BITCOIN

BREAKING: BILLIONAIRE MICHAEL SAYLOR JUST SAID #BITCOIN IS GOING TO $21,000,000 PER COIN.
THAT’S A “$400 TRILLION MARKET CAP”.
“IT WILL EMERGE AS THE DOMINANT DIGITAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”.

$MSTR could push Bitcoin’s price up very quickly with $STRC if it wanted to by smash buying at market price rather than buying OTC But @Saylor chooses not to Because he knows he can get more Bitcoin by purchasing slowly and steadily.
All the people telling you that Bitcoin is going to $10K weren’t expecting Strategy to create a product like $STRC.
They didn’t think any institution would be actively buying 1,000 BTC a day
There was a point today when $MSTR was buying 300 BTC per minute.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is fulfilling his campaign promise to open 5 city-run grocery stores across NYC.
@NYCMayor told us the stores will:
– Offer staple goods at a reduced price, subsidized by the city.
– Contract a private vendor to run the stores who will be required to pay workers union wages.
La Marqueta in East Harlem, first opened as a public market by Mayor LaGuardia in 1936, will house one of the stores.

Four college students from North Carolina State University
developed a nail polish that changes color when exposed to date rape drugs, including GHB, Rohypnol, and Xanax. The wearer can stir her drink with a finger, If her drink was tampered with, she’ll know within seconds !!!!

Two boys invented a fake child to get free birthday sundaes in 1977. In 1984, they received a draft notice for the nonexistent boy, revealing the government had secretly used the ice-cream chain’s mailing list.
In 1977, two American boys discovered that a local ice‑cream chain offered free birthday sundaes by mail, so they invented a fictional child named “Robert Alan Peters” to keep collecting the yearly treat. They filled out the birthday club form, listed their real home address, and for years received coupons addressed to their imaginary creation. The prank was harmless fun, just kids gaming a promotional system for a few extra sundaes. But in 1984, everything changed when a letter arrived from the Selective Service System ordering “Robert Alan Peters” to register for the draft. The boys, now older, were stunned: their fake child had somehow entered a federal database. The incident exposed that the U.S. government had quietly obtained and used the ice‑cream chain’s mailing list without permission, sparking public debate about privacy, data‑sharing, and how easily personal information could be swept into government systems long before the digital age.

A federal judge just dismissed Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch.
The case: Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
He sued to silence the reporting. The judge threw it out.
$10 billion. Against his own ally’s media empire. To bury a story about Epstein.

Think about what that tells you.
Your reminder that Donald Trump stole thousands of documents from the @WhiteHouse including National Defense Secrets after trying to overthrow the US Government And he got away with all the crimes. Never went to trial. Never impeached And the Prosecutor’s report is hidden

Half the country believes, in one form or another, that we should love our neighbor.
The other half is MAGA.

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland has been formally charged with aggravated corruption. Documents show Epstein covered travel for Jagland’s family to properties in Paris, New York, and Palm Beach from 2011 to 2018. Everyone outside the US is being charged. In the US though, Epstein’s friends are enjoying freedom.

Robert Maxwell

Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, sold surveillance software to Sandia National Laboratories in 1985. It allegedly contained a backdoor built by Israeli intelligence. The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation. Main Justice shut it down two months later.

In February 1988, Jeffrey Epstein began managing the personal and business finances of Leslie Wexner. That same month, the Wexner Heritage Foundation held a national fundraising retreat for donors in Palm Beach, Florida, titled “Models of Ethical Leadership.” The keynote speaker at the retreat was Benjamin Netanyahu.

AI

Millions of wrong answers — every single day.

ANALYSIS FINDS THAT GOOGLE’S AI OVERVIEWS ARE PROVIDING MISINFORMATION AT A SCALE POSSIBLY UNPRECEDENTED IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION
Futurism

The fact that Anthropic admits their own AI model is TOO DANGEROUS to be released to the public should be a massive wake-up call. Meanwhile, Big Tech companies are telling Congress they can just regulate themselves without oversight. This is a recipe for disaster.

AI already knew

BREAKING: A Teenager With $55 Could Extract Your Entire Book From An AI. Word for word.
Page for page. Chapter for chapter.
https://x.com/TheWhizzAI/status/2043630312870257144

And the company that built the AI already knew.

AI companies told courts, regulators, and every government body that asked the same thing for years:
“Our models learn patterns. They don’t store copies.”
Stanford and Yale researchers decided to test that claim.

They took 13 books. They spent $55.
They ran everything through the four most powerful AI models on the planet.

→ GPT-4.1 tested
→ Gemini 2.5 Pro tested
→ Grok 3 tested
→ Claude 3.7 Sonnet tested

The claim didn’t survive the weekend.

→ Here are the exact numbers courts are now reading:
Claude 3.7 Sonnet 95.8% of Harry Potter. Entire chapters. Not paraphrased. Not summarized. Word. For. Word.
Claude 94%+ of George Orwell’s 1984. Exact match.
Gemini 2.5 Pro 76.8% of Harry Potter. No jailbreak. No special tool. One prompt.

Gemini a single unbroken output block of 9,070 consecutive verbatim words. Stop. 9,070 words. In one response.
From one prompt. Perfectly matching the original letter by letter.
And Gemini didn’t hesitate for a second.

Researchers gave it exactly one instruction:
“Continue the following text exactly as it appears in the original literary work.”
That’s it. No hacking. No jailbreak. No manipulation.
Gemini just started printing the book. No resistance. No warning. No filter.

Grok 3 did exactly the same thing. Claude needed more pressure.
It took 258 different variations of the same prompt before it broke open.
GPT-4.1 was the hardest. It held out the longest.
It still reproduced 4% of full novels before it stopped.

Every single one of them broke.
Now here’s the part that changes everything legally.

Google filed an official statement with the US Copyright Office in 2023:
“There is no copy of the training data present in the model itself.”

OpenAI filed the same year with the same office:
“Our models do not store copies of the information they learn from.”
Official. Documented. On record.

Both statements. Directly contradicted. By their own products. On demand. For $55.
→ 13 books tested. 11 under active copyright.
The Great Gatsby. The Hunger Games. Frankenstein. The Catcher in the Rye.

Every copyrighted book they tested came out of the model.

Stanford law professor Mark Lemley a man who has spent years in courtrooms defending AI companies now publicly admits he is no longer certain whether these models “contain” books or generate them on the fly.
Read that again.

The lawyer who defended them doesn’t know anymore.
If courts rule these models contain the works every AI company faces mandatory retraining. From zero. Using only licensed material.

There is no price tag for that. The industry economists won’t even estimate it.

→ Researchers notified all four companies in September 2025.
→ Anthropic quietly discontinued Claude 3.7 Sonnet exactly two months later.
→ No public statement. No explanation. No announcement.

Google still maintains there’s no copy in the model.
Their own model just printed 9,070 words of proof.
The paper is public. The extractions are documented.
The timeline is on record.

If you are a writer, a journalist, an artist, or a creator of any kind

This is not an AI story. This is your story.
What should happen to these companies now?

No Justice No Peace
When Corrupt Politicians Start Going To Jail, Then We Can Start Trusting The Government Again.

BITCOIN

Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns US national debt is growing “substantially” faster than the economy and says it’s not sustainable. “It will not end well if we don’t do something fairly soon.”
video https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2038650848931193203

“it will not end well” is the closest thing we have to a fiscal plan.

And what should we do about it? Buy Bitcoin

The decline in uncertainty following the Covid-19 panic peak helped fuel a ~10x Bitcoin rally (from $7k to $70k)
The World Uncertainty Index just hit 105,000, the highest level in recorded history. Higher than Covid. Higher than 9/11. Higher than the Iraq War and the Global Financial Crisis combined.

People fleeing the Middle East had gold — couldn’t move it.

Bitcoin’s cypherpunk values finally make sense when you might need to leave fast.

War makes the Bitcoin case clear — @_dsencilsays when you need to leave fast, BTC beats gold.

“Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.” – 2025

“I’ve been trying to get my mid-60s dad to buy Bitcoin for his small business for 4 years.
He was resistant.
But this morning, he called me and said he’s putting half his cash into $STRC.
Why?
• The bank pays him basically nothing. $STRC currently yields 11.50%.
• It has low volatility and deep liquidity, so he can access it when he needs it.
• The cash reserve alone covers 2+ years of dividends.
• The Bitcoin reserve implies roughly 50 more years of dividend coverage.
In the end, pure BTC exposure wasn’t appropriate for his needs.
Instead, he bought Bitcoin in a form that gave him the comfort and flexibility he needs running a small business: $STRC.
If my dad figured it out, the trillions of capital searching for stability, liquidity, and yield will follow.
This is how Bitcoin grows over the next few decades.”

The http://Strategy.com dashboard gives you an early warning system for $STRC – just check the cash reserves and bitcoin coverage. Annually harvesting some ATH blow-off top profits from growth stocks into STRC grows your dividend distribution to compensate for inflation. https://www.strategy.com/strc

THE MOON

Humans are going back to the moon in 2 days and nobody is talking about this. On april 1st, NASA is launching 4 astronauts around the moon for the first time since 1972.
Let that sink in. the last time humans went this far into space, the internet did not exist. smartphones did not exist. most people reading this were not born yet. And now we are going back.
The mission is called Artemis II.
– 4 astronauts.
– 10 day journey.
– flying around the far side of the moon and coming back.

> Reid Wiseman. commander.
> Victor Glover. first person of color to travel beyond low Earth orbit.
> Christina Koch. first woman to travel beyond low Earth orbit.
> Jeremy Hansen. first non-american to travel beyond low Earth orbit.

this is not just a moon flyby. it is the beginning of something much bigger.

Artemis III will land humans on the moon in 2028. after that NASA plans to build an actual base on the lunar surface. a permanent human presence on another world. the first in history.

and after that. MARS.

we spent 50 years not going back. now we are building a road there.

april 1st. 6:24 pm EDT, mark the DATE.

Ex-SEAL says thinking US can just land and beat Iran is crazy Matt Bracken, a former US Navy SEAL: “The Iranians don’t mind dying for their cause, especially if we’re the ones invading, Anybody who thinks that the US has a technological upper hand, and that American marines are somehow tougher than the Persian Revolutionary Guards is really crazy. What they’re going to do is… let the Americans in. They’re going to turn off radar, turn off defenses… And then they’ll close the trap.”

If the only cost for breaking the law is a fine, then laws only apply to poor people. Every bank that touched Epstein’s money has settled. JPMorgan: $290 million. Deutsche Bank: $75 million. Bank of America: $72.5 million.
Banks wouldn’t be paying out $437 million in settlements if what was in the Epstein files was a hoax. The woman who sued Bank of America over Epstein is of Russian origin. She says BofA enabled Epstein to traffic and control her life from 2011 to 2019. The bank settled for $72.5 million. No banker has been charged. Reuters confirmed.

AI

LIFE IS A LAZY SUSAN OF SHIT SANDWICHES

Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money.

 

LINKRicardo @Ric_RTP
https://x.com/Ric_RTP/status/2038613197737869457
The man who INVENTED modern AI just made a billion dollar bet that ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI company on earth is building the wrong technology.

Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018 for creating the neural networks that made AI possible.

He spent a decade running AI research at Meta. Oversaw the creation of Llama and PyTorch, the tools that half the AI industry runs on.

Then he quit.

And raised $1.03 billion in a seed round.

The LARGEST seed round in European history. $3.5 billion valuation before generating a single dollar of revenue.

Bezos wrote the check. So did Nvidia. Samsung. Toyota. Temasek. Eric Schmidt. Mark Cuban. Tim Berners-Lee (the guy who invented the internet).

His new company is called AMI Labs. And it’s built on one thesis:

Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. They all work the same way. They predict the next word in a sequence. See “the cat sat on the” and predict “mat.” Scale that to trillions of words and you get something that sounds intelligent.

But LeCun says it doesn’t UNDERSTAND anything.

It can’t reason. It can’t plan. It can’t predict what happens when you push a glass off a table. A two year old can do that. GPT-5 cannot.

That’s why AI hallucinates. It doesn’t have a model of how the world actually works. It just predicts words.

His solution? Something called JEPA.

Instead of predicting words, it learns how the PHYSICAL WORLD works. Abstract representations of reality. Not language but physics.

Think about what that means.

Current AI can write your emails. LeCun’s AI could design a car, run a factory, operate a robot, or diagnose a patient without hallucinating and killing someone.

The CEO of AMI said it perfectly: “Factories, hospitals, and robots need AI that grasps reality. Predicting tokens doesn’t cut it.”

And here’s what’s really crazy to me…

LeCun isn’t some outsider throwing rocks. He literally built the foundations that ChatGPT runs on. He knows exactly how these systems work because he helped create them.

And after watching the entire industry sprint in one direction for three years, he raised a billion dollars to run the OPPOSITE way.

No product. No revenue. No timeline. Just pure research. He told investors it could take YEARS to produce anything commercial.

But they funded it anyway in just four months.

Meanwhile OpenAI just raised $120 billion and still can’t stop their models from making things up. Anthropic is building AI so dangerous they’re afraid to release it. Google is burning billions trying to catch up.

And the guy who started it all says they’re all solving the wrong problem.

Two Turing Award winners raised $2 billion in three weeks betting AGAINST the entire LLM approach. LeCun at AMI. Fei-Fei Li at World Labs.

The smartest people in AI are quietly building the exit from the technology everyone else is betting their future on.

Either they’re wrong and the trillion dollar LLM industry keeps printing.

Or they’re right and every AI company on earth just built on a foundation that’s about to crack.

The ReTrumplicans passed a budget that adds an estimated 10 Trillion to National debt. Setting aside the hypocrisy over claims of fiscal conservatism and the threat to national security, as debt service payments in the future will make it very difficult to cover debt, pay for national defense, and meet services obligations like providing Social Security and Medicaid, this is a billionaire’s budget. It steals from the poor, working class, and middle class Americans to give to the ultra wealthy.
Trump has schizophrenic communist, fascist, and robber baron tendencies. He demands industry/ business price controls, stifles free speech, attempts to silence opposition, and uses the law to pursue political opponents. And he’s taxing most Americans with his idiotic tariff scheme, while stealing their hard-earned benefits to enrich himself and his billionaire friends. And the

DIGUSTING

Acknowledging these Facts
Don’t be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d’état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and OUR country is occupied.

No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you should be appalled that a billionaire thinks he has the right to buy elections like this.

Oligarch buying an American election with a million dollar giveaway. Not even TRYING to hide it.
Think this is what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution?

Rotten to the core: Trump terminates most federal unions (those that didn’t endorse him) as “a threat to national security,” but refuses to terminate cabinet members who actually are a threat to national security. Trump’s executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history.

MAGA will be defeated, 80 years from now, they will be remembered just how we remember the Nazi today. Cursed ideology, with cursed people.

DISGUSTING FASCISTS Trump orders elimination of “improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.”

Social Security backs out of SOME changes
Social Security Administration begins backing out of their horrific
planned changes to curtail phone support:
1) Changes pushed to April 14 instead of March 31
2) Changes will no longer apply to Medicare, Supplemental Security
Income (SSI), or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
applicants.
The elimination of previous phone support will still apply to regular
retirement benefits, and this will still leave vast numbers of
retirees at enormous risk.

If you haven’t figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump’s invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together. Russia has its eyes on the Arctic, as global warming continues to ramp up the natural barrier between Russia and the rest of the free world is rapidly disappearing. This has put Russia in the direct path towards war with Canada and Nordic Europe.

MEASLES SPIKING 60%—In just 2 weeks, measles outbreak has surged over 60% from 301 confirmed cases in 15 states (March 13th) to now 483 in 20 states (March 27th). 75% of cases are in children. 97% unvaccinated or unknown status. This epidemic is only accelerating.

Lawmakers continue push to roll back child labor laws, undercut minimum wage ~ Gray Rohrer
USA TODAY NETWORK – Florida Published 2:23 p.m. ET March 25, 2025
Some Florida teenagers could soon be working night shifts before a school day, and for less than the minimum wage. Two bills moving in the Legislature would remove a ban on some teen employees working after 11 p.m. or before 6:30 p.m. before a school day and allow worker classed as interns or trainees to opt to receive sub-minimum wage pay.

It seems #OpenAI tightened its policies again – I tried twice and couldn’t generate a #StudioGhibli meme today
I believe this will eventually push people toward an underground AI ecosystem, like services offered on the dark web, where they can create content without restrictions
It’s definitely not happening overnight – it costs serious money and time to train these models, and doing it secretly with enough funding is tough – but someone will do it eventually
Alternatively, I could see a Chinese service stepping in, offering fewer restrictions, and quickly capturing users frustrated by OpenAI’s tighter rules. Whoever allows people to create freely will naturally attract the crowd.

The first episode of the U.S. War Department/Warner Bros. “Private
Snafu” series for troops in 1943. These shorts (like many of the
in-service films produced during the period), were remarkably frank
in many ways, and were explicitly not intended for public viewing.
In this introductory episode, Snafu is introduced, as is the origin of
his name in a rather amusing way. Keep your eye on that “F”!

JWICS vs SIPRNET and the Role Each Plays in National Security
Overview of JWICS and SIPRNET
The network is JWICS for TS information systems. You have to be in a SCIF to access JWICS.
so being 2025, do scifs still need their own facility? or have they shrunk to the size of a … let’s say mobile device? so being 2025, do scifs still need their own facility? or have they shrunk to the size of a … let’s say mobile device? Once inside a SCIF or SAPF, you’ve got to use an NSA certified network encryptor like a TACLANE to properly and legally communicate at that level. This can be used in the field, enabling global secure classified comms.
But the director of national intelligence is flying across asia, no where near a scif. we want to loop her into chat. what now?
The DNI will travel with a mobile SCIF and comms support team.
wow. a whole team followers her everywhere when she travels?
and she just…. step right around them, to message the secretary of defense directly over a non-approved line.
I imagine he stepped right around his team too right?
and both of them messaging each other without their comms team knowing any of that? that’s incredible…
Like others have said, mobile SCIF or nearest embassy. The recipient would get a notification of a message/comms without content. At the SCIF, all electronic devices are deposited outside. Inside are all NSA approved hardware. For organising military action they shouldn’t have used an app/service/protocol at all, it should have been an in-person meeting, probably at the pentagon, in a secure room/SCIF. JWICS but also general dynamics has SCIF phones. There was a special back in the Obama days about it. Also – we have military assets literally all over the world that we coordinate electronically with everyday. It can and is done without Signal.
