AI
Who owns the data?
Legally Mercor, probably. You clicked “agree.”
Morally will be youself obviously.
Practically whoever Lapsus$ sold it to.
This is why “we own your data” buried in a ToS isn’t a trust model. It’s a liability transfer.
The Mercor breach isn’t just a data leak. It’s a trust architecture failure.
You handed your face, voice, ID, and now your lab’s training data to a third-party platform — because the UX was smooth and the pitch was compelling.
Every AI product that monetizes data collection is a liability waiting to happen. The next wave has to be built on explicit consent and minimal data retention.This is the design problem of our generation.
Every AI company’s proprietary training data leaked in one week and the “moat” was supposed to be… a terms of service?
The tech industry’s security model is a “please don’t” sign on a glass door. First the Claude Code leak and now this. In the same week. “AI safety” by way of “we’ll lock it up” is just totally dead. Kaput. Pushing up daisies. Wow. Incredible amount of SOTA training data now just available to China thanks to @mercor_ai leak. Every major lab. Billions and billions of value and a major national security issue. Poisoned PyPI package in LiteLLM is how they got in. Billion-dollar training pipelines running through deps nobody’s auditing. Now China has a significant advantage in developing AI for languages other than English. This leak may also accelerate AI research in non-English speaking countries that previously lacked access to such large datasets.
TRUMP
> Iran isn’t just controlling the Strait of Hormuz—it’s rewriting the rules.
Tolls & oil transit now demanded in yuan, not dollars. Europe squeezed by spiking energy prices (oil +50-60%, gas exploding).
Every tanker paying in RMB is a nail in the petrodollar coffin.
De-dollarization just got a Hormuz-sized accelerator.
The multipolar shift isn’t coming—it’s here. 💥 #Petrodollar #DollarCollapse #Iran
> NEW: Trump reaches negative net approval with working class white voters for first time ever. -CNN
What about all those white college educated Master’s degres /law degree holders who also voted for Trump? What about them?
> Today I learned the paper towels at the gas pump are there so you can wipe your tears after you see how much you’ve paid.
> Trump: “When we go in church and I drink my little wine….and have my little cracker, I guess that’s a form of asking for forgiveness.” This fucking idiot expects us to believe he goes to church.
> James Carville to Donald Trump: “You sit down and you listen to me you fat fuck. I watched that word mash you had night before last. Don’t go throw the fucking number on me before the election because I want you very very aware on election night when people tell you what the fuck they think of you. They hate you. Everybody hates you.”
> Trump’s 2027 budget proposal fully eliminates the Food for Peace program.
This program provides $2 billion in support for the U.S. farm economy each year.
> Trump is polling 10 points worse than Nixon right before he resigned. The man who said ‘we’ll get tired of winning’ is now losing worse than a president who quit in disgrace. The American public has abandoned him. The war for Israel destroyed him.
> Trump signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern U.S. elections. He tried a year ago; the Brennan Center sued him, and they won. They expect the same result this time. 23 states sue President Trump over new executive order targeting mail voting.
> Brian Cox says “they don’t like women” in America and “the patriarchy is a f*cking mess.”

“They won’t let a woman be president, not in the foreseeable future. Look what happened to Hillary Clinton. The patriarchy is so invasive and so insidious, it’s hard to throw it off. I think the patriarchy is a fucking mess, and it’s the patriarchy that got us into the position that we’re in at the moment, and we don’t learn the lessons. I say, give it over to the women.” (via The Times of London)
Why Are State Departments of Early Childhood Education So Trendy Right Now?
More states are establishing standalone early care and education departments, creating changes that policy experts say are both symbolic and actual.
THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING ON AMERICAN FAMILIES. IN MONTHS, NOT YEARS.
Step 1 Trump promises to cut the debt. Debt doubles from $19T to $39T.
Step 2 Trump launches Iran war February 28, 2026. No exit strategy. No victory.
Step 3 Iran closes Strait of Hormuz. Oil shocks from $70 to $100+/barrel. Gas hits $4+.
Step 4 Everything runs on oil. Groceries up. Rent up. Shipping up. ALL of it up.
Step 5 Trump signs “One Big Beautiful Bill” cutting SNAP by $187,000,000,000. 22 million households lose food help. 3.3 million already off the rolls.
Step 6 Trump unveils $1,500,000,000,000 defense budget April 3, 2026. Largest increase since WW2.
Step 7 CRFB calculates: this adds $6,900,000,000,000 to national debt over 10 years. National debt now on path past $46,000,000,000,000.
Step 8 Higher debt = higher interest rates. Higher rates = your mortgage, your car loan, your credit card — all more expensive.
Step 9 Iran war drags on. Oil stays high. Every extra month = another $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 spent. Americans keep paying $3/day each for a war they didn’t vote for.
Step 10 Midterm elections 2026. Defense contractors cash out. Politicians who voted for the budget get funded. The loop continues.
Step 11 Schools remain underfunded. Healthcare remains gutted. Infrastructure stays crumbling. Because $1,500,000,000,000 went somewhere else.
Step 12 The bill comes due. The debt comes due. And the people who cashed out won’t be the ones paying it.
Steps 1-5 already happened.
Steps 6-7 are happening TODAY.
Steps 8-12 are locked in.
They’re showing you “historic defense investment.”
They’re NOT showing you that every dollar for missiles is a dollar NOT for your kid’s school, your parent’s medication, or your grocery bill.
If “America First” means anything, why are Americans finishing last?
Complete silence.
This is not a defense budget. This is a generational theft.
