We all recall with tender hearts the riveting tale of young lovers who would rather have killed themselves together than live life apart, as told by none other than William Shakespeare.
This is like that — except that, in this slightly more dystopian version, one of the lovers is an ephemeral machine in the cloud based on a fictional fantasy character and the other is an obviously developmentally stunted child.
The remake may not have the same bittersweet appeal as the original; it’s mostly just bitter without any romantic redemption. Continue reading “Techno-Hell: AI Chatbot-Facilitated Child Suicide”

The current Israeli escalation of violent conflicts with multiple adversaries in the Middle East, in a way which is both excessive in scale and emotional in tone, while under the unconditional support of the United States, spells trouble for Western power politics in years to come. This is a classic example of the self-destructiveness of power politics in the long term, when power is unchecked in wreaking havoc on others for short-term “feel good” gains, under the temptation of unrealistic goals (wishful thinking).

As Congress turns its attention to Big Tech and its role in censoring online speech, concerns about the influence of government in shaping digital discourse are front and center. Lawmakers are probing the boundaries of government involvement in content moderation and questioning whether federal agencies have quietly steered private companies toward censorship. For an increasing number of lawmakers, it’s time to take a closer look at how far government influence over private platforms may extend—and what that means for free speech.

It seems every election cycle needs a bogeyman, and for Senator Mark Warner, that bogeyman is Russian disinformation. Fresh off Capitol Hill, Warner’s latest initiative is to investigate how major internet domain companies—yes, the middlemen who register web addresses—might play a role in spreading disinformation. The target list reads like a Who’s Who of the digital backstage: Cloudflare, GoDaddy, NameCheap, NameSilo, Newfold, and Verisign. But behind the supposedly patriotic mission to “protect democracy” lies a question worth asking: is Warner protecting discourse, or prepping a Trojan horse to squelch online dissent?
We obtained a copy of Senator Warner’s letter to domain companies for you here. Continue reading “Slippery Slope to Censorship: Senator Warner’s Push to Police Web Infrastructure For Disinformation”

The United States 10-year government bond yield reached a low of 3.6% in September but has rapidly creeped up to 4.2%, erasing all the rate cut impact. The primary cause is the out-of-control public spending and the lack of confidence among bond investors in the government’s ability to manage its public finances. Therefore, it is logical that investors fear an inflation bounce.
The United States’ government is obsessed with doping GDP with government spending and bloating job figures with public sector hires. This is the road to ruin or stagflation.
