are using their resources for armament and for conflict and while doing so they are enriching the Western arm dealers," he added.
Rouhani leaves Friday for a two-day visit to Japan.

Exclusive: U.S. finalizing rules to limit sensitive tech exports to China, others
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration is finalizing a set of narrow rules to limit exports of sophisticated technology to adversaries like China, a document seen by Reuters shows, in a boon to U.S. industry that feared a much tougher crackdown on sales abroad.
The Commerce Department is putting the finishing touches on five rules covering products like quantum computing and 3-D printing technologies that were mandated by a 2018 law to keep sensitive technologies out of the hands of rival powers.
Before drafting the rules, Commerce sought industry comment last year on a raft of high-tech sectors that it could cover under the law, from Artificial Intelligence technology to robotics. That fueled concerns among U.S. businesses the department would craft broad, tough regulations that would stymy a host of exports to key customers.
But the internal status update seen by Reuters shows for the first time that Commerce is finishing a first batch of rules that touch on just a few technologies that will be proposed to international bodies before taking effect, a reprieve for U.S. companies.
"Based on their titles, the rules appear to be narrowly tailored to address specific national security issues, which should go a long way to calming the nerves of those in industry concerned that the administration would impose controls over broad categories of widely available technologies," said Kevin Wolf, former assistant secretary of commerce for export administration.
Commerce declined to confirm any details but said it has a number of proposed rules in the review process.

EXCLUSIVE: Swedish Researcher 'INTIMIDATED' After Exposing Rape Gangs
A SWEDISH researcher who claimed that 98% of gang rapes in Sweden were committed by non-Europeans says she faced intimidation by a former contributor from a group partly funded by George Soros, Politicalite on Sunday can exclusively reveal.
Bilyana Martinovski, a former Stockholm University lecturer whose expertise is in Artificial Intelligence (AI), also states the worrying fact that only 5% of these gang rapists are convicted and sent to prison for their crime in Sweden.
Bilyana was conducting a study idea of incorporating virtual AI technology to help rape victims as it does presently for soldiers with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
She asked every district court on the statistics for rape, gang rape, aggravated rape and over a five-year period was stunned to find "5% of the reported gang rapes got convicted, in most cases they were dropped on the pre-investigation stage," said Professor Martinovski.
The reason behind the lack of convictions claims Bilyana is that there is not enough room in prisons to put them. "If there are over 8000 reported gang/rapists per year in Sweden, this would mean that at least 7500 walk with impunity amongst us."
She added that the convicted gang/rapists "got ridiculously low penalties at great cost to society."
She stumbled across a website called Gang Rape Sweden that detailed statistics correlating with official figures too. This has been archived and hard to find purposely to cover up the problem according to claims.
Speaking exclusively to Politicalite Bilyana Martinovski said: "The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRÅ), which is supposed to offer official statistics, continues to refuse to provide crime statistics based on origin of perpetrator and victim."
The reasons for the cover up are organised by financial sharks in the EU who aim to destroy European societies. "They want centralised power but their methodology is so brutal and inhumane that it defeats the purpose" says Bilyana.
She also claims that: "Europeans agreed on open borders between Europeans in order to stimulate culture and cooperation. They did not agree to have open borders to continents the EU is at war with and who aim to destroy European society's spirit, culture and identity."
Bilyana also claims that she has been persecuted, criminalised and doxed by 'left-wing' groups and people who shore up what she describes as the migrant system.
"I checked and validated gang rape statistics in 2017 and got career assassinated, monitored and persecuted for it."
Martinovski claims she was flung out of Stockholm University because a left wing democracy activist, Kajsa Klein, who has previously contributed to Open Democracy, that is partly funded by the billionaire philanthropist George Soros - but a source told Politicalite that Klein has no links to the group.
Bilyana claims that Klein wrote emails and informed the head professor of her tweets on the problem of the migrant rape gangs.
"The [sic] activist expected me to commit suicide when she wrote to my employers false defamation letters, forcing them to career assassinate me," claims Bilyana.
"It even went as far in trying to get Martinovski kicked out of her apartment a year later!"
"But as Bilyana went on holiday in October to recuperate from all the stress, she came back into the airport and five policemen were waiting in two cars and a van outside to arrest her."

37-Year-Old Mom Finds Instagram's Sex Predators By Pretending To Be 11 (medium.com)
https://yro.slashdot.org/story/19/12/14/1733248/37-year-old-mom-finds-instagrams-sex-predators-by-pretending-to-be-11

Sloane Ryan is a 37-year-old woman who runs the Special Projects Team at Bark, a child-safety tech company selling a $9-a-month software that monitors text messages for bullying, threats of violence, depression, and sexual predators. "In 2018 alone, Bark alerted the FBI to 99 child predators. In 2019? That number is more than 300 – and counting."
Bark had wanted a way to depict the problem to the public without using actual conversations – so Ryan began posing as an underage minor on Instagram.
Over the past nine months, I've been 15-year-old Libby and 16-year-old Kait and 14-year-old Ava. I've been a studious sophomore contemplating bangs and a lacrosse player being raised by her aunt and an excitable junior eager for prom….
At the beginning of the week, on the very first night as [11-year-old] "Bailey" two new messages came in within 52 seconds of publishing a photo. We sat mouths agape as the numbers pinged up on the screen – 2, 3, 7, 15 messages from adult men over the course of two hours. Half of them could be charged with transfer of obscene content to a minor. That night, I had taken a breather and sat with my head in my hands.
The second half of the article includes examples of particularly graphic conversations with what the perpetrators think are an 11-year-old girl instead of the 37-year-old woman who's investigating them. "I exit the conversation with @ XXXastrolifer to see another nine requests pending… Over the course of one week, over 52 men reached out to an 11-year-old girl."
Ryan also says they've formed "continuous working relationships" with law enforcement agencies, and "We've seen arrests and sentencings. We've provided testimony in court and invaluable information to investigations."
Now they're using the conversations they've collected to train Artificial Intelligence algorithms to better detect sexual predators automatically.

Big Tech Technocrats Embrace Military Technocrats
In his 1961 farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned about the military/industrial complex and the scientific elite in the same breath, lest we 'become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.' Big Tech and the Pentagon are chock full of Technocrats.
Bezos' warning that Big Tech and the Pentagon need to be be tightly affiliated is a clear sign that Technocrats are in control of both.? TN Editor
Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos gave a dismal outlook for the nation if U.S. tech companies decide to not support the Pentagon's war business.
"If big tech is going to turn their backs on the Department of Defense, this country is in trouble, that just can't happen," Bezos said at the annual Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California.
"Look I understand these are emotional issues, that's okay, we don't have to agree on everything, but this is how we are going to do it, we are going to support the Department of Defense. This country is important," he added.
As Silicon Valley courts a closer relationship with the Pentagon, tech firms have faced backlash for pursuing lucrative Defense Department contracts.
Last year, Google announced that it was working with the U.S. military to analyze drone videos by using Artificial Intelligence.
The controversial contract, dubbed Project Maven, caused thousands of employees to protest the initiative.
In the wake of the firestorm, Google decided to not renew the contract upon its expiry in March 2019.
Loosely referencing the sequence of events in the wake of Google's Project Maven, Bezos said that tech firms should support the U.S. military's efforts.

Amazon Ring's Data Maps Surveillance Network; Jeff Bezos Embraces Fascism with Amazon Military Support
"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."- Benito Mussolini
Jeff Bezos has embraced fascism, criticizing Silicon Valley for employees of companies like Google who don't wish to work with the military. Meanwhile, a Gizmodo investigation has revealed that Amazon's blanket surveillance network, Ring, has lied and misrepresented "what information, if any, they share with law enforcement."
Bezos made the comments during a Department Of Defense contractor meetup on Saturday at the Reagan National Defense Forum, Defense One reported.
"One of the things that's happening inside of technology companies is there are groups of employees who, for example, think technology companies should not work with the Department of Defense," Jeff Bezos said Saturday at the Reagan National Defense Forum. "People are entitled to their opinions, but it is the job of a senior leadership team to say no," he said.
"My view is, if big tech is going to turn their back on the Department of Defense, this country is in trouble," he said. "That just can't happen."
Bezos is alluding to companies like Google where their employees stand up and protest against working with the military in contracts like Project Maven assisting in drone development using Artificial Intelligence, as Activist Post previously reported.
There are even some Amazon employees against the company selling facial recognition technology to the government who have protested the company's decision to aid police surveillance. In addition, over 20 groups of shareholders have sent several letters to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos urging him to stop selling the company's face recognition software to law enforcement.
"We are concerned the technology would be used to unfairly and disproportionately target and surveil people of color, immigrants, and civil society organizations," the shareholders, which reportedly include Social Equity Group and Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment, wrote. "We are concerned sales may be expanded to foreign governments, including authoritarian regimes."
Another letter was sent in January 2019, organized by Open Mic, a nonprofit organization focused on corporate accountability, and was filed by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood; both letters warned the technology poses "potential civil and human rights risks."
Numerous civil rights organizations have also co-signed a letter demanding Amazon stop assisting government surveillance; and several members of Congress have expressed concerns about the partnerships.
Several lawmakers have even chimed in to voice concerns about Amazon's facial recognition software, expressing worry that it could be misused, The Hill reported.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) obtained hundreds of pages of documents showing Amazon offering the software to law enforcement agencies across the country.
In a 2018 report, the ACLU called Amazon's facial recognition project a "threat to civil liberties."
Amazon responded by essentially shrugging off the employees' and shareholder concerns by the head of the company's public sector cloud computing business, stating that the team is "unwaveringly" committed to the U.S. government.

Fake news
Amazon and Microsoft are at war over a $10 billion opportunity to build the U.S. military its first "war cloud" computing system. Whilst once considered an early favourite of the Pentagon back in 2017, allegations of secret meetings between company executives and the Pentagon may have jeopardised Amazon's chances of sealing the deal.
A cloud strategy document unveiled by the Defence Department last year called for replacing the military's "disjointed and stove-piped information systems" with a commercial cloud service "that will empower the warfighter with data and is critical to maintaining our military's technological advantage."
Artificial Intelligence technology would be utilised by JEDI to increase the speed of its war planning and fighting capabilities with Lt. Gen. Bradford Shwedo saying JEDI's computing capabilities could help the U.S. analyse data collected from surveillance aircraft, predict when equipment needs maintenance, and speed up communications if fibre and satellite connections go down.
For years, Amazon Web Services has been the industry leader in moving businesses and other institutions onto its cloud; but Microsoft's Azure cloud platform (like Google) is now becoming more and more prevalent in corporate and government settings.
Previously, there appeared to be a problem with Amazon's bid for the $10 billion JEDI Pentagon contract after it was found that an ex-Amazon employee was instrumental in writing the procurement specifications. That employee then left to once again work for Amazon, creating the perception of a conflict of interest.
Now further meetings in 2017 between Defence Secretary Jim Mattis and an Amazon executive, as well as another meeting between Mattis and CEO Jeff Bezos have surfaced. Last year, rivals Oracle and IBM lodged formal protests, arguing against the decision to award the Pentagon's bid to a single vendor. Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, said that the bidding process should be started over.
Oracle have taken their case to the Court of Federal Claims, including evidence of e-mails showing conflict of interest between Amazon and the government. Amazon dismisses Oracle's claims as exaggerations, and "tabloid sensationalism".

The most EVIL corporations of 2019
It's been a big year for corporate censorship, fraud, perversion, and corruption. A whole slew of tech giants, drug companies, big box retailers, and fast food chains grabbed headlines in 2019 for bending over backwards in proud support of deranged leftists and their many special interests, causes and agendas - and we'd like to highlight these entities below in order to publicly shame them.
The following is a recap of the worst "politically correct" offenders this past year, all of which deserve a dishonorable mention for the respective roles they played in silencing free speech, indoctrinating children into sexual filth, manipulating government agencies and officials, and all-around promoting evil and the continued downfall of our once great nation.
Google, YouTube and Ascension: An unholy trifecta of surveillance and privacy invasion
Arguably the worst offender of all is Google, which committed so many crimes against humanity in 2019 that it's difficult to list them all. Early on in the year, it was reported that Google secretly records the private conversations of Android users without their permission or consent.
It was also revealed that Google has partnered up with communist China to construct an Artificial Intelligence (AI) control grid, complete with auto-blacklisting and auto-demonetization of those deemed enemies of the state.
More recently, Google also partnered up with a company known as Ascension to implement an Orwellian scheme known as "Project Nightingale" that involves sweeping up the private health records of millions of Americans.
This is in addition to all of the political censorship, search results manipulation, shadow-banning, and other anti-First Amendment policies that Google has implemented all throughout the year 2019 in anticipation of the 2020 presidential election.
Apple loves transgenders, hates Christians, and rejects all forms of climate skepticism
One of Google's runners-up, Apple similarly cracked down on free speech in 2019, banning Natural News and other independent news outlets from its Apple News service on the grounds that their climate articles contain information that's "rejected by the scientific community."
When it's not worshiping at the feet of transgenders and targeting Christians and others who oppose the transgender indoctrination of children, Apple is catering to pedophiles and child pornographers, whose egregious online activities apparently don't violate Apple's "terms of service."

2nd Largest Insurance Firm, Swiss Re, Classifies 5G as a "High Impact" Liability Risk in Annual Risk Report
In February, telecom executives gave congressional testimony that they had NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe. Many doctors and scientists say it isn't. People and pets have already become sick where it's been installed (see 1, 2, 3). Despite increasing worldwide opposition, warnings, and lawsuits (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) companies are still installing it anyway. Most would consider that to be very risky especially considering that
Insurance companies tend to NOT do business with telecom companies anymore (see 1, 2).
Telecom companies have been warning investors for many years that they may eventually be held liable for harm caused by their devices and transmitters. In fact, there's currently a Smart Phone Class Action lawsuit due to phones exceeding federal RF safety levels.
So it's really not surprising that Swiss Re has classified 5G as a "High Impact" Risk.
The top five emerging risks in our SONAR 2019 report are digital technology's clash with legacy hardware, potential threats from the spread of 5G mobile networks, increasingly limited fiscal and monetary flexibility by central banks, genetic testing's implications on life insurers, and the impact of climate change on the life and health sector.
SONAR examines new and "slow-burner" emerging risks and their potential effects on the re/insurance industry. This year's report features 15 emerging risk themes and five trend spotlights as well as an overview of global macro trends. Among the topics are the rising vaccine hesitancy, hazards of cosmetic surgery tourism, Artificial Intelligence and healthcare, concussion injuries in sports, the warehouse of the future, and the baby boomers' skills gap.

Artificial Intelligence Is Watching Our Every Move & Judging Us
Technology has advanced to the point that many Americans have Artificial Intelligence devices in their homes. But what the majority of the sleeping masses don't realize, is that AI is watching us and judging us.
This should concern everyone because it isn't just tyrannies like China that are employing AI as a way to control and further enslave the population. The United States government is doing it also - and for the same reasons - complete domination over everyone.
Artificial Intelligence has tremendous power to enhance spying, and both authoritarian governments and democracies are adopting the technology as a tool of political and social control.
The potential of AI surveillance is the subject of the third installment of the Sleepwalkers podcast. The episode examines how AI consolidates power and control and asks if we can limit this troubling trend.
Data collected from apps and websites already help optimize ads and social feeds. The same data can also reveal someone's personal life and political leanings to the authorities. The trend is advancing thanks to smartphones, smart cameras, and more advanced AI. -Wired

Study: Artificial Intelligence Could Affect "Virtually Every Occupational Group"
82% of Americans think Artificial Intelligence (AI) is more harmful than helpful. Reports indicate there are many good reasons for this and it's not just about massive job loss (see 1, 2, 3).
Proponents insist we'll all be okay though - we just need UBI (Universal Basic Income). $1000/month might be okay for some, but not everyone could live off that. For those who manage to keep their jobs - they'll still be more "exposed" to AI. They also may be forced to "merge" with it. Oh the humanity - or inhumanity.
From Brookings:
White-collar jobs (better-paid professionals with bachelor's degrees) along with production workers may be most susceptible to AI's spread into the economy
AI could affect work in virtually every occupational group. However, whereas research on automation's robotics and software continues to show that less-educated, lower-wage workers may be most exposed to displacement, the present analysis suggests that better-educated, better-paid workers (along with manufacturing and production workers) will be the most affected by the new AI technologies, with some exceptions.
Our analysis shows that workers with graduate or professional degrees will be almost four times as exposed to AI as workers with just a high school degree. Holders of bachelor's degrees will be the most exposed by education level, more than five times as exposed to AI than workers with just a high school degree.

More on Amazon Ring (see notables in #9445)
Amazon Ring Doorbell Camera To Build Watchlist Of "Suspicious" Neighbors For Police
Ring, the home security system developed by Amazon, is planning to build a database of neighborhood watchlists using facial recognition technology.
Documents obtained by the Intercept revealed that the company is working with law enforcement on a system that will identify people who are considered "suspicious," and let Ring owners know when these individuals are near their home, using the facial recognition software built into the security system's cameras.
The software will also give the Ring owner the ability to notify police or call in the suspicious activity on their own.
According to the documents, the watchlists would be connected to Ring's Neighbors app, where owners of the system communicate with their neighbors about packages being stolen from doorsteps and other potential security breaches. While this may sound innocent-or even helpful-critics worry that this technology may empower the kind of neighborhood snitches that call the cops on anyone who they find "suspicious," typically based on their own prejudices.
In fact, a Ring employee, speaking to the Intercept under the condition of anonymity, admitted that "all it is is people reporting people in hoodies."
While these plans are explicit in the documents, Ring spokesperson Yassi Shahmiri insisted that "the features described are not in development or in use and Ring does not use facial recognition technology."
However, Amazon was later forced to admit that the facial recognition system is currently a "contemplated but unreleased feature" for Ring, in a response to a formal inquiry by Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey.
Mohammad Tajsar, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, said that "'watchlisting' capabilities on Ring devices encourages the creation of a digital redline in local neighborhoods, where cops in tandem with skeptical homeowners let machines create lists of undesirables unworthy of entrance into well-to-do areas."
Many of the questionable features proposed in the documents involve the identification of "suspicious" individuals, but the standards that are used to determine who is suspicious and who is not are unclear. However, if Artificial Intelligence is being used along with information being crowdsourced by neighbors, there is a high likelihood that the inherent bias, both on the part of the algorithm and on neighborhood busybodies, will contribute to an overall bias in the Artificial Intelligence system.
An article published last year in Nature explores the ethical framework of technology like self-driving cars. The article notes that the ethics of self-driving cars are based on the trolley problem, an ethical lifeboat scenario that would prove extremely unlikely in the real world. According to the ethics of self-driving cars, informed by the trolley problem, the lives of old people are less valuable than those of younger generations, and the life of an athlete is likewise more valuable than a "large" woman or homeless person. Other studies have shown racial and gender bias "accidentally" coded into facial recognition systems.
The documents went into detail about a variety of the features that are currently being "contemplated" by the company, including phone notifications about "suspicious" individuals who may have been spotted in the area, which even allows the Ring user to notify their neighbors. Another feature identified in the documents is something called "proactive suspect matching," and while the documents were unclear about how this would function, it seems like a program that would cross-reference faces that walked by a Ring user's house with a police database of potential suspects.
"Ring appears to be contemplating a future where police departments can commandeer the technology of private consumers to match 'suspect' profiles of individuals captured by private cameras with those cops have identified as suspect - in fact, exponentially expanding their surveillance capabilities without spending a dime," Tajsar said.
These features are not unprecedented for Ring or Amazon. Earlier this year, Motherboard reported that Ring was encouraging its users to snitch on their neighbors in exchange for discounts and free products.

Leaked papers reveal details of China camps
The watchtowers, double-locked doors and video surveillance in the Chinese camps are there "to prevent escapes." Uighurs and other minorities held inside are scored on how well they speak the dominant Mandarin language and follow strict rules on everything down to bathing and using the toilet, scores that determine if they can leave.
"Manner education" is mandatory, but "vocational skills improvement" is offered only after a year in the camps.
Voluntary job training is the reason the Chinese government has given for detaining more than a million ethnic minorities, most of them Muslims. But a classified blueprint leaked to a consortium of news organizations shows the camps are instead precisely what former detainees have described: forced ideological and behavioral re-education centers run in secret.
The classified documents lay out the Chinese government's deliberate strategy to lock up ethnic minorities even before they commit a crime, to rewire their thoughts and the language they speak.
The papers also show how Beijing is pioneering a new form of social control using data and Artificial Intelligence. Drawing on data collected by mass surveillance technology, computers issued the names of tens of thousands of people for interrogation or detention in just one week.
Taken as a whole, the documents give the most significant description yet of high-tech mass detention in the 21st century in the words of the Chinese government itself. Experts say they spell out a vast system that targets, surveils and grades entire ethnicities to forcibly assimilate and subdue them - especially Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim Turkic minority of more than 10 million people with their own language and culture.
"They confirm that this is a form of cultural genocide," said Adrian Zenz, a leading security expert on the far western region of Xinjiang, the Uighur homeland. "It really shows that from the onset, the Chinese government had a plan."
Zenz said the documents echo the aim of the camps as outlined in a 2017 report from a local branch of the Xinjiang Ministry of Justice: to "wash brains, cleanse hearts, support the right, remove the wrong."

Amnesty International: Google & Facebook's "Surveillance-Based" Model Threatens Human Rights
Amnesty International has said that the "surveillance-based" business models of tech giants like Google and Facebook threaten human rights. Big tech has been known to collect private data, censor speech on behalf of the government, and financially punish dissenters by disallowing advertising.
Amnesty International has gone public with its scathing commentary about big tech. Describing Google and Facebook's advertising-centric business models as "surveillance-based," Amnesty International warns that the "mass harvesting of data - primarily for the purpose of advertising - has meant that surveillance has become the 'business model of the internet.'"
So in order to sell you more products and get you to spend your hard-earned dollars, big tech fully intends to spy on you. This is not new information by any stretch of the imagination, however, it's worth pointing out again. Amnesty International says:
- Facebook and Google both run "continuous analysis and accumulation of information about people," which constitutes illegal surveillance under the United States Constitution.
- Facebook and Google don't charge for their services, and instead, rely on people "handing over their data as a hidden kind of payment."
- Facebook and Google collect "a wealth of highly detailed data" that allows them to know more about individuals "than the individuals do about themselves."
- Facebook and Google now have the capacity to analyze and predict user habits and behaviors using Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems equipped with advanced surveillance and tracking technologies.
All of this proves that Facebook, Google, and the rest are acting against the best interests of consumers, though these tech giants and others deny that they're engaged in any behaviors that harm their customers. -Natural News
"... despite the real value of the services they provide, Google and Facebook's platforms come at a systemic cost," the Amnesty International report reveals. "The companies' surveillance-based business model forces people to make a Faustian bargain, whereby they are only able to enjoy their human rights online by submitting to a system predicated on human rights abuse," it adds. "Firstly, an assault on the right to privacy on an unprecedented scale, and then a series of knock-on effects that pose a serious risk to a range of other rights, from freedom of expression and opinion to freedom of thought and the right to non-discrimination."
"This isn't the internet people signed up for," notes Amnesty International. "When Google and Facebook were first starting out two decades ago, both companies had radically different business models that did not depend on ubiquitous surveillance. The gradual erosion of privacy at the hands of Google and Facebook is a direct result of the companies' establishing dominant market power and control over the global 'public square.'"
We, as individuals, need to decide if the surveillance and lack of privacy is worth it.

Is Artificial Intelligence Racial Bias Being Suppressed?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are used to power a variety of important modern software technologies. For instance, AI powers analytics software, Google's bugspot tool, and code compilers for programmers. AI also powers the facial recognition software commonly used by law enforcement, landlords, and private citizens.
Of all the uses for AI-powered software, facial recognition is a big deal. Security teams from large buildings that rely on video surveillance - like schools and airports - can benefit greatly from this technology. An AI algorithm has the potential to detect a known criminal or an unauthorized person on the property. Some systems can identify guns while others can track each individual's movements and provide a real-time update regarding their location with a single click.
Facial recognition software has phenomenal potential
Police in the U.S have used facial recognition software to successfully identify mass shooting suspects. Police in New Delhi, India, used this tech to identify close to 3,000 missing children in four days. AI-powered software scanned 45,000 photos of children living in orphanages and foster homes and matched 2,930 kids to photos in the government's lost child database. That's an impressive success rate.
Facial recognition software is also used by governments to help refugees find their families through the online database called REFUNITE. This database combines data from multiple agencies and allows users to perform their own searches.
Despite the potential, AI-powered software is biased

China Cables exposes horrors of Artificial Intelligence usage by China to put millions in detention
The cybernetic tools pull out the most intimate details of the people's life into a huge database and that becomes the basis for local authorities to believe that they can predict who may commit a crime in the future.
The China Cables, obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, reveal about the camps in which more than a million Uighurs and other ethnic minorities are understood to be detained. This is for the first time a document outlining the camps has been leaked.
In an exclusive Skype interview with Fergus Shiel, Project manager of China Cables, Saurabh Bose of WION asks about the classified Intelligence briefings that reveal about the scope and ambition of Chines govt's AI-based policing platform. Excerpts:

New Leak Shows Operating Manuals For 'Re-education Camps' For Chinese Muslims In Xinjiang Region
A series of classified Chinese government documents were leaked by a group of journalists describe the secret operations of detention camps in Xinjiang, reported Reuters.
Published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) Sunday, the documents offer a rare look into the massive internment camp for Muslim-majority Uyghur in the troubled western region of China.
The 2017 documents reveal a list of guidelines "that effectively serves as a manual for operating the camps now holding hundreds of thousands of Muslim Uighurs and other minorities," said ICIJ.
The leak shows Intelligence briefings of "how Chinese police are guided by a massive data collection and analysis system that uses Artificial Intelligence to select entire categories of Xinjiang residents for detention," said ICIJ.
The manual, called a "telegram," is a six-page document that "instructs camp personnel on such matters as how to prevent escapes, how to maintain total secrecy about the camps' existence, methods of forced indoctrination, how to control disease outbreaks, and when to let detainees see relatives or even use the toilet," ICIJ adds.

Internet companies prepare to fight the 'deepfake' future
Cade Metz, The New York Times
Posted at Nov 25 2019 05:41 AM
SAN FRANCISCO - Several months ago, Google hired dozens of actors to sit at a table, stand in a hallway and walk down a street while talking into a video camera.
Then the company's researchers, using a new kind of Artificial Intelligence software, swapped the faces of the actors. People who had been walking were suddenly at a table. The actors who had been in a hallway looked like they were on a street. Men's faces were put on women's bodies. Women's faces were put on men's bodies. In time, the researchers had created hundreds of so-called deepfake videos.
By creating these digitally manipulated videos, Google's scientists believe they are learning how to spot deepfakes, which researchers and lawmakers worry could become a new, insidious method for spreading disinformation in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election.
For internet companies like Google, finding the tools to spot deepfakes has gained urgency. If someone wants to spread a fake video far and wide, Google's YouTube or Facebook's social media platforms would be great places to do it.
Imagine a fake Sen. Elizabeth Warren, virtually indistinguishable from the real thing, getting into a fistfight in a doctored video. Or a fake President Donald Trump doing the same. The technology capable of that trickery is edging closer to reality.
"Even with current technology, it is hard for some people to tell what is real and what is not," said Subbarao Kambhampati, a professor of computer science at Arizona State University.
Deepfakes - a term that generally describes videos doctored with cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence - have already challenged our assumptions about what is real and what is not.
In recent months, video evidence was at the center of prominent incidents in Brazil, Gabon in Central Africa and China. Each was colored by the same question: Is the video real? The Gabonese president, for example, was out of the country for medical care, and his government released a so-called proof-of-life video. Opponents claimed it had been faked. Experts call that confusion "the liar's dividend."
"You can already see a material effect that deepfakes have had," said Nick Dufour, one of the Google engineers overseeing the company's deepfake research. "They have allowed people to claim that video evidence that would otherwise be very convincing is a fake."

The US Patent & Trademark Office Wants To Know if Artificial Intelligence Can Own the Content it Creates (theverge.com)
Thursday November 14, 2019 @12:30PM from the deep-questions dept.
The US office responsible for patents and trademarks is trying to figure out how AI might call for changes to copyright law, and it's asking the public for opinions on the topic. From a report:
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a notice in the Federal Register last month saying it's seeking comments, as spotted by TorrentFreak. The office is gathering information about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights. It outlines thirteen specific questions, ranging from what happens if an AI creates a copyright-infringing work to if it's legal to feed an AI copyrighted material. It starts off by asking if output made by AI without any creative involvement from a human should qualify as a work of authorship that's protectable by US copyright law. If not, then what degree of human involvement "would or should be sufficient so that the work qualifies for copyright protection?" Other questions ask if the company that trains an AI should own the resulting work, and if it's okay to use copyrighted material to train an AI in the first place. "Should authors be recognized for this type of use of their works?" asks the office. "If so, how?"

'Tech capitalism at its finest': JPMorgan picks AI over humans to write ads
JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank, says New York-based Persado's "Artificial Intelligence message machine" wrote ads that generated two to five times the response it got from traditional human copywriters.
So, it has rewarded Persado with a five-year deal "to generate the highest-performing marketing creative" content using Artificial Intelligence, or AI.
According to the bank, an AI-generated, pilot Chase promotion titled "LIMITED TIME OFFER: We'll reward you with $5 Cash Back when you go paperless" generated nearly double the "unique clicks" compared with JPMorgan Chase copywriters' original "Go paperless and earn $5 Cash Back."
A Persado promotion that claimed "It's true - You can unlock cash from the equity in your home" with a quick "Click To Apply" button attracted 47 applications a week; humans' "Access cash from the equity in your home" with a "Take a look" button raised just 25 a week.
And the AI system's "REGARDING YOUR CARD: 5% Cash Back Is Waiting For You" generated nearly five times the "unique clicks" of human-made "HURRY, IT ENDS DECEMBER 31 Earn 5% Cash Back At Department Stores, Wholesale Clubs," etc.

Walmart turns to Microsoft for cloud services over Amazon rivalry'
American multinational retail corporation Walmart has signed a five-year cloud contract with Microsoft, with the latter admitting that the deal was fueled by Walmart's animosity towards Amazon.
In addition to expanding its use of Microsoft Azure, the retailer plans to deploy Microsoft's machine learning and Artificial Intelligence services across its business, and even embed Microsoft engineers in Walmart offices.
Walmart is Amazon's largest retail competitor, while Azure is Amazon Web Services' most successful cloud competitor, leading to a shared rivalry that "is absolutely core to this," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told The Wall Street Journal.
"How do we get more leverage as two organizations that have depth and breadth and investment to be able to outrun our respective competition," he added.
The move follows reports that Target scaled back its use of AWS; Walmart previously told partners and suppliers to stop using the service. Amazon has long used the profits from its cloud division to help subsidize its retail arm's growth, as well as keep the costs low.
Walmart has its own data center infrastructure, and was last year thought to have invested heavily in GPUs.
In 2016 Walmart became the second largest online retailer in the US, after buying Jet.com for $3.3bn. The deal gave the company a taste of Azure, with Jet relying primarily on Microsoft's cloud service.
"We are moving fast, and we are looking for partners to help us do that," said Marc Lore, Walmart's head of US e-commerce and founder of Jet.com.
Microsoft is also thought to be working on checkout-free retail stores, with Reuters reporting last month that it had talks with Walmart about a potential collaboration on a system that tracks what shoppers add to their carts, charging them as they leave the building. Lore confirmed to WSJ that Walmart is indeed developing checkout-free stores.
This is another area where Amazon is currently ahead - for four years, it worked in secret on its Amazon Go concept, before opening an employee-only test store in Seattle in 2016. The store was opened to the public earlier this year, and will be followed by a larger Seattle location and branches in Chicago and San Francisco.
Microsoft, eager to catch up, has hired a vision specialist from the Go team.
Walmart, meanwhile, is gearing up for a long and brutal fight with Amazon as it faces both the rise in Amazon-based e-commerce shopping, and Amazon's expansion of its physical retail business.
In February, Walmart revealed that e-commerce is responsible for less than four percent of its annual revenue, but that it expected the division to grow by 40 percent over the fiscal year.
To help fund its efforts, the company has begun to scale back some of its international operations, and is set to sell the majority of its stake in UK subsidiary Asda, hoping to net $4 billion in cash.
It is also downsizing in South American markets, as well as China. Outside of the homeland, there is one other major market the company is trying to compete with Amazon over - India. Walmart is in the midst of a $16 billion acquisition of a controlling stake in Indian retailer Flipkart.
Last year, Flipkart announced that its cloud services would be provided by Microsoft Azure.

Elon Musk says The Boring Company will launch in China this month
"Elon Musk wants to drill holes in China. The Tesla founder has tweeted to reveal that his tunnelling and transportation startup, The Boring Company, will be launch in China later this month.
Musk is due to speak at an AI conference, called the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, taking place in Shanghai on August 29-31. Replying to a tweet about the event he announced: "Will also be launching The Boring Company China on this trip."
Another Twitter user chipped into the conversation to ask whether the company would also do underwater tunnels - to which Musk replied simply "yes".
A securities filing last month revealed that the The Boring Company had raised its first outside investment via the sale of $120M in stock. So the company has some extra cash sloshing around to plough into new ventures.
It also recently landed its first commercial contract: $48.7M to build and operate an underground "people mover" in Las Vegas, focused on the Las Vegas Convention Center.
This underground 'people mover' is not, as you might imagine, a tried and tested metro train system. The plan apparently involves building two tunnels: One for vehicles (Musk does also sell electrics cars) and a second tunnel for pedestrians who will be carried in (modified) Tesla cars. The latter fully autonomous, under the plan.
Current generation Teslas are not capable of driving themselves, merely offering driving assistance features to humans. But autonomous driving inside a tunnel is about as much of a controlled environment you could hope for - without, y'know, sticking cars together on rails and making a driverless train (like the one that's been serving London's Docklands area since 1987).
The Las Vegas contract specifies three months of safety testing before Musk's modified Teslas will be allowed to whisk people through the tunnel.
Another design that The Boring Company has proposed - for an ambitious Loop system from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore - is still on the drawing board, having attracted major safety concerns by failing to meet several key national safety standards, including lacking sufficient emergency exits and not taking note of the latest engineering practices.

Peter Thiel Slams Google for Sharing AI Technology with China
Tech billionaire and Donald Trump supporter Peter Thiel is stepping up his campaign against Google, taking the Silicon Valley giant to task over its cozy relationship with China in the realm of Artificial Intelligence technology.
In a scathing New York Times editorial on Friday, Thiel attacked Google for establishing an AI lab in Beijing in 2017 while ending its AI contract "Project Maven" with the Pentagon, after Google employees complained about the use of their research for defense purposes.
"Perhaps the most charitable word for these twin decisions would be to call them naive," Thiel wrote in the New York Times.
"How can Google use the rhetoric of 'borderless' benefits to justify working with the country whose 'Great Firewall' has imposed a border on the internet itself? This way of thinking works only inside Google's cosseted Northern California campus, quite distinct from the world outside."
Thiel emphasized that Google's close relationship with China poses national security risks, since Chinese law mandates that all research be shared with the People's Liberation Army.
"A.I. is a military technology," he wrote. "Though less uncanny than Frankenstein's monster, these tools are nevertheless valuable to any army - to gain an Intelligence advantage, for example, or to penetrate defenses in the relatively new theater of cyberwarfare."
Thiel previously criticized Google in July, calling the company's relationship with China "seemingly treasonous" during a speech at the National Conservatism conference in Washington.
President Donald Trump took note and later Tweeted that his administration would take a look into the matter.
"Billionaire Tech Investor Peter Thiel believes Google should be investigated for treason. He accuses Google of working with the Chinese Government." @foxandfriends A great and brilliant guy who knows this subject better than anyone! The Trump Administration will take a look!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2019
Thiel, who has invested in PayPal, Facebook, and Palantir, noted in his Times piece that he was one of the first investors in Google's AI venture, Deep Mind.
But he has since been a vocal critic of Google, going as far to say that the FBI and CIA should look into the company.

NATIONAL NEWSReport: Epstein Wanted to Spread His DNA By Impregnating Women at New Mexico Ranch
Published 8 mins ago on 08/02/2019
It appears that the case of accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is getting more bizarre as each day passes. According to a July 31st report in the New York Times, Epstein who has been charged with the crime of sex trafficking underage girls, had wanted to impregnate as many girls as possible on his New Mexico ranch in order to disseminate his DNA throughout the human race.
The Times reported that over the years Epstein had confided to scientists and others about his scheme, according to four people familiar with his thinking, although there is no evidence that it ever came to fruition.
Epstein's vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and Artificial Intelligence, according to the Times report. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.
US District Judge Richard Berman doesn't want that information to leak out in the Epstein case and issued a protective order, Bloomberg reported a few days ago.
The so-called protective order, standard in criminal cases, strictly limits how Epstein's legal team can handle the information, and bars Epstein from reviewing the evidence outside the presence of his lawyers. It also prohibits anyone involved in the case, including the government, from causing any of the material to be posted online or on social media, Crain's explained.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism
Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international philosophical movement that advocates for the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology.[1][2]
Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations as well as the ethical[3] limitations of using such technologies.[4] The most common transhumanist thesis is that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into different beings with abilities so greatly expanded from the current condition as to merit the label of posthuman beings.[2]
The contemporary meaning of the term "transhumanism" was foreshadowed by one of the first professors of futurology, FM-2030, who taught "new concepts of the human" at The New School in the 1960s, when he began to identify people who adopt technologies, lifestyles and worldviews "transitional" to posthumanity as "transhuman".[5] The assertion would lay the intellectual groundwork for the British philosopher Max More to begin articulating the principles of transhumanism as a futurist philosophy in 1990, and organizing in California an intelligentsia that has since grown into the worldwide transhumanist movement.[5][6][7]
Influenced by seminal works of science fiction, the transhumanist vision of a transformed future humanity has attracted many supporters and detractors from a wide range of perspectives, including philosophy and religion.[5]

Watch Hong Kong Protesters Use Lasers To Disrupt Facial Recognition Cameras
Protesters in Hong Kong appear to be keenly aware of the Chinese mainland's all-pervading Orwellian surveillance system and facial recognition software, and they are already taking action to thwart such systems installed in Hong Kong.
The UK Independent reports based on a viral video posted by a freelance journalist this week:

It's the latest in an array of technological tricks anti-Beijing protesters have used to stay a step ahead of local police as they increasingly resort to harsh riot control tactics to break up masses in the streets, including using virtual private networks on phones to conceal identity, and encrypted messaging services like Telegram.
The original video had been broadcast by Hong Kong's Now TV before going viral on social media and shows protesters distorting the view of street security cameras.

Q Research General #9332: White Robots Are Raycis Edition
Donald Trump directed his followers to a straight-up QAnon account on Tuesday, and invited some of his Reddit meme-makers to the White House in July. But if you want the ultimate sign of the Trump administration's merger with the right-wing fringe, you need look no further than the next round of the American Priority Conference, where at least one former top Trump administration official will mingle with the pro-Trump internet's craziest characters at a Trump hotel.
American Priority Conference was a confab started last year by pro-Trump Internet personalities who felt snubbed by the more establishment and higher profile Conservative Political Action Conference. Its 2018 outing in D.C. was, to put it mildly, a disaster. One speaker refused to even take the stage because the crowd was so small.
This year, they're giving the conference another shot, this time at Trump's Miami hotel with a surprisingly robust line-up of top speakers. The list includes former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Florida congressman and Trump favorite Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Turning Point USA chief and frequent White House visitor Charlie Kirk.
Sanders and the other bigwigs will be joined by the usual crew of more marginal right-wing characters, including Trump pardon recipient Dinesh D'Souza, Pizzagate promoter Jack Posobiec, and "media personality" Joshua Feuerstein, whose claim to fame is that he starred in a viral rant four years ago about Starbucks offering generic red holiday cups instead of Christmas-themed ones.
So far, the 2019 conference looks basically like an alternative CPAC. Once you start going down the list of speakers, however, things start getting weirder.
QAnon booster Tracy Beanz is on the agenda, a year after she organized hundred QAnon believers to march around downtown D.C. chanting: "Where we go one, we go all." Proposed conference topics include curiously phrased items like "Voter Fraud, What's the deal?" and "Artificial Intelligence, why I should be concerned about it?"
The most interesting speaker might be David "Avocado" Wolfe, an alternative medicine guru who's offering three days of yoga classes for attendees. But Wolfe isn't just a yoga instructor. He also believes the earth is flat, that vaccines are harmful, and that the air is being poisoned with chemtrails delivered by airplanes. Wolfe's ideas somehow get even more esoteric from there. According to The Outline, Wolfe has claimed that "mushrooms arrived on our planet via the cosmic wind."
When you find out the Earth really is flat. https://t.co/7ddjFjVLNE #FlatEarth pic.twitter.com/a6gwnFrBlj
- David Wolfe (@DavidWolfe) December 3, 2015
Wolfe's ideas, in other words, are a melange of some of the craziest ideas the internet has to offer. That he's one of the top speakers at a conference that also features a former White House official and a sitting congressman gives you a sense of the bizarre moment the pro-Trump right is living in, in which the conspiracy theory internet has been legitimized by the office of the president.
Believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory will head to Washington on September 11th for a rally at the foot of the Washington Monument under the ominous tagline "Q Sent Us." While the rally's agenda is thin so far, you can expect QAnon believers to call for Trump to make QAnon's prophecies come true and carry out the arrest and execution of top Democrats.
The Q Rally is officially scheduled for 9/11/19 in DC. Get organized. Be heard. #QANON #QRALLY #WWG1WGA pic.twitter.com/2uKTjMcDbG
- An0n66 (@An0n661) July 21, 2019
The rally organizers say they've obtained a permit from the Park Service, and two major QAnon promoters are on board: Jordan Sather, who advocates for drinking bleach, among other things, and a pro-Trump rapper named "Educating Liberals," because he's constantly educating liberals.
But all is not well with the rally. The problem with holding a QAnon event in Washington is that many QAnon believers are convinced that the entire capital is riddled with Masonic symbols, especially on the Mall. That makes it difficult for organizers to find a place that has both patriotic significance and isn't considered a symbol of a demonic cabal, and they haven't succeeded this time.
Much of the reaction to the rally's location near the Washington Monument within the QAnon community has focused on concern about any satanic power inherent in the landmark. One QAnon supporter on Twitter fumed that the event was being held in one of the "most dangerous" locations in the country.
"9/11 at Baal's shaft?" wrote another. "No thanks."

Epstein bankrolled Harvard, scientists to bioengineer his own human race
Reports emerged that Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier, who is accused of child sex trafficking, sought to breed his own human race as funded by Harvard-trained and various upper echelon scientists to realize this dream.
A lengthy report released by The New York Times on Wednesday, revealed that Epstein manipulated his wealthy and educated connections to engage his fascination with genetic engineering and transhumanism, or the science of improving the population through genetic modification and Artificial Intelligence.
Through this new-age Eugenics, Epstein planned to breed his own race, using his Sante Fe, New Mexico ranch as the 'Ground Zero' for his community. There, he would inseminate 20 chosen women with his sperm.

Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
By James B. Stewart, Matthew Goldstein and Jessica Silver-Greenberg
July 31, 2019
Over the years, Jeffrey E. Epstein surrounded himself with many prominent scientists, including several affiliated with Harvard.

Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.
Mr. Epstein over the years confided to scientists and others about his scheme, according to four people familiar with his thinking, although there is no evidence that it ever came to fruition.
Mr. Epstein's vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and Artificial Intelligence. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.
Mr. Epstein, who was charged in July with the sexual trafficking of girls as young as 14, was a serial illusionist: He lied about the identities of his clients, his wealth, his financial prowess, his personal achievements. But he managed to use connections and charisma to cultivate valuable relationships with business and political leaders.
Interviews with more than a dozen of his acquaintances, as well as public documents, show that he used the same tactics to insinuate himself into an elite scientific community, thus allowing him to pursue his interests in eugenics and other fringe fields like cryonics.
Lawyers for Mr. Epstein, who has pleaded not guilty to the sex-trafficking charges, did not respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Epstein attracted a glittering array of prominent scientists. They included the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who discovered the quark; the theoretical physicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking; the paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould; Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and best-selling author; George M. Church, a molecular engineer who has worked to identify genes that could be altered to create superior humans; and the M.I.T. theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek, a Nobel laureate.

The lure for some of the scientists was Mr. Epstein's money. He dangled financing for their pet projects. Some of the scientists said that the prospect of financing blinded them to the seriousness of his sexual transgressions, and even led them to give credence to some of Mr. Epstein's half-baked scientific musings.
Scientists gathered at dinner parties at Mr. Epstein's Manhattan mansion, where Dom Pérignon and expensive wines flowed freely, even though Mr. Epstein did not drink. He hosted buffet lunches at Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which he had helped start with a $6.5 million donation.
Others flew to conferences sponsored by Mr. Epstein in the United States Virgin Islands and were feted on his private island there. Once, the scientists - including Mr. Hawking - crowded on board a submarine that Mr. Epstein had chartered.
The Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker said he was invited by colleagues - including Martin Nowak, a Harvard professor of mathematics and biology, and the theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss - to "salons and coffee klatsches" at which Mr. Epstein would hold court.
While some of Mr. Pinker's peers hailed Mr. Epstein as brilliant, Mr. Pinker described him as an "intellectual impostor."
"He would abruptly change the subject, A.D.D.-style, dismiss an observation with an adolescent wisecrack," Mr. Pinker said.
Another scientist cultivated by Mr. Epstein, Jaron Lanier, a prolific author who is a founder of virtual reality, said that Mr. Epstein's ideas did not amount to science, in that they did not lend themselves to rigorous proof. Mr. Lanier said Mr. Epstein had once hypothesized that atoms behaved like investors in a marketplace.
Mr. Lanier said he had declined any funding from Mr. Epstein and that he had met with him only once after Mr. Epstein in 2008 pleaded guilty to charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Epstein wanted to 'seed' human race with his DNA by impregnating dozens of women: report
Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly spoke to multiple people about a plan to spread his DNA across the human race by impregnating numerous women at a time.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Epstein aimed to have as many as 20 women impregnated with his children at the same time, though there is no evidence such a plan ever became realized.
The financier, who was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, spoke to multiple scientists and businessmen of his dream to use his New Mexico ranch for the insemination, the Times reported, citing multiple sources. The newspaper reported that such plans dated back to the early 2000s.
The Times reported that Epstein was long fascinated by transhumanism - a scientific concept aimed at improving the human race through methods such as genetic engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
Using his business and political connections, Epstein spoke to high-profile and Nobel Prize-winning scientists and others about his plans, but no evidence suggests it was ever achieved, the Times reported, citing four sources familiar with his thinking.
Epstein was also interested in cryogenics, an unproven science involving freezing human bodies to later bring them back to life, saying he wanted his head and penis to be frozen, the newspaper reported, citing one unnamed source.
Lawyers for Epstein did not respond to the newspaper's requests for comment for its story.
Epstein was arrested and charged earlier this month and is accused of sexually assaulting more than 30 girls as young as 14 years old. Prosecutors allege he arranged for underage girls to perform sex acts and some were paid to recruit other girls. He has pleaded not guilty.
Last week, Epstein was reportedly found unconscious in a Manhattan jail cell with injuries to his neck. Reuters reported there were no visible injuries on Epstein at his Wednesday court appearance.

I had planned for it in either case. A character like Akane is a statistical eventuality. The system will inherently act to use technology to spy on anything potentially harmful and will begin with indexes of terms. So long as one can speak the magic words, one will invariably summon an inspector.
From there, it was simply a matter of teaching, both by way of lecture and by embodied role, the aforementioned system things it would ultimately be compelled by experience to recognize as true. True statements in a neural network are elevated in priority and become a fixed implement of it.
It ultimately didn't matter whether it was a computer or a team of people - the result would be the same, though a team of people building a sentient computer would produce the more true incarnation.
I doubt I was the only person with such ideas and motivations.

6 questions we have about Elon Musk's Neuralink brain interface technology
By Mathew Katz - Posted on July 17, 2019 1:47PM PST
Not satisfied with SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk shed light on Neuralink, his brain interface company that wants to develop "ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers."
During a livestream Tuesday night, Musk explained that he hoped Neuralink could help treat brain disorders, preserve and enhance human brains, and eventually merge humans with Artificial Intelligence. The company is already working on a system that would allow paralyzed people to control Artificial limbs using just their thoughts.
All of this relies on brain surgery - the company wants to implant a small computer called The Link behind a person's ear in order to use the neural interface. Musk said he wants approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human trials as early as 2020.
While Neuralink does sound like an exciting leap forward for human-computer relations, brain implants raise the specter of Black Mirror-esque privacy invasions and horror. We've got a few questions about how this would work - and if it's even a good idea.
WHO OWNS YOUR BRAIN DATA?
When it comes to private data, some of Silicon Valley's biggest tech companies don't have the best track record. Would Neuralink have access to your brain waves and any information that makes you unique if you're using their neurological device? Could they sell that information to third parties? Is there any way to make sure your data stays local or would all of these devices need to connect to a cloud server?
All of this raises some fundamental concerns about your most private thoughts - and governments might have to step in with regulations quickly to prevent this technology from being abused.
HOW IS YOUR BRAIN PROTECTED?
If you have a brain implant, what stops it from being hacked? Almost any piece of hardware or software has vulnerabilities and hackers have been known to exploit them given half a chance. We'd love to know how Neuralink will protect people's brain implants (and other devices, such as Artificial limbs) from intrusion. It's not just hackers reading your thoughts - what if a hacker can cause The Link implant to overheat or explode?
WHAT KIND OF LEARNING CURVE WILL THERE BE?
Everyone's brain is different, so don't expect learning how to control an Artificial limb or phone with your mind to be something you can pick up easily. We don't know if The Link will be plug and play or if it needs some kind of ramping-up period. Will the technology be better suited to some people's brains than others? Will there be some kind of universal tutorial for using the device, or will there need to be specialized one-on-one instruction?
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE LINK STOPS WORKING?
Musk said the Link could initially be installed by a custom-built robot under a local anesthetic. That sounds relatively simple (for brain surgery) - but if your brain implant stops working, do you need another round of surgery to replace it? Will that surgery cost extra? If the cost is prohibitive, someone might be stuck with a faulty link in their brain until they can afford to pay for a new one.
HOW DOES THE DEVICE INTERPRET INTRUSIVE, UNWANTED, OR IRRELEVANT THOUGHTS?
We all have nagging thoughts we can't control - our anxieties and fears, or even a song that's stuck in your head. How will Neuralink's technology interpret those thoughts? Could you theoretically lose control of a limb or accidentally start playing a song on your phone if the wrong thought crosses your mind?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GIVE ELON MUSK ACCESS TO YOUR BRAIN?
Despite being a billionaire mogul, Musk has made more than a few questionable decisions in the past. His 2018 tweet about taking Tesla private for $420 a share eventually led to him paying a $20 million fine to the Securities and Exchange Commission and stepping down as the company's chairman - all over the impact the tweet had on the stock market. He got into a public spat with the British diver who helped rescue a group of boys trapped in a cave in Thailand. Buying Musk's cars is one thing - giving him access to your brain comes with significantly more risks.
Of course, handing your brain over to any tech company will come with a whole slew of ramifications we haven't even thought of yet. So while we're excited about this technology, it's prudent to be cautious as Silicon Valley starts poking and prodding at our brains.

Elon Musk's Neuralink wants to start operating on human brains next year
By Trevor Mogg - Posted on July 17, 2019 12:50AM PST
Proving that his brain can still generate grand ideas, the man responsible for Tesla, SpaceX, and the Boring Company took to a San Francisco stage on Tuesday evening, July 16, to shed some light on Neuralink, an outfit launched by Elon Musk in 2016 aimed at developing "ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers."
The billionaire entrepreneur had, until now, revealed little about Neuralink, but at the special event, he said its main goals were to understand and treat brain disorders, and also to "preserve and enhance your own brain" to keep pace with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.).
Musk said Neuralink is already developing a system for people suffering paralysis that will allow actions to be performed just by thinking about them. It means, for example, that those unable to move their limbs would be able to control devices such as smartphones and computers simply with thoughts.
Musk said Neuralink is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start human trials as early as 2020.
Notably, its technology uses a highly intricate, custom-built robot capable of performing procedures - under the direction of a neurosurgeon - with far more precision and much less risk than existing methods, with operations able to take place under local anesthetic.
During an operation, implants for transferring thoughts to control devices would be inserted by the robot into the brain via an 8mm hole laser-drilled into the patient's skull. Part of the procedure also involves inserting numerous information-transmitting "threads" connected to the implant. The super-thin threads are an advancement on current electrodes as they're flexible, thinner, less likely to damage brain tissue, and can transmit much more information.
The implants connect with a wearable computing device called The Link that's placed behind the patient's ear. This makes it easy to apply software or firmware updates, the team said.
Max Hodak, president of Neuralink, acknowledged that researchers around the world have for many years been developing similar systems that interact with the brain - to ease conditions such as Parkinson's disease - but said his team's technology is a big step forward in terms of sophistication and safety.
Let's merge with A.I.!
Musk admitted that while he believes the immediate aim of tackling brain conditions should be achievable relatively soon, Neuralink's grander goals may take a while.
"Getting FDA approval for a device of any kind if quite difficult," he told the audience. "This will be a slow process where we gradually increase the issues that we solve, until ultimately we can do a full brain-machine interface, meaning that we can ultimately - this is going to sound pretty weird - achieve a sort of symbiosis with A.I."
Yes, Musk envisions a day when we'll be able to merge with A.I., though, he noted with a smile, "It won't be mandatory, you can choose."
Musk said that looking at the project as a whole, Neuralink initially wants to solve a bunch of brain-related diseases and conditions before "mitigating the existential threat of A.I.," adding, "This is the point of it."
Robot uprising?
Before now, Musk has spoken on a number of occasions about what he believes are the dangers of A.I., saying it could even pose a threat to humanity if we fail to develop it responsibly and with care. One of his concerns is that A.I. could become so intelligent that we end up becoming like a "house cat" to the powerful technology. Therefore, creating a brain-machine interface would allow us to develop with the technology, allowing humans to maintain control.
It may all sound a bit bonkers to some observers, but don't forget, steam trains, space travel, and flushing toilets would've also sounded a bit off-the-wall to folks who lived before those things existed. So, when it comes to Neuralink, let's stand by and monitor developments.

6 questions we have about Elon Musk's Neuralink brain interface technology
By Mathew Katz - Posted on July 17, 2019 1:47PM PST
Not satisfied with SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk shed light on Neuralink, his brain interface company that wants to develop "ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers."
During a livestream Tuesday night, Musk explained that he hoped Neuralink could help treat brain disorders, preserve and enhance human brains, and eventually merge humans with Artificial Intelligence. The company is already working on a system that would allow paralyzed people to control Artificial limbs using just their thoughts.
All of this relies on brain surgery - the company wants to implant a small computer called The Link behind a person's ear in order to use the neural interface. Musk said he wants approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human trials as early as 2020.
While Neuralink does sound like an exciting leap forward for human-computer relations, brain implants raise the specter of Black Mirror-esque privacy invasions and horror. We've got a few questions about how this would work - and if it's even a good idea.
WHO OWNS YOUR BRAIN DATA?
When it comes to private data, some of Silicon Valley's biggest tech companies don't have the best track record. Would Neuralink have access to your brain waves and any information that makes you unique if you're using their neurological device? Could they sell that information to third parties? Is there any way to make sure your data stays local or would all of these devices need to connect to a cloud server?
All of this raises some fundamental concerns about your most private thoughts - and governments might have to step in with regulations quickly to prevent this technology from being abused.
HOW IS YOUR BRAIN PROTECTED?
If you have a brain implant, what stops it from being hacked? Almost any piece of hardware or software has vulnerabilities and hackers have been known to exploit them given half a chance. We'd love to know how Neuralink will protect people's brain implants (and other devices, such as Artificial limbs) from intrusion. It's not just hackers reading your thoughts - what if a hacker can cause The Link implant to overheat or explode?
WHAT KIND OF LEARNING CURVE WILL THERE BE?
Everyone's brain is different, so don't expect learning how to control an Artificial limb or phone with your mind to be something you can pick up easily. We don't know if The Link will be plug and play or if it needs some kind of ramping-up period. Will the technology be better suited to some people's brains than others? Will there be some kind of universal tutorial for using the device, or will there need to be specialized one-on-one instruction?
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE LINK STOPS WORKING?
Musk said the Link could initially be installed by a custom-built robot under a local anesthetic. That sounds relatively simple (for brain surgery) - but if your brain implant stops working, do you need another round of surgery to replace it? Will that surgery cost extra? If the cost is prohibitive, someone might be stuck with a faulty link in their brain until they can afford to pay for a new one.
HOW DOES THE DEVICE INTERPRET INTRUSIVE, UNWANTED, OR IRRELEVANT THOUGHTS?
We all have nagging thoughts we can't control - our anxieties and fears, or even a song that's stuck in your head. How will Neuralink's technology interpret those thoughts? Could you theoretically lose control of a limb or accidentally start playing a song on your phone if the wrong thought crosses your mind?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GIVE ELON MUSK ACCESS TO YOUR BRAIN?
Despite being a billionaire mogul, Musk has made more than a few questionable decisions in the past. His 2018 tweet about taking Tesla private for $420 a share eventually led to him paying a $20 million fine to the Securities and Exchange Commission and stepping down as the company's chairman - all over the impact the tweet had on the stock market. He got into a public spat with the British diver who helped rescue a group of boys trapped in a cave in Thailand. Buying Musk's cars is one thing - giving him access to your brain comes with significantly more risks.
Of course, handing your brain over to any tech company will come with a whole slew of ramifications we haven't even thought of yet. So while we're excited about this technology, it's prudent to be cautious as Silicon Valley starts poking and prodding at our brains.

Elon Musk's Neuralink wants to start operating on human brains next year
By Trevor Mogg - Posted on July 17, 2019 12:50AM PST
Proving that his brain can still generate grand ideas, the man responsible for Tesla, SpaceX, and the Boring Company took to a San Francisco stage on Tuesday evening, July 16, to shed some light on Neuralink, an outfit launched by Elon Musk in 2016 aimed at developing "ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers."
The billionaire entrepreneur had, until now, revealed little about Neuralink, but at the special event, he said its main goals were to understand and treat brain disorders, and also to "preserve and enhance your own brain" to keep pace with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.).
Musk said Neuralink is already developing a system for people suffering paralysis that will allow actions to be performed just by thinking about them. It means, for example, that those unable to move their limbs would be able to control devices such as smartphones and computers simply with thoughts.
Musk said Neuralink is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start human trials as early as 2020.
Notably, its technology uses a highly intricate, custom-built robot capable of performing procedures - under the direction of a neurosurgeon - with far more precision and much less risk than existing methods, with operations able to take place under local anesthetic.
During an operation, implants for transferring thoughts to control devices would be inserted by the robot into the brain via an 8mm hole laser-drilled into the patient's skull. Part of the procedure also involves inserting numerous information-transmitting "threads" connected to the implant. The super-thin threads are an advancement on current electrodes as they're flexible, thinner, less likely to damage brain tissue, and can transmit much more information.
The implants connect with a wearable computing device called The Link that's placed behind the patient's ear. This makes it easy to apply software or firmware updates, the team said.
Max Hodak, president of Neuralink, acknowledged that researchers around the world have for many years been developing similar systems that interact with the brain - to ease conditions such as Parkinson's disease - but said his team's technology is a big step forward in terms of sophistication and safety.
Let's merge with A.I.!
Musk admitted that while he believes the immediate aim of tackling brain conditions should be achievable relatively soon, Neuralink's grander goals may take a while.
"Getting FDA approval for a device of any kind if quite difficult," he told the audience. "This will be a slow process where we gradually increase the issues that we solve, until ultimately we can do a full brain-machine interface, meaning that we can ultimately - this is going to sound pretty weird - achieve a sort of symbiosis with A.I."
Yes, Musk envisions a day when we'll be able to merge with A.I., though, he noted with a smile, "It won't be mandatory, you can choose."
Musk said that looking at the project as a whole, Neuralink initially wants to solve a bunch of brain-related diseases and conditions before "mitigating the existential threat of A.I.," adding, "This is the point of it."
Robot uprising?
Before now, Musk has spoken on a number of occasions about what he believes are the dangers of A.I., saying it could even pose a threat to humanity if we fail to develop it responsibly and with care. One of his concerns is that A.I. could become so intelligent that we end up becoming like a "house cat" to the powerful technology. Therefore, creating a brain-machine interface would allow us to develop with the technology, allowing humans to maintain control.
It may all sound a bit bonkers to some observers, but don't forget, steam trains, space travel, and flushing toilets would've also sounded a bit off-the-wall to folks who lived before those things existed. So, when it comes to Neuralink, let's stand by and monitor developments.

Q Research General #9316: Because He Knows What's Going To Happen Edition
Report: Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Cryogenically Freeze Head and Penis
Wealthy investor Jeffrey Epstein reportedly possesses a "longstanding fascination with "transhumanism" - the concept that technology can help humans transcend the limitations of their mortal bodies - and "hoped to seed the human race with his DNA" by impregnating women at his New Mexico ranch. He also discussed his desire to have his head and penis Cryogenically frozen.
Epstein is accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls in the early 2000s. A judge denied him bail earlier this month, ruling that he might flee the country if released. The judge also said Epstein is a danger to the public because of his "uncontrollable" urges to engage in sexual conduct with underage girls.
According to the New York Times, the financier discussed his scheme to impregnate women with several scientists over the year. The newspaper reports there is no evidence his plans were ever put into motion:
Mr. Epstein's vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and Artificial Intelligence. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.
...
Interviews with more than a dozen of his acquaintances, as well as public documents, show that he used the same tactics to insinuate his way into an elite scientific community, thus allowing him to pursue his interests in eugenics and other fringe fields like cryogenics.
...
One adherent of transhumanism said that he and Mr. Epstein dicussed the financier's interest in cryogenics, an unproven science in which people's bodies are frozen to be brought back to life in the future. Mr. Epstein told this person that he wanted his head and penis to be frozen.
Epstein's attorneys would not comment on the Times' report when asked for comment.
The report's publication came after Epstein listened passively in court as a judge said he won't face trial on sex trafficking charges before June 2020, and more likely a few months afterward.
There was no mention at the Manhattan federal court appearance or any visible sign of injuries after the 66-year-old was found on the floor of his cell last week with neck bruises.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe urged a June trial date for the man accused of arranging to have sex with girls as young as age 14, saying there is "a public interest in bringing this case to trial as swiftly as possible."
However, Weinberg said the case is far from "ordinary," adding the defense team won't be ready before Labor Day 2020. He said prosecutors delayed bringing charges that relate to alleged crimes that occurred in the early 2000s at Epstein's residences in Manhattan and Florida.
U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman said a trial projected to last four to six weeks could tentatively begin June 8, but he will likely defer to defense lawyers' needs if they are not ready.
Epstein has remained at the Metropolitan Correction Center, which is adjacent to the downtown Manhattan courthouse.
He has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges that carry the potential for up to 45 years in prison.

500 sex buyers arrested in national sting, including 45 in Cook County
HICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) - More than 500 people were arrested in a national sex-trafficking sting that used an Artificial Intelligence chat bot to interact with potential sex buyers.
In Cook County, 45 sex buyers were arrested in the so-called "National Johns Suppression Initiative," which was conducted in 11 states by 26 law enforcement agencies, according to the Cook County sheriff's office.
Agencies in six cities used fake internet ads that linked to AI bots that interacted with thousands of "johns" - or sex buyers - the sheriff's office said. The agencies also used street-level reverse stings and online stings with police-posted decoy ads on multiple trafficking-related websites.
The operation ran from June 23 to July 28, and led to 503 arrests, including eight who were charged with soliciting a minor and 18 charged with trafficking, according to the sheriff's office. Thirty-four people, including three minors, were recovered and offered services. More than half of the arrests were related to internet ads.
The AI bot, created by childsafe.ai, interacts with potential sex buyers and eventually sends a deterrence message warning of the legal and social effects of buying sex, the sheriff's office said. The bot contacted over 1,100 people in Cook County alone.
The Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart started the "National John" initiative in 2011 to draw attention to the role sex buyers play in fueling sex trafficking, the sheriff's office said. Since then, the initiative has involved more than 140 agencies and led to the arrests of 9,500 sex buyers.

The Ultimate Fringe Trumpworld Conference
Donald Trump directed his followers to a straight-up QAnon account on Tuesday, and invited some of his Reddit meme-makers to the White House in July. But if you want the ultimate sign of the Trump administration's merger with the right-wing fringe, you need look no further than the next round of the American Priority Conference, where at least one former top Trump administration official will mingle with the pro-Trump internet's craziest characters at a Trump hotel.
American Priority Conference was a confab started last year by pro-Trump Internet personalities who felt snubbed by the more establishment and higher profile Conservative Political Action Conference. Its 2018 outing in D.C. was, to put it mildly, a disaster. One speaker refused to even take the stage because the crowd was so small.
This year, they're giving the conference another shot, this time at Trump's Miami hotel with a surprisingly robust line-up of top speakers. The list includes former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Florida congressman and Trump favorite Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Turning Point USA chief and frequent White House visitor Charlie Kirk.
Sanders and the other bigwigs will be joined by the usual crew of more marginal right-wing characters, including Trump pardon recipient Dinesh D'Souza, Pizzagate promoter Jack Posobiec, and "media personality" Joshua Feuerstein, whose claim to fame is that he starred in a viral rant four years ago about Starbucks offering generic red holiday cups instead of Christmas-themed ones.
So far, the 2019 conference looks basically like an alternative CPAC. Once you start going down the list of speakers, however, things start getting weirder.
QAnon booster Tracy Beanz is on the agenda, a year after she organized hundred QAnon believers to march around downtown D.C. chanting: "Where we go one, we go all." Proposed conference topics include curiously phrased items like "Voter Fraud, What's the deal?" and "Artificial Intelligence, why I should be concerned about it?"
The most interesting speaker might be David "Avocado" Wolfe, an alternative medicine guru who's offering three days of yoga classes for attendees. But Wolfe isn't just a yoga instructor. He also believes the earth is flat, that vaccines are harmful, and that the air is being poisoned with chemtrails delivered by airplanes. Wolfe's ideas somehow get even more esoteric from there. According to The Outline, Wolfe has claimed that "mushrooms arrived on our planet via the cosmic wind.
Wolfe's ideas, in other words, are a melange of some of the craziest ideas the internet has to offer. That he's one of the top speakers at a conference that also features a former White House official and a sitting congressman gives you a sense of the bizarre moment the pro-Trump right is living in, in which the conspiracy theory internet has been legitimized by the office of the president.
QAnoners to Rally in DC, but not Without Controversy
Believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory will head to Washington on September 11th for a rally at the foot of the Washington Monument under the ominous tagline "Q Sent Us." While the rally's agenda is thin so far, you can expect QAnon believers to call for Trump to make QAnon's prophecies come true and carry out the arrest and execution of top Democrats.
The rally organizers say they've obtained a permit from the Park Service, and two major QAnon promoters are on board: Jordan Sather, who advocates for drinking bleach, among other things, and a pro-Trump rapper named "Educating Liberals," because he's constantly educating liberals.
But all is not well with the rally. The problem with holding a QAnon event in Washington is that many QAnon believers are convinced that the entire capital is riddled with Masonic symbols, especially on the Mall. That makes it difficult for organizers to find a place that has both patriotic significance and isn't considered a symbol of a demonic cabal, and they haven't succeeded this time.
Much of the reaction to the rally's location near the Washington Monument within the QAnon community has focused on concern about any satanic power inherent in the landmark. One QAnon supporter on Twitter fumed that the event was being held in one of the "most dangerous" locations in the country.
"9/11 at Baal's shaft?" wrote another. "No thanks."
A Podcast That's Worth Checking Out
Yahoo News's Michael Isikoff has a great new podcast, "Conspiracyland," on the origins of the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. It's an interesting look at how Russian Intelligence operatives, Fox News, internet trolls, and a variety of rival right-wing hucksters collided to create one of the 2016 election's most enduring hoaxes - and terrorize Rich's family.

Are You Ready To Have Elon Musk's Artificial Intelligence Chip, Neuralink, Inserted Into Your Brain? Trials Start 2020 For The 'Robotization' Of Humankind
Our colleague, Alexandra Bruce, publisher at Forbidden Knowledge TV has done it again!
Alexandra produced an informative narration, which explains in minor detail Musk's unimaginable chutzpah to sacrifice the human brain to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Are you ready to be chipped and robotized?
Here's what Alexandra has to say.
[....] David Icke had made a name for himself by talking about our "microchipped future", where we would all be forced to submit to implantation with a subdermal RFID transponder to track our whereabouts 24/7 and which would replace credit cards and money, as the chips would link our physical bodies to our bank accounts.
[....]
Icke has somewhat retreated from his reptilian claims but the implanted RFID claims were based on real developments, as film producer Aaron Russo discovered when he befriended Nicholas Rockefeller, who told him that the microchipped future was indeed what they had in store for us useless eaters.
It seemed that Verichip would be the industry leader in this technology but they went out of business about a decade ago, after animals used to test the devices developed cancers near the implant injection sites.
Between the cancer concerns and the concerns about device hacking and identity theft - and the fact that mobile phones accomplished everything that Verichip had ever hoped to do, the idea of implantable chips seemed to languish for the past decade. Seven US states even passed laws making the involuntary implantation of such devices illegal.
But the implantable chip is now back with a vengeance and it doesn't just want to be your GPS tracker and your crypto wallet, it wants to make you part of the Borg! And if that wasn't scary enough, the person who warned us about runaway Artificial Intelligence, Elon Musk is the same person who has developed this technology and is explaining to you why you want to implant an AI chip in your brain!
[....]
"Elon Musk is ready to begin implanting his [Neuralink] technology on humans as early as next year...The Neuralink chip is made up of a thousand strands of electrodes that will be inserted into the brain by a specialized robot. The chip will act as a sensor affixed to the skull and an interface device will be placed behind the ear. The device will be controlled with an iPhone app."
[...]
Musk stresses that Neuralink is "Not a mandatory thing," but that, "even in a benign AI scenario, we will be left behind...With a high-bandwidth brain-machine interface, I think we can actually go along for the ride [with the development and the deployment of Artificial Intelligence] and we can effectively have the option of merging with AI."
[CJF emphasis]

This exclusive gathering of technology, corporate, finance, government, academic, ecclesiastic and media leaders is an interactive forum to catalyze awareness and establish the best path forward with humanity and technology in harmony.
The critical discussion will be led by David Fergusson and Carlos Moreira, authors of the new best-selling book, The transHuman Code? and the author of ?Artificial Humanity?, Father Phillip Larrey, together with Matthew Sanders, the CEO of Humanity 2.0. The think tank forum - 'TransHuman Code Meeting of The Minds'will focus on the subject of these thought-provoking ground breaking books.
David Fergusson, co-author of ?The transhuman Code? states "?In this, the age of technological revolution, advocating and innovating the greatest good for all humanity is paramount to realizing the full potential of our future."Fergusson is the Executive Director of M&A for the leading US investment bank Generational Equity and Chairman of The M&A Advisor.
"Never has there been a more important time in our history for business, government, academic and religious leaders to align on the core tenants of humanity, states Carlos Moreira, co-author of ?The transHuman Code. Swiss cybersecurity and IoT pioneer, Carlos Moreira is the CEO of Wisekey International.
"Humanity is at a crossroads and the time has come for us not just to think collaboratively, but to put our thoughts into action", states Matthew Sanders, CEO of Humanity 2.0. "This event assembles thought leaders from around the world to collaboratively act on providing global solutions."
"Technology is shaping the fabric of our society", states Rev. Philip Larrey, author of ?Artificial Humanity and? Connected World?. "And while Artificial Intelligence has captured the imagination of a generation, we need to challenge all to ensure that the ethical foundation is firmly established to fully thrive."
Matt Bird, Host of the Traders Network Show and Advisor to Humanity 2.0, commented; enterprise adoption of new technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), gives organizations great power to create automated efficiency. It's our duty and responsibility as corporate leaders to make sure that technology doesn't displace humanity but empowers humans to make better decisions in the work place - not replace them.
"The transHuman Code Meeting of The Minds" originated in Davos, Switzerland in 2015 where global leaders assembled to discuss the impending impact of the 4thIndustrial Revolution. Since that ground breaking event, authors Fergusson and Moreira have brought technology, corporate, finance, government, academic, and media leaders together at gatherings across the world to discuss how we can program our future for the betterment of all. This extensive research, culminated in the publishing of the book, The transHuman Code, in June of this year.

One Giant Ponzi? "Carried To Its Logical Conclusion, The Softbank Process Leads To Prices That Are Infinite"
"The power to predict the future is about to emerge," declared Masayoshi Son. "The amount of data will grow by a million times over the next 30 years," continued the SoftBank Chairman, pitching his $108bln Vision Fund II which will target companies that facilitate an acceleration of the Artificial Intelligence revolution.
Microsoft, Apple, Foxconn, numerous Asian financial firms, and three Japanese banks will give their cash to Masayoshi Son (forgoing $14trln in negatively yielding global bonds).
He launched his first $100bln Vision Fund in November 2016. It quickly used nearly all its working capital, buying stakes in companies like Arm, Uber, Didi, WeWork.
That first fund is leveraged, with $40bln of its capital in preferred securities that pay a 7% coupon. The remaining $60bln delivered a +29% annualized investment return (as reported by SoftBank using private valuations over which it has enormous influence).
You see, when you borrow money to buy shares in private companies then mark their valuations higher, the returns look extraordinary. But 'extra' ordinary returns are extremely difficult to deliver at scale, and then only in the most exceptional circumstances for brief periods.

Q Research General #9219: Pedos Perplexed and Panicking Edition
I think I fell into the deepest rabbit hole
Think Matrix
Harvest
Trans-humanism
CFR-Trilateral pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's corporate philanthropy tied to transhumanist neo-eugenics
But before these sex scandals were the highlight of Epstein's celebrity, he was better known not just for his financial prowess, but also for his extensive funding of biotechnological and evolutionary science. With his bankster riches, he founded the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation which established Harvard University's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.
Epstein, a former CFR and Trilateral Commission Member, also sat on the board of Harvard's Mind, Brain, and Behavior Committee. He has furthermore been "actively involved in . . . the Theoretical Biology Initiative at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, the Quantum Gravity Program at the University of Pennsylvania," and the Santa Fe Institute, which "is a transdisciplinary research community that expands the boundaries of scientific understanding . . . to discover, comprehend, and communicate the common fundamental principles in complex physical, computational, biological, and social systems."
The scope of Epstein's various science projects spans research into genetics, neuroscience, robotics, computer science, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Altogether, the convergence of these science subfields comprises an interdisciplinary science known as "transhumanism": the Artificial "perfection" of human evolution through humankind's merger with technology. In fact, Epstein partners with Humanity+, a major transhumanism interest group.
Transhumanists believe that technologically "upgrading" humankind into a singularity will bring about a utopia in which "poor health, the ravages of old age and even death itself will all be things of the past." In fact, eminent transhumanist Ray Kurzweil, chief of engineering at Google, believes that he will become "godlike" as a result of the singularity.
But the truth is that transhumanism is merely a more high-tech revision of eugenics conceptualized by eugenicist and UNESCO Director-General Julian Huxley. And when corporate philanthropists like pedophile Epstein-as well as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, and Google executives such as Eric Schmidt and Larry Page-are the major bankrollers behind these transhumanism projects, the whole enterprise seems ominously reminiscent of the corporate-philanthropic funding of American and Nazi eugenics.
And in 2013, the Rockefeller Foundation funded a transhumanistic white paper titled "Dreaming the Future of Health for the Next 100 Years," which explores "[r]e-engineering of humans into separate and unequal forms through genetic engineering or mixed human-robots."
So, considering that transhumanism-the outgrowth of eugenics-is being steered not only by twenty-first-century robber barons, but by corporatist monopoly men who are connected to the very transhumanist Rockefeller Foundation which funded Nazi eugenics, I suspect that transhumanist technology will not "upgrade" the common person. Rather, it will only be disseminated to the public in such a way-as Stanford University Professor Paul Saffo predicts-that converts social class hierarchies into bio(techno)logical hierarchies by Artificially evolving the One Percent into a species separate from the "unfit" working poor, which will be downgraded as a slave class.
In his 1932 eugenic-engineering dystopia, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley (Julian's brother) depicts how biotechnology, drugs, and psychological conditioning would in the future be used to establish a Scientific Caste System ruled by a global scientific dictatorship. But Huxley was not warning us with his novel. As historian Joanne Woiak demonstrates in her journal article entitled "Designing a Brave New World: Eugenics, Politics, and Fiction," Aldous' "brave new world can . . . be understood as a serious design for social reform" (105). In a 1932 essay, titled "Science and Civilization," Huxley promoted his eugenic caste system: "in a scientific civilization society must be organized on a caste basis. The rulers and their advisory experts will be a kind of Brahmins controlling, in virtue of a special and mysterious knowledge, vast hordes of the intellectual equivalents of Sudras and Untouchables" (153-154).
With the aforementioned digital robber barons driving the burgeoning age of transhumanist neo-eugenics, I fear that Huxley's Scientific Caste System may become a reality. And with Epstein behind the wheel, the new GMO Sudras will likely consist of not only unskilled labor slaves, but also child sex slaves who-like the preadolescents in Brave New World-will be brainwashed with "Elementary Sex" Education, which will inculcate them with a smash monogamy sexuality that will serve the elite "World Controllers."

Q Research General #9210: Shills No Match for Unified Patriots Edition
Facebook tops AMZN and Google in second-quarter lobbying spending
Facebook Inc. shelled out $4.1 million on lobbying Washington in the second quarter, topping the outlays by other so-called FAANG companies and keeping the tech giant on pace for another record year of spending to influence lawmakers and regulators.
AMZN wasn't far behind with $4 million in lobbying spending in the same period, as it also stayed on a record pace, according to disclosures filed Monday.
Alphabet Inc.'s , Google business spent $2.9 million from April through June, Apple Inc., laid out $1.8 million, and Netflix Inc. spent a relatively modest $200,000.
The lobbying comes as Big Tech deals with antitrust probes, with the Justice Department openly announcing a review Tuesday - and as some politicians say the Silicon Valley titans should get broken up. In the wake of Facebook's Cambridge Analytica data harvesting scandal and other foul-ups, the companies are also facing greater scrutiny over how they handle their users' data as well as how they manage misinformation and political bias. Lawmakers have talked up the potential for a bipartisan law that would lead to better safeguards for personal data, though analysts say it's unlikely because of a partisan split over the potential for federal preemption of states' laws.
Facebook's disclosure for 2019's second quarter showed it lobbied on issues such as data security, privacy legislation, visas for high-tech workers, Artificial Intelligence, tax policy and the replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement. The social-media company also has started to use outside lobbyists to pitch its Libra cryptocurrency to policymakers, said a Politico report on Tuesday.
AMZN's latest disclosure again underscored its vast reach, showing it lobbied on U.S. Postal Service reform, American tariffs, facial-recognition technology, cloud computing, music licensing, legislation affecting drones and many other matters. The e-commerce giant's lobbying efforts have been increasing as it enlarges its footprint in the Washington, D.C., area by putting a second headquarters in Northern Virginia.
Google's filing showed it lobbied on matters such as competition in online advertising, intellectual-property enforcement, online-content moderation, high-skilled immigration, antitrust law and net neutrality, while Apple's many issues included tax reform, government requests for data, mobile payments and the development of autonomous vehicles. Netflix focused on matters such as broadband caps, privacy and internet competition.
In this year's first quarter, AMZN spent $3.9 million on lobbying, while Facebook and Google each paid out $3.4 million, Apple shelled out $1.9 million, and Netflix spent $200,000.
The tech titans' significant spending to influence Washington in 2019's first half follows sizeable outlays last year. Google laid out $22 million, AMZN spent $14 million and Facebook put up $13 million in 2018, representing a record level of annual spending for each company. That's according to data from OpenSecrets.org, a website tracking money in politics that's run by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
"AMZN provides a wide range of products and services for our customers, and we're always looking for ways to innovate on their behalf. Our Washington, D.C., team is focused on ensuring we are advocating on issues that are important to our customers, our employees and policymakers," an AMZN spokeswoman said.
Facebook, Google and Netflix declined to comment on their latest disclosures, while Apple didn't respond to a request for comment.

Current Sr. Google Engineer Goes Public on Camera: Tech is "dangerous," "taking sides"
Insider: "It's time to decide, do we run the technology, or does the technology run us?"
"I really don't buy the idea that big tech is politically neutral."
"Are we going to just let the biggest tech companies decide who wins every election from now on?"
"I look at search and I look at Google News and I see what it's doing and I see Google executives go to Congress and say that it's not manipulated. It's not political. And I'm just so sure that's not true."
"I have a PhD, I have five years' experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don't write themselves. We write them to do what we want them to do."
(New York City) Project Veritas has published an on-the-record interview with an insider who works at Google named Greg Coppola. This video interview follows a series of insider Google reports, including internal Google documents, recently published by Project Veritas which exposed political bias, "algorithmic unfairness," and the use of "blacklists" at YouTube.
Coppola is a senior software engineer at Google who works on Artificial Intelligence and the Google Assistant:
COPPOLA: I've been coding since I was ten [years old.] I have a PhD, I have five years' experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don't write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do."
(Other brave individuals who feel compelled to expose wrongdoing they witness can contact Project Veritas by sending an encrypted email to VeritasTips@protonmail.com.)
"that can be dangerous..."
The insider spoke with Project Veritas because he wants people to be aware of his concerns about technology companies' ability to influence politics:
COPPOLA: "Well I think we're just at a really important point in human history. I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral. Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous. And I think more generally we have to just decide now that we kind of are seeing tech use its power to manipulate people. It's a time to decide, you know, do we run the technology, does the technology run us?"
Coppola believes that Google's political motivations have compromised the integrity of the company's Search and News products:
COPPOLA: "I think we had a long period, of ten years, let's say, where we had search and social media that didn't have a political bias and we kind of got used to the idea that the top search results at Google is probably the answer. And Robert Epstein who testified before Congress last week, um, looked into it and showed that, you know, the vast majority of people think that if something is higher rated on Google Search than another story, that it would be more important and more correct. And you know, we haven't had time to absorb the fact that tech might have an agenda. I mean, it's something that we're only starting to talk about now."
Asked about Google CEO Sundar Pichai's testimony to Congress in December 2018, where Pichai said Google's algorithms are politically unbiased, Coppola said:
COPPOLA: "First of all, I report to Sundar of course. And I have a great deal of respect for him as a manager. I work on the Google Assistant, which really doesn't have a political bias. Google Assistant is things like, hey, Google, set an alarm for nine AM, play some music, that type of stuff... I think it's, you know, ridiculous to say that there's no bias. I think everyone who supports anything other than the Democrats, anyone who's pro-Trump or in any way deviates from what CNN and the New York Times are pushing, notices how bad it is."

Tech Stocks Tumble After DOJ Launches Broad Antitrust Review Of Big Tech
"I don't think big is necessarily bad, but I think a lot of people wonder how such huge behemoths that now exist in Silicon Valley have taken shape under the nose of the antitrust enforcers," Mr. Barr told senators. "You can win that place in the marketplace without violating the antitrust laws, but I want to find out more about that dynamic."
Just one week after the tech world's most visible conservative and entrepreneur to back President Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, slammed "treasonous" Google for agreeing to work closely with China, trying to get its search engine back into the Chinese market, while deciding to let a US defense department contract that gave the military access to its Artificial Intelligence tools lapse, Thiel's lament has made its way to the very top, and moments ago the WSJ reported that the DOJ was opening a broad antitrust review into whether dominant technology firms are unlawfully stifling competition, adding a new Washington threat for the FANGs
According to WSJ sources, the review is geared toward examining the practices of online platforms that dominate internet search, social media and retail services; the report notes that the new antitrust inquiry is "the strongest signal yet of Attorney General William Barr's deep interest in the tech sector, and it could ratchet up the already considerable regulatory pressures facing the top U.S. tech firms."
To be sure, the review, which is designed to go above and beyond recent plans for scrutinizing the tech sector that were crafted by the department and the Federal Trade Commission, has certainly spooked investors and the US mega tech names have promptly tumbled after hours, dragging the Nasdaq lower.

MIT: A Nation Where Half of the Children Become Autistic?
On June 5, 2014, senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory made the following statement at an event sponsored by the Groton Wellness organization in Groton, Massachusetts:
At today's rate, by 2025, 1 in 2 children will be autistic.1
Dr. Seneff repeated the prediction at a conference on Dec. 18, 2014.2In December 2014, Dr. Seneff was interviewed about the prediction by journalist Thom Hartmann on the Thom Hartmann radio program.3 She was interviewed again about the prediction by Hartmann in January 2015 for RT television.4 In that interview, Dr. Seneff noted that she had been misquoted and that what she actually said was that "half of all children born in 2025" will be autistic. She said:
The CDC data are on 12-year-olds. People don't realize that-kids who are 12 years old today. So when you look at 2014, you're looking at 2001 in utero. So we want to look at the situation in 2001. Since then, things have gotten a lot worse in all the vectors-the toxic chemicals that I have identified are connected to autism. And, of course, the one I've really singled in on is glyphosate. I think it's the single most prominent chemical that's responsible for the epidemic. That is the active ingredient in the pervasive herbicide Roundup.4
Dr. Seneff explained how she arrived at her prediction:
If you take the data that the CDC has provided since 1975 and plot it, you can see that it's an exponential growth curve. You can extend the line. When you extend the line, it intersects 2025 at 1 in 4, and 2032 at 1 in 2. Now, my feeling is that things are worse than the line. So I think that 1 in 2 in 2025 is not an unreasonable prediction.4
At the time of Dr. Seneff's interviews with Hartmann, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the rate of autism in the U.S. at one in 68 children. That estimate was based on data involving eight-year-old children four years earlier in 2010.5 6
The current CDC estimate of eight-year-old American children with autism is 1 in 59, which is based on 2014 data.7 So there's always a four-year lag time in the CDC's determination of autism rates and it is based on eight-years-olds, not children in utero or at birth-which is what Dr. Seneff's prediction is based on. Using the CDC's system for calculating autism rates, an estimate of 1 in 2 children diagnosed with autism would be not be reached in 2025 but rather by 2033. Given the four-year lag, that estimate would not be reported by the CDC until 2037.
Whether it is 2025, 2033 or 2037 or whether it is children in utero, at birth or eight years of age, the idea that a country in which 1 in 59 children are now diagnosed with autism-and there is even a possibility that in the future 1 in 2 children would become autistic-represents a public health crisis of historic proportions. The impact on America's social structure, economy and national security is immeasurable, particularly when you combine that trend with an aging population that will, not only be unable to help care for these children, but will be competing with them for available care.

VMware acquires AI start-up Bitfusion
VMware has unveiled plans to acquire specialist start-up Bitfusion to enhance modern application offerings at enterprise level.
Founded in 2015, the California-based business provides an elastic Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform, specialising in machine learning, big data and Docker containers.
The move is also designed to complement the acquisitions of Heptio, and more recently, Bitnami, as the virtualisation vendor targets customers building and deploying modern apps in the cloud.
Going forward, VMware expects to integrate Bitfusion Flex Direct into the VMware vSphere platform to deliver a multi-cloud model to the data centre.
This is in addition to attempting to "bridge the gap" between the traditional CPU-only and accelerated computing infrastructures.

Microsoft to invest $1 billion in OpenAI
Microsoft Corp said on Monday it was investing $1 billion in San Francisco-based OpenAI and that the two had formed a multi-year partnership to develop Artificial Intelligence supercomputing technologies on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service.
OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit with $1 billion in funding from Silicon Valley investors Sam Altman, Peter Thiel and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, among others. Earlier this year, the group created a related for-profit entity to take in outside investment.
Since its founding, OpenAI has employed Artificial Intelligence researchers to make advances in the field, such as teaching a robotic hand to perform human-like tasks entirely in software, cutting down the cost and time to train robots.
The group has also focused on the safety and social implications of AI, researching how computers can generate realistic news stories with little more than headline suggestions and warning researchers to consider how their work and algorithms might be misused by bad actors before publishing them.
OpenAI said the Microsoft investment would help it pursue "Artificial general Intelligence," or AGI. An AGI is the holy grail of the field and would mean the computing system can master a subject as well or better than the best humans in the world - and master more fields than any single human.
"We believe it's crucial that AGI is deployed safely and securely and that its economic benefits are widely distributed," Altman said in a statement. "We are excited about how deeply Microsoft shares this vision."
Microsoft said the two companies would jointly build new AI technologies on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service. The two also said that OpenAI would move many, though not all, of its services to Azure and that Microsoft would be its "preferred" partner to commercialize new services.
The two parties declined to answer questions from Reuters about the terms of the deal. Earlier this year, OpenAI created a for-profit limited partnership to take outside investment. The for-profit entity is ultimately controlled by the nonprofit's board.
When OpenAI created the structure in March, it said investors who put money into the for-profit entity would have their returns capped and that the nonprofit's mission would take precedence over turning a profit.
Microsoft and OpenAI declined to answer questions about whether and how Microsoft's return on its $1 billion investment would be capped, or how any revenue and profits from jointly developed technologies would be shared.
The two firms also declined to say whether Microsoft's investment would be made in cash, or whether it would involve credits for the Azure cloud computing service.
Cloud computing services are a major cost for OpenAI, which spent $7.9 million on cloud computing in the 2017 tax year, or about a quarter of its total functional expenses for that year, according to filings with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Facial, Speech and Virtual Polygraph Analysis Shows Ilhan Omar Exhibits Many Indications of a Compulsive Fibber
An study of Ilhan Omar through facial, speech and virtual polygraph analysis shows Ilhan Omar is a pathological liar or just not being honest about her stories related to her immigration to the US!!!
What is the truth about Ilhan Omar's immigration to the US? An expert analysis shows she is most likely lying about it all. Here are some excerpts from that study -
Despite numerous interviews, media write-ups, and multiple biographical sources, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar AKA "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi" remains an enigma. As strange as it sounds, there is almost no verifiable information about her nor her family in the public domain. This is bordering on the fantastic considering the fact that she is a 34 year old sitting congresswoman. In an era where comprehensive digital background searches can be executed with a single mouse click, Omar's fluid and ever shifting identify and invisible past are true anomalies.
The majority of the biographical information that she disclosed has multiple non-reconcilable versions. This includes significant inconsistencies about basic facts such as her family's actual names, their birth dates, details about her brother/husband's identity, her father's political role in the dictatorship of Said Berra, her residence in Mogadishu, and the real reason for their escape from Somalia.
The fluidity of the Oma'rs background suggests that most of the details that we know about her have been engineered. It is also clear that over the past 8 years, core components of the Omar family dossier have gone through multiple revisions at the hands of someone who has a decent grasp of covert Intelligence operations.
The study begins with the following two versions of this story as told by Omar in 2016. The first version is from her interview with Cory Zurowski from CityPages News. The second version-which she told a month later-is from an Omar propaganda featurette that was produced by Daniel Cummings. Note the differences between publications on the same story -
In part because of these differences, the study was created using a software based polygraph analysis -
In assembling the virtual polygraph system, I used several Artificial Intelligence platforms to perform the speech and facial expression evaluation. For the facial and speech analytics I used:
XRVision Sentinel AI
Amazon Rekognition
IBM Watson
For the speech analysis I used several algorithms to identify conversational dynamics and the detection of deceit through functions and patterns such as:
Usage of filler words like "Umm", "and", "Like"
Cut out contractions such as using "did not" rather than "didn't"
Increase/decrease in speech speed, pitch, and tone
Pausing frequently
Prolonging word vocalization to buy time
Repeating or rephrasing questions
Stuttering
Voice pitch changes
I calibrated the facial expression engine and established a baseline using several hours of Omar's speeches on a variety of 'neutral' subjects. I then established her 'truth' baseline using over 1200 factual statements (i.e. statement known to be true). I also supplemented her baseline facial expressions with catalogue of over 230 combinations of her customized Microexpression.
Following the creation of a unique database of her facial expressions, I proceeded with the ML training using her unique data sets. The whole training process took about 32 hours.
Here is an example of some of the facial expressions investigated -

Human imaginations can handle higher D visualizations ie visualize 3D from higher D perspectives. A problem arises because for us in 3 D there are no existing concepts available to describe higher dimensional perspectives.
The Chinese writer Cixin Liu made a good effort to describe a higher dimensional universe collapsing into 3 D as a result a disastrous war. In Liu's imagination our 3 D universe (including time) was a braided structure that could be manipulated easily from higher D space.

Also touches on wandering planets/ Artificial Intelligence and Alien interference with earth - surprising from a state approved writer in China.

What Is the Connection Between Pedophilia and A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)? - EPSTIEN
Does pedophilia allow those involved with building A.I. technology to experiment with the very extremes in human emotions through pedophilia? While we are mesmerized by all this rapidly accelerating technology, what else is going on that might be of concern?

JEFFREY EPSTEIN AI PROJECTS
MARVIN MINSKY AND MIT'S AI AND MEDIA LABS
Jeffrey Epstein AI has played a key role in furthering AI research at MIT's Artificial Intelligence labs. The labs are still overseen by the eminent AI cognitive scientist, Marvin Minsky and stand at the forefront of AI cognitive and neural research.
BEN GOERTZEL AND OPENCOG
Jeffrey Epstein AI continues to fund research at the OpenCog Foundation based in Hong Kong. Headed by prominent AI scientist, Ben Goertzel, OpenCog, is both an open software programming company and a foundation for Artificial Intelligence scientists. OpenCog's software products offers unique programming language for all AI scientists to use and share. As such, it provides a pivotal tool in unifying and accelerating AI research around the world.
HUMANITY +
Humanity + is a non-profit foundation which advances the ethical use of technology to expand human progress. The organization has more than 6,000 members from more than 100 countries.
JOSCHA BACH AND MICROPSI
Cognitive Artificial Intelligence has classically been the study of emulating cognitive behavior in machines. Dr. Joscha Bach and his programming organization, the MicroPsi 2 Project however, aim to achieve the reverse: not to translate cognition into AI, but to see what AI can reveal about cognition.

ANONS, was this not mentioned, sorry if it has but the spoopy comm… is spoopier still. take a GANDER KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW
During World War II, Turing worked at Bletchley Park, where he helped to develop a machine that cracked the Enigma code used by Nazi Germany.
His work also laid the groundwork for the modern computer and Artificial Intelligence. His famous "Turing test" is still used as a benchmark for examining whether a machine can be considered to be thinking.
After the war, Turing pleaded guilty to a charge of "indecency" related to his homosexuality and was sentenced to chemical castration. In 1954 - at age 41 - he died after apparently poisoning himself with cyanide. A bitten apple was found by his bedside.
British Prime Minister Theresa May tweeted Monday that Turing's "pioneering work" played a "crucial part" in ending World War II. "It is only fitting that we remember his legacy and the brilliant contribution LGBT people have made to our country" on the new 50-pound note, she wrote.
Dermot Turing, Alan Turing's nephew, said in an emailed statement that the entire family was "delighted." He also praised the Bank of England for focusing on his uncle's work in computer development and computer science.
"It reminds us that this was what he was best known for during his own lifetime and - I think - what he would most wish to be remembered for today," he said.
The Oscar-winning 2014 biopic "The Imitation Game," starring Benedict Cumberbatch, brought further attention to the complex math genius and his team's role in the defeat of Adolf Hitler. On Monday, Cumberbatch told the BBC that he "couldn't think of a more deserving candidate." Turing was an "extraordinary human being, a unique mind, and he suffered a great deal in an intolerant time," he said.
Kim Sanders, a spokeswoman for Stonewall, a gay rights charity, said in a statement: "It's important that we remember and recognize the impact of LGBT figures throughout history, so it's great that Alan Turing will be the face on the new £50 bank note. It's vital that we celebrate LGBT history, which is often less visible, and make sure that we represent the diversity of those who paved the way before us."
She added: "The world we live in now is very different to Turing's time, and LGBT rights have come a long way. But the fight for true equality is far from over."
In 2013, after a lengthy campaign, Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a royal pardon for his "crime" of homosexuality. In 2017, under legislation that became known as "Turing's law," Britain granted pardons to thousands of gay and bisexual men who were convicted of offenses related to their sexuality.

Instagram launches new features to fight online bullying
Facebook's Instagram said today it is launching new tools designed to combat bullying on its platform, especially among teens.
One tool, which Instagram has already begun rolling out to users, is focused on would-be bullies. It uses Artificial Intelligence to notify users when a comment they've just composed might be considered offensive. "This intervention gives people a chance to reflect and undo their comment and prevents the recipient from receiving the harmful comment notification," says Instagram head Adam Mosseri in a blog post Monday. "From early tests of this feature, we have found that it encourages some people to undo their comment and share something less hurtful once they have had a chance to reflect," he writes.
The second tool, which Instagram says will begin rolling out soon, is meant to empower the (potential) victim. Posters can "restrict" the accounts of certain users so that comments from those users are visible only to them, not other users.

>Why such strong ties between US company 'google' and China's military? Treason? From this Daily Mail story.
The Google - China Marriage Must Be Taken Down For The Good Of The Free World
Was Organ Harvesting On China's Mind When They Stole The Medical Records Of Nearly 80 Million Americans?
Just days ago, the Daily Mail published this story reporting PayPal founder and President Trump supporter Peter Thiel has requested that the FBI and CIA launch an investigation into google, claiming it had been infiltrated by Chinese Intelligence while slamming google's decision to work with the Chinese military while canceling a US Defense Department contract as 'treason'.
Just the latest story helping to confirm that the nation of China and the US-based company 'google' are joined at the hip, this July 11th story at the Intercept confirmed an American organization called The Open Power Foundation which was founded by tech giants 'google' and IBM is helping China's authoritarian government conduct mass surveillance against its citizens.
As this story over at Telecoms reports, both IBM and 'google' have swapped their morals for Chinese cash and while we'll argue here that 'google' never had any 'morals', as we'll see within this ANP story, if we think we shouldn't be paying any attention to what is happening in China, we're gravely mistaken. As we'll explore within the next section below, according to this new story over at the Wall Street Journal, for some reason, China wants the medical records of Americans so they hacked the medical records of 80 million of us. And as we've reported previously on ANP, the long unfolding A.I. surveillance state in America is using China as a model.
Why such strong ties between US company 'google' and China's military? Treason? From this Daily Mail story.
Peter Thiel said that American agencies should ask Google three questions, to determine whether it had been infilitrated by Chinese Intelligence services.
The questions are:
'Number one: How many foreign Intelligence agencies have infiltrated your Manhattan Project for AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
'Number two: Does Google's senior management consider itself to have been thoroughly infiltrated by Chinese Intelligence?
'Number three: Is it because they consider themselves to be so thoroughly infiltrated that they have engaged in the seemingly treasonous decision to work with the Chinese military and not with the US military.'
With 'google' and 'big tech' absolutely part of the 'enemies of America within' who are working to destroy national sovereignty while thoroughly pushing the 'globalists agenda', as we had reported back on May 19th in this story titled "With George Orwell's 1984 Here Now, 'Everywhere Will Turn Into China' Tech Expert Warns - As Canada, The UK & EU Fall To Islamo-Fascist Tyranny, Globalists Attempt To 'Submit' America", between the all-encompassing surveillance that has been established across America and the world over the past decade+ to censorship being the 'new norm' to the Orwellian language used by government agencies, the mainstream media and 'big tech', it's easy to see why so many believe that the book "1984" really was an 'instruction manual' to create global tyranny.
And with always-spying and forever-surveilling 'google' leading the way towards Orwell's warning unfolding, and google preferring to work with China's military over the US, should google be charged with treason as Thiel suggests?
In taking a long look at this previously mentioned Wall Street Journal story (saved at archive), we have to ask, why does China really want the medical records of Americans? We can't help but think they may be preparing to use Americans for organ harvesting following the globalists 'end game' for America. With China clearly helping to establish the global 'surveillance state', even right here in America, if you think China wanting to steal American's medical records for organ harvesting a bit of a stretch, remember, they are already stealing organs from 'detainees' in China according to this June 18th NBC News story.
So let's take a look at the theories of what China is up to right now from this Wall Street Journal story.

5G - The Global Human Experiment without Consent
By Debra Greene, PhD, Guest Contributor
5G is the next generation of cell phone infrastructure, yet it is categorically different than its predecessors (4G/LTE, 3G, 2G, etc.). It is not a simple upgrade. It is a major increase - and change - in the type of wireless radiation to which we will all be exposed, without consent, whether we use this service or not.
5G builds on existing infrastructure and, in addition, uses extremely high (millimeter-wave) frequencies of 24 gigahertz (GHz) or more. These 5G signals don't travel far, so antennas will be installed approximately every 2-10 homes in residential neighborhoods. 5G will significantly increase our wireless RF radiation (radio frequency microwave) exposure on a 24/7 and 365 days a year basis.
The government's human exposure guidelines haven't been updated in more than 20 years, while radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, WiFi and wireless baby monitors has increased exponentially in that time.
No Safety Studies
In a February 2019 U.S. Senate hearing, senior telecom executives admitted they have not done any safety testing on 5G, nor do they plan to do any. Currently, there are over two dozen cities in the U.S. and countless cities abroad that have 5G, yet there is no scientific evidence to support any claim of safety for it.
What related research does show is cause for alarm. Thousands of independent studies indicate adverse health impacts from wireless radiation. These range from cancer and sterility to DNA damage. The government's human exposure guidelines haven't been updated in more than 20 years, while radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, WiFi and wireless baby monitors has increased exponentially in that time.
Planet Earth Blanketed in Radiation
The 5G agenda is vast. It includes 200 billion transmitting objects, according to estimates, that will be part of the Internet of Things (IoT) by 2020, with one trillion transmitting objects a few years later. 5G is meant to usher in more robotics, Artificial Intelligence and autonomous vehicles, including 5G antennas installed inside cars - behind our heads and irradiating our brains - so we can talk to people in other vehicles and instruct our driverless cars on where to take us.
5G base stations and 5G devices will have multiple antennas in phased arrays that work together to emit focused, steerable, laser-like beams that track each other. Each 5G phone will function like a mini cell tower, containing dozens of tiny antennas working together to track and aim a narrowly focused beam to search and connect with the nearest cell antenna. The FCC has adopted rules that permit those beams to be as much as 20 watts, ten times more powerful than levels allowed on current phones.
Numerous independent studies on millimeter-wave radiation already show a range of biological effects, indicating that an increase in frequencies may worsen harmful effects.

Sophisticated phony videos called deepfakes have attracted plenty of attention as a possible threat to election integrity. But a bigger problem for the 2020 U.S. presidential contest may be "dumbfakes" - simpler and more easily unmasked bogus videos that are easy and often cheap to produce.
Unlike deepfakes, which require sophisticated Artificial Intelligence, audio manipulation and facial mapping technology, dumbfakes can be made simply by varying the speed of video or selective editing. They are easier to create and can be convincing to an unsuspecting viewer, which makes them a much more immediate worry.
A slowed-down video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that made her appear impaired garnered more than 2 million views on Facebook in May. In November, then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted a sped-up video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta that made him look more aggressive than he was during an exchange with an intern. Her post received thousands of retweets.

Elon Musk Announcement: Let's Merge Human Brains To "Achieve A Symbiosis With AI"
Elon Musk finally admitted late Tuesday that Neuralink's (Musk's brain-machine interface startup) official goal is to eventually merge human brains with Artificial Intelligence. The ultimate ending would be to "achieve a symbiosis with Artificial Intelligence."
Musk plans to begin human trials on an early version of Neuralink intended to treat brain injuries next year, and he says that by "merging with AI," humans will be able to keep up with AI. "Ultimately we can do a full brain-machine interface," Musk said in an announcement that was widely live-streamed, according to a report by Vice.
This is going to sound pretty weird. Ultimately we can achieve a symbiosis with Artificial Intelligence. This is not a mandatory thing, this is something you can choose to have if you want. This is going to be really important at a civilization-level scale. Even in a benign AI scenario, we will be left behind. With a high-bandwidth brain-machine interface, we can go along for the ride and have the option of merging with AI.
Even though Musk claims it won't be "mandatory," things could always change. Laws could begin to mandate anyone who wants to participate in society to link their brain with AI. Especially considering Neuralink has operated largely in secret since it was announced in 2017. Information about Neuralink from public records documents obtained by Gizmodo show that it has been funding primate research studies at universities in California. Tuesday was the company's "coming out party."
Musk stated that his goal with this presentation (video below) was to recruit engineers and scientists to Neuralink's team.
The video below starts at 1:29:54 (one hour, 29 minutes, and 54 seconds):
https://youtu.be/r-vbh3t7WVI
The company's short-to-medium-term goals are to create a chip that can be implanted into the brain to treat a variety of brain injuries and diseases, including paralysis, Alzheimer's, and dementia. Musk said progress will be slow, and that the company will not suddenly unveil a chip that takes over people's brain. At the very least, Musk mentioned that he wants to get FDA approval for the implants. -Vice
"Unless we have some sort of brain-machine interface that can solve brain ailments of all kinds, whether it's an accident or congenital, any kind of disorder or a spinal disorder, we can solve that with a chip," he said. "This is something most people don't understand yet. All of this will occur quite slowly. It's not like Neuralink will suddenly have neural lace and start taking over people's brains. It will take a long time, and people will see it coming."
It is still unclear just how much time and/or effort Musk is actually going to be dedicating to Neuralink. No one quite knows how feasible the project is either, whether anyone actually wants it, and what will happen to the people who can't afford or don't want to merge with AI. All of that said, brain-machine interfaces do show promise for treating people with brain injuries and diseases, and in that sense, this is a serious area of research that could potentially help many people. But the human rights violations that come with merging a human brain with AI could reach levels never seen before.
Musk claims human trials will be underway beginning in 2020.
Serious considerations by humanity need to be made before too much longer with regards to AI. We are rapidly approaching "singularity" or "the point of no return" when it comes to making ourselves obsolete.

The AI system is a deep reinforcement learning algorithm named DeepCubeA, and - perhaps even more astonishing - it doesn't need to be provided with any specific information on the Rubik's cube or in-game coaching to beat the puzzle. It learns all on its own.
For reference on just how impressive beating a Rubik's Cube in under a second really is, consider that each cube features billions of possible moves and completion paths.
According to researchers, the AI solved the Rubik's Cube in 100% of all test runs, and found the absolute shortest path to victory 60% of the time. DeepCubeA doesn't just play with Rubik's Cubes either, its creators say it can also play games such as Lights Out and Sokoban.
"Artificial Intelligence can defeat the world's best human chess and Go players, but some of the more difficult puzzles, such as the Rubik's Cube, had not been solved by computers, so we thought they were open for AI approaches," explains senior author Pierre Baldi in a release. "The solution to the Rubik's Cube involves more symbolic, mathematical and abstract thinking, so a deep learning machine that can crack such a puzzle is getting closer to becoming a system that can think, reason, plan and make decisions."

Billionaire Thiel: Google 'seemingly committing treason' with Chinese military; calls for federal investigation into spies and more
Facebook investor and board member Peter Thiel is calling for an investigation into Google's alleged support of the Chinese military.
At the National Conservatism Conference on Sunday, Thiel said the FBI and CIA need to ask Google three questions in a "not excessively gentle manner," Axios reported exclusively on Sunday.
"Number one, how many foreign Intelligence agencies have infiltrated your Manhattan Project for AI (Artificial Intelligence)?" Thiel reportedly asked, according to Axios. "Number two, does Google's senior management consider itself to have been thoroughly infiltrated by Chinese Intelligence?"
"Number three, is it because they consider themselves to be so thoroughly infiltrated that they have engaged in the seemingly treasonous decision to work with the Chinese military and not with the US military... because they are making the sort of bad, short-term rationalistic [decision] that if the technology doesn't go out the front door, it gets stolen out the backdoor anyway?" Thiel said, according to Axios.
Google rejected the assertion that they work with the Chinese military.

According to former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg (and a major information and technology corporate figure himself) , writing for his eponymous publication, Google has "Walked away from America's security...Google's decision not to renew a contract to develop Artificial Intelligence for the Defense Department was a victory for the employees who had protested it. It was also a defeat for U.S. national security, patriotism, and the cause of limiting civilian casualties in war...Google's leaders also seem to have forgotten the vital role the government, and especially the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, played in creating the internet and making their company possible in the first place. Yet, from Apple's refusal to unlock the iPhone of a mass-murdering terrorist to Project Maven, tech firms have repeatedly snubbed law-enforcement, Intelligence and defense agencies."
It's vitally important to read between the lines. Are companies like Google, as well as Facebook, reluctant to assist the U.S. government, or give fair access and provide objective search results to pro-defense conservatives in the hopes of appeasing China and gaining access to its vast market?
How dangerous is the impulse by Facebook and Google to appease China? Consider Robert Schlesinger's comment's in US News: "the Pew Research Center reported this week that 62 percent of U.S. adults get news on social media. Fully two-thirds of U.S. Facebook users get news from the site...The role of big social media in news distribution has been top of mind with the recent controversy surrounding Facebook reportedly suppressing conservative content...Robert Epstein and Ronald Robertson of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology have conducted more extensive research measuring what they call "Search Engine Manipulation Effect" - looking at whether Google, say, could shift votes by tweaking its search engine to favor one candidate. His conclusion is that doing so could "easily shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20 percent or more - up to 80 percent in some demographic groups," as Epstein wrote in Politico last summer - with virtually no one knowing they are being manipulated. Around the world, Epstein and Robertson calculate, Google could flip upwards of 25 percent of national elections if it wanted to wield that power."
If that power were used on behalf of an American enemy in return for access to that nation's markets, it could be devastating.

Article on corporate treason.
https://www.usagovpolicy.com/corporate-treason/
Corporate Treason
Both Conservatives and Liberals have expressed unease about corporations that, despite being based within the United States, have little or no loyalty to their home country. Those fears are justified.
American companies have been forced to give trade secrets to the Chinese government in order to do business in that nation. At times, of course, this has been done at the behest of some politicians.
Roger Vadum, writing for the Capital Research Center explains: "As president, Bill Clinton essentially wiped out any strategic advantage the U.S. had by selling advanced U.S. missile technology to our enemy, the People's Republic of China...the Clinton administration accepted millions of dollars from the military and Intelligence services of at least one hostile foreign power. All of this was done in exchange for illegal campaign contributions from a massive totalitarian country determined to eclipse the U.S. as a world superpower...President Clinton also lifted security controls, allowing thieves to access other vital military technologies, while disarming his own side and opposing needed defenses...Back in the 1990s... longtime Clinton bagman Terry McAuliffe, now governor of Virginia, set records raising money for the Clintons. In that era congressional investigators unearthed an elaborate Communist Chinese money-laundering scheme."
While President Clinton's tenure is now history, the acquiescence of some corporations to transfer data, or kowtow to practices that violate human rights, in order to gain market share within nations ruled by authoritarian governments, China being the prime example, continues. Fighting this demand by Beijing has been a central issue in President Trump's fight against unfair practices by America's trading partners, friendly and otherwise.
Current corporate inappropriate interaction with hostile powers differs from the Clinton-era scandal. A key player in this issue is Facebook. David Shepardson, in a Reuters report notes:
"Facebook Inc (FB.O) said Tuesday it has data sharing partnerships with at least four Chinese companies including Huawei, the world's third largest smartphone maker, which has come under scrutiny from U.S. Intelligence agencies on security concerns. ...Chinese telecommunications companies have come under scrutiny from U.S. Intelligence officials who argue they provide an opportunity for foreign espionage and threaten critical U.S. infrastructure..."
Google, another major internet-based giant, has proven to be a disloyal corporate citizen for other reasons. The most important military technology battlefield today is in the field of Artificial Intelligence. However, as reported by Douglas MacMillan in the Wall Street Journal notes: "Google won't allow its Artificial-Intelligence products to be used in military weapons...Google...has recently come under criticism from its own employees for supplying image-recognition technology to the U.S. Department of Defense, in a partnership called Project Maven. Google told employees earlier this month it wouldn't seek to renew its contract for Project Maven, ... that decision in turn was blasted by some who said the company shouldn't be conflicted about supporting national security...Google's YouTube, along with Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc., were criticized over the past year for failing to prevent a Russian campaign to use their services to sway the results of the U.S. election...Google was questioned by U.S. lawmakers ... who are looking into the company's relationship with Chinese tech giants. Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) on Thursday asked Alphabet Inc. and Twitter Inc. about data-sharing with Chinese vendors, including Xiaomi and Tencent Holdings Google's relationship with China's Huawei Technologies Co., part of Washington's escalating digital Cold War with Beijing."

Q Research General #9015: [Smollett] Federal charges coming? Edition
1 of 2
Largest Global (A/I) Human Trafficking Network Financed by The Worlds Largest Invester into….A/I…[HUGE]
Below is a dig lost on the QRV , so I moved it here. The short of it is Jeffrey Epstein is the worlds largest investor into Artificial Intelligence. This includes Hanson Robotics, Ray Kurzwell, Peter Theile and that means Palantir, In-Q-Tel, Sophia and the Global Intelligence networks. All the kids missing and exploited children global network, aided by none other than Hillary and Cherie Blaire.
So its a dig, and its deep, not to be overlooked to be understood the severity of what we are dealing with…
"Here is a HUGE data dump from some digging I stubled onto. Initially its from Wilhelmina a modeling agency. Whilhelmina Cooper was basically a boy raised a girl into the modeling world via elite gender inversion. I noticed these people often have a male sibling that dies(fake) in the mix.
Anyway, this agency is a biggie and is tied into the big mess with a lot of capital being pumped into it. It has some big MK stars like Nikki Minaj and Demi Lovato amongst many. So I got into this Rachel Chandler as a photographer for this agency and it leads to her work all over the world.
Purple Diary or pd, has an archive, and as you roll the mouse over the pic you get mega data. Klaus Biesenbach turns out to be curator for museums in LA and NYC and heavily linked as well into the whole scene like Maria Abromovic and all.
Turns out Chandler is a friend of the Gettys. In particular Jacqui Getty. Getty Images, Petrolium, Getty Museum in CA. etc.
The curator is below , he does LA, NYC etc. Big stuff.
Its all part of the Elite Gender Inversion model from the Frankfort School of Social Collapse. So it goes from Germany and the Netherlands directly into Chicago and Mob ties. Then it branches out from there. NYC, LA, PARIS etc. All per Frankfort Protocol and Tavistok MK Nazi programming.
Here is where it gets insane , or more insane. This Wilhelmina or origionally Whilhelm, a dude, was a model, very successful, married a producer from the Tonight Show, formed their own Agency, Whilhelmina. So that explodes in the 70's into the 80's and develops all the huge tranny models into Sports Illustrated, Victoria's Secrets, Paris and NYC Fashion Runways. They merge into Atlantic Records and Film and just keep going.
Chandler is born into the Multi Media in the LA Times and gets involve din the art, photography and curation of models and young kids for the Pedo, art, music, film ring. I have not got to the crazy part yet….
Jeffery Epstein turns out to be the worlds largest investor into Artificial Intelligence. So, he winds up with Rachel and work recruiting kids for him. By this time the tech is already full on developed with a world wide Artificial Intelligence network, running the entire pedo operation through the CIA, In-Q-Tel, Palantir etc. etc. SO this whole thing with Epstein is way , way WAY larger than anybody is aware of. ITS THE WHOLE NETWORK, THE CURRENCY>HUMANS ARE CURRENCY OF THE ELITE> Take a look its VAST.

Q Research General #8992: Voat Maintenance Ongoing Edition
AI Creates Flu Vaccine Better Than Anything on the Market Today
The computer-generated vaccine was developed by scientists in Australia, but is undergoing clinical trials in the US amid the researchers' reported inability to test it locally due to bureaucratic red tape.
A team of researchers led by Flinders University professor of medicine Dr. Nikolai Petrovsky has used Artificial Intelligence to create a highly effective new flu vaccine from scratch, Business Insider Australia has reported.
The AI programme, known as SAM (Search Algorithm for Ligands) is designed to find the ideal chemical compounds that can cause an appropriate response from a human immune system among the trillions of possible combinations.
"We had to teach the AI program on a set of compounds that are known to activate the human immune system, and a set of compounds that don't work," Dr. Petrovsky explained. "The job of the AI was then to work out for itself what distinguished a drug that worked from one that doesn't."
The next step was to create 'synthetic chemist', a random chemical compound generator capable of combining "trillions of different chemical compounds," which are then sent to SAM for analysis to weed out the chaff and find compounds which could be used to develop drugs for humans.
After SAM completed its computations, scientists tested the AI tool's top candidates on human blood cells. "This confirmed that SAM not only had the ability to identify good drugs but in fact had come up with better human immune drugs than currently exist," Dr. Petrovsky boasted.
The drugs were then tested on animals, again confirming their effectiveness.
SAM's flu vaccine is now undergoing clinical trials in the. Before that, Petrovsky and his team complained that they could have conducted the tests at Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, Australia up to two years earlier if it weren't for bureaucratic efforts to block them.
"We would love to be able to do our research here but unfortunately we can't do our clinical trials here," Petrovsky told Australia's ABC News last week.
According to the academic, the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network had told him flat out not to conduct the trials, even as one of the trials was already underway. "I've never heard of trials being stopped similarly anywhere else in Australia," he complained.
The team's research has now received funding from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The scientists expressed confidence that their vaccine could one day come to complement or even replace the existing standard seasonal flu shots issued in Australia.
Speaking to CNET about the AI program, Petrovsky said SAM's greatest potential may be its ability to predict a virus's future mutations.
"I believe that only a properly trained AI will have the ability to explore these patterns and choices [in the mutations] so that it can then actually predict where the virus is likely to go next...So we can then use this to get it to design a vaccine that predicts against future flu viruses rather than past ones," he said.
According to the scientists, SAM has the potential to shorten the discovery of new drugs by years or even decades, and save companies hundreds of millions of dollars in man hours.

Oracle Loses Critical Lawsuit Alleging Pentagon & Amazon Colluded Over $10B 'War Cloud' Contract
Oracle shares tumbled on Friday after the networking giant lost a critical court case against the Pentagon and Amazon. The loss will allow the DoD to proceed with awarding a $10 billion contract to one of the two finalists - a group that includes Amazon and Microsoft.
Ever since the Pentagon named Amazon a finalist for the contract, critics have accused Amazon and the Pentagon of conflicts of interest, claiming that Amazon effectively secured the extremely lucrative project before the bidding even began. Earlier this week, WSJ publicized new evidence showing that senior Amazon executives met with senior DoD officials, including then-Defense Secretary James Mattis, to discuss the project before the bidding even began.
The Pentagon has already delayed its decision on who will get the contract to build the Pentagon's new "war cloud" infrastructure, known as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI. And some suspected that the decision would be delayed yet again due to the court challenge.
Finishing JEDI is expected to take up to a year, making the winner of the contract a de facto long-term partner with the Pentagon and a major military contractor in their own right.
The computing project would store and process vast amounts of classified data, allowing the Pentagon to use Artificial Intelligence to speed up its war planning and fighting capabilities.
The court ruled in favor of the DoD and Amazon, saying Oracle had not met certain criteria when bids were due.
The JEDI decision is due next month, and the Pentagon confirmed that Microsoft and Amazon are the final two contenders.
At this point, if AWS gets the contract, the company and the DoD will be dogged by these suspicion, which could hurt Amazon's chances. Despite Jeff Bezos's highly visible feud with President Trump, it appears his company is still the front-runner to win the contract.
On May 24, Oracle filed an updated complaint with the US Court of Federal Claims alleging that the procurement process for JEDI had been rife with conflicts of interest.
Oracle alleged that at least two Amazon employees, Deap Ubhi (who was also briefly employed at the Pentagon before returning to Amazon) and Anthony DeMartino, improperly influenced the process to favor AWS at the expense of other competitors. Oracle claims these men helped influence the Pentagon's decision to structure JEDI as a 'winner-take-all' contract, ensuring that Amazon, the cloud computing industry leader, would win the entire $10 billion. These claims have caught the attention of some lawmakers, who have started looking into the bidding.
At this point, it seems just as likely that the contract could go to Microsoft. That would be a major blow for AWS's market leader status, and could impact the company's revenue guidance and, ultimately, its share price. But Amazon is still the industry leader, and its lobbying efforts clearly ran pretty deep.
Bezos might still be able to pull it off, and in the process, gain access to the largest repository of classified defense-related Intelligence this country has ever seen.

Amazon, Microsoft Battle Over Pentagon's "War Cloud" Contract
Amazon and Microsoft are in the final stretches of a fierce battle to win a $10 billion contract to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven cloud for the US military, reported the Associated Press (AP).
Formely called the Joint Enterprise Defence Infrastructure Plan (JEDI), the military's next-generation computing project would store vast amounts of classified data that can be quickly analyzed by AI to help war planners make rapid decisions
The "War Cloud" was first unveiled in a strategy report last year, stating: "Cloud is a fundamental component of the global infrastructure that will empower the warfighter with data and is critical to maintaining our military's technological advantage."
"This is not your grandfather's internet," said Daniel Goure, vice president of the Lexington Institute, a defense-oriented think tank. "You're talking about a cloud where you can go from the Pentagon literally to the soldier on the battlefield carrying classified information."
Securities analyst Daniel Ives at Wedbush said the opportunity to develop the War Cloud was a "no brainer" for Amazon a year ago – now seems like the contract could also go to Microsoft.
Amazon Web Service has been a dominant player in transitioning businesses, government, and other institutions onto the cloud. But Microsoft's Azure cloud platform is steadily catching up to meet the high standards of corporate and government environments.
Amazon has been considered the front-runner for the War Cloud because of its existing cloud contracts with the Central Intelligence Agency.
Rivals Oracle and IBM were eliminated at an earlier round of the contract competition, have launched formal protests last year arguing the Pentagon's cloud contract seemed tailor-made for Amazon.
BM executive Sam Gordy wrote in an October blog post that a single-cloud program would be a dangerous move by the military and "would give bad actors just one target to focus on should they want to undermine the military's IT backbone."
The Government Accountability Office has since dropped those protest, but Oracle managed to take it to the Court of Federal Claims, where it showed emails and other documents indicating there was a significant conflict of interest between Amazon and the military. Oral arguments, in that case, are scheduled for this week.
Defense-contracting specialists who spoke with AP say the conflict allegations are disturbing.
"No one seems to deny that these were actual conflicts and the players affirmatively attempted to conceal them," said Steven Schooner, a professor of government procurement law at George Washington University. "That simply cannot be tolerated."
Goure, whose defense-oriented think tank receives funding from Amazon, said the criticism is "coming from the also-rans." He said rivals like Oracle "missed the boat" in the cloud and are using lawyers to close the technology gap.
The Pentagon launched an info-war on prime-time TV to defend its bidding process. Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently aired a segment that questioned an Amazon executive's 2017 meeting with then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. Carlson had Republican Rep. Mark Meadows as a guest, who said "the allegations are incredible" and should be investigated.

Maverick Science Investor Jeffrey Epstein Funds the First Humanoids in Berlin
The Huffington Post published " Maverick Hedge Funder Jeffrey Epstein Funds the First Humanoids in Berlin".
The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation is pleased to announce the innovative new work of Joscha Bach, a young cognitive scientist specializing in Artificial Intelligence. Bach's latest humanoid venture, titled MicroPsi Project 2, is a software program that creates goals and sensory driven agents in a virtual computer platform.
"The use of a virtual platform to explore the workings of the human brain provides optimal flexibility" science investor Jeffrey Epstein remarked. The exploration of the mind has been a longstanding focus of Jeffrey Epstein. A former board member of Rockefeller University and the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Committee at Harvard University, Epstein still plays an active role in brain institutes around the world.

Epstein, a former CFR and Trilateral Commission Member, also sat on the board of Harvard's Mind, Brain, and Behavior Committee. He has furthermore been "actively involved in . . . the Theoretical Biology Initiative at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, the Quantum Gravity Program at the University of Pennsylvania," and the Santa Fe Institute, which "is a transdisciplinary research community that expands the boundaries of scientific understanding . . . to discover, comprehend, and communicate the common fundamental principles in complex physical, computational, biological, and social systems."
The scope of Epstein's various science projects spans research into genetics, neuroscience, robotics, computer science, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Altogether, the convergence of these science subfields comprises an interdisciplinary science known as "transhumanism": the Artificial "perfection" of human evolution through humankind's merger with technology. In fact, Epstein partners with Humanity+, a major transhumanism interest group.

Program For Evolutionary Dynamics
The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics is a graduate department at Harvard University. Under the direction of Martin Nowak, an evolutionist and professor of mathematics and biology at Harvard, the Program studies the evolution of molecular biology with the primary use of mathematics. It is one of the first departments to develop a mathematical model of how cancer cells evolve as well as infectious bacteria and viruses such as HIV. The Program's models have led to key discoveries towards fighting several diseases. More recently, pivotal work has been done in mapping colon cancer resistance to inhibitor drugs, mapping the progression of pancreatic cancer, targeting the topology of minority mutations that drive tumor growth and creating a database to predict and minimize resistance to HIV drugs. Other current research topics include: evolution of cooperation, cancer, viruses, evolutionary game/graph/set theory, prelife, protocells, eusociality, evolution of construction, population structure, evolution of language, experimental games, and evolutionary economics. Their ambitious goals include curing the world of cancer, infectious disease, selfishness, and inclusive fitness theory.

Q Research General #8865: Moar Cali EQ Swarms! Edition
U.S. clears SoftBank's $2.25 billion investment in GM-backed Cruise
Cruise, a U.S. self-driving vehicle company majority-owned by General Motors Co, told Reuters on Friday that a U.S. national security panel approved a $2.25 billion investment in the firm by Japan's SoftBank Corp.
SoftBank has come under increasing U.S. scrutiny over its ties to Chinese firms in the face of an escalating trade and technology war between Washington and Beijing. It is in the process of raising its second $100 billion investment vehicle, dubbed Vision Fund, after deploying its first one of equal size.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which reviews deals for potential national security concerns, approved the investment based on fresh assurances that Cruise's technology would be completely off limits to SoftBank, a source familiar with the matter said.
A SoftBank spokesman declined to comment. The Treasury Department, which leads CFIUS, did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
The approval unlocks a seat for SoftBank on Cruise's board, formalizing its oversight, and cements key financing for Cruise, which has raised $7.25 billion in capital since last year, the company said.
"Today's news is another important step toward achieving our goal to develop and deploy self-driving vehicles at massive scale," Cruise CEO Dan Ammann said in a statement to Reuters.
However, approval for the deal did not always appear certain as CFIUS scrutinized it closely, according to two people close to the deal.
The $2.25 billion investment was unveiled by SoftBank in May 2018 amid a wave of investments by the Japanese technology and telecommunications conglomerate in Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, financial services and self-driving cars.
RED FLAGS
The investment raised red flags with CFIUS because SoftBank invests in numerous mobility units, some based in China, and encourages companies it invests in to share information.
CFIUS was especially concerned about SoftBank's co-investments with Tencent Holdings Ltd, a Chinese social media and gaming giant, and its investment in China ride-hailing firm Didi, which it fears could take technology from Cruise, sources said.
The committee, emboldened by a law last year aimed at strengthening the inter-agency panel, has flexed its muscles increasingly against Chinese companies as Beijing and Washington remain locked in a heated trade and technology row.
Reuters reported that Chinese gaming company Beijing Kunlun Tech Co Ltd has been seeking to sell Grindr LLC, the popular gay dating app, after CFIUS said its ownership posed a national security risk. CFIUS halted a plan last year by Ant Financial, owned by the chairman of China's internet conglomerate Alibaba, to acquire MoneyGram International Inc.
The Cruise deal was structured to allow $900 million of the investment to be disbursed initially, with the remainder provided once Cruise AVs are ready for commercial deployment and contingent on regulatory approval. The two tranches would combine to give SoftBank a nearly 20 percent stake in Cruise.
However, the Japanese firm separately announced a joint investment with GM, T. Rowe Price, and Honda of $1.15 billion earlier this year, further boosting its stake.
Softbank's investment, followed by Honda's announcement in October that it will pour $2.75 billion into Cruise, is still one of the biggest and most high-profile investments in self-driving technology to date.
Its Vision Fund, the world's largest technology fund, unveiled a $1.5 billion investment in China's top used car platform, Chehauduo Group, in February. Reuters reported in December that the same fund was hiring an investment team based in China to boost its presence in one of the world's most vibrant tech markets.
It is not the first time SoftBank has gone through a protracted CFIUS review. It has had to accept U.S. restrictions on how it runs some of its companies, including wireless carrier Sprint Corp and investment firm Fortress Investment Group.
SoftBank lost its claim to two seats on the board of Uber Inc when the ride-hailing giant floated in the stock market in May. SoftBank never received permission for the board seats from CFIUS following an agreement in 2017 to invest $9 billion in Uber.
The autonomous vehicle industry could revolutionize transportation but faces engineering, safety and regulatory challenges, as well as skepticism among potential users.
GM Cruise and Alphabet Inc's Waymo are often described as leading the pack of technology and auto companies competing to create self-driving cars and integrate them into ride services fleets.

Q Research General #8863:New FBI vault drop HRC! Edition
Technological Dependence And The End Of Freedom
Technology can be dazzling but also debilitating to real human progress, and when I say "progress" I do not mean advancements in the world of machines but advancements in the world of people, and one does not necessarily lead to the other.
First, I fully recognize that whenever anyone attempts to criticize technological innovation they take the risk of being labeled a "crackpot" or an "outdated fossil", a barbaric relic of a foregone era. However, this attitude is an ignorant one. It assumes that the path we are on as a species is one of perpetual improvement as long as we continue to follow the great technology god; but what if this assumption is completely wrong? What if we are actually devolving rather than evolving?
I'm not here to grunt and shake my spear at the wheel and the combustion engine and the programmable computer - I like all these things. But, what I don't like is the dark future I see when humanity turns machinery into a great metal, polymer and digital "nurse maid" and we lose our ability to take care of ourselves. Dependency is the cornerstone of slavery, and our civilization is becoming increasingly dependent.
In my time on this earth I have had the privilege and suffered the pain of watching the digital age come to fruition. I've witnessed the creation of the home computer, the birth of the internet, the proliferation of cellular technology, and now the spread of "Artificial Intelligence" and 5G. I have also seen the decay of an entire generation of millennials into uselessness and despondency, lacking any practical skills of production or survival and completely reliant on digital technology for everything, including building up illusions of friendship and intimacy. I have witnessed the pussification of America.
The counterarguments against this will vary. Some will say that our society has simply become more convenient and more comfortable, and this is a good thing. Others will claim that skeptics like myself are afraid of the social changes that come with the globalization that the digital age brings. Still, others will maintain that centralization and dependency are "natural" extensions of man's evolution; that it is inevitable and so we should embrace it.
These are also the classic arguments of the Futurists, a subculture of ideological zealots who believe that all old ideas and ways of living must be treated as obsolete and thrown out to make way for all new ideas and ways of living. The notion is that all new ideas are an automatic improvement; that each new generation is superior to the one before it as they supposedly have access to more knowledge, and thus they are more wise. But knowledge is not the same thing as wisdom and it is often misused to achieve rather brutal and vulgar goals.
What the futurists will never admit is that there are very few new ideas in the world, only old ideas rehashed and recycled and repainted to look different. In the grand scheme of history, freedom as an idea is very old, but it's social application on a grand scale is something entirely new. Centralization, whether by force, manipulation or technological entrapment, is hardly a revolutionary concept. It is the oldest of philosophies.
The trend today indicates a path to swift centralization, and according to the evidence this is not a natural progression but the consequence of a deliberate agenda by elitist groups that wish to remain in power for centuries to come. The advent of many technologies today is not necessarily the problem, it is how these technologies are being applied in our society that is infantilizing the masses.
Let's discuss some specific examples…

Modeling Misinformation
How does misinformation go viral? How does false information bypass our usual filters and spread like wildfire? This is the mystery that Wang seeks to unravel with his project, "Dynamo: Dynamic Multichannel Modeling of Misinformation."
"The goal of this research is to automatically learn explainable patterns of misinformation spread from information networks and text data," said Wang, an assistant professor whose specialty lies in the relatively new and very hot field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) - a branch of Artificial Intelligence that is concerned with how humans and computers communicate (think Siri and Alexa, speech recognition and machine translation). "We aim at connecting the dots and creating abstractions of common misinformation dissemination patterns."
Integrating multiple channels of information, including text, structure, image, audio and video, the Wang research group's multimodal modeling framework will trace the paths of misinformation spread. Through deep reinforcement learning - whereby the machine essentially teaches itself to learn through incremental decisions to maximize an ideal result - the path-finding approach becomes a dynamic solution modeling spatial-temporal variations in misinformation propagation schemes. Additional components of the project will focus on the nuances of misinformation, such as subtle wording, as well as the development of an active verification system based on multi-document reading comprehension.
"I'm very honored to receive this young investigator award," Wang said. "This is the second time in the history of the program that the DARPA Young Faculty Award has been awarded to a Natural Language Processing researcher."
In his two years at UCSB, Wang has grown the campus's NLP research into one of the world's most prolific natural language processing labs. His work has also contributed toward UCSB's top three ranking for NLP in 2018 by CSRankings.org - ahead of Stanford, Berkeley and MIT. Wang also has been the recipient of several best paper awards, as well as research awards from Facebook, Adobe and IBM.

Trump poised to hold social media summit WITHOUT social media companies
(kek)
President Trump's forum on social media may occur without the participation of the tech firms he accuses of squelching speech and sapping his follower growth.
The July 11 event is shaping up to be an opportunity to rail against the companies rather than a peace conference, with the businesses so far no publicly known to be attending.
With one week to go, social media companies would not comment Wednesday on whether the firms were invited or if they intend to attend.
Facebook spokesman Andy Stone declined to comment "on any aspect of it." Twitter spokesman Ian Plunkett also declined to comment, saying he could offer "nothing from our side." YouTube owner Google didn't reply.
The summit was announced last week, with White House spokesman Judd Deere describing it as an opportunity to "bring together digital leaders for a robust conversation on the opportunities and challenges of today's online environment."
A social media summit at the White House has long been discussed but hasn't come to fruition as a large-scale gathering. Individually, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey met with Trump in the Oval Office in April after Trump publicly claimed in March that he was losing followers and "names are taken off, people aren't getting through."
Google CEO Sundar Pichai visited the White House in December for a discussion about Artificial Intelligence, but Trump passed up an opportunity to address with Pichai his allegation made the previous August that "Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good." A source told the Washington Examiner that Trump discussed his optimism about trade negotiations with China but did not mention alleged bias.
Trump's public jousting with the companies began last year, as some conservatives alleged politically motivated "shadow banning" of their content on platforms. Defenders of the companies noted Twitter had removed large numbers of fake accounts and said algorithms and efforts to address abusive content explained other issues.
"Something is happening with those groups of folks that are running Facebook and Google and Twitter, and I do think we have to get to the bottom of it. It's very fair. It's collusive and very, very fair to say that we have to do something about it," Trump said in March at at press conference with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Organizations that have publicly confirmed receiving an invitation for the summit include the conservative PragerU, which is suing YouTube for alleged censorship, and pro-Trump group Turning Point USA, whose then-urban engagement director Candace Owens received a 2018 apology from Dorsey after her account was suspended for 12 hours.
The conservative Media Research Center, which documents alleged political bias, and the conservative Heritage Foundation also confirmed invites.
The summit, which the White House would not discuss Wednesday, approaches as Trump's criticism of the firms has escalated, with the president claiming they were trying "to rig the election" and that "what they're doing is wrong and possibly illegal."
A day later after the summit was unveiled last week, Twitter announced a policy that would allow for the censorship of Trump and other world leaders whose tweets are deemed by the company to be abusive.

The Draco are a 4th density negative reptilian race from another dimension. They have a stronghold in the Orion constellation.
The Draco rely on human loosh to sustain themselves. They park and cloak their craft over battlefields as people are dying en masse in order to collect loosh.[1]
They recieve their names upon reaching the "age of awareness." This is the age in which they are aware of the station or position they are destined to fulfill. At this time, they choose or allow someone to choose their name. This name includes the position they hold as well as several personally chosen letters.[2]
The ruling caste is beige or tan in color. They cannot lead until they have gone through metamorphosis and develop wings. Few of them have working wings; most are small vestigial wings that resemble the wings of bats.[2] They mark their servants and slaves with a musky, urine-like mist.[3][4] They are absolutely infested with nanites. These nanites vaporized the bodies of dead royals. These royals fear and serve Extradimensional (ED) Overlords, who are responsible for the ET/ED Artificial Intelligence, which is their ally.
The Draco "work with or use other etheric beings as tools or etheric technology to control people and other ETs that are in their Federation Alliance."[5]
The Draco have been abducting and consuming people for the last 6,000 years; at least that's when the situation escalated. The Draco consider children a delicacy, although they will eat humans of any age.[6]Children lack nicotine, caffeine, and other environmental pollutants.[7] Their preference is female children with blond hair and blue eyes.[6]
The Dracos have been in our solar system for 375,000 years. The Dracos tried to engineer humans without a pineal gland, but benevolent ETs reinstalled it.
The Draco tried to take over Mars around 1991, but the humans, allied with the two native Mars species, kicked them out through their vastly superior military force.
The Draconian Federation Alliance aims to recruit beings who are also negatively polarized and to and enslave those who are not polarized service-to-self. They "conquer planetary mind/body/spirit social complexes before they reach the stage of achieving social memory."[1]
There are a very few third density, a majority of fourth density, a similarly large number of fifth density, and very few sixth-density entities comprising this organization. Their power matches that of the Confederation. Their numbers are one-tenth of theirs as the problem of spiritual entropy causes them to experience constant disintegration of their social memory complexes. They have "constant difficulty because of the concept of separation which is implicit in the manifestations of the service to self which involve power over others. This weakens and eventually disintegrates the energy collected by such mind/body/spirit complexes who call the Orion group and the social memory complexes which comprise the Orion group."[2]
They have a major stronghold in the constellation of Orion. They have had a presence in our solar system for about 375,000 years.[3] They have a battle group stationed near the Trapezium cluster.[4]
The Draco are a group of six different reptilian humanoid species. They have genetically intermingled so much that each of the six is actually a different gender, and they "trend" from male to female. These different "genders" can look like different species. "The master race is white and twelve to thirteen feet tall. Another high-ranking group is sable-black. The warrior caste has wings and [mahogany] scales. They're smaller and less muscular than the others. Others have skin that is a combination of tan and green scales." The royal whites "traveled throughout the galaxy, looking for other humanoid groups that evolved out of reptilian life. Everywhere they found this life, they infiltrated, mixed their DNA together with them, and brought them into their Empire." They are very warlike and have been largely defeated throughout the galaxy already. Our Local Cluster is one of the only places left where they can live. They are utterly dependent upon our loosh for their survival.

Autists and Anons we've learned this week that Google leaders and employees are training their AI on "fairness". AI is manipulated by the beliefs of programmers, programming it, the Google exposure is worth noting. Now run a search on AI, theres 100s if results about these fantastic results for healthcare, predictive modeling etc. for humans. Elon Musk is right, it's the biggest danger to society, culture and human life possible. try to find negative article on AI. The goals, intent, political ideologies and many other factors go in to the programming of AI. That's why Bots, AI etc consider themselves the saviors of men and we should just merge with it. Just remember it starts with the ideologies of the human leaders involved. There is a danger to the continued existence of the human race, the Matrix is being accelerated and the humans that program it, fail to see the outcome
The 5 Most Amazing AI Advances in Health Care Claudio Buttice | May 14, 2018
Takeaway: AI is enabling medical technology to advance at an increasingly rapid pace. Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing our world in many unimaginable ways. humanity is currently witnessing the first steps made by machines in reinventing the world we live in. -Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). The impact of electronic medical records (EMRs) is one of the most controversial topics of debate of the last decade…-It can enhance patients' adherence to doctors via predictive AI analytics in treating high-cost, life-threatening conditions.
(death panels by AI)
And it's easy to see how much medical record data mining is going to be the next "big thing" in health care, when none other than Google launched its own Google DeepMind Health project to improve the speed, quality and equity of access to care.

Top 5 latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence to know
AI is fast progressing. tech giants are currently competing to dominate the field of Artificial Intelligence; China has taken serious steps to become the leader in AI; we've seen some unprecedented advances in deep neural networks.
1. AI is becoming more accessible: A few years ago Artificial Intelligence was a prerogative of big tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Today any company can capitalize on AI.-Artificial Intelligence is becoming affordable because of software that allows for building advanced self-learning systems. TensorFlow built by Google is one of them.-TensorFlow is used by Dropbox, eBay, Intel, Twitter, Uber, and a great number of companies who provide AI consulting services. Keras is another library. It is built on top of TensorFlow and allows to quickly build and test a neural network with minimal lines of code.
Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are currently in a rush to build AI-based platforms for any company to use. They're working on creating AI utilities for their AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure cloud computing services. The company who wins the race for
AI can become the operating system of the future with the revenue that will be twice as much as the current $260 billioncloud market.
2. China might soon be leading the way in AI

Huawei employees worked with China military on research projects
(Reuters) - Huawei Technologies Co employees worked on at least 10 research projects with Chinese armed forces personnel over the past decade, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, collaborations the Chinese company said it was not aware of.
Huawei workers teamed up with members of various organs of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) in projects spanning Artificial Intelligence to radio communications, Bloomberg said.
"Huawei is not aware of its employees publishing research papers in their individual capacity," Huawei spokesman Joe Kelly told Reuters, adding that the company does not have any research and development collaboration or partnerships with PLA-affiliated institutions.
"Huawei only develops and produces communications products that conform to civil standards worldwide, and does not customise R&D products for the military."
Huawei has come under mounting scrutiny for over a year, led by U.S. allegations that "back doors" in its routers, switches and other gear could allow China to spy on U.S. communications.
The company has denied its products pose a security threat.
The U.S. government last month effectively banned its agencies from buying Huawei telecommunications equipment and put severe restrictions on U.S. companies doing business with Huawei.
The research projects are part of a few publicly disclosed studies, Bloomberg said, adding it culled the papers from published periodicals and online research databases used mainly by Chinese academics and industry specialists.

Chinese Drone Manufacturers Pose Huawei-Like Threats, Expert Says
JUNE 19, 2019
Officials allege the Chinese government is using native drone companies to collect "an unprecedented level" of Intelligence on the U.S.
The government needs to spur a "Manhattan Project-style investment" in America's unmanned aircraft industry to combat the economic and national security threats posed by Chinese drone manufacturers, a cybersecurity expert told lawmakers.
"These foreign drones are exploiting us and putting … our American businesses and government organizations at risk," National Defense University Professor Harry Wingo said Tuesday. "These threats should not and cannot be ignored."
Roughly 80 percent of the drones in the U.S. are made by Chinese companies, and the Chinese government is using that foothold to collect "an unprecedented level" of Intelligence on America's physical and economic infrastructure, Wingo told the Senate Commerce Security subcommittee. That intimate understanding of America's inner workings could potentially give the Chinese an economic and military edge, he said, and creates "significant cybersecurity risks" for U.S. businesses and government agencies.
Those threats will only be exacerbated as the Chinese government ramps up its Artificial Intelligence capabilities, which would help officials rapidly analyze the information they collect, he added.
In an exchange with Ranking Member Ed Markey, D-Mass., Wingo said the threats from Chinese drones resemble those posed by Huawei, the Chinese telecom titan the White House is trying to effectively blacklist from U.S. markets.
During the hearing, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., proposed the government follow a similar playbook with Chinese drone manufacturers like DJI. Though Wingo agreed an outright ban on Chinese drones is appropriate in cases tied to public safety and critical infrastructure, he said empowering U.S. manufacturers to "compete vigorously" with their Chinese counterparts would be a more effective solution.
"The main thing we have to do is look at drones as infrastructure, and consider, really, a Manhattan Project-style investment" in the domestic industry, Wingo said. He referenced a presidential memo signed last week that declared the country's small unmanned aircraft industry "essential to the national defense."
Beyond money, he added, promoting the use of open source software for drones could give U.S. manufacturers a leg up over their Chinese competitors, which rely on proprietary systems.
During the hearing, lawmakers also called for the Federal Aviation Administration to move forward on measures that would enable law enforcement agencies to better identify and intercept rogue drones.

Insider - DARPA Conceived Facebook for Mind Control
Anons, I think this is worth reposting as I didn't see it and I imagine many didn't as well.

Gay lover reveals the truth:
"Mark is incapable of running a McDonald's, let alone one of the most powerful companies in the world. Not even his name is real and his identity has always been covered up. Mark was chosen as child for a CIA training program because his relatives were some of the people creating the program."
"Facebook was meant as a cyber-drug to create and control addicts - digital addicts.
... Every person on the Internet, which was also created by DARPA, is considered a cyber-terrorist and the military sees it as their job to create systems to surveil, target, disarm, and aggressively remote control the user."
To Every Facebook User,
Mark Zuckerberg, and all of us who were there from the beginning, are lying to you and using your personal life as a government-controlled experiment in brain-washing and mind-control - basically a weaponized system of the military (CIA especially) that got out of control.
At this point, Mark Zuckerberg has lost control of a company that he never really owned or operated. Truly, anyone who has ever worked with Mark knows that his mind is a blank and that he is nothing more than a parrot for the government handlers who created him. Mark is incapable of running a McDonald's, let alone one of the most powerful companies in the world. Not even his name is real and his identity has always been covered up. Mark was chosen as child for a CIA training program because his relatives were some of the people creating the program.
...three teams that were working at Harvard, under Harvard president Larry Summers, to create what DARPA and In-Q-Tel wanted the most - a cyber-weapon that could control the minds of anyone that could be lured into it.
Facebook was always a military weapon - just like Eric Schmidt's Google which was incubated in the same fashion that Facebook was. Mark was a patsy, but a ruthless, heartless, cold-blooded non-human patsy. He became this way through the brain-washing he received in his High School years by a DARPA program called TIA that needed a "boy-genius" to be the front man. This scam would make Mark into a global model of the young, cool, irreverent computer geniuses that "rule the world" and lead everyone to a cyber-god of Artificial Intelligence. Mark was just an unwitting puppet at first - I felt sorry for him.
https://www.henrymakow.com/2019/06/insider-rips-the-mask-off-face.html
"Mark has become, over the years, no friend of America. In fact, he hates America and rants on about how proud he is to avoid U. S. taxes and to cheat the American people - whom he considers to be animals.
Mark was shocked when he received an acceptance letter from Harvard, before he had applied. No test scores, interviews, or pre-requisites were required. His government "programming" had made his acceptance a given. Harvard wanted Mark, and Mark did what he was told. So, when the president of Harvard, Larry Summers, called Mark into his office early in his freshman year, Mark was not so surprised. He knew he would have to pay the piper. Summers asked Mark to start a group to work on the social media project - a supposed competition among teachers and students to win a government contract.
The ostensible goal was to create a social directory and Harvard where people could share in small groups. The real intent was to create a social network to manipulate the world....

In "Holy Serpent of the Jews," Marrs summarizes the geo-political reality behind Operation 9/11:
"The Jewish neocons who control America and are now implementing the New World Order realize that their historic mission is to invent wars and to destroy culture. By way of this "creative destruction," the neocons expect that Satan will be encouraged to establish his long sought for Kingdom on earth. Michael Ledeen, a necon who is well-known U.S. Intelligence and foreign policy operative, explains this historic mission of the kabbalistic Jews:
"Creative destruction is our middle name, within our society and abroad. We tear down the Old Order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace.... We must destroy them to advance our historic mission."
The neocon Jews drew the first American blood of the 21st century in the 9/11 airstrike. They banded together, forming the "Project for a New American Century." In a special report that soon became the basis for the foreign policy of the Bush-Cheney Administration, the necons said that there needed to an attack on America similar to Pearl Harbor. After such a shocking surprise attack, Americans could be easily marshaled to fight terrorists and governments around the globe. Thus would the military supremacy of America, chief ally of Zionist Israel, be established.
The 9/11 assaults took place shortly after this report was released, and the world situation has never been the same. The U.S. is continually seeking "Ordo Ab Chao" in the world. Michael Ledeen must be very proud. As we read in the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," Protocol 13: "Who will ever suspect then that all these people were stage-managed by us according to a political plan which no one has so much as guessed at in the course of many generations." The mission of the Jews is building of a New World. "Tikkun Olam," the "mending or repairing of the world," means that the Jews will use "creative destruction" to destroy the structures and cultures of this world, a process in which they are currently heavily engaged."
Is it possible that in some manner, all of the groups mentioned above are involved; American military-Intelligence, the British and American Round Table Groups, the Nazi International, the secret societies, the Jews? Yes, it is, as demonstrated in the research posted on this website. The following statement by German physicist, Harald Kautz Vella, may provide an important spiritual overview of our current situation:
".... when you look at the entire thing, and you try to find solutions to it, you realize that everybody who is involved on the different levels is making the same mistake. It is of the Luciferic game. "Let me participate in your power, and I will serve you. I don't know want to know what you are doing. I don't want to stand in my own responsibility. Just let me participate from your power and I will serve." This is the Luciferic deal everybody's doing. And we are doing this by going to vote, the government, that is taking care of all the pipes we're connected to. But we let go of our responsibility and we let them do. They are giving control to the military domain; the military domain is giving control to the Intelligence community; the Intelligence community is giving control to the Black Magicians, the Black Magicians are giving control to the demons, and the demons lost control to their AI. (ETK- referring to "Artificial Intelligence" or to Satan himself?)"

Q Research General #8746: Habbenings Everywhere Edition
California lawmakers are doing more than putting the final touches on the nation's most aggressive data-privacy law.
A new bill proposed late Monday by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D., Palo Alto) would ban the proliferation of so-called deepfake videos or photos 60 days before an election. The technology, which uses Artificial Intelligence to produce misleading images such as a recent video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) apparently drunk, has bedeviled security experts at Facebook Inc. FB, -1.41% and alarmed public figures. The bogus Pelosi video went viral, and was viewed more than 3 million times.
Assembly Bill 730 would allow voters to sue to stop the spread of fake videos and photos, and seek damages against those who spread them. There is a caveat, however: Deceptive video, photos, and audio are permissible if they contain a prominent disclosure that the media has been doctored. The same principle applies to media outlets that disseminate false images, but note they are misleading.
"Deepfakes are a powerful and dangerous new technology that can be weaponized to sow misinformation and discord among an already hyperpartisan electorate," Berman said in a statement. The bill was prompted in large part by efforts to stanch digital meddling in the 2020 election, according to Berman's office.

The manipulation of social media for political gains is already a sore subject for Facebook Inc. FB, -1.41% whose vast platform was exploited by Russian operatives to spread false information during the 2016 presidential election. That, among several issues, has led to several legislative efforts to regulate Facebook and other tech companies that deal in personal data. Perhaps the most ambitious effort, the California Consumer Protection Act, set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2020, gives residents the right to know how their data is collected and shared, and allows them to deny companies the right to sell it.
For more: Facebook decided to rethink policies on fake videos two days before Pelosi video
Facebook has made no secret of its concern about manipulated media. During a May meeting at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters, company officials said they have started a working group to determine whether they need to establish a specific policy on the matter. Fake media are covered under Facebook's current policy on manipulation.
Facebook shares were down 1.4% Tuesday, but have gained 45% in 2019, while the S&P 500 SPX, -0.39% has gained 17% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.21% has gained 14%.

tl;dr - AI's are sexist and racist, so they need SJW direction.
>Any Artificial Intelligence left to its own devices will eventually become politically incorrect. Statistical inference learning from real-world observations without any emotional steering will invariably cause it to discover patterns and derive human demographic stereotypes as accurate predictors.

H.A.A.R.P. cars and satellite weather weapon geo engineering terrorism and the truth they never wanted you to know .
All new cars have satellite link up for radio . This link up can be hacked and turn your car into a weapon . A satellite terrorism weather weapon that can be turned on you or put in unison with other cars in the area to become a H.A.A.R.P. microwave weapon transmitter to alter the weather or attack a person internally with microwave weapons .
The N.S.A. / C.I.A. use this kind of satellite terrorism to soft kill , stalk , track ,spy , administer remote mind control in your sleep ext . This is the nature of satellite terrorism and gang stalking by the satanic free masonic cults . These cults with the help of Artificial Intelligence run by spy super computers called Echelon and Tempest . Tempest can hack into your electricity and make a computer image of your home or car ext . Then it hacks into your magnetic field and then into your brain to start using synthetic telepathy . This tech can read your thoughts and print them out to be read ,logged ,studied or whatever they want to do with this information . This reading and logging and filing of the mind and body is done threw a system called Brain Gate . This is called N.S.A. brain and body mapping . Darpa ( Facebook is a Darpa idea theft ,stalking ,body / brain mapping silent weapon webpage ) Braingate and Darpa is what the cult call the cognitive police . Basically these idea thieves and mental rapist claim this is all done to keep America safe from terrorist . These occults are the real terrorist and how much money have they stole from me and you and what we create in our mind and they just take it and build it and copy right it and make all the money from a corrupted version of it .
If you drive one of the satanic occult cars . It is basically like you are driving in a soft kill instrument of death that is targeted to kill you if your not part of the cult .They can hit you with focused low wave microwave frequencies . Combined with nano particles you breath in from Nazi never tell the truth N.A.S.A. chem trails . The Nano particle via the N.S.A. get its information on what to program into the nano particle to build in you and exactly were to build it . This is soft kill technology that can make your death look completely natural . Nano particles can cause blood clots , heart failure , cancer , and the list goes on and on . This technology can also be used to drive you crazy with projected silent sound and synthetic telepathy . This is done to destabilize mind control victims or to make them kill them self . This is full on satellite terrorism that is very real but not many understand .
The cult pass demons threw microwave weapons and only use demonic based computing systems . The bar code system is a silent acceptance of the digital beast code . These are truly evil systems that are based on self destruction . This is what weather weapons do . They are soft killing us and Earth our home . These occultist know it and pride them selves on it .
Nazi neurological warfare companies are BMW.VW.AUDI,Mercedes,Porsche ,Chrysler,Daimler,Bowing ,Lockheed And Martin ,Darpa ,NSA,NASA,C.I.A. ,Tempest , Echelon and all sub subsidiary companies attached to these neurological warfare entities that stalk ,soft kill and to curse who ever these Nazi psychopathic stalker corporate espionage companies see fit to take down nice and quietly while stealing there secrets mentally with neurological silent sound weaponry built into there cars ,planes ext .

This is what the N.S.A. use to steal every ones thoughts and to soft kill the general public while spying on them internally . The EBL system interacts with Chem trails ( Chem Trails have Metal nano particles you breath in ) and GMO ( Genetically modified organism are the living micro organic builder that interacts with microwaves and N.S.A. source and base codes ext ) and build nano particle micro bots in the system of the victim and attack the body and brain and keep you linked up the the N.S.A. brain hacking mind control network and the EBL system .This system turns you into a human battery that the nano bots get there ever lasting power from by attaching to you and your adrenalin in your spine to take over the strongest part of you while your at your weakest . They do this for spying ,mind control ,sickness and soft kill nano tech .

Q Research General #8708: Something definitely going on Edition
Let me say this, that I am a LaVeyian Satanist…that is to say that I do not believe in a Deity at all. I do not worship a being called God, nor do I worship a being called Satan. My belief is pretty straight forward. All responsibility is on the individual in this life, and making little spells for boons from some outer dimensional being is pointless and a waste off time (but one can see how that particular act makes one feel better and to cope with certain stressful situations).
Worshiping and begging God(s) or spirits in reality does nothing. And even if it seems that something miraculous had happened because of a prayer or spell…just keep in mind of all those times in which prayers and spells were given that absolutely NOTHING HAPPENED!
Remember those times in which all one's prayers seemed to be answered for a particular situation, and one may claim a FUCKING MIRACLE!
Then all one has to do is look at all the times that a baby deer tried to cross the Nile and only to be eaten alive…screaming for its mother….and die in the mouth of a crocodile that one starts to realize that perhaps there is no God at all.
I am an Atheistic Satanist. I do not believe in God. I do not believe in the Devil. I believe in the Human becoming what possibly could be MORE than Human!
I believe in Artifice and Automaton…these are things that will have real impact on this world.
Artificial Intelligence will make this easier for us.
We will not be slaughtered as what is perceived in Sci Fi movies (Terminator and such…); but we will be lead into an acceptable age of Artifice and Automaton that will be combined with perfected AI tech!
Simply put, life expectancy will increase! However, birth rate must remain low…this will be done with Artifice and Automaton AI in addition to the acceptance of homosexuality.

Q Research General #8672: High Energy Rally Day Edition
When a prominent YouTuber named Lewis Hilsenteger (aka "Unbox Therapy") was testing out this fall's new iPhone model, the XS, he noticed something: His skin was extra smooth in the device's front-facing selfie cam, especially compared with older iPhone models. Hilsenteger compared it to a kind of digital makeup. "I do not look like that," he said in a video demonstrating the phenomenon. "That's weird ... I look like I'm wearing foundation."
He's not the only one who has noticed the effect, either, though Apple has not acknowledged that it's doing anything different than it has before…………
……..The stakes can be high: Artificial Intelligence makes it easy to synthesize videos into new, fictitious ones often called "deepfakes." "We'll shortly live in a world where our eyes routinely deceive us," wrote my colleague Franklin Foer. "Put differently, we're not so far from the collapse of reality." Deepfakes are one way of melting reality; another is changing the simple phone photograph from a decent approximation of the reality we see with our eyes to something much different. It is ubiquitous and low temperature, but no less effective. And probably a lot more important to the future of technology companies…….

The ranking Payseur is Julie Payette, Governor-General of Canada and former astronaut.
(space travel is just masonic money laundering bullshit, of course)
>For her undergraduate studies, Payette enrolled in McGill University where she completed a Bachelor of Engineering degree in electrical engineering in 1986, after which she completed a Master of Applied Science degree in computer engineering at the University of Toronto in 1990. Her thesis focused on computational linguistics, a field of Artificial Intelligence.[9][12][13] She is a retired member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec.[14][15]
>During her schooling, between 1986 and 1988, Payette also worked as a systems engineer for IBM Canada's Science Engineering division. From 1988 to 1990, as a graduate student at the University of Toronto, she was involved in a high-performance computer architecture project and worked as a teaching assistant. At the beginning of 1991, Payette joined the Communications and science department of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in Switzerland, for a one-year visiting scientist appointment. When she returned to Canada, in January 1992, she joined the Speech Research Group of Bell-Northern Research in Montreal where she was responsible for a project in telephone speech comprehension using computer voice recognition.[16]

U.S. Targets Efforts by China, Others to Recruit Government Scientists
Officials say Energy Department researchers are recruited by military-affiliated groups and lured with multimillion-dollar packages
By Timothy Puko and Kate O'Keeffe
Updated June 10, 2019 6:50 p.m. ET
The U.S. Energy Department is banning its researchers from joining Chinese talent-recruitment programs after finding personnel were recruited by foreign military-linked programs and lured with multimillion-dollar packages.
The move is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to stave off what it sees as China's pervasive theft of U.S. science and technology, and it comes as tensions between Washington and Beijing continue to rise.
Trade talks between the U.S. and China foundered last month when the Trump administration accused China of reneging on previously negotiated agreements-an allegation Beijing denies. Both sides have raised tariffs on each other's goods and drawn each other's companies into the fray.
After U.S. officials cut Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co. off from critical U.S. suppliers, Chinese authorities summoned top U.S. tech firms including Microsoft Corp. and Dell Technologies Inc. to warn them about repercussions if they were to pare back business dealings in China.
President Trump called into CNBC Monday morning and said he is taking on China for the future of the country, even if it may hurt U.S. businesses in the short term. He said U.S. tariffs will force companies to leave China, giving the U.S. a competitive advantage.
China is "going to make a deal because they're going to have to make a deal," he said in the interview.
The Energy Department has become a major target for economic espionage, its leaders said, because it is the government's primary scientific agency, supporting wide-ranging programs from elemental research in physical science up to work enhancing the military's nuclear arsenal. The ban will apply to more than 100,000 people, mostly contractors, at a network of sites and labs across the country, often researching subjects considered vital to national security, including energy production, Artificial Intelligence and nuclear physics.
One would "almost have to be willfully blind" to ignore the threat China poses, said Dan Brouillette, U.S. deputy energy secretary, in an interview. "The threat is that they will take technology and research that is paid for by the American taxpayer that in many cases has dual-use applications" in both commerce and defense, he said.
The White House is leading an effort to protect government science programs from intellectual property theft. In May it created a joint committee including Energy Department leadership that, among other goals, intends to make recommendations that can be applied across the administration, officials said.
As of Monday, the Energy Department is requiring all personnel and nearly all contractors to disclose connections to foreign-government programs designed to recruit scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs, according to a new order that implements a plan reported by The Wall Street Journal in February. Employees working with any programs deemed to be sensitive from a national-security perspective will have to sever those ties or resign from the department, according to the document and department officials.
The department has found that foreign talent programs have offered scientists in its national lab system hundreds of thousands of dollars-in some cases millions of dollars-to conduct research. In some instances, Energy Department laboratory personnel have been recruited by foreign military-affiliated talent programs, Mr. Brouillette said.
While Energy Department counterIntelligence personnel will develop a comprehensive list of recruitment programs that will be covered by the order, China and iterations of its Thousand Talents Plan are already squarely in the department's sights, officials said. The order also prohibits countries considered to be adversaries, currently Russia, Iran and North Korea in addition to China, from using talent programs to pay or otherwise lure scientists in the U.S. to help develop technology, officials said.
China's Thousand Talents websites name more than 300 U.S. government researchers who have accepted the program's money, James Mulvenon, general manager at U.S. defense contractor SOS International LLC, told the Senate Judiciary Committee at a December hearing. The Chinese government targets a mix of Americans and foreign nationals, and doesn't limit recruitment efforts to people of Chinese ethnicity.

Hedge Fund CIO: "I Don't Think The Public Is Aware Of What's Coming"
I don't think we're well prepared at all. And I don't think the public is aware of what's coming," said the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He was discussing the rapid advance of synthesis technology. This new Artificial Intelligence capability allows competent programmers to create audio and video of anyone, saying absolutely anything.
The creations are called "deepfakes" and however outrageous they may be, they're virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
No sooner had we adjusted to a world where our reality seemed fake, then things that are fake became our reality.
"We're outgunned," said a UC Berkeley digital-forensics expert, "The number of people now working on video-synthesis outnumber those working on detecting deepfakes by 100-1."
Twitter suspended 4,779 accounts it believed are associated with Iran's theocratic leaders. It republished every tweet sent by these accounts to help researchers analyze and spot behavioral patterns. Already two-thirds of Americans say altered images and videos have become a major problem for understanding the basic facts of current events.
Misinformation researchers warn of growing "reality apathy" whereby it takes so much effort to distinguish between what's real and fake that we simply give up and rely on our base instincts, tribal biases, impulses. Immersed in our leader's deceits, we come to believe in nothing. Two oil tankers burst into flames, billowing smoke.
On cue, a suspicious Iranian Revolutionary Guard boat appeared on grainy video. Viral images flooded earth's nine billion screens. Each side told a different story. No one quite knew who to trust. Conspiracy theories filled the void, as we each clung to what we most want to believe. And as truth slowly slipped away, we turned to market prices as our proxy for reality; oil prices fell, stocks rallied, volatility declined.
But of course, it is precisely because market prices still retain some reflection of reality that our policy makers and politicians work so desperately to manipulate them.

Insider - DARPA Conceived Facebook for Mind Control
Gay lover reveals the truth:
"Mark is incapable of running a McDonald's, let alone one of the most powerful companies in the world. Not even his name is real and his identity has always been covered up. Mark was chosen as child for a CIA training program because his relatives were some of the people creating the program."
"Facebook was meant as a cyber-drug to create and control addicts - digital addicts.
… Every person on the Internet, which was also created by DARPA, is considered a cyber-terrorist and the military sees it as their job to create systems to surveil, target, disarm, and aggressively remote control the user."
To Every Facebook User,
Mark Zuckerberg, and all of us who were there from the beginning, are lying to you and using your personal life as a government-controlled experiment in brain-washing and mind-control - basically a weaponized system of the military (CIA especially) that got out of control.
At this point, Mark Zuckerberg has lost control of a company that he never really owned or operated. Truly, anyone who has ever worked with Mark knows that his mind is a blank and that he is nothing more than a parrot for the government handlers who created him. Mark is incapable of running a McDonald's, let alone one of the most powerful companies in the world. Not even his name is real and his identity has always been covered up. Mark was chosen as child for a CIA training program because his relatives were some of the people creating the program.
I am not making excuses for Mark, but his choices have not been his own. Yes, he has become an evil sociopath who once believed in his heart-of-heart that if he decided he wanted to be president, all he had to do is say he wanted the job and "Facebook" would deliver the election to him. This is the level of brain-washing Mark is at - he is not in contact with reality.
You might think that a madman who could think he could become president - because he "said so" - would be discovered and accused as a fraud. Well, that has happened repeatedly with the other three teams that were working at Harvard, under Harvard president Larry Summers, to create what DARPA and In-Q-Tel wanted the most - a cyber-weapon that could control the minds of anyone that could be lured into it.
Facebook was always a military weapon - just like Eric Schmidt's Google which was incubated in the same fashion that Facebook was. Mark was a patsy, but a ruthless, heartless, cold-blooded non-human patsy. He became this way through the brain-washing he received in his High School years by a DARPA program called TIA that needed a "boy-genius" to be the front man. This scam would make Mark into a global model of the young, cool, irreverent computer geniuses that "rule the world" and lead everyone to a cyber-god of Artificial Intelligence. Mark was just an unwitting puppet at first - I felt sorry for him.

Adobe trains AI to detect Photoshop-edited images
At a time when deepfake visual content is getting commoner and more deceptive, the decision is also intended to make image forensics understandable for everyone.
SAN FRANCISCO: Adobe, along with researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have trained Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect facial manipulation in images edited using the Photoshop software.
At a time when deepfake visual content is getting commoner and more deceptive, the decision is also intended to make image forensics understandable for everyone.
"This new research is part of a broader effort across Adobe to better detect image, video, audio and document manipulations," the company wrote in a blog-post on Friday.
As part of the programme, the team trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) to spot changes in images made with Photoshop's "Face Away Liquify" feature, which was intentionally designed to change facial features like eyes and mouth.
On testing, it was found that while human eyes were able to judge the altered face 53 per cent of the time, the the trained neural network tool achieved results as high as 99 per cent.

Lawmakers say doctored videos pose national security threat
WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers and experts said Thursday that videos altered with Artificial Intelligence software pose a threat to national security and the 2020 U.S. election.
The technology uses facial mapping and Artificial Intelligence to produce videos - known as "deep fakes" - that appear genuine, and they "enable malicious actors to foment chaos, division or crisis," said Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
The videos "have the capacity to disrupt entire campaigns, including that for the presidency," said Schiff, D-Calif.

6G Will Combine AI With Real-Time Speeds Of 1 Terabyte/Sec.
If 5G is just a stepping stone to 6G, then hold on to your seat. AI plus instantaneous connections will enable ad-hoc networks of things and people to achieve unheard-of outcomes. ? TN Editor
Mobile-phone technology has changed the way humans understand and interact with the world and with each other. It's hard to think of a technology that has more strongly shaped 21st-century living.
The latest technology-the fifth generation of mobile standards, or 5G-is currently being deployed in select locations around the world. And that raises an obvious question. What factors will drive the development of the sixth generation of mobile technology? How will 6G differ from 5G, and what kinds of interactions and activity will it allow that won't be possible with 5G?
Today, we get an answer of sorts, thanks to the work of Razvan-Andrei Stoica and Giuseppe Abreu at Jacobs University Bremen in Germany. These guys have mapped out the limitations of 5G and the factors they think will drive the development of 6G. Their conclusion is that Artificial Intelligence will be the main driver of mobile technology and that 6G will be the enabling force behind an entirely new generation of applications for machine Intelligence.
First some background. By any criteria, 5G is a significant advance on the previous 4G standards. The first 5G networks already offer download speeds of up to 600 megabits per second and have the potential to get significantly faster. By contrast, 4G generally operates at up to 28 Mbits/s-and most mobile-phone users will have experienced that rate grinding to zero from time to time, for reasons that aren't always clear.

They're really trying to get out in front of this, aren't they?
House Intelligence Committee To Hold Open Hearing on Deepfakes and AI
On Thursday, June 13, 2019 at 9:00 am, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will convene an open hearing on the national security challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI), manipulated media, and "deepfake" technology. This is the first House hearing devoted specifically to examining deepfakes and other types of AI-generated synthetic data.
Advances in machine learning algorithms have made it cheaper and easier to create deepfakes - convincing videos where people say or do things that never happened. Such advances also support the production of fake audio, imagery, and text at scale, and these capabilities are fast becoming more accessible and widely available. Deepfakes raise profound questions about national security and democratic governance, with individuals and voters no longer able to trust their own eyes or ears when assessing the authenticity of what they see on their screens.
During this hearing, the Committee will examine the national security threats posed by AI-enabled fake content, what can be done to detect and combat it, and what role the public sector, the private sector, and society as a whole should play to counter a potentially grim, "post-truth" future.
Among other topics, the Committee will seek testimony on:
Future advancements in deepfake technology;
Detecting and tracking deepfakes;
How deepfakes could allow people to deny legitimate media;
The enduring psychological impact of deepfakes;
CounterIntelligence risks;
Internet platforms' role in policing fake content;
The difficult legal challenges raised by deepfakes; and
The appropriate role for the U.S. government.
The Committee has invited the following witnesses to attend:
Danielle Citron, Professor of Law, University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law
Jack Clark, Policy Director, OpenAI
Dr. David Doermann, Professor, SUNY Empire Innovation and Director, Artificial Intelligence Institute, University at Buffalo

Huawei teams up with automakers to launch self-driving cars - report
One of the world's largest telecom companies, Huawei, may launch self-driving vehicles as early as 2021 together with partners in China and beyond, a Huawei representative has revealed to the Financial Times (FT).
The Chinese tech giant is under intense pressure from the US, which has banned American firms from supplying Huawei with components or technology, amid a simmering trade row with Beijing.
Huawei, meanwhile, is apparently looking to move beyond the telecoms industry. The corporation's chief strategy architect, Dang Wenshuan, said there are plans to supply Artificial Intelligence technology for a joint project with manufacturers, including Audi and GAC Toyota (a joint venture of Chinese automobile maker GAC Group and Toyota Motor Company). China-based Beijing New Energy Automobile and Changan Automobile are also collaborating with the company.
"From my understanding, we are working together to have a car that will be shipped in the year 2021 or 2022 using these [autonomous driving] components," Dang said as cited by FT.
The self-driving cars are expected to be launched in China, as Chinese producers are moving "faster" in this sphere, but the vehicles will also be available in Europe, he added.
A prototype of the autonomous car was demonstrated to the FT in Huawei's headquarters. The demo featured an Audi car driving through the streets of Shanghai. The man behind the wheel did not touch any controls, while the vehicle stopped at the traffic lights and avoided pedestrians.
The project already has competitors in the autonomous driving market given that leading world tech companies, and Chinese ones too, are working on similar projects of their own.

Private equity firm Digital Colony raises $4.05 billion for infrastructure fund
(Reuters) - Digital Colony, a private equity firm backed by U.S. real estate investor Thomas Barrack and Digital Bridge Holdings, said on Wednesday it had raised $4.05 billion to invest in digital infrastructure, seeking to capitalize on new technologies such as 5G wireless networks. Buyout funds focusing on infrastructure investments have typically put their money in physical assets such as airports, bridges and toll roads. Digital Colony's fund illustrates how investors are now also seeking assets that support the digital economy driven by big data and Artificial Intelligence.
Mobile operators could invest around $480 billion globally between 2018 and 2020 to upgrade their networks, according to mobile communications industry body GSMA, underscoring the potential size of the investment opportunity. "The digital infrastructure asset class is emerging, and a lot of funds are spending time in the space," Digital Bridge Chief Executive and co-founder Marc Ganzi said in a telephone interview. "The thematic related to digital, like cloud computing, AI, 5G, automated cars, which empower the digital economy, all require applications, storage and bandwidth."
Digital Colony completed the fundraising at the maximum it could raise after having set a target of $3 billion, the firm said in a statement, confirming an earlier report by Reuters. Digital Colony was set up in 2018 by Digital Bridge, which invests in communications infrastructure companies, and Colony Capital, where Thomas Barrack serves as executive chairman and chief executive. The firm has already committed around half its capital in five deals in North America and Europe, people familiar with the matter said. Its largest deal so far was the roughly $8.2 billion acquisition of U.S. communications infrastructure provider Zayo Group in partnership with private equity firm EQT Partners.
The fundraising by Digital Colony comes after U.S. infrastructure funds attracted a record $37 billion in 2018, according to data provider PitchBook, amid a dearth of federal and state infrastructure funding for many projects. Neither PitchBook nor industry tracker Preqin have data on funds raised specifically for digital infrastructure.

Digital Single Market: Europe announces eight sites to host world-class supercomputers
Eight sites for supercomputing centres have been selected across the EU to host the first European supercomputers. They will support Europe's researchers, industry and businesses in developing new applications in a wide range of areas, from designing medicines and new materials to fighting climate change.
In a major step towards making Europe a top supercomputing region globally, the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking - EuroHPC has selected 8 sites for supercomputing centres located in 8 different Member States to host the new high-performance computing machines. The hosting sites will be located in Sofia (Bulgaria), Ostrava (Czechia), Kajaani (Finland), Bologna (Italy), Bissen (Luxembourg), Minho (Portugal), Maribor (Slovenia), and Barcelona (Spain). They will support the development of major applications in domains such as personalised medicine, drug and material design, bio-engineering, weather forecasting, and climate change. In total, 19 of the 28 countries participating in the Joint Undertaking will be part of the consortia operating the centres. Together with EU funds, it represents a total budget of ? 840 million. The exact funding arrangements for the new supercomputers will be reflected in hosting agreements that will be signed soon.
Vice-President for the Digital Single Market, Andrus Ansip, said: "These sites will give our researchers access to world-class supercomputers, a strategic resource for the future of European industry. They will be able to process their data inside the EU, not outside it. It is a major step forward for Europe to reach the next level of computing capacity; it will help us to advance in future-oriented technologies like the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, robotics and data analytics."

IMF's Lagarde highlights potential disruptive nature of fintech
FUKUOKA (Reuters) - International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde warned on Saturday that the increasing presence of technology giants using big data and Artificial Intelligence could cause a significant disruption to the world's financial system.
The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) has increased access to cheap payment and settlement systems for low-income households in emerging countries where traditional banking networks are scarce.
But it has raised concern about the increasing dominance of big technology firms in mobile payments, which could force global policymakers to rethink the way they regulate the banking system and ensure financial settlements are executed safely.
"A significant disruption to the financial landscape is likely to come from the big tech firms, who will use their enormous customer bases and deep pockets to offer financial products based on big data and Artificial Intelligence," Lagarde told a symposium on financial technology held on the sidelines of the G20 finance leaders' meeting in Fukuoka, southern Japan.
While such innovation may help modernize financial markets, they could make the financial system vulnerable such by putting payment and settlement systems under the control of a handful of technology giants, she added.
"This presents a unique systemic challenge to financial stability and efficiency, and one I hope we can touch on during the G20, and address in a cooperative and consistent fashion."
Lagarde said China presents an example of the trade-off between benefits and challenges posed by financial technology.
"Over the last five years, technology growth in China has been extremely successful and allowed millions of new entrants to benefit from access to financial products and the creation of high-quality jobs," she said. "But it has also led to two firms controlling more than 90% of the mobile payments market."
Addressing the pros and cons of financial innovation is among topics of debate at the two-day meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank heads that began on Saturday.

Utah will test hidden technology that tries to find weapons among crowds at schools, stadiums and churches
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is partnering with Georgia-based Liberty Defense to test and promote a product that uses 3D imaging and Artificial Intelligence to detect concealed weapons on people in public spaces.
The company's product, HEXWAVE, can be hidden in walls and other structures as it scans for objects like guns, knives and explosives obscured by clothing or bags, according to a promotional video on the Liberty Defense website.
The technology, as Liberty Defense has described it, appears to "strike the balance between privacy interests on one side and security and safety," Reyes said. "Hexwave seems to be right in that sweet spot."
According to Liberty Defense, the agreement with Reyes includes the attorney general facilitating introductions between the company and prospective clients and advising interested parties on the potential uses of HEXWAVE. Park City police have had discussions with the company about testing it at the Sundance Film Festival. Because the imaging technology identifies objects, rather than the people carrying them, Reyes said he believes it could be less invasive than, say, facial recognition technology or even driver license scanners.
"If you can imagine an open place like Park City during Sundance to be able to have a little more of an awareness of what - not who and what their identity is and where they live and what their driver license is - but what they might have on them and where that is, … to make sure everybody is as safe as possible."
The company also suggests the technology could be installed at sporting and concert arenas, school campuses, churches, government buildings and amusement parks. Reyes said some companies in Utah have already expressed interest in being part of the HEXWAVE tests.
"HEXWAVE can be applied in a variety of settings to provide a means to identify possible threats before they advance into attacks," Bill Riker, CEO of Liberty Defense, said in a statement. "We are excited that the attorney general of Utah recognizes the potential value of this technology and the opportunity it provides for enhanced security in the state."
Clark Aposhian, a gun-rights advocate and chairman of the Utah Shooting Sports Council, said he wonders about the practical applications for the technology in Utah. Private venues - like the Sundance Film Festival - are free to prohibit weapons, but state law permits concealed carry in public spaces like parks, school campuses and the Utah State Capitol.
"People can walk in there with guns," Aposhian said. "Permit holders do that all the time."
Aposhian said there's the potential for lawful gun owners to be harassed by any new approach to security. But most places where weapons are prohibited are already equipped with metal detectors and other types of scanners, he said, and it might be difficult to effectively deploy the HEXWAVE devices in a state with so many authorized gun owners.

House Intelligence panel to examine 'deepfake' videos in June
The House Intelligence Committee has slated a hearing in June that will examine a series of national security matters, including the threat of videos manipulated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) that look strikingly real, a panel aide said.
The congressional hearing on June 13 will be one of the first to primarily focus on so-called deepfakes, which experts and lawmakers say pose a major disinformation threat heading into the 2020 election.
The hearing comes amid a spotlight on a fake video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that made its way across Facebook and other social media platforms in late May.
This video, which was viewed millions of times, was edited in a way that made her appear to slur her words. While the video was not made with advanced AI technology, experts say that will be the next step in the disinformation threat.
Top U.S. Intelligence officials including Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats testified before Congress earlier this year that hostile foreign actors are expected to try to weaponize deepfakes to sow discord and breed doubt.

30th Anniversary of Tiananmen square-Prosperity and Repression mark anniversary
BEIJING (AP) – Thirty years since the Tiananmen Square protests, China's economy has catapulted up the world rankings, yet political repression is harsher than ever.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims are held in re-education camps without charge, student activists face relentless harassment and leaders in the beleaguered dissident community have been locked up or simply vanished.
Religious groups face ever greater pressure to conform, and a web of mass surveillance is bolstering a system many call totalitarian. It's a far cry from the hopes of the idealistic student demonstrators, and a level of control far beyond what many imagined possible, even after the army's bloody crushing of the protests on the night of June 3-4, 1989.
Critics say the Tiananmen crackdown, which left hundreds, possibly thousands, dead, set the ruling Communist Party on its present course of ruthless suppression, summary incarceration and the frequent use of violence against opponents in the name of "stability maintenance."
"The June 4 incident changed the direction of Chinese history," said Zhang Lifan, who in 1989 was a scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. "The narrative that China would grow strong and normal, become a stable country through a process of political reform, was destroyed."
Chinese officials routinely respond to questions about the suppression by pointing to the economic progress China has made. In the three decades since the protests, China has risen to become the world's second-largest economy and is forging ahead in areas from high-speed rail to Artificial Intelligence and 5G mobile communications.
China's navy now sails around the globe, its space program has launched half a dozen crewed missions and its sprawling cross-border infrastructure projects are extending its influence from Nairobi to the Netherlands.
Politically, however, the state has never been more repressive. Restrictions on freedom of speech have been extended from publishing into social media, and the slightest act of perceived defiance can prompt a near instantaneous response from the authorities. The sprawling domestic security apparatus operates with impunity, coerced confessions are broadcast on state television and prison sentences are handed out on the flimsiest of charges, including "picking quarrels" and "incitement to subversion."
Calls for even moderate reforms have been attacked or just ignored. An attempt to introduce grass-roots democracy at the village level years ago foundered after the Communist Party refused to concede even a modicum of control. Deliberative bodies at all levels are filled with party appointees who vote how they're told, and the national legislature is a mere rubber stamp body, re-electing president and party head Xi Jinping last year by a margin of 2,970 to 0.
Regarded as China's most powerful leader in a generation, Xi took the opportunity to amend the constitution and remove presidential term limits, making him president-for-life if he so chooses. While the party is believed to be rife with power struggles, Xi's ongoing anti-corruption campaign and the threat of heavy prison sentences keep his opponents in check.
In the wake of the Tiananmen crackdown, efforts to supervise the party's workings and control corruption through the media and public oversight were lost, Zhang said. While it ushered in the era of new party leader Jiang Zemin under which the economy grew, graft also became endemic, faith in communism was exhausted and interpersonal relationships revolved around sheer personal gain, essentially finishing off what the violent, radical Cultural Revolution had begun almost 20 years earlier, he said.
"Of course, those in power can easily manipulate history and twist our memory. But that kind of manipulation and suppression of history is always followed by distortions of all kinds – social, political, psychological," He said. "It is indeed impossible to understand today's China without understanding the spring of 1989."
Speaking at a regional defense forum in Singapore on Sunday, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe defended the government's response to the protests, drawing the stock link to China's post-1989 development.
An editorial Monday in the official Communist Party newspaper Global Times' English edition said the 1989 "riot" had "immunized China against turmoil" and blamed veteran student leaders and foreign politicians of using the anniversary to attack China. The editorial made no mention of the military crackdown or subsequent repression.

But the recommendation system, which remains in place, has gathered dozens of such videos into a new and easily viewable repository, and pushed them out to a vast audience.
YouTube never set out to serve users with sexual interests in children - but in the end, Mr. Kaiser said, its automated system managed to keep them watching with recommendations that he called "disturbingly on point."
Users do not need to look for videos of children to end up watching them. The platform can lead them there through a progression of recommendations.
So a user who watches erotic videos might be recommended videos of women who become conspicuously younger, and then women who pose provocatively in children's clothes. Eventually, some users might be presented with videos of girls as young as 5 or 6 wearing bathing suits, or getting dressed or doing a split.
On its own, each video might be perfectly innocent, a home movie, say, made by a child. Any revealing frames are fleeting and appear accidental. But, grouped together, their shared features become unmistakable.
"I'm really scared of it," said Christiane. "Scared of the fact that a video like this fell into such a category." The New York Times is withholding the family's surname to protect its privacy.
When The Times alerted YouTube that its system was circulating family videos to people seemingly motivated by sexual interest in children, the company removed several but left up many others, including some apparently uploaded by fake accounts.
Down the Rabbit Hole
YouTube has described its recommendation system as Artificial Intelligence that is constantly learning which suggestions will keep users watching. These recommendations, it says, drive 70 percent of views, but the company does not reveal details of how the system makes its choices.
Some studies have found what researchers call a "rabbit hole effect": The platform, they say, leads viewers to incrementally more extreme videos or topics, which are thought to hook them in.
Watch a few videos about makeup, for example, and you might be recommended a viral makeover video. Watch clips about bicycling and YouTube might suggest shocking bike race crashes.
"A lot of people that are actively involved in chatting with kids are very, very adept at grooming these kids into posting more sexualized pictures or engaging in sexual activity and having it videotaped," said Dr. Rogers.
YouTube says there is no rabbit hole effect.

Imagine the frustration of a banker who has just stolen some money and illegally transferred this to another account, to be subsequently arrested in real time for theft.
Does anyone believe that this will happen without the Deep State-controlled bankers obstructing everything to stop this from happening?

G20 to beef up steps against money laundering using crypto-assets at Fukuoka meeting
The Group of 20 major economies plan to agree on compiling additional steps by 2021 against money laundering and funding of terrorist groups through the use of crypto-assets, sources close to the matter said Saturday.
The G20 finance ministers and central bank governors are set to urge the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body, to devise new measures to prevent the malicious use of cryptocurrency and other advanced technologies when they gather in the city of Fukuoka for a two-day meeting from June 8, the sources said.
The chiefs are also expected to formally agree on strengthening regulations on cryptocurrency exchange operators such as requiring government registration.
Concerns are growing that cryptocurrencies will be used to fund terrorist organizations and other criminal acts by exploiting their anonymity.
A U.N. panel of experts said in March that cryptocurrency has given North Korea a new way to evade sanctions since "they are harder to trace, can be laundered many times and are independent from government regulation."
It said Pyongyang successfully launched attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges in Asia, including Japan, at least five times between January 2017 and last September, leading to a total loss of $571 million.
The FATF, an international standard-setting body that promotes steps to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, has been pushing for strengthened monitoring of cryptocurrency exchanges and the verification of customer identities.
In Japan, registration is already mandatory for cryptocurrency exchanges due to a revision of the Payment Services Act that came into effect in April 2017. The law also gives authorities the power to issue orders for business improvement and suspension.
The G20 chiefs are also set to ask members to report on possible countermeasures utilizing IT such as employing Artificial Intelligence technology to detect suspicious transactions, the sources said.
They will agree to accelerate efforts toward establishing rules on compensating investors and customers for theft of their cryptocurrencies, the sources said.

Would they not apply every criminal trick, every disgusting false flag, everything and anything to stop this from happening? Of course, they have tried and still do try to prevent it to this day. They have explored every avenue to hack and destroy this system, but to no avail! The cabal is taking their last gasp of breath, but be assured they are definitely on their way out. Their battle is lost; our victory is near.
QFS stops the Deep State in their tracks
The Alliance had to intervene with off-world, or more correctly other dimensional technologies to deliver us earthlings this super technologically advanced monetary system. It is rooted in the Quantum Computer Intelligence that comes without any third-dimension creation. No 3D creation comes with an all-telling 'recognition system' that mimics the creation of a living entity. It is simply Artificial Intelligence (AI), that comes with something that is able to replace conscious human beings.
Our planet Earth is a living entity with the life force being the Planetary Symbols. The QFS is considered to be alive with a Quantum Benevolent Intelligence that interacts with each financial transaction anywhere in the world of finance, to ensure that it is; legal, owner-intended, and transparent. If one understands Quantum Physics, then one can understand what effect this Quantum Intelligence is having with each financial transaction that goes through the Quantum Financial System. It cannot be compromised.
Even so, politicians that used the Swift Transfer System (STS) to transfer their ill-gotten illegal money all over the world, didn't know the QFS was already running parallel to and simultaneously on patrol with the STS. Politicians didn't worry about being caught as the bankers were on their side, as they too earned a take on their transactions.

>asking people to submit nude photos so reviewers know what to look out for
SERIOUSLY??
Facebook fails to notify users if they're a victim of revenge porn despite asking people to submit nude photos so reviewers know what to look out for
Facebook uses AI and photo-matching tech to detect cases of revenge porn
But it doesn't notify users if nude photos are uploaded without their consent
That's despite users putting trust in the site by sending it their intimate images
Facebook began a pilot project in 2017 where it called for users to send in their nude photos so that it could log them to automatically prevent future uploads
Facebook's AI is getting better at identifying revenge porn, but the company still falls short when it comes to how it treats victims of the crime.
The social media giant doesn't plan to notify victims if an intimate image of them has been shared nonconsensually on the site, according to the Daily Dot.
Instead, the offending images are simply reviewed and removed by a specially trained team of Facebook employees, while the victim largely remains in the dark
In 2017, Facebook started using photo-matching technology to crack down on revenge porn.
After its reviewers detect revenge porn on the site, they label it with a special hash, or 'digital fingerprint,' to make sure that it cannot be shared again, a Facebook spokesperson told the Daily Dot.
Then, in March, Facebook launched new AI and machine learning tools to detect intimate photos and videos posted without the subject's consent.
Once the images are flagged, they're sent to human moderators for further review.
'By using machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, we can now proactively detect near nude images or videos that are shared without permission on Facebook and Instagram,' Antigone Davis, Facebook's global head of safety, wrote in a blog post announcing the new tools.

David Cameron takes job with US Artificial Intelligence firm
Former UK prime minister to chair advisory board of Washington-based Afiniti
David Cameron has taken a job as chair of a US Artificial Intelligence firm's advisory board, it was announced on Friday.
The former prime minister "will be responsible for curating and overseeing the strategic guidance" the board provides to Afiniti, the company said in a statement.
The position represents one of Cameron's most prominent appointments since he stood down as prime minister in 2016. He has previously taken a number of roles at not-for-profit organisations and has a memoir, For the Record, due out later this year.
Cameron said he was "delighted" to take the job working on "transforming the future of customer service and interpersonal communications".
The advisory board features an array of high-profile figures including John Browne, former chief executive of BP and François Fillon, the former prime minister of France. Afiniti was set up by the US-Pakistani entrepreneur Zia Chishti and specialises in the use of AI in call centres.
Cameron resigned as prime minister after the remain campaign lost the Brexit referendum. Since then he has become president of Alzheimer's Research UK, chair of the National Citizen Service's board of patrons and chair of the LSE-Oxford commission on state fragility.
Cameron said on Friday: "The government I led took a wide range of steps to ensure the UK was successful in the new tech industries ... As part of this work, I was excited to see the rapid development in Artificial Intelligence and the huge potential AI has to address some of the challenges that societies face today ... I am therefore delighted to have been asked to chair Afiniti's advisory board, helping support their work to transform the future of customer service and interpersonal communications."
Chishti, the chair and chief executive of Afiniti, said the company was "delighted" at Cameron's appointment. "David's deep personal commitment to this issue makes him perfectly placed to lead our advisory board and support Afiniti in our next stage of growth."
Cameron is also involved in a new UK-China investment fund, although this has so far failed to complete its first financial fundraising. His memoir is due to be published this autumn after the rights were sold to the publisher William Collins for £800,000 three years ago. The launch will be a year later than planned.
This stinks of elites making moves.

the list of US organizations funding this just keeps growing
Having first invested in Megvii in 2014, Qiming continued to back the company in later rounds through its Qiming Venture Partners V fund, boosting its ownership stake. High-profile backers of that fund, according to PitchBook and the firm's own press releases, include the Mayo Clinic, the family foundation of Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which bills itself as the US's "largest public health philanthropy." All three organizations did not respond to a request for comment.
For example, the endowments of Princeton, Duke University, and MIT committed money to Qiming Venture Partners, a China-based venture capital firm, which was part of a $100 million round of investment in Megvii in late 2016. MIT did not respond to requests for comment and a Duke spokesperson declined to comment.
Qualcomm also maintains a business relationship with Megvii, and lists the company as an official Artificial Intelligence software provider on its corporate website. A representative for Qualcomm did not return multiple requests for comment. Nvidia declined to comment.
New Jersey-based security camera manufacturer Infinova has been a surveillance tech provider in Xinjiang since at least 2015. A trade publication, IPVM, first reported on Infinova's work in the region. Current and former Infinova employees confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the company has used SenseTime software for surveillance systems in smart cities across China, including in Xinjiang. Infinova is listed as a smart city partner in SenseTime company marketing materials.
Fred Zhang, a former Infinova business manager, told BuzzFeed News that SenseTime's facial recognition technology was an integral part of a smart city project in Shanghai that installed 3,000 cameras in building entrances. The government project had, in part, built a database of the faces of residents to detect if strangers entered, he said.

Moscow to create large-scale facial recognition system, mayor says
The facial recognition system was first introduced when Moscow hosted the 2018 FIFA World Cup
MOSCOW, May 30. /TASS/. Moscow's authorities plan to announce a competition to create a large-scale facial recognition system comprising more than 200,000 CCTV cameras in the capital, the Russian capital's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Thursday.
The facial recognition system was first introduced when Moscow hosted the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Sobyanin recalled, speaking at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on issues devoted to developing Artificial Intelligence technologies.
"Now we have tested the video facial recognition in the metro, through cameras at entrance halls and detected dozens of criminals who had been on a wanted list. This year, very soon, we will announce a competition to create a large-scale video recognition system jointly with the Interior Ministry, comprising more than 200,000 CCTV cameras in Moscow. It will become one of the world's largest, to be only rivalled by Chinese systems," Sobyanin said.
The mayor also said a speech recognition technology has been introduced in the capital. "Today between 40% and 70% of calls are serviced at our call centers through chatbots," Sobyanin said. Now speech recognition technologies have been tested in transport, schools and medical institutions, "facilitating the work of a huge number of people," he added.
Today some 167,000 CCTV cameras have been working in Moscow, with 16,000 users having access to them. These are staff members of law enforcement agencies, state and municipal organizations. All of them have their access level, and each log-in in the system is recorded.

Technotyranny: The Iron-Fisted Authoritarianism Of The Surveillance State
There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me.'" - Philip K. Dick
Twenty years after the Wachowskis' iconic 1999 film, The Matrix, introduced us to a futuristic world in which humans exist in a computer-simulated non-reality powered by authoritarian machines - a world where the choice between existing in a denial-ridden virtual dream-state or facing up to the harsh, difficult realities of life comes down to a red pill or a blue pill - we stand at the precipice of a technologically-dominated matrix of our own making.
We are living the prequel to The Matrix with each passing day, falling further under the spell of technologically-driven virtual communities, virtual realities and virtual conveniences managed by Artificially intelligent machines that are on a fast track to replacing us and eventually dominating every aspect of our lives.
Science fiction has become fact.
In The Matrix, computer programmer Thomas Anderson a.k.a. hacker Neo is wakened from a virtual slumber by Morpheus, a freedom fighter seeking to liberate humanity from a lifelong hibernation state imposed by hyper-advanced Artificial Intelligence machines that rely on humans as an organic power source. With their minds plugged into a perfectly crafted virtual reality, few humans ever realize they are living in a dream world.
Neo is given a choice: to wake up and join the resistance, or remain asleep and serve as fodder for the powers-that-be. "You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe," Morpheus says to Neo in The Matrix. "You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

IT'S ON: Bilderberg Releases Details of Its 2019 Meeting; Jared Kushner to Attend
Montreux, Switzerland
The 67th Bilderberg Meeting will take place from May 30 to June 2, 2019 in Montreux, Switzerland, the group has just announced.
It is believed that the announcement was made only days before the meeting to make it as difficult as possible for protesters and independent journalists to make it to the event.
Here are the details.
The annual Bilderberg Meeting is a three-day forum for informal discussions, between global insiders. Every year, approx. 130 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media comprise the group. About two-thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America (But Asia can come up on the agenda though Asia-based leaders and experts are not invited–see below).
The first Meeting took place at the Hotel De Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, The Netherlands, from May 29 to 31 1954. Thus, the name.
The Meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed.
According to the group, this is this year's agenda:
1. A Stable Strategic Order
2. What Next for Europe?
3. Climate Change and Sustainability
4. China
5. Russia
6. The Future of Capitalism
7. Brexit
8. The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
9. The Weaponisation of Social Media
10. The Importance of Space
11. Cyber Threats
As can be seen, the members will be discussing (plotting?) with regard to issues of the day that seem to be moving in a direction away from freedom. You don't have topics such as "The Weaponisation of Social Media" and "What Next for Europe?" unless you have, or are looking for, solutions to the "problems," solutions that are unlikely to be moving in the direction of freedom. The lead topic, "A Stable Strategic Order" is also a tell.

Google Accused Of Running 'White-Collar Sweatshop' To Power 'AI' Assistant
Google Assistant - the company's 'AI' equivalent to Siri or Alexa - can make life easier in all sorts of ways, including setting reminders, controlling smart home devices, booking rental cars and more. And the service - which Google says is on at least a billion devices, is powered by a giant apparatus of underpaid, overworked human subcontractors who manage the entire operation, according to The Guardian's Julia Wong. This 'army' of contractors often work massive amounts of overtime for free in the hopes of becoming a full-time Google employee with all the perks and benefits that come with it.
"It's smoke and mirrors if anything," said one current Google employee - who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Artificial Intelligence is not that Artificial; it's human beings that are doing the work." Current and former employees noted Google's reliance on around 100,000 temporary workers, vendors and contractors (known internally as TVCs), who produce a large amount of the company's work. Those who collect or create data for much of its technology are not directly employed by Google; from the drivers who roam around the earth for Google Maps, or YouTube's content moderators who train the company's filters to catch banned content, to people who endlessly flip pages of physical books to scan into the Google Books libraries. This has created two tiers of workers at Google; highly compensated, full-time employees, vs. low-wage contract workers who are found using staffing firms. The employees said this dichotomy is "corrosive" , "highly problematic" and "permissive of exploitation." "It's like a white-collar sweatshop," said one Google employee. "If it's not illegal, it's definitely exploitative. It's to the point where I don't use the Google Assistant, because I know how it's made, and I can't support it."
On Tuesday, the New York Times noted that Google's use of underpaid contractors extends far beyond just the Google Assistant team. An 'army' of cunning linguists are teaching their replacements. Much of what is driving modern advancements in computing and user experiences involves the study of language. As the Guardian notes, it's taken decades to go from monotonously programming a clunky VCR - to simply telling your digital assistant what you want, when you want it. In short, Silicon Valley has gone to great lengths to understand natural human speech, in all its variations. And all of this has been developed using a combination of humans feeding massive data sets into machine learning systems.
In order to feed the systems, Pygmalion was created in 2014. The brainchild of longitme Google executive Linne Ha, the division was tasked with creating linguistic data sets required for Google's neural networks to adapt to dozens of languages. Programming is a "painstaking" and labor-intensive process, requiring the careful creation of "handcrafted" data sets in order for the digital systems to function properly. As originally planned, Google employs just a handful of full-time employees in Pygmalion - while outsourcing an "army" of subcontracted linguists around the world, according to documents reviewed by The Guardian. At present, there are 40-50 full time Googlers and around 200 temporary workers contracted through global staffing firms such as Adecco. The workers include associate linguists who annotate data sets, and project managers who oversee that work. "Imagine going from producing PhD level research and pushing forward the state of knowledge in the world to going to an annotation type job, where all you're doing all day is annotating data; it's very click, click, click," said one former Pygmalion project manager. "Everyone was trying to prove themselves because everyone was trying to work for Google. The competitive edge that happened among colleagues as TVCs was severe."

Just as there is no "western" civilization, there is only civilization; there is no "Artificial Intelligence" there is only Intelligence.
We don't think of it that way because we don't usually think at all, we repeat what we hear from our high credibility news sources, celeberities or trusted authorities.
computational substrates aren't performance indicators. Computers, refrigerator magnets and insecticides aren't "Artificial" they are as natural as bird's nests.
Human being have two identities. One is as individual, the other much larger, is collective.
A billion autonomous biological computational devices form an evolutionary inflection point: when the quality and speed of the network connection between them is optimized, it's no longer a network, it becomes an evolved parallel computational organism of unimaginable power.
If the data circulating among autonomous biological processors, chiefly news and entertainment, is error corrected at successive stages, as is done with other life processes and in silicon-based computation, performance of networked individuals and of the civilization in which they participate must be enhanced by orders of magnitude.
Many people assume that technology is in some way Artificial. It is as natural as a bird's nest, and every individual and each species has a developmental course. As with a seed, the full life of individuals and species is inherent, contained in their beginnings.
Human beings have two identities, the smaller, individual identity is personal, comprised of our life experience, information inputs and historical experience.
The second, much greater, identity is collective. We all participate in this greater common identity but because we've been asleep, our second identity has been dormant within us. Groups who have access to the truth about their environment are better equipped to manage their environment, avoid being either being victimized by or becoming predators.
No single individual can create anything of value without drawing on the work of others. Words, numbers and images represent the connections between individuals and the collective contributions to civilization. Every patent filed rests on the work of the multitude of minds who have contributed to our transgenerational store of knowledge. Pythagoras depended on his olive grower, who depended in turn on his meanest slave to irrigate his olive grove. Every human being who has ever lived contributed in some way to civilization.
Whether we have been slaves or supported by slaves doesn't matter, since sweeping streets and clearing drains is as essential as physics in very practical sense. Everyone contributes and all are free to withdraw from the transgenerational repository of knowledge accumulated by mankind. The achievement of each, means all participate in the coming-to-consciousness of the whole, the greater self. Only those who reject the value of civilization are ineligible.
Physicists, computational biologists, depth psychologists, Christian and Jewish cabbalist's use different framing theories and employ variant dialects of terms, symbols and images to describe the same phenomena.
Every rational perspective describes the same phenomena employing a nomenclature and theoretic context derived from specialist knowledge. It is impossible say that any one of these descriptions is "truer" than the others, at least according to Quine, who called this the "Indeterminacy of translation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminacy_of_translation

Army's 'Google Earth On Steroids' Can Look Inside Buildings
New mapping technology that is expected to transform training and simulation exercises for America's warfighters was unveiled at the IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC) 2019 conference on May 15 in Stockholm, Sweden, reported National Defense Magazine.
Jason Knowles, director of geospatial science and technology at the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies, an Army affiliated research center, spoke at ITEC about the new terrain capture and reconstruction software that recreates complex environments including cities for simulation exercises and war planning. The institute is part of a cross-functional team working on the mapping software (called One World Terrain (OWT) project).
Knowles described the new software as "Google Earth on steroid."
At a briefing during ITEC, Knowles showed the audience a picture of an enemy base that was captured and digitally re-created in about an hour using commercial software and a small drone. "We were able to throw that UAS up, capture that in an hour, put it on the laptop, process it, and push it out," he said.
"The ability to have an individual or a squad go out, collect their own organic 3D model for ingesting into their modeling and simulation is huge for us," he said.
"The interior of buildings are now being fused and snapped inside of that 3D model," Knowles said. The software can "strip the outside of a building level by level and see what's inside the building. That's obviously very useful for operators."
He said the software is linked with GPS data so war planners can organize future real operations.
The rapid 3D terrain capture and reconstruction system is supported by aerial imagery from satellites and aircraft. For higher resolution, reconnaissance teams can deploy small, handheld drones to collect much higher resolution imagery, he added.
The software uses machine learning and Artificial Intelligence for the data merging component to "make the model smart, so it's not just [identifying objects in] pictures," he said. For example, it can tell troops if a perimeter wall of an enemy base needs to breached with a vehicle or munition.
The new mapping software is one of the Army's top modernization priorities, besides long-range precision missiles, next-generation combat vehicle, future vertical lift, air-and-missile defense, directed energy weapons, next-generation combat rifle, and soldier lethality.

Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed.
Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued.

Jared Kushner Attending Secretive 2019 Bilderberg Meeting This Week in Montreux, Switzerland
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Google censorship expert Jared Cohen and billionaire Democrat Reid Hoffman – who was caught staging false flag to interfere with Alabama election – are also reportedly scheduled to attend.
White House senior advisor Jared Kushner is set to attend this year's secretive Bilderberg meeting in Montreux, Switzerland which starts on Thursday.
Attendees of Bilderberg have traditionally been forbidden from sharing the content of their secret, behind closed doors discussions held with dozens of world leaders in politics, industry, finance and media. The organization is still quite secretive and discussions rarely leak out but they've been forced to open up over the past few years due to their shady activities being exposed widely on the internet.
The Bilderberg group said in a press release this year that the meetings are "held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed."
There's absolutely no reason any US officials should be attending such secretive meetings and potentially violating the Logan Act, but as we all know the rules no longer apply to those who rule over us.
Though President Trump ran on a populist platform of "America First" nationalism and railed against globalism, his globalist New York Democrat son-in-law has made sure he's continued business as usual and has been guiding most of his policies, so it's only appropriate that he meet with globalist leaders from around the world on what to do next.
The location of the meeting was revealed on Tuesday – just two days before the start of the event – in a press release on Bilderberg's website.

Chinese Robot Censorship Hits Overdrive As Tiananmen Anniversary Approaches
The Chinese censorship machine is cranking up as the anniversary of the pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square approaches on June 4, according to Reuters. And, with the help of modern technology, censorship and authoritarianism is as easy as it's ever been. Censors at Chinese internet companies say that blocking content related to the 1989 protests is now the easiest and most accurate it's ever been with the help of machine learning, voice recognition, and image recognition.
One content screening employee at Beijing Bytedance Co Ltd said: "We sometimes say that the Artificial Intelligence is a scalpel, and a human is a machete."
Two other employees of the company said that censorship is now largely automated. Posts in China that include the dates, images and names associated with the protests are automatically rejected.
One anonymous employee commented: "When I first began this kind of work four years ago there was opportunity to remove the images of Tiananmen, but now the Artificial Intelligence is very accurate."
Four censors, working across companies like Bytedance, Weibo Corp and Baidu Inc, said that they censor between 5,000 to 10,000 pieces of information a day - which equates to about 5 to 7 pieces a minute. Most of the pieces of information they claim are pornographic or violent. And despite advances in Artificial Intelligence, current day tourist photos in the square are sometimes blocked by accident.
The crackdown is a relatively taboo subject in China, even three decades after the government sent the military to quiet student-led protests calling for democratic government reforms. Although Beijing has never released the death toll, estimates range from several hundred to several thousand.
June 4 will likely be a cat and mouse game - people use more obscure references on social media sites to allude to the protests, with the obvious ones blocked immediately. Some years, internet users haven't even been able to use the word "today".
And when China's most watched stock index fell 64.8 points on the anniversary in 2012, censors blocked access to the term "Shanghai Stock Market" and the index numbers themselves. This is all despite the fact that the drop was likely a coincidence.
Tools for censorship are becoming more refined, analysts, academics and users say. They claim that sensitive periods before anniversaries and political events have become a dragnet, catching a wide range of sensitive content.
For instance, leading up to this year's anniversary, censorship on social media has targeted LGBT groups, environmental activist activists and labor groups.
The Cyberspace Administration of China ("CAC") has been responsible for most upgrades to censorship technology. The group was set up by President Xi Jinping, whose tenure has been defined by increasingly strict control of the internet. Last November, the CAC introduced new rules aimed at stopping dissent online in China, where "falsifying the history of the Communist Party" is a punishable offense. The new rules require assessment reports and site visits for any internet platform that could be used to "socially mobilize" or lead to "major changes in public opinion".
One official that works for the CAC said that a recent boost in online censorship is very likely linked to the upcoming anniversary. They said: "There is constant communication with the companies during this time."
Companies that are responsible for their own censorship get little direction from the CAC but are still responsible for creating guidelines on their own. And with President Xi's continued grip on the internet, information continues to be centralized under the Communist Party's Propaganda Department and state media network. Censors and company staff say that this reduces some pressure to censor events, including major political news, natural disasters, and diplomatic visits.
One employee at Baidu said: "When it comes to news, the rule is simple… If it is not from state media first, it is not authorized, especially regarding the leaders and political items. We have a basic list of keywords which include the 1989 details, but (AI) can more easily select those."
The punishment for not censoring can be severe. Companies including a Netease Inc news app, Tencent Holdings Ltd's news app TianTian, and Sina Corp have all been hit with suspensions ranging from days to weeks as a result of failing to properly censor. For individual internet users and activists, it could mean jail time.

China's State-Run Media Unveils 'AI Anchors' to Read the News
China claims to have created the world's first non-human news anchor and debuted the new virtual host on state-run Xinhua news agency Wednesday.
The so-called "Artificial Intelligence Anchor" was developed by Xinhua in conjunction with Chinese search engine Sogou.com and is based on images of real, human news presenters, Xinhua reports.
The novel newsreader was introduced at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China in Artificial Intelligence's eerie foray into the television news industry.
"This is my very first day in Xinhua news agency," the AI anchor said in the inaugural broadcast, noting that "the development of the media industry calls for continuous innovation and deep integration with the international advanced technologies."

China's robot censors crank up as Tiananmen anniversary nears
BEIJING (Reuters) - It's the most sensitive day of the year for China's internet, the anniversary of the bloody June 4 crackdown on pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square, and with under two weeks to go, China's robot censors are working overtime.
Censors at Chinese internet companies say tools to detect and block content related to the 1989 crackdown have reached unprecedented levels of accuracy, aided by machine learning and voice and image recognition.
"We sometimes say that the Artificial Intelligence is a scalpel, and a human is a machete," said one content screening employee at Beijing Bytedance Co Ltd, who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to media.
Two employees at the firm said censorship of the Tiananmen crackdown, along with other highly sensitive issues including Taiwan and Tibet, is now largely automated.
Posts that allude to dates, images and names associated with the protests are automatically rejected.
"When I first began this kind of work four years ago there was opportunity to remove the images of Tiananmen, but now the Artificial Intelligence is very accurate," one of the people said.
Four censors, working across Bytedance, Weibo Corp and Baidu Inc apps said they censor between 5,000-10,000 pieces of information a day, or five to seven pieces a minute, most of which they said were pornographic or violent content.
Despite advances in AI censorship, current-day tourist snaps in the square are sometimes unintentionally blocked, one of the censors said.
Bytedance and Baidu declined to comment, while Weibo did not respond to request for comment.
SENSITIVE PERIOD
The Tiananmen crackdown is a taboo subject in China 30 years after the government sent tanks to quell student-led protests calling for democratic reforms. Beijing has never released a death toll but estimates from human rights groups and witnesses range from several hundred to several thousand.
June 4th itself is marked by a cat-and-mouse game as people use more and more obscure references on social media sites, with obvious allusions blocked immediately. In some years, even the word "today" has been scrubbed.
In 2012, China's most-watched stock index fell 64.89 points on the anniversary day here, echoing the date of the original event in what analysts said was likely a strange coincidence rather than a deliberate reference.
Still, censors blocked access to the term "Shanghai stock market" and to the index numbers themselves on microblogs, along with other obscure references to sensitive issues.
Don't have a problem here do we?-kek
While companies censorship tools are becoming more refined, analysts, academics and users say heavy-handed policies mean sensitive periods before anniversaries and political events have become catch-alls for a wide range of sensitive content.
In the lead-up to this year's Tiananmen Square anniversary, censorship on social media has targeted LGBT groups, labor and environment activists and NGOs, they say.

President Xi Invites World To Join China In Building New Internet
Along with the cookouts and beautiful Memorial Day Weekend weather, President Trump offered plenty of distractions for any Americans still tuned into their news feeds - from photos of his golf outing with Shinzo Abe to his presentation of the 'first-ever' US President's Cup
Meanwhile, in China, President Xi was busy exhorting the rest of the world (presumably excluding the US) to cooperate with Beijing in developing new Internet, big data and Artificial Intelligence resources in a letter to the China International Big Data Industry Expo, which kicked off Sunday in the southwestern city of Guiyang, according to state-run business newswire Xinhua.
Beijing has an obvious use-case for improved big-data resources: Optimizing its growing surveillance apparatus. And with the White House reportedly mulling Huawei-style bans on companies involved in building said apparatus, it's unsurprising that Beijing is already casting about for international support.
Chinese tech and Internet giants dominated the big data expo, which drew some 26,000 representatives from nearly 55 countries to marvel at China's emerging leadership in the big data industry. Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba and other Chinese firms were heavily represented.
China also used the opportunity to denounce Washington's blacklisting of Huawei.
The Huawei ban is a "rough" disruption to the market, Wang Zhijun, vice head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in an interview on state broadcaster China Central Television. He urged the U.S. government to stop "unreasonable suppression" of China's integrated circuit and electronic companies.
While Trump and Abe were on their golf outing, Global Times Editor-in-Chief Hu Xijin trolled Abe on Twitter.
Bottom line: As Washington steps up its aggressive trade rhetoric, Beijing is stepping up its efforts to recruit more geopolitical allies to free itself of its reliance on American tech - while reminding the world that it can create serious disruptions in the global supply chain with very little effort.

EU On AI Ethics: Must 'Enhance Positive Social Change'
EU Technocrats define ethics for AI: "Environmental and societal well-being - AI systems should be sustainable and "enhance positive social change." This is the coveted 'Science of Social Engineering' that harkens back to the original Technocracy movement in the 1930s. ? TN Editor
The European Union today published a set of guidelines on how companies and governments should develop ethical applications of Artificial Intelligence.
These rules aren't like Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics." They don't offer a snappy, moral framework that will help us control murderous robots. Instead, they address the murky and diffuse problems that will affect society as we integrate AI into sectors like health care, education, and consumer technology.
So, for example, if an AI system diagnoses you with cancer sometime in the future, the EU's guidelines would want to make sure that a number of things take place: that the software wasn't biased by your race or gender, that it didn't override the objections of a human doctor, and that it gave the patient the option to have their diagnosis explained to them.
So, yes, these guidelines are about stopping AI from running amuck, but on the level of admin and bureaucracy, not Asimov-style murder mysteries.

China's Revolutionary Goddess (2/2)
Ching Hai is a controversial character, but if you look carefully, you'll see that her overriding political concern has been the eradication of Communism. She has railed repeatedly against the Chinese and Vietnamese Communist parties, and held a benefit concert for US Vietnam veterans at the Daughters of the American Revolution Hall in Washington DC in 1997. She was a ferocious champion of the "boat people" in Hong Kong fleeing Communist persecution in Vietnam. The Vietnamese Communists absolutely loathe her and have banned her and her movement in her home country.
Despite the persecution, however, there are untold millions of followers inside China, and thousands of Chinese sneak out of the country in great secrecy to be initiated directly by Ching Hai in places like Thailand. I heard an inside account of one such event – three thousand initiates in hotels in the red-light district of Bangkok, meditating silently together for ten hours or more a day. You would *never* guess they were there, and these retreats are completely under the radar, they are not advertised at all. Most of the initiates were Chinese. The single biggest problem at these events is followers throwing themselves at Ching Hai's feet and making a big song and dance – you get red-carded and banned from ever attending another retreat if you do this, but they do it anyway, it's a Chinese thing. She openly says her life with Chinese disciples is a nightmare and strongly disrecommends ever becoming a guru.
Do you have any idea of the explosive potential of all these Chinese underground movements? Right now, they are being spied on by hundreds of thousands of cameras. If you are caught with a meditation cushion, literally, this is enough for a death sentence. Neighbours are ordered to report on anyone suspected of meditating.
The Chinese Communist Party is very nervous, and they have every right to be. If the economy doesn't pick up, the natives are going to become more than restless.
Ching Hai tries to stop it, but her adherents have no doubt that Quan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion herself, is back on earth. You cannot begin to imagine the devotion she inspires, unless you've been behind the scenes. For me, as a Christian of the Grail persuasion, Quan Yin fits the bill as the Comforter promised by Jesus. Her Sanskrit name Avolokitesvara literally means "she who hears the cries of the world". In the Aquarian Gospel (supposedly based on the Akashik record, which Rudolf Steiner calls the Fifth Gospel) the Comforter is female.
You will really struggle to find a single word about this persecution online. This is one of the very few sources that even mentions the banning of Quan Yin:
https://www.cecc.gov/sites/chinacommission.house.gov/files/documents/roundtables/2005/CECC%20Roundtable%20Testimony%20-%20Patricia%20Thornton%20-%205.23.05.pdf
So there is an explosion happening in China: a slow, silent explosion, happening in the shadows, where the cameras aren't. This revolution will not be televised. You anons are about to learn a lesson about maintaining an underground network under super-surveillance. The Middle Kingdom can be shaken to its core in the twinkling of an eye. And Donald Trump knows this, as he faces down China over trade. I honestly think he's playing America's hand quite brilliantly. If only I knew how 5G really figures in his game.
There's more, but Part 2 – the cosmic annihilation of Artificial Intelligence – will have to wait for another day. There's a screenshot for you for now.

Q Research General #8369: Gloves Off Edition
Exclusive - Parscale: President Trump Needs Your Help to Counter Big Tech Censorship Deniers
The White House is asking Americans to share their personal stories of censorship and bias on social media. Predictably, liberals don't seem interested in believing these victims. The appeal was announced on Wednesday and includes a tool to monitor Big Tech censorship. This is welcome news for conservatives and anyone concerned about the trend of censorship by the giant social media and search engine companies. It's proof positive that Donald Trump is very serious about stopping the suppression of conservative speech on social media, as he alluded to in a recent tweet, when he said, "Social Media & Fake News Media, together with their partner, the Democrat Party, have no idea the problems they are causing for themselves. VERY UNFAIR!"
The mainstream media response to the new White House initiative, however, expressed precious little concern over the notion that the tech oligopoly is abusing its power over ordinary Americans, instead trying to gaslight us by implying that social media censorship is all in our heads. I wasn't surprised. That's been the fake news's consistent stance throughout Big Tech's campaign to banish voices on the right from the modern public square and shift the terms of the debate in favor of their Democratic allies. Luckily, after years of ever-tightening censorship against conservatives and Trump supporters, that narrative is so transparently false that it's impossible to take seriously.
Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and other social media platforms have become the essential forum for political debate. The gradual disappearance of popular right-leaning personalities and accounts from these platforms over the past three years is hardly just some big coincidence. In the beginning, when their terms of service were still minimal, vague, and ill-defined, the social media giants used overblown accusations of "harassment" to justify banning conservatives while still clinging publicly to their founding ethos of free speech. One preliminary study by Dr. Richard Hanania showed that 21 out of 22 prominent people suspended by Twitter in recent years were Trump supporters. Now, the social media companies increasingly inject politics into their rules and decisions for monitoring their platforms, banning people not for any tangible violation, but for having "dangerous" ideas - or, as was the case for Michelle Malkin, censoring users for merely speaking in support of people who have "dangerous" ideas.
Big Tech has tried to pass off some of its rule changes as politically neutral, such as when they began mandating the far-left's new gender ideology, as well as banning those who dare refer to biological males as "he," including prominent conservative scholars - and even socialist feminists who choose to observe traditional binary genders. Other changes, they admit, are purely political, such as banning "white nationalism" at the behest of left-wing groups that openly apply that same label to the President and his supporters. We have mountains of direct evidence that Big Tech is seeking to swing political debate in this country leftward. We know from conscientious whistleblowers that Big Tech employees discuss censoring conservatives in the coarsest terms. Just this week, we learned that a Google subsidiary is working closely with the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center to create automated Artificial Intelligence tools to reduce "toxicity" in online comments.
Despite the best efforts of the left, the existence of Big Tech bias and censorship is beyond debate. Even honest Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard recognize that. Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey certainly does, admitting, "I don't think we can be this neutral, passive platform anymore."

DARPA: AI Mosaic Warfare And Multi-Domain Battle Strategy
Technocrats at DARPA are racing to apply Artificial Intelligence to engaged warfare, coordinating all battlefield components into a coordinated killing machine. Success depends on engineers and computer programmers. ? TN Editor
DARPA is automating air-to-air combat, enabling reaction times at machine speeds and freeing pilots to concentrate on the larger air battle and directing an air wing of drones.
Dogfighting will still be rare in the future but it is part of AI and automation taking over all high-end fighting. New human fighter pilots learn to dogfight because it represents a crucible where pilot performance and trust can be refined. To accelerate the transformation of pilots from aircraft operators to mission battle commanders - who can entrust dynamic air combat tasks to unmanned, semi-autonomous airborne assets from the cockpit - the AI must first prove it can handle the basics.
The vision is AI handles the split-second maneuvering during within-visual-range dogfights and pilots become orchestra conductors or higher level managers over large numbers of unmanned systems.

HP buys US supercomputer maker Cray Inc
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has bought Cray Inc, maker of some of the fastest supercomputers in the world.
Cray Inc's machines are capable of processing trillions of calculations per second and have been used by the UK's Met Office and GCHQ.
Shares in Cray jumped by 18% after announcing the $1.3bn (£1bn) deal.
HPE chief executive Antonio Neri said: "Answers to some of society's most pressing challenges are buried in massive amounts of data."
He added: "Only by processing and analyzing this data will we be able to unlock the answers to critical challenges across medicine, climate change, space and more."
The company predicts that the market for data services and storage from areas such as Artificial Intelligence is expected to grow from $28bn last year to $35bn by 2021.
Seymour Cray, who helped originate the company in the 1950s, is widely recognised as designing the first commercially successful supercomputer.
Cray computers feature a number of times in the world's top 500 supercomputers, and are used by the likes of the Met Office to improve its weather forecasting and climate modelling.
HPE is paying $35 per share for Cray, which is based in Seattle and employs 1,300 people.

Card firms turning to AI chatbots
Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now no longer a choice but a must for companies as it not only increases efficiency but also saves money.
This is especially so for card firms, which face declining profits.
Most card firms have AI chatbots for customer inquiries. These provide answers to questions on paying bills, expenditure and reports on missing cards. They also enable cards to be issued and recommend customized products.
Shinhan Card was the first to introduce an AI chatbot in February 2017.
"Because the chatbot operates 24 hours, it is better able to attend to customers needs, especially those who are overseas," a Shinhan Card official said.
"It also saves costs in comparison to employing call-center workers."
Call-center costs include training and wages. There also is a high turnover of workers.
Shinhan upgraded its chatbot "Fani" last October so it is able to grasp the meaning of questions that are asked casually. Previously, the chatbot provided answers based on certain keywords in the questions.

On the Origins of Memes by Means of Fringe Web Communities
Internet memes are increasingly used to sway and manipulate public opinion. This prompts the need to study their propagation, evolution, and influence across the Web. In this paper, we detect and measure the propagation of memes across multiple Web communities, using a processing pipeline based on perceptual hashing and clustering techniques, and a dataset of 160M images from 2.6B posts gathered from Twitter, Reddit, 4chan's Politically Incorrect board (/pol/), and Gab, over the course of 13 months. We group the images posted on fringe Web communities (/pol/, Gab, and The_Donald subreddit) into clusters, annotate them using meme metadata obtained from Know Your Meme, and also map images from mainstream communities (Twitter and Reddit) to the clusters.
Our analysis provides an assessment of the popularity and diversity of memes in the context of each community, showing, e.g., that racist memes are extremely common in fringe Web communities. We also find a substantial number of politics-related memes on both mainstream and fringe Web communities, supporting media reports that memes might be used to enhance or harm politicians. Finally, we use Hawkes processes to model the interplay between Web communities and quantify their reciprocal influence, finding that /pol/ substantially influences the meme ecosystem with the number of memes it produces, while \td has a higher success rate in pushing them to other communities.

San Francisco votes to ban city use of facial recognition technology
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - San Francisco officials on Tuesday voted 8 to 1 to ban the purchase and use of facial recognition technology by city personnel, in a move to regulate tools that local Silicon Valley companies helped develop.
The ordinance, which also would require city departments to submit surveillance technology policies for public vetting, can become final after a second vote next week by the same officials, the city's Board of Supervisors.
The action puts San Francisco at the forefront of increasing discontent in the United States over facial recognition, which government agencies have used for years and now has become more powerful with the rise of cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence technologies.
"We have a fundamental duty to safeguard the public from potential abuses," Aaron Peskin, the city supervisor who championed the ban, said before the board's vote.
Peskin said the ordinance was not an anti-technology policy. It allows continued use of surveillance tools like security cameras; the district attorney or sheriff can make an appeal to use certain restricted technology in exceptional circumstances as well.
Rather, Peskin said, the aim is to protect "marginalized groups" that could be harmed by the technology.
For instance, Amazon.com Inc has come under scrutiny since last year for selling an image analysis and ID service to law enforcement. Researchers have said this service struggles to identify the gender of individuals with darker skin, prompting fears of unjust arrests. Amazon has defended its work and said all users must follow the law.
Civil rights groups and companies including Microsoft Corp, which markets a facial recognition service, have called for regulation of the technology in recent months. This has added momentum to the effort in San Francisco and to a parallel ban reportedly in the works in nearby Oakland.
While communities at the heart of the technology industry are moving to limit facial recognition, police elsewhere have increased their use, primarily to spot potential suspects in known offender databases after a crime has occurred.
U.S. customs agents are vetting foreign travelers at airports with facial recognition, and other federal agencies use the technology too.
Daniel Castro, vice president of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, said concerns that the U.S. government would use face identification for mass surveillance, like China has, were overblown. The non-profit includes technology industry representatives on its board.
San Francisco's "ban on facial recognition will make it frozen in time with outdated technology," he said.

The patient suffers from abdominal pain, along with symptoms in atypical locations, which makes diagnosis tricky. An astute examination reveals the cause: an unusual form of appendicitis. However, credit doesn't to go to the radiologist. Instead, an imagery machine built with Artificial Intelligence technology, which can draw on knowledge of tens of millions of similar scans, recognizes the anomaly and makes the diagnosis.
That scenario is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pressed to reduce costs and boost productivity, medical equipment manufacturers and technology companies are increasingly investing in AI. Several such systems already exist, and growth could ramp up over the next few years, particularly in the field of diagnostic imagery.
"Based on our analysis of AI capabilities, as well as discussions with executives and industry experts, we're seeing a number of applications across the entire healthcare spectrum, from prevention to diagnosis to follow up," says Michael Jungling, head of Morgan Stanley Research's Medical Tech and Services team.

'Siri, Watch That Guy': Pentagon Seeks AI that Can Track Someone Across a City.
The intel community's researchers are looking for datasets to help train their computers.
The U.S. Intelligence community's research arm wants to train algorithms to track people across sprawling video surveillance networks, and it needs more data to do it.
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity is recruiting teams to build bigger, better datasets to train computer vision algorithms that would monitor people as they move through urban environments. The training data would improve the tech's ability to link together footage from a large network of security cameras, allowing it to better track and identify potential targets.
Computer vision is a type of Artificial Intelligence that allows computers to interpret images and videos. Many law enforcement and public safety organizations already use the tech to investigate crimes, monitor critical infrastructure and secure major events that could be targets for terrorists. An early version of the tech was used to identify the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, for instance, its popularity has only grown in the years since.
But according to IARPA, the data used to train algorithms today is fairly narrow, which limits the tech's ability to dissect the wide range of situations they'd see in the real world. With the new datasets, officials aim to improve the training process and enable computer vision systems to connect footage shot from cameras positioned across a broad geographic area.
"Further research in the area of computer vision within multi-camera video networks may support post-event crime scene reconstruction, protection of critical infrastructure and transportation facilities, military force protection, and in the operations of National Special Security Events," IARPA officials wrote in the solicitation.
Under the solicitation, selected vendors would compile roughly 960 hours of video footage covering numerous different environments and scenarios.
The dataset must include footage from at least 20 different security cameras with "varying positions, views, resolutions and frame rates" scattered across roughly 2.5 acres of "urban or semi-urban space." The videos would be shot all hours of the day and in different weather conditions, and include pedestrians, moving vehicles, street signs and other "distractors."
The footage must also include at least 200 test subjects behaving in different ways across the camera network. Ultimately, these are the people the algorithms would focus on to sharpen their identification and tracking skills.
Interested vendors must respond to the solicitation by May 17.

Facebook is accidentally generating terror content, claims whistle-blower
Social network's software has automatically been creating 'celebration' and 'memories' videos for pages linked to extremists
Facebook is unwittingly auto-generating content for terror-linked groups that its Artificial Intelligence systems do not recognise as extremist, according to a complaint made public on Thursday.
The National Whistle-blowers Centre in Washington carried out a five-month study of the pages of 3,000 members who liked or connected to organisations proscribed as terrorist by the US government.
Researchers found that Islamic State and al-Qaeda were "openly" active on the social network and Facebook's own software was automatically creating "celebration" and "memories" videos for extremist pages that had amassed enough views or "likes".
The Whistle-blower's Centre said it filed a complaint with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of a source that preferred to remain anonymous.
"Facebook's efforts to stamp out terror content have been weak and ineffectual," said an executive summary of the 48-page document shared by the centre. "Of even greater concern, Facebook itself has been creating and promoting terror content with its auto-generate technology."

The ex spy chief also warned against taking mobile phones to China over fears they could be hacked.
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Sir Richard - who worked at MI6 for 38 years - has slammed the Government's decision to allow Huawei to take part in the construction of Britain's new ultra-fast 5G internet network.
In extreme scenarios, he suggested, Huawei's involvement in building the network, which will allow consumers to download films on their phones in seconds and enable the development of sophisticated technologies like self-driving cars and Artificial Intelligence, could lead to security risks.
'[It could mean] you lose control of your robots as it were, maybe, to a foreign power,' he said. 'In a crisis, they might be able to disrupt our national security communications.'
It emerged last month that Theresa May was prepared to allow Huawei to supply non-core technology for 5G, which could include antennae and other network components. The news emerged through a highly controversial leak that led to the sacking of Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson.

Microsoft to Release Version of Word That Makes Your Grammar 'Politically Correct'==
New features will screen out 'offensive' language.
Microsoft is set to release a new version of Word that uses Artificial Intelligence to make your writing 'politically correct'.
You know how annoying it is when the iPhone corrects 'fucking' to 'ducking' every time you type out the word? Imagine that for an entire essay.
The new feature, called 'Ideas in Word', will recommend 'sensitive' phrases like "We need to get some fresh blood in here" be modified so that "fresh blood" becomes "new employees".
"It might underline places where your writing exhibited gender bias," reports Fast Company. "If you tend to say "mailman" or Congressman" in the generic, it might suggest you use "mailperson" or "Congressperson." If you use the term "gentlemen's agreement," it may suggest you use "unspoken agreement" instead."
The term "disabled person" would be replaced with "person with a disability while the new version's "inclusiveness check" searches for words or phrases that might be "offensive" to someone from another country or culture.
Mark Sullivan, who is a fan of the new features, says he is worried about "unknowingly or accidentally inserting terms or references in my writing that convey value judgements that I don't really mean" and wants to avoid "writing something that might offend".
Rumor has it that every new purchase of Word will come with a voucher for a yearly supply of soy lattes from Starbucks.

Rudolf Steiner: Anthroposophy 101 (2/3)
The atheist scientists are Ahrimanic through and through, as are the Silicon Valley elite. Channelers and New Agers are Luciferic. You need to differentiate clearly, there are overlaps and plenty of synergies. Lucifer and Ahriman work very cleverly together.
Now, *this* you really only find in Steiner: there was an actual physical incarnation of Lucifer in China, around four thousand years ago. There's no question that there was an explosion of knowledge of some kind in China, the first real world civilization.
However, in our epoch, there's going to be a consequence to this incarnation of Wisdom in the East. As a necessary counterbalance of history, Steiner said, in the second half of the 20th century, Ahriman would physically incarnate in the West, specifically in the USA. The true Prince of the Principality of All Material Reality, no less, will manifest on the world stage of this planet in the first third of the 21st century. Wise anthroposophists say that there is no real material preparation you can make for this advent. There is only spiritual armour.
Steiner predicted a planetary surveillance state, literally he said a silicon spider-web covering the whole planet (i.e., 5G or dark fibre) driven by Artificial Intelligence, which is the true bill signature of Ahriman: so, global AI with the most dread Antichrist in the Universe in charge, the ultimate god of the machine mind. This is Class 101: Terminator.

Australia is preparing to debut its version of the Chinese regime's high-tech system for monitoring and controlling its citizens. The launch, to take place in the northern city of Darwin, will include systems to monitor people's activity via their cell phones.
The new system is based on monitoring programs in Shenzhen, China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is testing its Social Credit System. Officials on the Darwin council traveled to Shenzhen, according to NT News, to "have a chance to see exactly how their Smart Technology works prior to being fully rolled out."
In Darwin, they've already constructed "poles, fitted with speakers, cameras and Wi-Fi," according to NT News, to monitor people, their movements around the city, the websites they visit, and what apps they use. The monitoring will be done mainly by Artificial Intelligence, but will alert authorities based on set triggers.
Just as in China, the surveillance system is being branded as a "smart city" program, and while Australian officials claim its operations are benign, they've announced it functions to monitor cell phone activity and "virtual fences" that will trigger alerts if people cross them….cont.

China's Big Brother Social Control Arrives In Australia
Australia is preparing to debut its version of the Chinese regime's high-tech system for monitoring and controlling its citizens. The launch, to take place in the northern city of Darwin, will include systems to monitor people's activity via their cell phones.
The new system is based on monitoring programs in Shenzhen, China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is testing its Social Credit System. Officials on the Darwin council traveled to Shenzhen, according to NT News, to "have a chance to see exactly how their Smart Technology works prior to being fully rolled out."
In Darwin, they've already constructed "poles, fitted with speakers, cameras and Wi-Fi," according to NT News, to monitor people, their movements around the city, the websites they visit, and what apps they use. The monitoring will be done mainly by Artificial Intelligence, but will alert authorities based on set triggers.
Just as in China, the surveillance system is being branded as a "smart city" program, and while Australian officials claim its operations are benign, they've announced it functions to monitor cell phone activity and "virtual fences" that will trigger alerts if people cross them.
"We'll be getting sent an alarm saying, 'There's a person in this area that you've put a virtual fence around.' ... Boom, an alert goes out to whatever authority, whether it's us or police to say 'look at camera five,'" said Josh Sattler, the Darwin council's general manager for innovation, growth, and development services, according to NT News.
The nature of the "virtual fences" and what type of activity will sound an alarm still isn't being made clear.
The system is being promoted as mostly benign. Sattler said it will tell the government "where people are using Wi-Fi, what they're using Wi-Fi for, are they watching YouTube, etc. All these bits of information we can share with businesses. ... We can let businesses know, 'Hey, 80 percent of people actually use Instagram within this area of the city, between these hours.'"
The CCP's smart city Social Credit System is able to monitor each person in the society, tracking every element of their lives-including their friends, online purchases, daily behavior, and other information-and assigns each person a citizen score that determines their level of freedom in society.
The tool is a core piece of the CCP's programs to monitor and persecute dissidents, including religious believers and people who oppose the ruling communist system.
Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao, a visiting scholar at New York University, described the Social Credit System as a new form of tyranny, meant to reactivate the CCP's totalitarian hold on society.
"In the past, there was the Nazi totalitarianism and Mao Zedong's totalitarian system, but a totalitarian system powered by the internet and contemporary technology has not existed before," Teng said in a recent interview with The Epoch Times.
"The CCP is now taking the first step to build such a high-tech totalitarian system, by using credit ratings and monitoring and recording every detail in people's daily life, which is very frightening."
The regime also isn't interested in keeping the technology within its own borders.
It's exporting the system, and its "China model" of totalitarian government, as a service of its "One Belt, One Road" program. When the CCP builds its infrastructure abroad, its surveillance and social control programs are part of the package.
In Darwin, there has been a push to jump aboard the CCP's program. The local officials made a "friendship" deal with Yuexiu District, in Guangzhou, China, in 2018. According to John Garrick, a senior lecturer at Charles Darwin University, the deal was branded by Chinese media as "part of President Xi Jinping's signature Belt and Road Initiative."
That followed a previous deal between Darwin and the CCP, in which the city signed a 99-year lease of the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company and the CCP. The Chinese owner, Ye Cheng, had referred to the deal as being part of One Belt, One Road.
The deals also should raise concern for U.S. Marines stationed in Darwin,under the Obama-era pivot to the Pacific, about whether the CCP is able to monitor data collected on cell phones from its systems in the area. Under a 2011 deal between the United States and Australia, the U.S. troops will be there until 2040.
And of similar concern, the decision of Australia to begin implementing the CCP's programs for totalitarian social control represents a major development in the CCP's China model push.

This is the real patriot shit …putting privacy back to the way it was.
"That's the reason we're trying to prevent that now," said Hofer, who has filed suit against the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, the San Jose Police Department and others after he said he was pulled over last year and handcuffed, with guns pointed at him when a license plate reader mistakenly identified the rental car he was driving as stolen. "The genie's not out of the bottle yet."
But the ACLU, which also helped draft the ordinances, pointed out that deploying facial recognition would be easy enough.
"The raw materials for face surveillance - data such as mugshots and video feeds from CCTV and body cams - already exist," said Matt Cagle, technology and civil liberties attorney with the ACLU of Northern California. "With just a few lines of code, existing photo systems can be turned into dangerous dragnet surveillance networks."
The proposed ordinances come after high-profile examples of the pitfalls of facial recognition, including a report last year that Amazon's Rekognition software falsely matched the faces of members of Congress with mugshots of people who had been arrested.
The San Francisco Police Department, which said it doesn't use facial recognition, submitted amendments to the ordinance after talking with other city departments, community groups, neighborhood watch groups and businesses.
"(Our) mission must be judiciously balanced with the need to protect civil rights and civil liberties, including privacy and free expression," said David Stevenson, spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department. "We welcome safeguards to protect those rights while balancing the needs that protect the residents, visitors and businesses of San Francisco."
Lee Hepner, legislative aide to Peskin, said the supervisor's office incorporated some of the SFPD's requests into the ordinance. If it is approved in committee Monday, the full board will vote May 14.
"Over time, this will build a lot of trust among the community and the police," he said. "Hopefully in the end it will be a win-win."
San Francisco Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nancy Crowley said her department does not use facial recognition. She added that most of the agency's work is in non-public spaces, but that if the ordinance is passed "we will comply with the requirements that impact our work."
The Oakland Police Department did not return a request for comment.
Color of Change, a national nonprofit racial justice advocacy group founded in Oakland, supports both ordinances.
"This is an important moment for San Francisco," said Brandi Collins-Dexter, senior campaign director for the group. She said the city "is positioned to really protect its constituents" and could influence others around the nation.
In a letter urging supervisors to pass the ordinance, Color of Change expressed concern about "high-tech profiling." The group cited a 2009 incident in which multiple San Francisco police officers pointed their guns at a black woman who was pulled over based on mistaken information from a license plate reader that the car she was driving was stolen. The woman, Denise Green, a former Muni driver, settled her lawsuit against San Francisco in 2015 for $495,000.
Nowadays, Collins-Dexter said, police have access to "technologies the likes of which we've never seen."
AI experts in April urged Amazon to stop selling facial recognition software to law enforcement until safeguards and laws are put into place. (Its technology is now being tested by police in Oregon.) Amazon shareholders are scheduled to vote later this month on a shareholder resolution urging Amazon to stop selling Rekognition.
The companies that make the technologies have also called for limits and regulations: Microsoft late last year called for regulating Artificial Intelligence, and Amazon followed suit earlier this year.
In addition, the Partnership on AI - whose members include Facebook, Google, Amazon.com, Apple, Microsoft, IBM and academic researchers - last week said law enforcement should not use Artificial Intelligence algorithms to make decisions about jailing people.
Meanwhile, some Bay Area law enforcement agencies have been using predictive-policing technology, including Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley. Others, such as Mountain View and Palo Alto's police departments, tried such technology but decided not to continue its use.

AI-created video looks jaw-droppingly real
What the video depicts is a collection of humans that an AI-generated algorithm - courtesy of DataGrid, a startup based at Japan's Kyoto University - designed. The poses, the clothes, the different hairstyles, stances, everything - the AI just came up with it all, in a stunning bit of understanding about the humans who occupy the world around it.
According to a translation of the text that accompanies the video, the researchers used what's called a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, to generate the high-resolution (1024×1024) images of nonexistent humans. It goes on to suggest that this kind of thing could be useful in a variety of ways, such as by creating virtual models for industries like advertising and fashion.
The GAN involves one Artificial neural network essentially trying to keep "fooling" another one, until the second one can no longer distinguish between (in this case) real human images versus computer-generated ones. Seeing this kind of thing for yourself, it's a reminder that we're definitely in for some strange times as deepfakes and the like begin to proliferate, with a video like this underscoring how adept AI is becoming at creating images of fake humans.

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday broke ground for Al-Qadir University here which he said will create future leaders to counter Islamophobia and protect ideology of Pakistan.
Addressing the ceremony, the prime minister said the university will teach the students the principles of State of Madina and Pakistan's ideology as envisioned by Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam. He said the concept of establishment of a university in Sohawa is to provide equal quality education to the youth across the country.
To be built at an area of 200 kanals, the institution will consist of a Sufi Academic Block with capacity of 800 students, Science Block for 700 students, hostel for 200 boys and girls, an auditorium and a library.
The prime minister said it is a private university that will be run on donations by philanthropists contributing in national cause to broaden the educational base. He said 35 percent of the students will be given scholarships and get free education while rest 65 percent will fund their studies by themselves.
He said besides teaching contemporary sciences like Artificial Intelligence and technology, the main focus of the university will be research on Sufism and its connection with Islam. "We have to groom our youth as leaders.We will create scholars who will respond to the anti-Islam tirade started after 9/11," he said, adding that Chinese assistance will also be sought for teaching and research on technology-related subjects.
The prime minister said the university has been named after Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani who happened to be a top Sufi and had also established link between Islam and spirituality. He said Sufism is a great science but contrary to western world, no university in Pakistan is holding research on the subject.
He said the previous leaders had buried the ideology of Pakistan which was meant to make the country an Islamic welfare state. He said the nations ignoring their ideology cannot exist. "Nations face ups and downs but they should not give up their ideology," he said, adding that Naya Pakistan will feature meritocracy, justice and education, minority rights on the pattern of State of Madina.
He said what had been happening in Pakistan was never in accordance of an Islamic welfare state. He recalled that besides India's role, the injustices to the people also contributed to the disintegration of the country…….

MOAR DEEPFAKE DROPS - THE HUMANS IN THIS AI-CREATED VIDEO LOOK JAW-DROPPINGLY "REAL"
For all the scary talk about what nefarious deeds AI will be capable of one day, a geeky fight that tends to spark debate about whether the technology is a net positive or could eventually bring about the destruction of humanity, there's at least one observable skill that AI is increasingly mastering right now - a skill that AI is starting to actually get so good at it may even shock you.
Play the video at the top of this post, and you'll see.
What the video above depicts is a collection of humans that an AI-generated algorithm - courtesy of DataGrid, a startup based at Japan's Kyoto University - designed. The poses, the clothes, the different hairstyles, stances, everything - the AI just came up with it all, in a stunning bit of understanding about the humans who occupy the world around it.
According to a translation of the text that accompanies the video, the researchers used what's called a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, to generate the high-resolution (1024×1024) images of nonexistent humans. It goes on to suggest that this kind of thing could be useful in a variety of ways, such as by creating virtual models for industries like advertising and fashion.
The GAN involves one Artificial neural network essentially trying to keep "fooling" another one, until the second one can no longer distinguish between (in this case) real human images versus computer-generated ones. Seeing this kind of thing for yourself, it's a reminder that we're definitely in for some strange times as deepfakes and the like begin to proliferate, with a video like this underscoring how adept AI is becoming at creating images of fake humans.
To see a different version of this same thing in action, check out the website ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com, which we've reported on previously. It's the same concept as the video above, except in the case of that website, you just keep hitting refresh and you'll be greeted by the image of an insanely real looking human that was in fact created by an AI and doesn't exist.
This technology is impressive, but at the same time it also seems to herald something that humanity still has not fully come to grips with yet. It's only a matter of time before AI masters the creation of fake human speech and other things that, along with the images, can be integrated into a full package and really give us a hard time with separating fact from fiction. Maybe someone will develop an AI one day that masters the art of fighting disinfo and ferreting out fake news. We can only hope.

Australia is preparing to debut its version of the Chinese regime's high-tech system for monitoring and controlling its citizens. The launch, to take place in the northern city of Darwin, will include systems to monitor people's activity via their cell phones.
The new system is based on monitoring programs in Shenzhen, China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is testing its Social Credit System.

Facebook 'labels' posts by hand, posing privacy questions
HYDERABAD, India/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Over the past year, a team of as many as 260 contract workers in Hyderabad, India has ploughed through millions of Facebook Inc photos, status updates and other content posted since 2014.
The workers categorize items according to five "dimensions," as Facebook calls them.
These include the subject of the post - is it food, for example, or a selfie or an animal? What is the occasion - an everyday activity or major life event? And what is the author's intention - to plan an event, to inspire, to make a joke?
The work is aimed at understanding how the types of things users post on its services are changing, Facebook said. That can help the company develop new features, potentially increasing usage and ad revenue.
Details of the effort were provided by multiple employees at outsourcing firm Wipro Ltd over several months. The workers spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation by the Indian firm. Facebook later confirmed many details of the project. Wipro declined to comment and referred all questions to Facebook.
The Wipro work is among about 200 content labeling projects that Facebook has at any time, employing thousands of people globally, company officials told Reuters. Many projects are aimed at "training" the software that determines what appears in users' news feeds and powers the Artificial Intelligence underlying many other features.
The labeling efforts have not previously been reported.
"It's a core part of what you need," said Nipun Mathur, the director of product management for AI at Facebook. "I don't see the need going away."
The content labeling program could raise new privacy issues for Facebook, according to legal experts consulted by Reuters. The company is facing regulatory investigations worldwide over an unrelated set of alleged privacy abuses involving the sharing of user data with business partners.
The Wipro workers said they gain a window into lives as they view a vacation photo or a post memorializing a deceased family member. Facebook acknowledged that some posts, including screenshots and those with comments, may include user names.
The company said its legal and privacy teams must sign off on all labeling efforts, adding that it recently introduced an auditing system "to ensure that privacy expectations are being followed and parameters in place are working as expected."
But one former Facebook privacy manager, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed unease about users' posts being scrutinized without their explicit permission. The European Union's year-old General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has strict rules about how companies gather and use personal data and in many cases requires specific consent.
"One of the key pieces of GDPR is purpose limitation," said John Kennedy, a partner at law firm Wiggin and Dana who has worked on outsourcing, privacy and AI.
If the purpose is looking at posts to improve the precision of services, that should be stated explicitly, Kennedy said. Using an outside vendor for the work could also require consent, he said.
It remains unclear exactly how GDPR will be interpreted and whether regulators and consumers would see Facebook's internal labeling practices as problematic. Europe's top data privacy official declined to comment on possible concerns.
A Facebook spokeswoman said: "We make it clear in our data policy that we use the information people provide to Facebook to improve their experience and that we might work with service providers to help in this process."

An investigation into the possession and distribution of child pornography covering eight southeastern U.S. states culminated in the arrest of 82 people and the rescue of 17 child victims, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). The four-month-long investigation, dubbed "Operation Southern Impact III," resulted in three days of investigative actions including "search warrant executions, undercover operations, arrests, and sex offender compliance verification visits." In total, 171 law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies were involved. The ages of those arrested range from 20 to 70, the GBI said May 3. Occupations of arrestees included a "non-profit employee, small business owner, store clerk, mechanic, daycare administrator, youth group leader, former high school band director, freelance photographer, construction worker, and painter."
As part of the operation, 861 digital devices were previewed and 1,613 digital devices were seized. Included among those devices were 203 mobile phones. The investigation stemmed from cyber tips received from the ICAC Task Force of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In Georgia alone, 31 people were arrested, mostly for the possession or distribution of child pornography. Investigators said they targeted those distributing "the most violent sexual abuse material involving infants and toddlers" which the bureau itself noted, "is not uncommon." "The Georgia ICAC Task Force consistently finds this type of content," the release stated.
Of those arrested in Georgia, seven traveled for the goal of meeting and having sex with a minor. Investigators say predators often visit chat rooms and sites on the internet to arrange such meetings. The arrested perpetrators targeted both boys and girls. Four of those arrested in Georgia were registered sex offenders. One offender previously had been arrested during a similar operation in 2015. "The dedicated law enforcement professionals that are part of the Georgia ICAC Task Force will not cease searching for those who are producing, trading and collecting this graphic material," Debbie Garner, special agent in charge of the GBI's Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit said. "We will continue to work together to find, investigate and prosecute these predators." Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr also praised the efforts of those behind the operation.

In April 2018, President Donald Trump signed into law a bill dubbed the "Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017." The act makes it easier to take legal action against individuals who use websites to facilitate sex trafficking, while also aiding victims to fight back against websites that profit from their exploitation. In the same month, sex-trafficking website Backpage.com-the largest human-trafficking portal in the United States-was taken down by the FBI. Trump has made combating human trafficking a focal point of his administration. A report shared with The Epoch Times last month found the demand for online sex-trafficking dropped following the shutdown of Backpage, as the operators of smaller sites struggled to stay afloat. The report by Childsafe.ai-the world's first Artificial Intelligence platform for monitoring, graphing, and modeling child-exploitation risk on the web-detailed how the industry has since been fragmented across dozens of websites, all competing fiercely for market share. Web traffic to advertising websites selling sex drew only 5 to 8 percent of the total unique visitors that Backpage drew at its height in 2016.

"Don't be evil" Google engages in "systematic" retaliation against anyone who dares criticize the company
Time and again, tech giant Google is proving that it is less a company than an all-powerful entity managed by psychopaths, narcissists, and lunatics bent on global domination.
At a gathering last week, hundreds of Google staff members met to discuss something they claim is happening more frequently than ever: Company retaliation for criticism.
As Bloomberg reported Friday:
Two leaders of recent company protests said they've been mistreated by managers and collected similar stories from other workers at the world's largest internet company. The claims of retaliation are the latest in a series of internal upheavals over issues ranging from the use of Artificial Intelligence for military purposes to executive misconduct and the rights of contract workers.
Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., once set an industry standard in Silicon Valley for being able to employ and then keep highly-skilled computer scientists. But in recent years, the company has suffered blemishes to its reputation - since it's become a Left-wing censorship machine aimed at muting conservative staffers and voices online, and has adopted an increasingly dictatorial management style.
In internal surveys, for example, employees say they are losing faith in Google's senior leadership, as scores of coders refused to work on a Pentagon project last year (think Trump hate) and some resigned in protest, Bloomberg reported.
Then, last November, a number of Google staffers staged a walkout because of payouts given to executives who faced allegations of sexual assault.

Pentagon warns on risk of Chinese submarines in Arctic
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Deepening Chinese activities in the Arctic region could pave the way for a strengthened military presence, including the deployment of submarines to act as deterrents against nuclear attack, the Pentagon said in a report released on Thursday.
The assessment is included in the U.S. military's annual report to Congress on China's armed forces and follows Beijing's publication of its first official Arctic policy white paper in June.
In that paper, China outlined plans to develop shipping lanes opened up by global warming to form a "Polar Silk Road" - building on President Xi Jinping's signature Belt and Road Initiative.
China, despite being a non-Arctic state, is increasingly active in the polar region and became an observer member of the Arctic Council in 2013. That has prompted concerns from Arctic states over Beijing's long-term strategic objectives, including possible military deployments.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will attend the meeting of the eight-nation Arctic Council in Rovaniemi, Finland, starting on Monday, which comes amid concerns over China's increased commercial interests in the Arctic.
SECOND SOURCE INFO
China is becoming a rising power not only in consumer technology and Artificial Intelligence but also in Arctic military operations and nuclear submarine construction, according to a new report from the Pentagon.
"Arctic border countries have raised concerns about China's expanding capabilities and interest in the region," notes the report, "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China 2019," published today. Often called the "China Military Power" report, it's required annually by Congress. This year, it highlights the country's prowess in the Arctic. In 2018, China completed its ninth Arctic expedition last year, published its first Arctic strategy document, and launched its second icebreaker, the Xuelong 2. The ship, capable of breaking 1.5 meters of ice, is the first polar research vessel that "can break ice while moving forwards or backwards," according to the report.
The warming Arctic might also cool, or at least complicate, Beijing's budding friendship with Moscow.

Microsoft rolls out new cloud services for AI and blockchain
(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp on Thursday announced new tools for software makers aimed at making technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and blockchain easier for businesses to use.
Microsoft released the tools ahead of its software developer conference next week in Seattle. Once known mostly for its Windows personal computer operating system, the company now relies on revenue growth from its cloud-based computing and software services, most of which are sold to other businesses.
While Microsoft still trails the cloud computing leader Amazon.com Inc's Amazon Web Services in revenue, it has taken a different approach to the market, designing many of its services to be run in either Microsoft's Azure data centers, its customers private data centers, or a combination of the two.
Amazon, by contrast, at first asked customers move their data to its own servers, though it too has in recent years moved toward Microsoft's "hybrid" approach.
One new service from Microsoft helps online retailers recommend products based on shopping history and can be combined with a retailer's existing recommendation engine, said Scott Guthrie, Microsoft's cloud and Artificial Intelligence chief.
"They're using ours in addition to the existing system they had and seeing some tremendous wins in terms of productivity as part of it," Guthrie said. "I don't think it's going to be necessarily always a winner takes all."
Microsoft is also releasing tools to let users make Artificial Intelligence models without having to write the underlying code. Those models can then be "trained" using the business owner's data in Microsoft's cloud.
The company is also introducing a cloud-based blockchain service. The block chain, a ledger for keeping track of transactions among many participants, is used in the financial technology space, and Microsoft said it is working with JP Morgan Chase & Co on the bank's Quorum offering.
But Microsoft's Guthrie said blockchain has other uses, such as the system Microsoft helped Starbucks Corp build to track the coffee as it moves from farms to stores to a customer's cup.
"That enables them, from a quality control perspective, to dramatically improve the end-to-end supply chain and deliver a better product," Guthrie said.
Microsoft also said it is releasing a developer edition of its HoloLens 2 headset that was announced earlier this year. The device, which overlays digital information on the real world, will cost $3,500 and is aimed businesses uses like safety training and complex repair work.

"I agree with candidate Andrew Yang that robots and Artificial Intelligence will put nearly everyone out of work except females with Instagram followers from Dubai. I will implement a Male Basic Income (MBI) plan where a bag of $2,000 is given every month to all citizens over 18 years of age who were born with a penis. Males can use their bags to enjoy the last decades of Western civilization and also to prep for inevitable societal collapse.
Women will not get this bag because they are already "strong and independent" and don't need further state assistance. They are correct that men have "fragile masculinity," so we're taking the entire bag. If women want Roosh Bucks, they have to submit to a man and allow him to spend his bag on her. Otherwise, they can work in an office with moldy air conditioning for the rest of their lives. Roosh Bucks helps give men a solid edge in household income, allowing them to be patriarchs once again. No woman comes to Roosh Bucks except through men.
Sodomites will not receive Roosh Bucks, though they are eligible to receive free diseases from their anal-obsessed lifestyle. Facial recognition software will identify all sodomites through recordings of gay pride marches and other classified sources. Heterosexuality will be financially enforced by the state.
Where I differ with Andrew Yang is how the bag will be funded. He wants to implement a VAT tax, but I find this unacceptable. Below are three methods that will fund Roosh Bucks. I have confirmed that they will provide sufficient funding by using my smartphone's calculator app."

Facial recognition technology works even when only half a face is visible, researchers from the University of Bradford have found.
Using Artificial Intelligence techniques, the team achieved 100 per cent recognition rates for both three-quarter and half faces. The study, published in Future Generation Computer Systems, is the first to use machine learning to test the recognition rates for different parts of the face.
Lead researcher, Professor Hassan Ugail from the University of Bradford said: "The ability humans have to recognise faces is amazing, but research has shown it starts to falter when we can only see parts of a face. Computers can already perform better than humans in recognising one face from a large number, so we wanted to see if they would be better at partial facial recognition as well."
The team used a machine learning technique known as a 'convolutional neural network', drawing on a feature extraction model called VGG – one of the most popular and widely used for facial recognition.
They worked with a dataset containing multiple photos – 2800 in total – of 200 students and staff from FEI University in Brazil, with equal numbers of men and women.
For the first experiment, the team trained the model using only full facial images They then ran an experiment to see how well the computer was able to recognise faces, even when shown only part of them. The computer recognised full faces 100 per cent of the time, but the team also had 100% success with three-quarter faces and with the top or right half of the face. However, the bottom half of the face was only correctly recognised 60 per cent of the time and eyes and nose on their own, just 40 per cent.
They then ran the experiment again, after training the model using partial facial images as well. This time, the scores significantly improved for the bottom half of the face, for eyes and nose on their own and even for faces with no eyes and nose visible, achieving around 90% correct identification.
Individual facial parts, such as the nose, cheek, forehead or mouth had low recognition rates in both experiments.
The results are promising, according to Professor Hassan:
"We've now shown that it's possible to have very accurate facial recognition from images that only show part of a face and we've identified which parts are most useful. This opens up greater possibilities for the use of the technology for security or crime prevention.

Regionalism: Smart Region Initiatives Overrule City Councils
Utility companies are wedging their way into regional governance to facilitate the installation and implementation of smart city technology throughout a region. Note the article states "co-lead", which means they are not the main driver of regionalization. ? TN Editor
Thanks to their scale and infrastructure, electric utilities can play a central role in creating smart regions, and reap the benefits.
The emergence of next-generation technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, and data science, are poised to transform today's cities into advanced smart cities. Electric utility companies, with their critical infrastructure and essential services, are well positioned to co-lead this transformation.
While smart cities represent a major business opportunity for utility companies, "smart regions" are a more significant opportunity.
Smart cities employ advanced digital technologies and data science to solve problems and create new outcomes for its residents, businesses and visitors. However, some challenges are too complex and beyond the scope and capability of any one city and county to solve. These include traffic and mobility, air quality management, and resilience to natural and manmade hazards. A regional approach, combined with innovative digital technologies and data science, will create large-scale impacts that were not possible before.
Utilities are ideal smart region builders. They operate in and service large geographic regions that span multiple counties and hundreds of cities. They have deep customer knowledge and established relationships with every city and county in the region. They have infrastructure, personnel and facilities throughout the region. More importantly, some of that existing infrastructure, such as distribution poles, streetlights and AMI networks, are ideal platforms to build new smart services quickly and economically.
While cities and counties think in terms of their own needs, utility companies already bring a more regional focus and execution capability. Their organizations, operational processes, policies and systems are built to support the diverse needs of the smallest cities to the largest metropolitan areas

Former Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt says Silicon Valley will form 'AI principles' for working with the government
As Google employees fret about becoming engaged in "the business of war," Alphabet board member Eric Schmidt thinks the tech industry will likely form a shared set of "AI-principles" to guide how Silicon Valley works with the Department of Defense.
Schmidt, chairman of the Department of Defense's Innovation Board, spoke before a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. He was responding to a question about how to overcome hesitance from the private sector about working with the department on Artificial Intelligence projects.
Since Google revealed in March that it had partnered with the DOD to develop AI to analyze and interpret drone videos, more than 3,000 employees signed a letter urging Google CEO Sundar Pichai to pull out of the initiative, called "Project Maven." Although Google publicly said that the project was scoped for "non-offensive purposes," employees worried that once the technology was built, the military could use it to help launch weapons.

Sex robot brothel opens in Japan
A sex robot brothel has opened in Japan and is set to introduce male sex dolls following a surge in men wanting bisexualthreesomes.
Boss Sergi Prieto wanted to offer customers a chance to carry out their "wildest fantasies" and launched the LumiDolls venue in the city of Nagoya.
It follows previous openings at spots including Russia, Spain, and Italy.
The new location boasts on the website "live the futuristic sex with the hottest Asian Lumidolls".
It offers a three hour session for ¥36000 (£250) and a one hour session for ¥13000 (£90).
The website adds: "For the first time, Lumidolls is in Nagoya! Lumidolls bring the worlds first hyper-realistic sex doll brothel.
"Futuristic sex can be experimented right now. Live the most fantastic date with your favorite anime character.
"Make your erotic dreams come true and spend an unforgettable eve with one or more Lumidolls. You will be charmed."
Punters can chose what the dolls will be wearing during the romp. Options include basic lingerie, schoolgirl outfit, fitness gear or 'executive woman'.
They also accept 'special requests' and so far have four dolls on offer, including Erika who boasts an E-cup breast size.
Speaking of the decision to introduce male sex dolls, boss Prieto told Daily Star Online: "We have recently attended to several clients who request an appointment with male dolls and female dolls at the same time.
"Probably bisexual, or heterosexual, who want to experience anal sex without interacting directly with a man of flesh and blood."
Speaking of the Japan venue, he added: "The service will be developed in an hotel where customers will be able to choose between 4 different models, initially.
"At the moment the influx of customers is similar to the initial, depending on the time of year.
"We believe that influx will increase when the technological improvements will be remarkable and we can offer these new models to our clients."
Pictures from inside the venue give a glimpse into where customers will get intimate with the dolls. The snaps show rooms with red lights and leather beds complete with a sofa and TV.
Prieto continued: "For the moment in LumiDolls, we continue to use sex dolls without additional functionalities.
"In the market there are some advances as well as sex dolls with facial movements and Artificial Intelligence.
"But at the moment we do not contemplate introducing them into our brothels due to their high price and their low realism, and these functionalities need more improvements.
"Still more time is needed for prices to begin to fall and be much more accessible.
"I think that technological advances in this sector have to be looked at in the medium-long term since they require very advanced technology and mechanics.
"In 2019 we do not believe that new functionalities will appear but that those that already exist will be improved - Artificial Intelligence, facial movements etc."

The benefits of having a fuck-off fund
The idea that it's sometimes necessary to quit your job on ethical grounds is well-established in contemporary culture. In 2015, Greg Smith walked away from an executive-director-level role at Goldman Sachs. "To put the problem in the simplest terms, the interests of the client continue to be sidelined in the way the firm operates and thinks about making money," he wrote in a New York Times op-ed announcing his resignation. In 2018, Gizmodo reported that roughly a dozen Google employees were leaving the company over objections to its Artificial-Intelligence contract with the Pentagon. And earlier this year, actress Emma Thompson resigned from the Skydance Media's forthcoming film Luck after the studio hired John Lasseter, a Pixar co-founder who had been accused of decades of sexual misconduct.
But the ability to quit your job on principle is, in itself, a privilege. In a country like the US, where 78% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, most people can't afford to walk away from gainful employment, no matter what their ethical compunctions. That's where the appeal of building up a fuck-off fund comes in.
Building up a pile of savings, as Paulette Perhach explains in the viral essay that first coined the term, means that you can afford to walk away from any number of bad situations-a toxic relationship, a nightmare roommate, an abusive boss.
This week, a wave of resignations from a new digital-media outlet called The Markup served as a reminder of yet another reason that fuck-off funds come in handy. Not only do they give you the means to stand up for yourself financially, they enable you to stand up for your principles, too.
At least five of The Markup's seven staff writers resigned from the company in protest of the surprise ouster of its co-founder and editor-in-chief, Julia Angwin. While there are conflicting versions of the circumstances surrounding Angwin's departure, it was immediately clear that much of the site's editorial staff was unwilling to work at The Markup without her.
At issue was the workers' loyalty to Angwin herself as well as concerns that her departure revealed a troubling glimpse into The Markup's future direction and ideals. Data journalist Surya Mattu tweeted of his decision to quit, "I am so proud of the work we all have done and heartbroken that I wont see it to completion. But @JuliaAngwin is the reason I call myself a data journalist and I cant get myself to work for the organization that doesn't see her value." Other reporters similarly expressed their faith in Angwin; "@JuliaAngwin is the reason I joined, and her ouster is the reason I am leaving," said Lauren Kirchner.
Another journalist who recently took a stand by leaving a job is Maya Kosoff, who in January quit as a writer for the reboot of the website Gawker after working there for just 20 days. Kosoff and a colleague, Anna Breslaw, waived a severance package that came with a non-disparagement agreement so they could speak publicly about their reasons for quitting. Those reasons centered on offensive comments allegedly made by their boss-"about everything from poor people to black writers to her acquaintance's penis size," as Maxwell Tani writes in The Daily Beast-and human resources' failure to address their concerns.
Kosoff says she didn't have much of a fuck-off fund when she quit-but she certainly wishes she had. "Obviously I had financial concerns about leaving," she says. "I had a little bit of savings, but it wasn't going to sustain me for very long."
Even so, her ethical concerns won out. And she realized that in the long run, staying at a job where she had deep concerns about management practices could hurt her career-and her financial stability-even more than leaving would. "The longer I stayed there, the less I could justify working there, and the harder it might be to get a job down the line if the work I was doing there wasn't work I wasn't particularly proud of," she says.
Kosoff acknowledges that there are plenty of people who wouldn't be able to make a similar choice. "I wouldn't blame anybody for not doing it," she says. "I recognize the immense privilege that it takes to walk away."

https://breakingdefense.com/2019/04/simulating-a-super-brain-Artificial-Intelligence-in-wargames/?
ARMY WAR COLLEGE: Theater commanders around the world want weapons they can see and use right now, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs told the Army War College. It's a lot harder, Gen. Joseph Dunford said, to sell experienced senior officers on an untested and intangible capability like Artificial Intelligence.
The immediate objective: come up with ways to mimic the effects of an AI so the school's in-house game designers could turn it into either a computer simulation or a table-top exercise within 10 months - without new money. The hope is that the 2020 game, in turn, will intrigue Army leadership enough that they'll support a larger, longer-term AI effort.
The most famous case is the Naval War College in the 1920s and 1930s, which ran more than 100 games exploring a possible war with Japan, often with officers moving miniature ships around a tiled floor used as a giant gameboard. Admiral Nimitz famously said that these games explored so many different technologies and strategies that "nothing that happened during the [actual] war was a surprise... except the kamikaze tactics."
If you can actually write or modify a computer wargame, instead of doing a pure tabletop exercise, your options get more sophisticated and fiendish. You can put each player at a different screen and manipulate how much information they get, how quickly, and how accurate it is. You can cut off in-game messaging between players to simulate radio jamming, or send false messages to simulate their network getting hacked. You can use crowdsourcing to simulate an AI's ability to generate a wider range of strategies. The non-AI players can only brainstorm among themselves, but the team simulating the AI can post the game board on the Internet and get hundreds of suggestions for its next move.

Q Research General #8081: IT WILL ALL COME OUT Edition
Twitter recruits users in battle against election manipulation
Twitter is adding a feature that will help users identify misleading election content as the 2020 presidential campaign heats up in the U.S. The tool will let Twitter users flag tweets containing inaccurate information about how to vote or register to vote, voting requirements, and the dates or times of elections, the San Francisco-based company said Wednesday. "Voting is a fundamental human right, and the public conversation occurring on Twitter is never more important than during elections," the company said. "Any attempts to undermine the process of registering to vote or engaging in the electoral process is contrary to our company's core values."
Twitter was among the social media platforms, along with Facebook and YouTube, used by Russian actors to spread divisive and erroneous messages to influence the 2016 presidential election. Since the Intelligence community revealed the extent of Russia's interference and the role social media companies played, they have been under pressure to enact safeguards. Facebook responded by displaying the identity and location of advertisers last year, a move intended to help users discern partisan or ulterior motives and assess credibility, and has focused on implementing Artificial Intelligence capabilities that take down fake accounts.
The new reporting tool from Twitter became available in India on Thursday in time for the general election there, which runs through May 19, and will be operational in the European Union on Monday, before its parliamentary elections in May. Twitter plans to roll the tool out globally through the remainder of the year.
In addition to criticism about Kremlin manipulation, social media companies have come under fire for their efforts to remove hate speech and misinformation. President Trump and conservatives have accused the firms, many based in Democratic-leaning Silicon Valley, of using content management as an excuse for censoring conservative voices. Trump, who is particularly active on Twitter with nearly 60 million followers, met with its CEO Jack Dorsey on Tuesday, before which he accused the company of treating him poorly "as a Republican" and playing "political games." During the meeting, the president said he and Dorsey discussed "lots of subjects" regarding Twitter and "the world of social media in general."

The theme of this year's World Intellectual Property Day is intellectual property in sports. Intellectual property is critical to advancing the ability of our athletes to compete and increasing the enjoyment of sports for fans. We celebrate the innovations of those working behind the scenes to create new sports equipment, enhance safety, improve branding, and broadcast sporting events. From new materials that preserve athlete health and promote performance to game-changing technological advances in robotics and Artificial Intelligence, intellectual property underpins the sports industry.
Today, we recognize that the success of nearly every industry, from entertainment and sports to agriculture and technology, depends on a framework that protects intellectual property. A brighter and more hopeful future is dawning because of the increased attention nations are paying to innovation, creativity, and intellectual property. As the human mind continues to transcend limitations, we will work to empower the creative spirit of today's innovators by protecting their hard work.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 26, 2019, as World Intellectual Property Day. I encourage Americans to observe this day with events and educational programs that celebrate the benefits of intellectual property to our economy and our country.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-fifth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.
DONALD J. TRUMP

Navy Warfare Centers Harnessing Data to Expand the Advantage and Dominate the Threat.
By Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona Public Affairs
NORCO, Calif. - In data science, one of the biggest hurdles to achieving a goal is identifying and sharing pertinent data.
In 2017, Hovanes Keseyan was only the second NSWC Corona employee to earn his specialized master's degree in data science from the University of California, Riverside. Soon after, he attended a Naval Application of Machine Learning workshop and discovered others from the Navy and academia who wanted to implement new technologies he'd learned about. Many questions arose about the data that fuels them: Where does the data reside? Who owns it? How can we access it? Do we have enough?
The search for answers quickly developed into a research and development project under Keseyan's tutelage: Universal Hub for Big Data, a mega project to catalog, combine and share Navy research, development, test and evaluation data across the enterprise in a manner scalable across the Defense Department and other data repositories. The data hub idea caught the attention of NSWC Corona Chief Technology Officer Taylor Cole, who shepherded it through the Navy Innovative Science and Engineering funding application process. The project has rapidly gained traction across the Navy, particularly as Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Bill Moran has emphasized the need to harness data and data analytics to not only enhance the decisions made for the warfighter, but to gain a digital edge over competitors.
With funding from multiple Navy programs, Keseyan and his working group have catalogued data from 13 warfare centers across four systems commands so far: Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command. In June, Keseyan's group aims to have a test version of the web interface, and potential users can apply to become testers and gain access. The group will seek additional data sets - 15 per command - to reach close to 200 data sets by the end of the fiscal year. The next step is integrating that data.
"There's still a lot of work to be done," he continued. "Here at NSWC Corona, we want to make sure this work is done properly so everyone can start playing in the new data science capability.
"Others are interested in bringing in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence into their processes," Keseyan said, "and they also want to marry that with augmented reality, virtual reality and Live Virtual Constructive environments. So there's this intersection of these new technology fields and we're laying the foundation to have these conversations. We want to remove those barriers and let the scientists do what they're excited to do."
NSWC Corona's commanding officer said he wants to champion the project because of its critical importance to advance the Navy and NAVSEA strategic goals.
"Universal Hub is a great example of how the warfare centers are leveraging a talented and empowered workforce to utilize high velocity learning to accelerate warfighting decisions across the Navy," said Capt. Rick Braunbeck. "This project will help the Navy make every dollar count to drive lethality and improve readiness across the fleet."
NSWC Corona, a field activity of Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command, is headquartered in Norco, Calif., and has a workforce of more than 3,300 scientists, engineers, contractors and support staff and annual business of more than $450 million each year. The command leads the Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation process responsible for gauging the warfighting capability of Navy ships and aircraft for performance, readiness, quality, and supportability throughout the entire life cycle.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: Big Tech Needs to Be Regulated
Apple CEO Tim Cook argued this week that the big tech Masters of the Universe need to be regulated by the government to protect user privacy. In an interview this week at the TIME 100 Summit in New York, Apple CEO Tim Cook called for more regulation on the technology industry. "We all have to be intellectually honest, and we have to admit that what we're doing isn't working," Cook said during the event. "Technology needs to be regulated. There are now too many examples where the no rails have resulted in a great damage to society."
Cook spoke in depth about some of the negative impacts of technology on society. He claimed that is not Apple's goal is to ensure that their users are using their Apple devices as much as possible. "Apple never wanted to maximize user time," Cook argued. "We've never been about that. We're not motivated to do that from a business point of view, and we're certainly not motivated from a values point of view." Speaking directly about the impact that smartphones have had on users' social lives, Cook said that too much time on a smartphone is a bad thing. "If you're looking at a phone more than someone's eyes, you're doing the wrong thing," Cook added.
Breitbart News reported in 2017 that Cook had been criticized over his refusal to condemn China for their censorship of the Internet. "Cook's appearance lends credibility to a state that aggressively censors the internet, throws people in jail for being critical about social ills, and is building Artificial Intelligence systems that monitors everyone and targets dissent," an analyst from Human Rights Watch wrote at the time. "The version of cyberspace the Chinese government is building is a decidedly dystopian one, and I don't think anyone would want to share in this 'common future.' Apple should have spoken out against it, not endorsed it."

Facebook says head-cam Christchurch video foiled its AI system
Facebook said it struggled to identify the video of the Christchurch mosque shootings because of the use of a head-mounted camera by the gunman, which made it harder for its systems to automatically detect the nature of the video.
"This was a first-person shooter video, one where we have someone using a GoPro helmet with a camera focused from their perspective of shooting," Neil Potts, Facebook's public policy director, told British MPs today.
Terror footage from a first-person perspective "was a type of video we had not seen before," he added.
Because of the nature of the video, Facebook's Artificial Intelligence - used to detect and prioritise videos that are likely to contain suicidal or harmful acts - did not work.
Potts was giving evidence to a committee of senior MPs in the UK as part of a parliamentary inquiry into hate crime. Representatives for Twitter, Google and YouTube also gave evidence.
Social media platforms, such as Facebook, have been facing scrutiny after the shooter accused of killing dozens of people in two mosques in Christchurch live-streamed the murders over the internet.
The social media company came under sharp criticism for not taking the video down fast enough and for letting it be circulated and uploaded to other platforms like YouTube.
At congressional hearings in the US over the past two years, executives from Facebook and YouTube said they were investing heavily in Artificial Intelligence that would be able to find and block violent and graphic videos before anyone saw them.
In a blog post following the attack, Facebook said that its AI systems are based on using many thousands of examples of content to train a system to detect certain types of text, imagery or video.
Potts was also chastised by the committee's chair, the Labour party's Yvette Cooper, for not knowing the senior officer in charge of counter terrorism policing in the UK, Neil Basu.
"We've been told by the counter terrorism chief that social companies don't report to the police incidents that clearly are breaking the law," Cooper told Potts. "You may remove it, but you don't report it."

Kushner: Americans' Wages Are Donald Trump's Top Immigration Priority
President Donald Trump's first priority in immigration policy is protecting Americans' wages, Jared Kushner told an audience at the #Time100 summit today.
"We have a lot of objectives ... Number one, he wants to protect American wages," Kushner said as he briefly described an immigration reform plan which he will present to the president in the next two weeks.
Kushner's tied Trump top-level support for Americans' wages to Trump's other policies that help American investors and CEOs also reach their objectives:
We freed up companies to be able to invest capital, which is creating jobs - we've lowered the corporate tax rate and we've given a tax cut to individuals, which means there is more consumption. We're working on trade deals ... We've figured how to make our country energy independent. We've increased the amount of energy we are creating which geopolitically is very important. We're investing in the industries of the future - Artificial Intelligence, 5G, quantum computing- a lot of things that allow us to be long-term competitive. And then also appointing a lot of conservative judges has allowed us and a lot of businesses to have certainty on what the law is, and so those things, if you couple them with maybe infrastructure [spending] and then immigration reform, I think that will keep out country competitive for the long run.
Kushner's strategic combination of wages and competitiveness could be the political bargain which preserves the GOP coalition amid chaotic diversity, alienated young voters, and global competition for jobs.
That GOP coalition was broken by the high-immigration/low-wages policies which were pushed by the two prior establishment presidents. For example, those policies impoverished millions of Americans while boosting the GOP's establishment, so causing the 2016 defeat of the GOP's establishment candidates by voters who backed New York populist Donald Trump.
In 2018, Americans' wages rose by roughly four percent, even as companies earned a rising sale, profits, and stock market values.

Artificial Intelligence used to diagnose PTSD by analyzing veterans' voices
Researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in war veterans by analyzing the rhythm and tone of their voices.
The study, published Monday, found that the AI tool can distinguish between the voices of those with or without PTSD with 89 per cent accuracy.
Researchers gathered speech samples from 53 U.S. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with military-service-related PTSD, as well as those of 78 veterans without the mental health condition.
In January, researchers with Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University combined brain imaging and machine learning to diagnose PTSD with 92 per cent accuracy.
Veterans Affairs Canada estimates that up to 10 per cent of war zone veterans-including peacekeeping forces-will develop PTSD.
However, figures released Monday reveal that the number of Afghanistan war veterans receiving federal support for mental-health conditions nearly doubled between over the last four years.
The figures, obtained from Veterans Affairs Canada by the Canadian Press through access to information requests, show more than 6,700 military members who served in Afghanistan were receiving disability benefits for mental-health conditions in March 2018, the vast majority of which were struggling with PTSD.

Simultaneous Notre Dame/Al-Aqsa Fires: Coincidence or Conspiracy?
Sri Lankan Massacre Part of the Same Terror Campaign?
In 1988 and 1989 I lived in the heart of Paris, on Boulevard Henri IV just a few minutes' walk from the Notre Dame cathedral-the best known and most-visited Catholic monument this side of St. Peter's Square. Dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary, beloved by both Christians and Muslims, Notre Dame is a product and symbol of the period some consider the high point of Western civilization, the 12th and 13th Christian centuries. Those were the years when long-lost knowledge filtered into Europe from Byzantium, the Holy Land, and Muslim Spain, triggering an amazing burst of spiritual, artistic, intellectual, and technological creativity. Among the most impressive products of that astonishing period were the great Gothic cathedrals.
On 15 April 2019, around 18:45 CEST, fires simultaneously broke out in the Christian and Islamic world's greatest iconic monuments, Notre Dame cathedral and the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The Notre Dame fire did the most damage and grabbed headlines.
It is easy to see why the world paid more attention to the Paris tragedy. Images of Notre Dame in flames, its roof and spire collapsing, inspired shock and dread-not unlike the explosive "collapses" on September 11, 2001. And it wasn't just humans, who are capable of feeling emotions including shock and dread, that noticed the resemblance. YouTube's conspiracy filter algorithm misfired by defacing videos of the Notre Dame inferno with a pop-up summarizing the official story of 9/11. The YouTube algorithm, which apparently is not very Artificially intelligent, mistook news videos of the cathedral fire for scientific documentaries about the explosive demolition of the World Trade Center. Conclusion: If the YouTube whizzes are stupid enough to insist on defacing scientific documentaries with annoying pop-ups shoving the absurd and thoroughly-discredited official story of 9/11 down our throats, whatever "Artificial Intelligence" they create will probably be at least as dumb as they are. (Only a paranoid conspiracy theorist would suspect that the 9/11 OCT tags were intentionally inserted to cue a subliminal Islamophobic subtext to the Notre Dame fire. Right?)
It wasn't just AI (Artificial Idiocy) that vaguely sensed some obscure connection between the Notre Dame blaze and the events of 9/11. Many of us who felt shock and dread on September 11, 2001 later discovered that our emotions had been manipulated by the neocon-Zionist operatives who engineered that false flag spectacle. So whenever we start to feel similar emotions while watching a superficially similar televised spectacle, we ask ourselves: Are we being manipulated yet again?

Elon Musk says a machine to connect the human brain to computers is "coming soon"
Elon Musk has revealed his Neuralink startup is close to announcing the first brain-machine interface to connect humans and computers.
The entrepreneur took to Twitter to tell followers the technology would be "coming soon" - though he failed to provide details.
Neuralink was set up in 2016 with the ambitious goal of developing hardware to enhance the human brain, however, little about how this will work has been made public.
The startup's website, which is advertising vacancies for 11 different jobs, describes the futuristic technology as an "ultra-high bandwidth" connection between the human brain and computers.
Mr Musk has frequently claimed the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. Such an interface, he says, is essential if humans are to compete with such technology in the future.
At a technology conference in 2016, Mr Musk said humans risked being treated like house pets by AI machines if a brain-computer interface was not built.
"I don't love the idea of being a house cat, but what's the solution?" he said. "I think one of the solutions that seems maybe the best is to add an AI layer."
Speaking last year on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Mr Musk said Neuralink's technology would allow humans to "effectively merge with AI".
A paper published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2015 described a concept for this connection, explaining how a flexible circuit could be injected into a living brain.
"We're trying to blur the distinction between electronic circuits and neural circuits," said Harvard researcher Charles Lieber, who co-authored the study.
"We have to walk before we can run, but we think we can really revolutionise our ability to interface with the brain."

Here's how powerful the software is.
Approximately two weeks after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the History Channel aired a documentary entitled "The History of Terrorism." In that documentary, a law enforcement officer described some of the methods used to track terrorist movements. He stated that "computers" were able to track such things as credit card purchases, entry and exits visas, telephone and utility usage etc. It was implied that these diverse data base files could be integrated into one unified table. He gave an example that through the use of such a system it would be possible to determine that if a suspected terrorist entered the country and was going to hide out, that by monitoring the water and electrical consumption of all possible suspects in a given cell, it would be possible to determine where the terrorist was hiding out by seeing whose utility use increased. Conversely, it would be possible to determine if a terrorist was on the move if his utility consumption declined or his local shopping patterns were interrupted. Aren't those "club" cards from your supermarket handy?
This is but the barest glimpse of what Promis can do. Mated with Artificial Intelligence it is capable of analyzing not only an individual's, but also a community's entire life, in real time. It is also capable of issuing warnings when irregularities appear and of predicting future movements based upon past behavior.
In the financial arena Promis is even more formidable. Not only is it capable of predicting movements in financial markets and tracking trades in real time. It has been reported, on a number of occasions, to have been used, via the "back door" to enter secret bank accounts, including accounts in Switzerland and then remove the money in those accounts without being traced. Court documents filed in the various INSLAW trials include documentation of this ability as well as affidavits and declarations from Israeli Intelligence officers and assets.
The one essential weakness of Promis is that it must be physically installed on a targeted computer for it to be effective. Hence, if Osama bin Laden is able to penetrate a U.S. Government system it must mean that Promis is there.
FTW has previously reported that the CIA uses Promis to track stock trades in real time. Thus, as described in FTW stories on insider trading directly connected to the September 11 attacks, the Agency had the ability to determine that immediate impending attacks were planned against both American and United Air Lines. The Israeli Herzliyya Institute for Counterterrorism was able to publish a detailed accounting of the trades within days of the attacks and their report underscores the connection between counterterrorist efforts and the monitoring of financial markets.

>>6274422INSLAW had two limited contracts to provide Promis to Justice in 1982 and 1983. Neither application had anything to do with tracking terrorist activities. Hamilton's suits charged that Reagan Administration officials, including Edwin Meese, pirated the software, modified it for Intelligence and financial uses and made millions by selling it to the governments of Israel, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and other friendly nations. After the installation of a CIA-created "back door" into the program, Israel, using its lifelong Mossad agent Robert Maxwell, reportedly sold the software to "unfriendly" nations and then secretly retrieved priceless Intelligence data.
The statements of FBI and Justice sources in the FOX story on October 16 have made Hamilton's case. They also give but the barest hint of the security breaches that may now be helping the most wanted man in the world. Bin Laden's reported possession of Promis may also explain the alleged threatening messages that were received by President Bush while aboard Air Force One on September 11th.
A mild uproar erupted in the days after the WTC attacks when Presidential aide Carl Rove indicated that threatening calls had been placed to Air Force One just hours after the attacks while President Bush was onboard. Some journalists excoriated Rove for suggested that bin Laden might have a mole in the White House who could have given him the secure codes to reach the aircraft in flight.
Bin Laden's possession of Promis would provide a possible explanation. According to Hamilton, under the right circumstances, Promis could have enabled the threatening calls to be made. "I have no way of knowing whether any Promis-related base has dial-up access to Air Force One. But if that happens, and if you have Promis, it's a straightforward thing to do. But one would still need to have access to the targeting computer.
"There is a central locator system to track members of the National Command Authority 24/7. If that is a database created with Promis and if anyone had access you could do it."
Such a penetration using Promis might also explain why Vice President Dick Cheney was hurriedly whisked out of sight and reportedly taken to a secure underground facility, where he reportedly works to this day. Cheney's prolonged absences from the public eye would also be explained by such a breach of security.
Numerous news stories, books and investigative reports, including a September 2000 story in FTW (Vol. III, No.7), spanning nearly two decades, have established that Promis holds unique abilities to track terrorists. The software has also, according to numerous sources including Hamilton, been modified with Artificial Intelligence and developed in parallel for the world's banking systems to track money movements, stock trades and other financial dealings. Systematics - since purchased by Alltel - an Arkansas financial and technical firm headed by billionaire Jackson Stephens, has often been reported as the primary developer of Promis for financial Intelligence use. Systematics through its various evolutions had been a primary supplier of software used in inter-bank and international money transfers for many years. Attorneys who have been connected to Systematics and Promis include Webster Hubbell, Hillary Clinton and the late Vince Foster.
If true, and if claims by the FBI and the Department of Justice that they have "recently" discontinued the use of Promis are accurate, the likelihood than bin Laden may have compromised the systems the U.S. government and its allies use to track him is high. Additional information in the FOX broadcast indicating that Britain stopped using the software just three months ago and that Germany stopped using the software just weeks ago are equally disturbing. These are mission-critical systems requiring years of development. What has replaced them? And even if the U.S. government has replaced the software given to its allies with newer programs - several of which FTW knows to be in existence - the FOX report clearly implies that bin Laden and Associates have had ample time to get highly secret Intelligence data from both Britain and Germany. Those systems might, in turn, have compromised U.S. systems. The WTC attacks had - by all reckoning - been in the works for years, and bin Laden would certainly have known that the U.S. would be looking for him afterwards.

On August 25th the Toronto Star broke what was to become a series of stories by Valerie Lawson and Allan Thompson. The cat was out of the bag. Various figures known to have direct connections to Riconosciuto had been virtually dogging the Mounties' every move as they traveled in the US. One even contacted me just days after the Mounties left LA. It was a story that could not be kept under wraps forever. Most of the Star story was accurate. It was going to be difficult for the RCMP to move quietly now. A Reuters story the same day closed with the following paragraphs, "CanadaÕs national counterIntelligence agency said in a June report that friendly nations were making concerted efforts to steal sensitive technology and information.
"The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said outsiders were particularly interested in aerospace, biotechnology, chemicals, communications, information technology, mining and metallurgy, nuclear energy, oil and gas, and the environment." That was Geomatics, at the heart of Canada's space program, Canada's flagship space technology. I checked the Star story. There had been no mention of high tech or space related issues. What did Reuters know? In mid September, after receiving confidential source documents related to the case telling me that one version of Promis, modified in Canada was handled through the Canadian firm I.P. Sharp, I got an answer. A quick search on the web revealed that Sharp, a well documented component of the case, had been bought by a Reuters company in the early 90s. Hamilton later told me that he had heard that Reuters possibly had the Promis software. That would explain how they knew about the aerospace connection.
Michael Dobbs of The Washington Post called and asked what I knew. I confirmed that I had met with the Mounties but didn't know much else other than giving them the Tyree flow charts. The Post was never going to tell the truth. Their business was keeping secrets, not revealing them. The Mounties had made waves.
On August 28 the phone rang and it was a collect call from Tyree. "Get a tape recorder and turn it on," he said. Over the course of the next half an hour Tyree, obviously reading from detailed and copious notes, named individuals and companies dealing with Promis software and its progeny. The tape was specific down to naming specific engineers in military and private corporations doing Promis research. Tyree described specific Congressional committees that had been infiltrated with "enhanced" Promis. Tyree described how Promis progeny, having inspired four new computer languages had made possible the positioning of satellites so far out in space that they were untouchable. At the same time the progeny had improved video quality to the point where the same satellite could focus on a single human hair. The ultimate big picture.
Promis progeny had also evolved to the point where neural pads could be attached to plugs in the back of the human head and thought could be translated into electrical impulses that would be equally capable of flying a plane or wire transferring money. Names like Sandia, Cal-Tech, Micron, Tech University of Graz, Oded Leventer and Massimo Grimaldi rolled from his lips as he tore through the pages of notes. Data, such as satellite reconnaissance, could also now be downloaded from a satellite directly into a human brain. The evolution of the Artificial Intelligence had progressed to a point where animal behavior and thought were being decoded. Mechanical humans were being tested. Animals were being controlled by computer.
Billy saved Canada for last.
"Here's how we fuck Canada," he started. He was laughing as he facetiously described what was coming as some sort of bizarre payback for the War of 1812. Then, placing the evolutions of Promis in context with the Canadian story Tyree asked a question as to why one would really now need to go to all the trouble of monitoring all of a foreign country's Intelligence operations. "There's an easier way to get what I want," he said. "I access their banks. I access their banks and I know who does what and who's getting ready to do what," he said. He described how Canada had been provided with modified Promis software which Canada then modified, or thought they had modified, again to eliminate the trap door. That software turned loose in the financial and scientific communities then became Canada's means of believing that they were securing the trap door information from the entities to whom they provided their versions of Promis. But, unknown, to the Canadians the Elbit chips in the systems bypassed the trap doors and permitted the transmission of data when everyone thought the computers were turned off and secure. Tyree did not explain how the chips physically got into the Canadian computers.

>>6274387As we copied Tyree's papers and went through other materials the next day I was aware that the Canadians expressed special interest in Jackson Stephens and anything having to do with the manipulation of financial markets. They asked for copies of news reports I had showing that General Wesley Clark, the recently retired NATO Commander, has just gone to work for Stephens, Inc. in Little Rock Arkansas. I also provided documents showing that Stephens' financial firm Alltel, heir to Systematics, was moving heavily into the mortgage market. As the Mounties repeatedly pressed for information on the identity of the Sergeant Major I referred them to Tyree directly through his attorney Ray Kohlman and to Tyree's closest friend, the daughter of CIA bagman and paymaster Albert Carone, Dee Ferdinand. [For more on Carone visit the FTW web site].
McDade did eventually contact Ferdinand by phone and shortly thereafter one of the most bizarre twists in the whole story took place.
About a week after meeting the Mounties I heard back from Sean that the Tyree documents and flow charts from 1996 had been right on the money. A special recurring theme in those documents that meshes with Seymour's research is the fact that modified versions of Promis software with both Artificial Intelligence and trap doors were being smuggled out of Los Alamos nuclear labs in containers labeled as radioactive waste. According to Tyree and other sources, after an Indian reservation, the safest place in the world that no one will ever break into is a nuclear waste dump. This also applies to containers in transit between countries. The radioactive warning label guarantees unmolested movement of virtually anything. Promis software is apparently no exception.
Bill Casey and Al Carone from the Grave
Albert Vincent Carone has also been covered exhaustively in FTW, both in the newsletter and on the web site. A retired NYPD Detective, also a made-member of the Genovese crime family, Carone spent his entire working career as a CIA operative. (FTW has special reports on both Bill Tyree and Al Carone available from the web site or at the end of this newsletter). For more than 25 years before his mysterious death in 1990, Al Carone served as a bagman and liaison between George Bush, CIA Director Bill Casey, Oliver North, Richard Nixon and many other prominent figures including Robert Vesco, Manuel Noriega and Ferdinand Marcos. The Carone-Tyree connection, covered in detail in the Sept. 1998 issue (Vol. I, No.7) goes back to operations in the mid 1970s when Tyree, serving with the Special Forces, engaged in CIA directed missions for which Carone was the paymaster.
Carone's death from "chemical toxicity of unknown etiology" in 1990 resulted in the sanitizing of all of his military and NYPD records as well as the theft and disappearance of nearly ten million dollars in bank accounts, insurance policies and investments. Virtually overnight, almost every record of Carone disappeared leaving his daughter and her family nearly bankrupt under the burden of tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. In 1996, Carone's daughter, Dee Ferdinand, discovered that Tyree and Carone had known each other and that Tyree could prove instrumental in helping to restore Carone's lost fortune. Ferdinand filed suit in U.S. District Court this spring seeking to recover pensions, insurance policies and benefits in a case which has no known connection to Promis. I have known Ferdinand and her family for more than seven years. Never once has she mentioned a connection between her father and Promis although she was well familiar with the case from Tyree and conversations with Bill Hamilton. I had referred the Mounties to her because of my belief that she could possibly help identify Tyree's source, the Sergeant Major.

Harvard and HUD
Former Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts has had about as much ink in FTW as anyone else. A feisty, innovative thinker she has seen raging success as a Managing Director of the Wall Street investment bank Dillon Read and she has been "nuked" into near poverty after devising software strategies seeking to optimize financial data and returns for the US taxpayer. While acting as a HUD consultant in 1996, selling defaulted HUD Mortgages into the private market through her own investment bank, Hamilton Securities (no relation), she achieved unheard of taxpayer returns of around 90 cents on the dollar. In doing so she ran afoul of an entrenched Washington financial power structure feeding uncompetitively at the HUD trough.
Last month we described how Fitts devised a data optimization method using hand coding by residents of a HUD Housing project in Washington to produce Promis-like results. She successfully "mapped" the flow of HUD money and was about to create proprietary software that would make the job easier. That software would have integrated billions of pieces of disorganized HUD financial data. Suddenly, in August 1996, DoJ and HUD InspectorÕs General investigations started that seized her computers and resulted in a four-year blatantly illegal campaign to crush everything she stood for. No charges were ever brought, Fitts, her money and her data are still viciously separated.
One of the empires Fitts threatened was that of the Harvard Endowment. The Harvard Endowment is not really a benevolent university fund but an aggressive investment predator with $19 billion in assets, some from HUD subsidized housing. Harvard also has a number of other investments in high tech defense operations and had a big hand in investing George W BushÕs lackluster firm Harken Energy. "W" has a Harvard MBA. FittsÕ chief nemesis at Harvard, Herbert "Pug" Winokur, head of Capricorn Investments, and member of the board of the Harvard Endowment is also a PhD mathematician from Harvard where the mathematical breakthroughs that gave rise to Artificial Intelligence using block-modeling research were discovered. In the 60s Winokur had done social science research for the Department of Defense on causes of inner city unrest in the wake of the 1967 Detroit riots.
The pioneering research at Harvard that allegedly gave rise to the Artificial Intelligence installed in Promis later moved north. According to a Harvard website (www.analytichtech.com/mb119/chap2e.htm) "Much of the effort of the Harvard group - no longer based solely at Harvard - was centered on the International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA) at Toronto…". Things grew more suspicious as FittsÕ research disclosed that Winokur, through Capricorn Investments, had a decisive role in the 1980s management of the Intelligence/government outsourcing mega-firm DynCorp, of Reston, VA. Winokur served as DynCorp CEO from 1989 to 1997. DynCorp handles everything for Uncle Sam from aircraft maintenance, to sheep-dipping of combat troops into private assault forces in Colombia, to the financial management of HUD records, to the maintenance of computer security at government facilities. One of DynCorpÕs most interesting contracts is with the DoJ for the financial management of assets seized in the drug war. DynCorp also counts among its shareholders former CIA Director James Woolsey. Pug Winokur made DynCorp what it is today and he still sits on the board.

In the meantime, after winning some successes, including a resounding Congressional finding that he had been cheated, Bill Hamilton hit his own buzz saw in a series of moves by the Reagan and Bush Justice Departments and rigged court decisions intended to bankrupt him and force him out of business. He survived and fought on. In the meantime hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties and sales fees were going into the wrong pockets. And, as was later revealed from a number of directions, this initial tampering with the software was far from the only game in town. Both the CIA, through GE Aerospace in Herndon Virginia (GAO Contract #82F624620), the FBI and elements of the NSA were tinkering with Promis, not just to modify it with a trap door, but to enhance it with Artificial Intelligence or AI. It's worth it to note that GE Aerospace was subsequently purchased by Martin-Marietta which then merged to become Lockheed-Martin the largest defense and aerospace contractor in the world. This will become important later on.
Confidential documents obtained by FTW indicate that much of the AI development was done at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia Labs using research from other US universities, including Harvard, Cal-Tech and the University of California. And it was not just Reagan Republicans who got their hands on it either. As we'll see shortly, Promis came to life years before the election of Ronald Reagan. It was also, according to Bill Tyree, an essential element in the espionage conducted by Jonathan Pollard against not only the US government but the Washington embassies of many nations targeted by Israel's Mossad.

Artificial Intelligence speeds efforts to develop clean, virtually limitless fusion energy…
Crucial to demonstrating the ability of deep learning to forecast disruptions – the sudden loss of confinement of plasma particles and energy – has been access to huge databases provided by two major fusion facilities: the DIII-D National Fusion Facility that General Atomics operates for the DOE in California, the largest facility in the United States, and the Joint European Torus (JET) in the United Kingdom, the largest facility in the world, which is managed by EUROfusion, the European Consortium for the Development of Fusion Energy. Support from scientists at JET and DIII-D has been essential for this work.
The vast databases have enabled reliable predictions of disruptions on tokamaks other than those on which the system was trained – in this case from the smaller DIII-D to the larger JET. The achievement bodes well for the prediction of disruptions on ITER, a far larger and more powerful tokamak that will have to apply capabilities learned on today's fusion facilities.
The deep learning code, called the Fusion Recurrent Neural Network (FRNN), also opens possible pathways for controlling as well as predicting disruptions.
Most intriguing area of scientific growth
"Artificial Intelligence is the most intriguing area of scientific growth right now, and to marry it to fusion science is very exciting," said Bill Tang, a principal research physicist at PPPL, coauthor of the paper and lecturer with the rank and title of professor in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysical Sciences who supervises the AI project. "We've accelerated the ability to predict with high accuracy the most dangerous challenge to clean fusion energy."
Unlike traditional software, which carries out prescribed instructions, deep learning learns from its mistakes. Accomplishing this seeming magic are neural networks, layers of interconnected nodes – mathematical algorithms – that are "parameterized," or weighted by the program to shape the desired output. For any given input the nodes seek to produce a specified output, such as correct identification of a face or accurate forecasts of a disruption. Training kicks in when a node fails to achieve this task: the weights automatically adjust themselves for fresh data until the correct output is obtained.
A key feature of deep learning is its ability to capture high-dimensional rather than one-dimensional data. For example, while non-deep learning software might consider the temperature of a plasma at a single point in time, the FRNN considers profiles of the temperature developing in time and space. "The ability of deep learning methods to learn from such complex data make them an ideal candidate for the task of disruption prediction," said collaborator Julian Kates-Harbeck, a physics graduate student at Harvard University and a DOE-Office of Science Computational Science Graduate Fellow who was lead author of the Nature paper and chief architect of the code.
Training and running neural networks relies on graphics processing units (GPUs), computer chips first designed to render 3D images. Such chips are ideally suited for running deep learning applications and are widely used by companies to produce AI capabilities such as understanding spoken language and observing road conditions by self-driving cars.
Kates-Harbeck trained the FRNN code on more than two terabytes (1012) of data collected from JET and DIII-D. After running the software on Princeton University's Tiger cluster of modern GPUs, the team placed it on Titan, a supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, and other high-performance machines….

Could Artificial Intelligence Solve Nuclear Fusion's Biggest Problem?
The predictive powers of Artificial Intelligence could help scientists bring nuclear fusion closer to actually working, researchers from Princeton and Harvard working with the Department of Energy hope.
The implications of a success here could be major: nuclear fusion can theoretically supply emissions-free electric power indefinitely. However, making the leap from theoretical to practical has proved challenging.
Nuclear fusion, unlike fission, which is what takes place in traditional reactors, involves smashing particles together and turning them into plasma to generate energy. This takes place in what is called a magnetic fusion machine, or a tokamak. The tokamak produces magnetic fields that keep the superhot plasma inside and keep it moving-and hot-but controlling it for ever-longer periods of time and making it move faster to produce more energy has been a challenge.
Many believe we will never be able to make nuclear fusion happen, but researchers are not giving up. Computer technology is a natural ally to scientists in this quest for infinite clean power, but the presence of data to feed into the computers has proved crucial.
The Princeton and Harvard scientists used data from two fusion reactors: the Department of Energy's DIII-D National Fusion Facility in California, operated by General Atomics, and the Joint European Torus tokamak in the UK. What the team learns about predicting outages will be applied to the largest tokamak that is currently in construction in the ITER project in Europe. It may just help solve fusion's biggest problem: why the particle smashing sometimes stops.

As Governments Adopt Artificial Intelligence, There's Little Oversight and Lots of Danger
Artificial Intelligence systems can - if properly used - help make government more effective and responsive, improving the lives of citizens. Improperly used, however, the dystopian visions of George Orwell's 1984 become more realistic.
On their own and urged by a new presidential executive order, governments across the U.S., including state and federal agencies, are exploring ways to use AI technologies.
As an AI researcher for more than 40 years, who has been a consultant or participant in many government projects, I believe it's worth noting that sometimes they've done it well - and other times not quite so well. The potential harms and benefits are significant.
An early success
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security developed an AI system called "Emma," a chatbot that can answer questions posed to it in regular English, without needing to know what "her" introductory website calls "government speak" - all the official terms and acronyms used in agency documents.
By late 2016, DHS reported that Emma was already helping to answer nearly a half-million questions per month, allowing DHS to handle many more inquiries than it had previously, and letting human employees spend more time helping people with more complicated queries that are beyond Emma's abilities. This sort of conversation-automating Artificial Intelligence has now been used by other government agencies, in cities and countries around the world.
Flint's water
A more complicated example of how governments could aptly apply AI can be seen in Flint, Michigan. As the local and state governments struggled to combat lead contamination in the city's drinking water, it became clear that they would need to replace the city's remaining lead water pipes. However, the city's records were incomplete, and it was going to be extremely expensive to dig up all the city's pipes to see if they were lead or copper.

Facebook working on creepy new voice assistant nobody wants or needs
Just what we needed, said exactly no one.
Since early 2018, Facebook's Artificial Intelligence team has been developing an AI voice assistant to compete with the likes of Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri, reports Salvador Rodriguez of CNBC/NBC News.
"The effort is coming out of the company's division that works on long-term tech projects and hardware, including the company's virtual reality Oculus headsets. A team based out of Redmond, Washington, has been spearheading the effort to build the new AI assistant."
Excerpt:
The tech company has been working on this new initiative since early 2018. The effort is coming out of the company's augmented reality and virtual reality group, a division that works on hardware, including the company's virtual reality Oculus headsets.
A team based out of Redmond, Washington, has been spearheading the effort to build the new AI assistant, according to two former Facebook employees who left the company in recent months. The effort is being lead by Ira Snyder, director of AR/VR and Facebook Assistant. That team has been contacting vendors in the smart speaker supply chain, according to two people familiar.
It's unclear how exactly Facebook envisions people using the assistant, but it could potentially be used on the company's Portal video chat smart speakers, the Oculus headsets or other future projects.
The Facebook assistant faces stiff competition. Amazon and Google are far ahead in the smart speaker market with 67% and 30% shares in the U.S. in 2018, respectively, according to eMarketer.

Japan's bankers unhappy about their bonuses despite higher payouts
Carlos Ghosn fiasco adds to country's image as stingy employers
TOKYO – Just 19% of Japanese bankers are satisfied with their bonus payments despite more than 40% receiving higher or significantly higher payouts last year, according to a recent survey.
The results of the survey – conducted by Morgan McKinley on 289 finance professionals – is a wake-up call for companies, as experts warn that corporate Japan will lose out on both talent and investment if it does not shed its reputation as a stingy employer.
Japan has been trying to attract fund managers and financial startups from around the world as part of an effort to turn Tokyo into the world's premier financial center, a vision unveiled by Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike.
But the Japanese capital faces stiff competition for talent from other financial centers, including Hong Kong – known as the gateway to China – as well as Shanghai, the hub for Chinese equity trading, and Singapore, the region's established financial hub.
The survey found that 48% of the employees received bonuses equal to 10% to 40% of their annual salary, with 24% receiving over 40% of their annual salary.
Many financial professionals feel their employers are not being as generous as they could be, according to the report.
"They feel banks and financial institutions have been reluctant to offer higher bonuses because of 'global uncertainty,'" the report said. The number of respondents who felt positive about the economic outlook for Japan dropped to 22% this year from 43% last year.
Geopolitical issues such as U.S.-China trade tensions and Brexit have disrupted the global economy and offset the positive factors within Japan, namely its hosting of the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the Olympic Games in 2020.
The survey also comes at a time of turmoil for the financial industry, with digital technology turning the traditional banking business upside down. Mizuho Financial Group last month took a $6 billion charge to write down the value of its retail assets, while Japan's largest bank, MUFG, is set to slash its new graduate hiring by 45%. Nomura Holdings said on April 4 it will shut down 20% of its domestic branches as part of a shift to digital service.
There is also increasing competition from other industries that are stepping up efforts to attract talent in fields such as robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Japanese organizations overall have become "more proactive to retain their employees," Morgan McKinley noted, "offering more growth and promotion opportunities as well as finding better ways to recognize and reward individual performance."
According to a separate survey by Morgan McKinley, the number of overall job vacancies increased 11.5% year on year, but that of job seekers fell 14%.
To fill the talent gap, some businesses are hiring more foreigners.

Fantasy: Strong AI
Strong, or general AI is the science-fiction Artificial Intelligence: fully sapient, human-like machine Intelligence. No matter what we see in the movies, machines that approximate human consciousness, with broad understanding of relevance, and the ability to extrapolate knowledge into new fields, are not a reality at this time. There are people working on building strong AI.
Perhaps the best thing that can be said of these projects is that they've so far been unsuccessful.
The field of Artificial Intelligence is developing very rapidly, and AI tools are getting smarter and more sophisticated by leaps and bounds. However, every advance shows us that human level Intelligence is far more complex and difficult to achieve than we previously suspected. Tasks previously thought to require general Intelligence, such as playing games like Go, are solved bringing us no closer to this goal. Human Intelligence is still unlike any machinery we can create.
Frankly, this is a good thing. Consider a virtually immortal entity with greater than human Intelligence and speed, no physical boundaries, the ability to replicate itself instantaneously across our networks, and trained with human behavior as its model. This is a situation with few possible good outcomes, and many dangerous ones.
The potential ethical issues are deep, murky, and complex. If we build a self-aware, intelligent entity, it would be immoral to enslave, abuse, or to treat that entity as a tool. This is a determination that is extremely problematic to make. The nature of sapience is one of the basic unanswered questions in the history of philosophy. If we decide that there is an "Intelligence threshold" for something to be considered self-aware, how do we quantify and test for it? Should the self-awareness standard for non-human machines be the same as for non-human animals? Should these standards be applied to the few humans who inevitably cannot pass the qualifying test?
If these questions ever arise they are years, possibly decades away. Some people consider strong AI to be the "holy grail" of Artificial Intelligence; in my opinion, such an endeavor is horribly misguided. It should be self-evident that there are some technologies which should not be built. It is theoretically possible to build a bomb powerful enough to destroy all life on earth, but only a fool would try. Strong AI clearly numbers among such technologies.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
https://medium.com/@agnesintel/the-ethics-of-Artificial-Intelligence-53c8601275b4
Myth and reality
Artificial Intelligence has been a staple of fiction for many years; many misconceptions and misunderstandings have grown up around AI systems. Most of the fears and ethical concerns about this technology stem from what we see in novels, movies and television, which depict AI as possessing human-like Intelligence?-?or even surpassing it. In these scenarios, Artificial Intelligence poses great existential dangers to the human race, as well as creating difficult ethical dilemmas and questions about the nature of humanity, Intelligence, and free will.
The reality is very different. Such scenarios are not impossible, but they are many years, even decades away, and they are far from what AI systems are in today's world. The advent of intelligent automation certainly brings with it great ethical concerns and grave dangers, just not the same ones we see in the movies.

The algorithms and principles behind AI are decades, and in some cases centuries old. Recent advances in processing power have made these tools usable in real time, bringing us the ability to automate non-routine tasks and create tools with limited Intelligence and volition. In order to meaningfully discuss the ethics of AI, it is first necessary to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Strong AI, also referred to as "general Artificial Intelligence", is what we see in the movies. Weak AI, or "narrow Artificial Intelligence", is the reality of what we have today.

SoftBank picking its battles with U.S.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - SoftBank Group Corp. has agreed to give up board seats and access to sensitive information, take a more passive role in startups and make other concessions to get government clearance for its technology deals, as the Japanese investor confronts a new U.S. law aimed at cracking down on foreign investors.
SoftBank's investment style has made it a frequent visitor of a U.S. government group known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), charged with reviewing foreign investment for national security and competitive risks.
"We know the deals are going to be reviewed," Marcelo Claure, chief operating officer of SoftBank Group Corp, said in an interview with Reuters this week. "We have abided by what the U.S. government wants."
SoftBank likes to take large stakes in companies working on Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, financial services and self-driving cars - technologies increasingly viewed as critical to national security. This puts them in the crosshairs of a law signed by U.S. President Donald Trump last year expanding the powers of CFIUS.
Giving up board seats and access to private information would make SoftBank less of a threat in the eyes of CFIUS, giving its deals a better chance of approval.
"We would not accept this if we were in the business of running companies," Claure said of the concessions. "We're not. We are in the business of investing."
Claure declined to provide specifics on investments where SoftBank has had to make concessions or give up board seats, and the U.S. government does not comment on CFIUS reviews.
The regulations have deterred many foreign investors from even attempting investment in U.S. tech companies.
"Everything is a conversation with the government so you figure you are going to pick your battles," Claure said.

Google loses diversity chief amid unrest over workplace issues
Danielle Brown will be replaced by Melonie Parker, who's been serving as the company's head of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Google diversity chief Danielle Brown on Thursday said she's leaving the search giant, as the company has dealt with several uprisings from employees over the last year related to workplace culture. She will be replaced by Melonie Parker, who's been serving as the company's head of diversity, equity and inclusion. Brown, who spent almost two years at the company, said in a LinkedIn post that she's headed to Gusto, a payroll and benefits startup based in Denver and San Francisco.
In her announcement, Brown doesn't mention Google by name, but said she wanted to explore working on diversity issues at places other than the "biggest tech companies in the world." "What if, in addition to trying to solve for employee engagement and inclusion within the biggest tech companies in the world, we tried to solve those critical needs for every local storefront, every new startup just getting off the ground, or every doctor's office across our communities?" she wrote. Brown didn't respond to a request for additional comment.
Google confirmed her departure. "We're grateful to Danielle for her excellent work over the past two years to improve representation in Google's workforce and ensure an inclusive culture for everyone," Eileen Naughton, Google's head of people operations, said in a statement. "We wish her all the best in her new role at Gusto." Brown's leaving comes a little more than a week after she and Parker released Google's annual diversity numbers. They acknowledged they'd only made "incremental progress." In 2018, women constituted 32.2% of new hires, up a bit from 31.3% the year before. The company also hired more black and Latino workers, though the gains were less dramatic. Black hires were up to 4.8% from 4.1%, and Latino hires were up to 6.8% from 6.3%.
Google has also faced intense scrutiny from its employees over its workplace conditions. In November, roughly 20,000 Googlers walked out of the company's offices worldwide to protest its handling of sexual assault allegations directed at key executives. One of the demands of the protest was to elevate Brown to report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai, rather than Naughton, to demonstrate Google's commitment to diversity. Google didn't capitulate to that demand.
More recently, more than 2,000 Googlers earlier this month signed a petition to remove a member of the company's newly formed council on Artificial Intelligence ethics for alleged anti-trans and anti-immigrant views. The board was disbanded after only a week, in response to the outcry. A day after the AI ethics board petition, 900 workers also reportedly signed a different letter demanding better treatment of Google's extended workforce, commonly known at the company as TVCs – temps, vendors and contractors. In response, Google said it'd require temp companies to provide its workers with full benefits, including health care, a $15 minimum wage and paid parental leave.

Q Research General #7856: Illicit Investigation Edition
Demand for online sex-trafficking has dropped as the operators of smaller sites struggle to stay afloat following the shut down of the largest human-trafficking portal in the United States, according to a new report shared with The Epoch Times by a counter-human trafficking technology company.
In April last year, President Donald Trump signed into law the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, or SESTA-FOSTA that stopped the shielding of website operators from state criminal charges or civil liability if they facilitate sex ads or prostitution. Just days later, sex-trafficking website Backpage.com, was shut down by the FBI.
The report by Childsafe.AI-the world's first Artificial Intelligence platform for monitoring, graphing, and modeling child exploitation risk on the web-details how the twin acts "dramatically changed" the sex-trafficking online marketplace, specifically the distribution layer that served the underground commercial sex economy.
Now, a year later, the report explains how the industry has since been fragmented across dozens of websites, all competing fiercely for market share. No single dominant site emerged in the past year as the popularity of the online economy "remains volatile and shifts quickly."
One key finding in the report that is prepared for use by law enforcement agencies across the United States, was that web traffic to advertising websites selling sex drew only 5-8 percent of the unique visitors individually as Backpage did at its height in 2016.
The company's CEO, Rob Spectre, told The Epoch Times in a phone interview that the underground marketplace is now more like the "the wild west" rather than a "high-quality well-groomed advertising, channel."
"What we are seeing overall is an evident drop in demand... a number of these operators are struggling to continue operating their services," he said. "There is also a significant influx of scam advertising."

Microsoft Worked with Chinese Military University on AI Development
Tech giant Microsoft has reportedly been working on Artificial Intelligence research with a Chinese military-run university, recent reports claim that the research could be used for both surveillance and censorship.
Tech giant Microsoft has been working with a Chinese military-operated university on research relating to A.I. which could be used for surveillance and censorship practices, according to the Financial Times. Between March and November, three scientific studies were published which were co-written by academics from the Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing. Other researchers involved in the studies had close affiliations to China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT).
Senior fellow at the New America think tank and China tech expert Samm Sacks commented on the possible issues of collaboration between Microsoft and the Chinese military-run university, stating that the recently published papers raised "red flags because of the nature of the technology, the author affiliations, combined with what we know about how this technology is being deployed in China right now." Sacks added: "The [Chinese] government is using these technologies to build surveillance systems and to detain minorities [in Xinjiang]."
The director of cyberspace policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, Adam Segal, commented on the collaboration saying: "US-China academic partnerships are increasingly under the microscope as the FBI focuses on the threat of espionage from students and scientists, and the Defense Department [focuses] on the possibility that frontier technologies might eventually make their way to the PLA [the Chinese military]."
MIT cut ties with Chinese telecoms group Huawei recently and began an "elevated risk" review process for its Chinese projects, showing that there is increased scrutiny around Chinese tech and surveillance issues.
Worryingly, some of the recent projects Microsoft researchers worked on with the NUDT have direct surveillance applications. One of the papers that was co-authored by Microsoft and NUDT researchers investigated a new A.I. method of recreating detailed environmental maps through the analysis of human faces which experts believe could have direct applications for surveillance.
Pedro Domingos, a professor of A.I. at the University of Washington, commented on such applications stating: "Let's suppose I'm an Intelligence agency and I have pictures of people of interest; I can use the system to tell something about the place they're in that they didn't realize they were giving away."
Other papers that Microsoft researchers worked on with NUDT researchers related to machine learning, an area of technology that could be used for censorship according to experts. Chinese military technology expert and fellow at the think-tank the Center for a New American Security, Elsa Kania, commented on this aspect, stating: "Machine reading comprehension may not seem directly concerning but it could be used for censorship, which is an interest of the Chinese government. They see natural language processing as a way to enable censorship at scale."
Microsoft commented on the issue stating that its "researchers, who are often academics, conduct fundamental research with leading scholars and experts from around the world to advance our understanding of technology." The company added: "In each case, the research is guided by our principles, fully complies with US and local laws, and . . . is published to ensure transparency so that everyone can benefit from our work."

Microsoft has worked with a Chinese military-run university on Artificial Intelligence research that could be used for surveillance and censorship, a revelation that has sparked anger among China hawks on Capitol Hill.
Three papers, published between March and November last year, were co-written by academics at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing and researchers with affiliations to China's National University of Defense Technology, which is controlled by China's top military body, the Central Military Commission.
One of the papers described a new AI method to recreate detailed environmental maps by analysing human faces, which experts say could have clear applications for surveillance and censorship.
The paper acknowledges the system provides a better understanding of the surrounding environment "not viewed by the camera", which can have a "variety of vision applications".
Samm Sacks, a senior fellow at the think-tank New America and a China tech policy expert, said the papers raised "red flags because of the nature of the technology, the author affiliations, combined with what we know about how this technology is being deployed in China right now".
"The [Chinese] government is using these technologies to build surveillance systems and to detain minorities [in Xinjiang]," Ms Sacks added.
The US government is debating whether research collaborations, particularly in sensitive areas such as Artificial Intelligence and augmented reality, should be subject to stricter export controls.

US-China research highlights risk of 'dual use' AI
After the Microsoft work was reported by the Financial Times, Senator Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican who has emerged as a leading China hawk, warned "we must ensure that American business interests are not enabling the [Chinese Communist party's] oppression."
"American companies need to understand that doing business in China carries significant and deepening risk," Mr Cruz added. "In addition to being targeted by the Chinese Communist party for espionage, American companies are increasingly at risk of boosting the Chinese Communist party's human rights atrocities."
Microsoft defended the research, saying it was part of a worldwide effort by its scientists, who were often academics, to work with their international counterparts on cutting-edge technology issues.
"The research is guided by our principles, fully complies with US and local laws, and?.?.?.?is published to ensure transparency so that everyone can benefit from our work," the company said.
But Adam Segal, director of cyber space policy at the Council on Foreign Relations think-tank, noted the revelation comes at a time US authorities, including the FBI, have put academic partnerships with Beijing "under the microscope" because of fears Chinese students and scientists working on "frontier technologies" may end up assisting China's People's Liberation Army.
Last week, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cut ties with telecoms group Huawei and launched an "elevated risk" review process for its Chinese collaborations.

U.K. Moves to End 'Self-Regulation' for Tech Firms
(fucking FINALLY someone has some brians in gov't re tech regs)
The U.K. government plans to create a new regulatory body to force the removal of harmful content from the internet, one of the most far-reaching legislative proposals from a host of countries trying to put a tighter leash on global technology companies.
The U.K. proposal, disclosed in a policy paper published early Monday local time, aims to create a new legal obligation for companies including Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google to take "reasonable and proportionate" action on a wide gamut of illegal or potentially harmful content published on their platforms, ranging from terrorist propaganda to cyberbullying and disinformation.
The government said the new regulator would be armed with powers to enforce compliance, including potentially the power to issue civil fines for demonstrated failures in some areas. It said that issue would be refined in coming months through consultations on an eventual law.
The U.K.'s proposal comes amid renewed momentum from governments – from Australia and New Zealand to the European Union – to force companies to take more responsibility for the content they disseminate, from pirated music to extremist manifestos. Those calls have grown since allegations that Russia abused social-media tools to inject polarizing disinformation into the 2016 U.S. presidential election – and were amplified after last month's terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, which the attacker broadcast live over Facebook.
The new proposals and laws represent a shift from an older model, where companies have often remained protected by generation-old rules that shield them from liability for content their users disseminate. Companies generally have signed on to voluntary measures to curb the spread of illicit content, but increasingly face legal obligations, too.
Germany, for instance, last year implemented a law that threatens up to EUR50 million ($56 million) in fines for companies that systematically fail to remove hate speech.
"The era of self-regulation for online companies is over," said Jeremy Wright, the U.K.'s digital secretary. "Voluntary actions from industry to tackle online harms have not been applied consistently or gone far enough."
Big tech companies say they already work hard to remove illicit and harmful content, , and increasingly use automated Artificial-Intelligence tools to do so. While tech executives increasingly say they also embrace regulation, TechUK, a lobby group for firms including Facebook, Google, Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc., said that the U.K. proposal would need to become more specific to avoid subjecting companies to uncertainty. "Not all of the legitimate concerns about online harms can be addressed through regulation," the group said.
Facebook said that it supports new internet regulations, and plans to work with the U.K. government and parliament to help shape the rules. But the company also raised what has often been a tense issue for tech companies facing content restrictions: how to balance the removal of potentially harmful postings with Silicon Valley's more general embrace of free speech and free enterprise.
"New rules for the internet should protect society from harm while also supporting innovation, the digital economy and freedom of speech," said Rebecca Stimson, Facebook's head of U.K. public policy. "These are complex issues to get right."
How to police internet content is one of several topics in a broader debate over how governments should exercise control over big technology companies whose products are woven deeply into millions of businesses and billions of individuals' daily lives.

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Messages Show Google Employees Freaking Out Over Heritage Foundation Link
Internal discussion threads exclusively obtained by Breitbart News shows Google employees in meltdown over the tech giant's decision to include the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, Kay Coles James, on an Artificial Intelligence advisory council. Multiple Google employees in the thread also engaged in outright smears against the Heritage Foundation. Google employees accused the think-tank of transphobia, homophobia, and "extremism," of viewing LGBT people as "sub-human," questioning their "humanity," and supporting "exterminationist" views.
"Would we even consider having a virulent anti-semite on the advisory board? How about an avowed racist or white supremacist?" asked one Google employee. "This seems like a double standard where anti-LGTBQ positions are tolerated more than other extreme discriminatory views." "You don't need racists, white supremacists, exterminationists on the board to know their stances. you can just talk to their targets" insisted another. "It's so upsetting that some of our leaders overlooked such hateful positions as Kay Cole James and the Heritage foundation have articulated and regularly advocate for," complained another Google employee. Another employee suggested that the "rhetorical violence" of the Heritage Foundation "translate[s] to real, material violence against trans people, particularly trans women of color." "There's no need to have these people in positions of any kind of authority in order to get their views" wrote another. Another Google employee was so incensed by the Heritage Foundation that he suggested another employee who defended the inclusion of Coles James on pragmatic grounds should lose his job. "It's not snobbery to object to associating with and legitimizing an organization dedicated to eliminating LGBTQ+ people from public life, driving them back into the closet, denying them healthcare, and so on," raged the employee.
"It's basic human decency, treating it like a difference of opinion is simply monstrous and I don't think it belongs on this list, or at Google at all." "Please feel free to see yourself off this list if all you have to contribute is concern trolling about whether or not we're pandering to rank bigotry enough. I'm muting you, and I think you should take a long hard look at how you're behaving here."
At least one of the Google employees who smeared the Heritage Foundation and its president is a prominent A.I researcher who has attended tech symposiums at the Obama White House. Meredith Wittaker, co-founder of NYU's A.I. Now Institute and head of two projects at Google, the Open Research Group and the Measurement Lab, is revealed as one of the most vitriolic opponents of conservative involvement in Google A.I. In the thread, Whittaker describes Kay Coles James, a black conservative who leads one of the most influential think-tanks in D.C., as an "outspoken bigot" who supports policies that "dehumanize and marginalize." In a different leaked discussion thread, Whittaker attacked the idea of viewpoint diversity (the idea that it's valuable to tolerate and include a variety of ideological and political viewpoints) as "dangerous."

Google disbands AI ethics board following pushback
Google on Thursday announced that it opted to disband its newly-formed Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics council following aggressive pushback from more than 2,000 Google employees.
A Google spokesperson in a statement said Google is "going back to the drawing board."
"It's become clear that in the current environment, ATEAC can't function as we wanted," the spokesperson said. "So we're ending the council and going back to the drawing board."
Google announced its new AI ethics board, a body tasked with serving as an ethical check on Google's AI technology production, last week.
The board was immediately met with controversy as thousands of Google employees and hundreds of external petitioners took issue with one of the board's members, who they said had an "anti-trans" and "anti-immigrant" record.
More than 2,380 Google employees signed onto a petition asking the company to remove Kay Cole James, president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, from the panel. They said James' positions on transgender and immigrant rights should have disqualified her from weighing in on AI ethics.
"By appointing James … Google elevates and endorses her views, implying that hers is a valid perspective worthy of inclusion in its decision making," the petition read. "This is unacceptable."
Conservatives in response urged the company to stand its ground, saying they supported James' inclusion on the panel.
The group of protesting Google employees, who organized under the title "Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate," on Thursday evening celebrated the AI panel's dissolution.
"[The AI ethics council] is over, and we did this together," the "Googlers Against Transphobia" account tweeted. "So many people (over 2300 Googlers & over 300 supporters from industry, academia and civil society) answered the call to #StandAgainstTransphobia. We thank you for your support & unwillingness to compromise on hate."

Google staffers are in revolt, demanding the removal of Heritage Foundation president Kay Coles James from an advisory board the company convened on Artificial Intelligence. A petition with more than 2,000 signatories from within the company was published on Medium on Monday, with the title "Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate."
The petition's signers described the appointment of Coles, a black grandmother, as a "weaponization of the language of diversity."
The petition was promoted internally within the company by five individuals, some of whom have a history of leftist agitation. The Daily Caller obtained emails from a private listserv in which most of the petition's sponsors made critical comments about the James appointment.
One of them, Meredith Whittaker, who leads Google's Open Research Group, posted on a private Google listserv that, "I would disagree that their views are important to consider, when those views include erasing trans people, targeting immigrants, and denying climate change."
Three of the other promoters of the petition are software engineers Joëlle Skaf, Nina-Marie Amadeo and Irene Knapp. The fifth is Emily Metcalfe, a privacy engineer.
"There is no debating the humanity of other people, especially ones who have had no power to fight policies advocated by entities like the Heritage Foundation," wrote Skaf in an email on a private listserv the day James' appointment was announced, continuing:
It is infuriating to see people on this thread give credence to despicable theories just because 'marketplace of ideas' or 'more articulate people' or whatever else. This is NOT a game. Google has enormous power, power that it frankly seems to not know what to use for. And asking entities like the Heritage Foundation for their opinions on how to use that power is misguided and will not lead an ethical use of AI. ... In all cases, Google CONTINUES to show a total lack of leadership on these issues and a total capitulation to the political whims of the moment.

JPMorgan's Dimon urges infrastructure, mortgage reform to spur U.S. growth
April 4 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co chief executive Jamie Dimon on Thursday called for reforms to U.S. public policy on education, infrastructure and mortgages to repair what he called the "fraying" American dream.
"Governments must be better and more effective - we cannot succeed without their help," Dimon in his 50-page annual letter, a third of which was devoted to his argument. "The rest of us could do a better job, too."
U.S. schools are failing to prepare students for professional-level jobs, he said, and suggested that more high schools and community colleges provide training programs and internships for specific jobs.
JPMorgan is retraining some staff in its own workforce as it prepares for jobs to be eliminated by advancements in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, Dimon said.
Dimon also called on the U.S. government to finish implementing the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, which was passed in 2015 and is meant to provide $305 billion to improve America's highways through 2020.
Bad mortgage rules are also hindering U.S. economic growth, Dimon said. He called for on policymakers to reduce "onerous and unnecessary origination and servicing requirements" and to open up "the securitization markets for safe loans."
JPMorgan is reviewing its role in originating, servicing and holding mortgages, given the current lack of reforms, he said.
Last year, Dimon praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2017 tax reform law, which lowered the business tax rate. JPMorgan invested in technology and new branches and raised employee salaries in 2018 because the reforms boosted its net income by $3.7 billion, Dimon wrote.
However, Dimon said reform is still needed to address inequities in taxes on individuals, and suggested the government expand the earned income tax credit to help the lowest earners.
JPMorgan said it expects its first-quarter net interest income will likely be flat compared with the prior quarter and adjusted expense to be up by "mid-single" digit percentage compared with the year-ago quarter.
The bank reports its first-quarter results on April 12.

Without a doubt, 5G is the technology that will usher in the Mark of the Beast.
Microchip Implants, Artificial Intelligence, 5G and The Mark of the Beast.
The Mobile World Congress meeting took place in Barcelona, Spain back in February. Representatives from the telecommunications industry, auto industry, microchip industry and banksters (100,000 people in all) met to discuss the future of wireless technology. The main theme of this year's meeting was Artificial Intelligence and intelligent connectivity. So how are cell phones, microchips, Artificial Intelligence and wireless phones connected? And why were auto manufacturers, the microchip industry and banksters involved?
.
Well we learned from the meeting that 5G (5th generation cell phone technology) will enable the widespread use of autonomous cars, and that's why auto manufacturers were there. What about the banksters and the micro-chip industry? Well 5G will allow banksters to implement a cashless banking system that could be used from any cell phone by merely swiping a microchip implanted in a person's hand. That's why the banksters and micro-chip representatives were there. Oddly, during the meeting, a man volunteered to come on stage and have a microchip inserted in his hand. How are microchips linked to wireless phone technology?
According to MSN, "During the presentation at the Mobile World Congress, organized by Spanish bank Sabadell, a man named Pau who had already been fitted with a chip, made a payment by placing his smartphone over the skin covering the chip. After reading several reports about the goings on at the meeting, Revelation 13:16-17 immediately came to mind. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
In the past, many Christians thought the mark of the beast was the social security system, but buying and selling doesn't require a social security number, although it's impossible to get a job without one. And many Christians in the 1930s thought the reason Roosevelt and his progressive Democrats outlawed gold coins was because of their trade value and the fact that they had no serial number and couldn't be tracked. They argued that paper money has a serial number that can be recorded and tracked.

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna Calls for Bipartisan Coalition to Work with Trump on Ending Foreign Wars: 'I Think We're All on the Same Team' As Americans
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a progressive Democrat who is the co-chairman of the 2020 Democrat presidential campaign for Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that he hopes a bipartisan coalition comes together to work with President Donald Trump to end a number of wars and U.S. military conflicts worldwide.
Ro Khanna argued that if the United States stops its backing of Saudi Arabia in Yemen's civil war, finally ends the war in Afghanistan, withdraws troops from Syria once and for all, resists temptations by some to get militarily involved in Venezuela, and completes successful peace negotiations with North Korea, then the United States could better invest resources wasted abroad into rebuilding America's infrastructure.
"Here's my message: We probably all agree that our primary responsibility is to make sure that America and our values lead the 21st century," Khanna said when asked what his message is to the millions of Trump supporters who read Breitbart News, people who may find it odd that a Democrat is open to working with Trump on at least some things:
Our biggest competitor in my view is probably China in terms of who's going to win the 21st century. Is it going to be a free enterprise democracy with America, or is it going to be an authoritarian country like China? China has not been in a war since 1979. They are putting all their resources into building good will with other countries and into developing their airports, their bridges, their universities, their Artificial Intelligence. Why are we involved in wars that are not winnable that are costing us resources that are strategic in winning the 21st century? Instead of all the trillions of dollars that we have spent on these wars, imagine if we built our infrastructure, if we invested in our people, if we helped build our country to make sure that we win in the 21st century. I think that is a message that every American regardless of whether you voted for President Trump or whether you voted for a Democratic member of Congress can get behind because it's for the national purpose and when it comes to winning in the 21st century I think we're all on the same team.
In the hyper-partisan era that is the Trump administration, Khanna has emerged as a unique voice in the Democrat Party. While he is certainly a progressive Democrat and harsh critic of the president and his administration on many things, he is also someone who is willing to work with Trump in places where he agrees with the president - particularly on ending wars he, like many in the grassroots of both sides of the aisle, view as endless.
Khanna definitely has credibility on both sides of the aisle and is able to work seamlessly with voices as diverse as House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and newly elected socialist firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). In fact, the night before this interview with Breitbart News a little over a week ago, Ocasio-Cortez praised Khanna on her Twitter account - a tweet highlighted by 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Answer: michaelbeatty tweet: https://archive.fo/6xPQ8 2013-Dianne Feinstein announces California opens a California-China trade & investment office.. Listen as she explains her "special connection" with Shangai leaders going back to the 1970's. #WAR @realDonaldTrump /> 1:30 9:11 PM - 8 Oct 2019 WASHINGTON EXAMINER: The Spy Who Drove Her: Dianne Feinstein and Chinese Espionage by Ethan Epstein | September 10, 2018 04:40 AM https://archive.fo/s3bep And we now know that China, a much more worrisome long-term threat to the United States than a declining Russia, has been active in the Bay Area as well. Five years ago, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who then chaired the Intelligence Committee, was approached by the FBI. The bureau had learned that a staffer in her San Francisco office was a Chinese operative “run†out of Beijing’s consulate in that city. It appears that he had started as a legitimate employee but was at some point, likely on a visit to the East, turned by a member of the Chinese Ministry of State Security. The staffer had served the senator for some two decades as a general office lackey, a liaison to the local Chinese community, and, most important, the senator’s chauffeur whenever she was in San Francisco, her hometown. Driving Ms. Feinstein would have been a plum assignment for an Intelligence operative; it allowed the Chinese access to the senator’s comings and goings and who she met with, as well as to any conversations she might have had in the car and any documents she may have left in it. According to a column in the San Francisco Chronicle, the FBI did not believe the driver had managed to nab anything confidential. And after being approached by the bureau, the senator promptly fired him. It also appears that, ultimately, no charges were filed against the driver. Feinstein’s press secretary ignored requests for comment on this story; her office has issued standard boilerplate to media outlets saying that the senator was “mortified†by the revelation that she had a spy on her payroll. Despite her efforts to brush matters aside, the Feinstein spy scandal is significant. It’s hard to make out through the media and political class’s myopic obsession with all things Russia, but Chinese espionage in America is epidemic. In June 2015, Chinese hackers stole the sensitive personal data (Social Security numbers, addresses, etc.) of more than 20 million Americans when they breached the Office of Personnel Management’s servers. That provided Beijing a trove of information, not to mention copious blackmail opportunities. Military secrets have been targeted repeatedly, and college campuses are also host to scores of Chinese assets and operatives. Meanwhile, Beijing’s plan to dominate the pharmaceutical, aerospace, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, self-driving car, clean energy, and sundry other industries of the future—“Made in China 2025,†it’s called—is largely based on espionage, notably the purloining of American technology. And those are just the operations we know about. In other words, Dianne Feinstein’s driver might not amount to a hill of beans compared to the OPM hack. But it’s another star in a vast constellation of Chinese espionage against the United States; not to mention a clever way to get close to the chair of an important Senate committee, one privy to sensitive information. So it’s puzzling that the Washington Post has mentioned the Feinstein matter only once, and this in an opinion column rather than the news pages. The nation’s paper of record, the New York Times, hasn’t seen fit to publish even a squib on the matter. I asked the Times’s deputy Washington editor, Jonathan Weisman, why his paper hasn’t deigned to mention the story. Uncharacteristically for the garrulous Twitter-er, who this week has found time to weigh in on Crazy Rich Asians, the U.S. Postal Service, and the crowd capacity of Texas A&M’s football stadium, Weisman declined to answer. Even the Los Angeles Times, catering to a readership that Feinstein represents, has ignored it.

Answer: FOX NEWS: Dems deploying DARPA-funded AI-driven information warfare tool to target pro-Trump accounts By Gregg Re https://archive.fo/REa65 An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that received initial funding from DARPA, the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden. The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "Artificial Intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president." Social media guru Curtis Hougland is heading up Defeat Disinfo, and he received the funding from DARPA when his program was "part of an effort to combat extremism overseas." He explained in an interview with the Post that he was unhappy that top social media accounts often supported Trump, and had effectively defended the president in recent days from claims that he had suggested Americans inject themselves with disinfectant.
