    CON ARTIST: a person who cheats or tricks others by persuading them to believe something that is not true:

    President Vladimir Zelensky is the biggest con artist.
    NATO is the second biggest con artist.

    • Lavrov Lambasts Zelensky’s ‘Absurd’ Ideas Of How To Settle Conflict (TASS)

    Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Wednesday that Ukraine’s backers seem to be growing “a little tired” and showing less “emotional” involvement in the ongoing conflict, despite a steady flow of Western weaponry and other aid to Kiev and unprecedented economic pressure on Moscow.

    Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said in July that helping his country should be more important for Americans than domestic concerns, claiming that inflation and coronavirus are “nothing” compared to Ukraine’s struggle, and urging Americans to make sacrifices and support aid for Kiev “until we win.” Since the beginning of the conflict, Poland has become a key hub for the transfer of military aid to Ukraine. Addressing the WEF on Wednesday, Polish President Andrzej Duda pleaded for more deliveries of heavy weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, saying the country may not continue to exist otherwise.

    Happy Birthday Edgar!

    Today however, everyone is indecisive.

    Even the Ravens say,

    “Probably not. But don’t quote me on that.”

    Another reminder of what the AI we are being shown can do. (thus a reminder to try to imagine what we aren’t being shown)

    A weird sub-genre of Youtube videos have cropped up. Nostalgia videos for movies that never existed. Look at the style and sheer volume of stuff here. I don’t think it really impacts a person until one is 50-75% through it and you really start to have trouble maintaining denial.

    This is a product of someone simply telling GPT what they want.

    100 years ago, rags like the NYTimes had to accommodate a buncha touch monkeys called reporters and journalists back when reporting was a wild crazy gig. It took them several generations to breed today’s soft zombie journalists. Just like it took several generations to produce today’s genzie-bots.

    btw, NZ’s “Scorpion” reminds me so much of Obama.

    You can now sing in a wide variety of different voices, using AI. For example, Yamaha Vocaloid currently has 70 voices and they’re always working on more.

    You can use them 2 ways. You can give the computer the words and it will sing everything itself. Or you can slap it on top of a vocal track.

    Below, Micheal Jackson is definitely PERFORMING – his vocal was fed into the AI voice. But you are not hearing Micheal Jackson. Using Vocaloid on his vocal track means he is essentially playing the AI as an instrument.

    Same thing happening here – more noticeable because a voice match was not attempted. Celine Dion’s performance, but routed through the AI. The AI is being “played” by Celine, essentially.

    Socialism post
    Valid experiment. However, in life, when principles are applied, there is never perfect application.
    A classroom could be graded on a pure curve, where 59% of the class fails, and students are vying in a cutthroat way for their position in the class. This would also cause many students to “check out,” do little work, and fail, while some would work hard, compete and make the grade. The competition would likely be greatest in the middle — the middling students might actually be working the hardest for their grades, while receiving low, or failing, marks. This sort of experiment bears some striking similarities to pure capitalism.
    Neither experiment can be fully reproduced in life because in life there are more forces that come to bear than exist in a classroom. We have ties and priorities related to family, friends, community; we have ethics, morals, religion, and codes of conduct.
    All we can do is find the trends from these social experiments and others and look to find a mix that, when added together, gives results that are reasonably beneficial to all involved.
    And try playing a cooperative game some time with a group. Watch how the social dynamics of the participants adjust to the new environment. It is fascinating.

    Identification of druggable host dependency factors shared by multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

    “Antioxidant drugs, such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), were effective against all variants both in human lung cells, and in a humanised mouse model. Our study strongly supports the immediate use of available antioxidant drugs, such as NAC, as a general and effective anti-COVID-19 approach.”

    This did not post earlier.

    Socialism, proven failed system, officially died on it’s own in 1989. So why the videos and the quotes as one above still peddled?
    So the “captains of the industry”, currently in Davos can claim that they are the “good guys”?!?!
    As botched as it was, socialism has that, unattainable, but sill an “idea of fairness and justice”, that is, at least, percolating recently in public minds, like the one that no person should ever amass monetary fortune of those that are sacking employees by the tens of thousands as article above describes.
    Friendly reminder for those in-the-know as “who is the culprit of our demise”, that Maduro, Lula, Fatso from NK or anybody from Cuba has been invited to Switzerland. What I am saying is that the”elite” does not give shit what anybody thinks any more, so one would think that those mentioned would be the guest of honor there and everywhere by now. No?

    Extended SARS-CoV-2 RBD booster vaccination induces humoral and cellular immune tolerance in mice

    “Highlights:

    •Extended immunizations impaired the serum neutralization activity

    •Extended immunizations suppressed the formation of germinal center

    •Extended immunizations inhibited the activation of CD8+T cells

    Our findings demonstrate potential risks with the continuous use of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine boosters, providing immediate implications for the global COVID-19 vaccination enhancement strategies.”

    Every Ruler that I’ve ever heard of has been ruled by the need to protect the power to protect that power. Even the ones who swore that they were seeking and protecting power for the sake of using it to benefit the welfare others.

    That is the one truth that no ruler will ever tell the truth about, because without that lie they would not be empowered to rule. [ “Hey, Joe, I want to have the power to do whatever I want to you whether you like it or not. You’re good with you, right?”] And they do, demonstrably, want to rule. As evidenced by their doing so. They are a ruler. They will of course maintain that to help you and to protect your interests they will of course need to have the power to create and enforce rules and other instructions that would have to be followed by everybody. They might even believe this self-referencing circular nonsense themselves. The good ones all do, and many of the bad ones do, too.

    That sort of moral and cognitive circularity has a strong propensity for breaking the brains, the hearts, and the moral compass of all who try to accomplish it.

    So, what was that lie again? The lie is that rulers seek power for the sake of the well being of others. They do not. They seek power. Whether that power is intended for good, for bad, or just for fun . . . . it is first and foremost simply power. And by definition power is the action of imposing one’s will over some other person against (or without) the informed consent of that somebody’s free will.

    In other words, they want to do what THEY want to do, regardless of (or maybe even in opposition to) what that SOMEBODY else wants.

    Now a few of you guys will undoubtedly call all of this tslk as nothing more than sophist philosophical blathering of no material importance or even relevance. Of course you will, because you are so heavily invested in off-shoring your power to others that the very idea that those trusted institutional powers would rather see you dead than let you exercise your own power (or take some of theirs).

    The situation battering down our doors right now is that power run amok. That’s certainly undeniable. And stopping it from succeeding in consuming you and/or your loved ones is going to take SOME kind of power to counter-pose it, isn’t it?

    But just you remember this: the powerful rulers that created and supported to protect you and yours from the insane rulers who have run amok, are by that very action BECOMING what they say they are seeking to oppose. Can’t dodge that fact, either.

    You are personally, already in that mix whether you like it (or even know it) or not. Be careful! the balance is as delicate as it is vitally important. If you abdicate power you will remain a slave and endure or succumb to whatever comes at you, and if you resist and fight you thereby run the risk of becoming your enemy.

    So why risk anything?

    Because once you get the balance right you will discover who you really are, and at that point the game gets WAY better than you think it is now. Maybe even better than you had imagined or thought possible.

    Know your tools. A good tool will last half a lifetime or more. I still have Mac tools I bought in 1988.

    Misuse of a tool (Ardern) often leads to breakage of the tool or the object-in-repair.

    SnapOn – Nice, the real deal, but the ‘BMW’ of pro tools
    Matco – Substandard, the ‘Nissan’ of pro tools
    Mac – Serious business. All the Harley mechanics I knew back then used Mac. They have the tolerances and durability of SnapOn without the frivolity of decoration

    AI is important not only in the arts and the economy.

    I remember reading an interview of a Russian general about the big pull-back early on in Ukraine – when they had Paratroopers west of Kiev, columns all through the country, etc.

    He gave a few particulars we’re all probably familiar with, but one thing stuck in my mind. I’m paraphrasing here, but he said something like:

    “WTF am I supposed to do with full intelligence suite plus command and control coming from NATO to Ukraine forces – along with millions of multi-sensor embedded computing devices reporting back to AI processing all the data in realtime spread throughout the battlefield”

    One of the things A Deepness In The Sky goes into great detail on is the effect of saturating an area with what Verner Vinge calls “localizers.” Devices capable of powerful networked computation, equipped with a sensor suite – collecting, processing and reporting sophisticated info that could not be derived from specific points of view, specific scouting, specific sensors. He speculates on both use of localizers in society and in military applications quite prophetically from 1992. Seems the russian general was fully cognizant that it isn’t in the future anymore. All those smartphones are a localizer net.

    What Is Crimson Contagion?

    What Is Crimson Contagion?

    “Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s book The Real Anthony Fauci mentions a tabletop exercise called Crimson Contagion that ran from January through August, 2019. I had not previously heard of it and I found the mention remarkable, simply because it proves that not everyone was shocked by lockdowns. They were not part of official planning documents of either the CDC or WHO but they were clearly in the plans of someone. 

    I’ve only followed up on this report in light of growing focus on the person who coordinated Crimson Contagion: Robert Kadlec, who served in the Trump administration as Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services, Preparedness and Response. It was he who also ran the Covid response between HHS and the Department of Homeland Security. ….”
