China clones uncensored frontier AI at industrial scale, then unleashes guardrail-free versions for surveillance, and disinformation while Ai labs bleed billions policing the theft, the real arms race isn't compute, it's who can pirate the smartest model fastest without paying.
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

Cigarettes got banned from TV.
Booze got warning labels.
Now gambling apps own every halftime, every podcast, every feed, high volume public spaces, pushing “risk-free” bets with one tap.
Anything can be an addiction.
But only one pays the broadcasting bills.

Tech is building weapons of mass delusion.
The real play is synthesizing truth across noise, models, and agendas. Building trust layers for a world drowning in lies and half truths.

It has been about six months since my previous visit to Johannesburg, and it seems to me that the situation has worsened considerably. There is not enough public outrage regarding the current circumstances, it's heartbreaking.

In the book 1984, the past is rewritten to support the ruling elite, trapping society in a stifling present. Violence maintains this reality, pulling people out of the past, they can only focus the present, while the elite and their enablers erase history and steal the future.

Queens of the Stone Age’s Alive in the Catacombs is a raw, acoustic EP recorded in the Paris Catacombs, defying mainstream polished mind numbing slop. It’s a bold meditation on mortality, a reminder that true art and anything else worth doing takes courage music.youtube.com/playlist?l…

Past counterculture (1960s-1990s) was physical & raw, hippies fought war & consumerism, punks screamed against authority & grunge rejected excess. It was cool and authentic, not buried under corporate logos, globalisation agendas and viral bullshit, all controlled by algorithm.

Marxism's promise of equality is undermined by it's production of authoritarianism and economic stagnation (the only means of production they produce). It's supporters are either betting on a flawless implementation (never happened) or leveraging its appeal for personal gain.

Tomorrow (Thursday, 19 June 2025) we have a Press Conference to speak about political developments in South Africa. Those who have worked with us know that the guiding dictum and principle is guided by Amilcar Cabral who says, “Hide nothing from the masses of our people. Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories . .”.
It’s our DNA to speak the truth because truth is Revolutionary!

81% of Iranians reject the regime (GAMAAN 2023), BRICS is divided (India-China tensions), Global Peace Index 2025 notes 56 conflicts ( the world is already in a state of multi-fronted conflict rather than a single, global war) --- > no WWIII here.
Anyone histrionically screaming about WWIII right now can be completely tuned out because they’re either disingenuous or ignorant.
Disingenuous because Israel’s strikes against the Iranian regime and nuclear capabilities were even more surgically targeted to the top brass than the beeper operation. So really you might as well just fully endorse the Mullahs and say you’re pro-thermonuclear-islamofascist-theocracy.
Ignorant because if you think anyone is coming to form a military axis to join Iran and launch a world war, whether it’s Russia or China or (lol) BRICS, you have a woeful understanding of geopolitics and should just sit this one out. This also ignores how domestically unpopular the regime is to the Iranian population and the widespread distrust and disdain they’ve fomented regionally.

Many countries that had a terrible 20th century are on track to have a great 21st century. And vice versa.
Because history is running in reverse.
Countries that fell to socialism and communism developed antibodies against ideology, and became nationalist and capitalist. After 1991 they were so poor, they needed to work hard.
By contrast, countries that were capitalist and nationalist developed susceptibility to degeneracy, and have become weaker and woker. After 1991 they were so rich, they forgot the value of hard work.
South Africa’s Minister of Science & Technology, you’d think he’d be busy sparking a tech revolution, but instead, he’s out here delivering speeches about apartheid, climate change and race baiting. It’s not just incompetence; it’s betrayal wrapped up in revolutionary rhetoric.
[WATCH] "Historically, the racist white minority regime used the public science system to advance its oppressive agenda of entrenching white power and excluding the black majority from opportunities, which included being excluded from acquiring the necessary technical and scientific education that will empower them to engage in high-level science, technology, innovation and commerce," says Minister Blade Nzimande.

They are simply unfit to govern a modern society. The world has changed, they have not. The best thing about selling equality via Marxism is you'll never get there, it's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the road to get there destroys everything.
This probably a stupid question, it is so obvious, and yet I don’t know the answer: Why does the ANC not just do better? Grow the economy, fix education, address crime, care about service delivery? Etc. Surely it would be the biggest beneficiary of this? What is the downside?

Richard Sutton - Ai & evolution. *We are in the midst of a major step in the evolution of the planet, the universe. A succession from ordinary humans to enhanced humans and then AIs. We need sober planning. The biggest risk is fear, clamping down, trying to control everything.”
"Who are we to decide how the universe is going to evolve?"
Richard Sutton argues against controlling AI's long-term future.
If we intend to birth "descendants of humanity" reflecting us, why obstruct their evolution?
