No Kochsucking in the War Room

 No Buttface posturing and no Karping

⚡️👀 ICYMI - Palantir sells governments a war room that costs millions a year.

So, a guy named Elie just rebuilt it, put it on GitHub, and gave it away.

It's called World Monitor.

Open it and you get a live 3D globe with 500+ news feeds pouring in across 15 categories, all summarized by AI as they land.

- Military movements.

- Economic shocks.

- Natural disasters.

- Cyber incidents.

- Flight paths.

- Shipping lanes.

+ 56 different map layers you can stack on top of each other.

It scores 31 countries on a stress index and updates the number as things happen.

It watches 29 stock exchanges, commodities, and crypto in one panel.

It runs local AI through Ollama, so you can use the whole thing without a single API key.

Native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. 25 languages. Works out of the box after one clone. https://24242.io/1fc3c8aa6bd0fd0706540e9a7e22fa984c5413b6d49d92a3c4a09d5d4107e6a7.mp4

Hugging Face Hacked by AI Agent: U.S. Large Model Refuses to Assist, Chinese Large Model Successfully Collects Evidence

Hugging Face Hacked by AI Agent: U.S. Large Model Refuses to Assist, Chinese Large Model Successfully Collects Evidence | PANews English

Die, Anthropic. Die

Three reasons to be anarcho-capitalist

 1) It means your revolutionary anarchist priority is God and the State.  Religion and Govt first. 

2) It actively distances you from the worst fascism of the last 108 years, and ...

3) That other thing

FUCK YOUR WORKING-CLASS

Consider anarcho-capitalism

 If only to drive pro-Marxist-economist types clinically insane

To Anonymous, who asks, "Is posing as "anarchist" enough to being considered as such, even when it's from a bunch of Neonazi militias?"
There are a great many types of anarchist, who have all sorts of sincere disagreements on various topics. When disagreeing with them, I try to focus on the topic and to argue that they are wrong on that topic. This is better than saying, You're not a real anarchist--only I know who is a real anarchist! (But note that the earlier Commenter on this thread does not think that I understand anarchism! What if they are right!)

However I draw the line on two types: (1) "anarcho-capitalists" (by whom I do not mean anarchists who advocate markets but regard themselves as anti-capitalist).

Smert Nazbol Spion

 After various commands and staff positions he taught tactics at the Belgrade Military Academy. Around 1906 Dimitrijević visited Russia and Germany, where he learned the language and studied the latest military programs. In 1911 he helped founding Ujedinjenje ili Smrt (Unification or Death), commonly known as the Black Hand, a conspiratorial network supporting the formation of a Greater Serbia state. Dimitrijević, who used the code name Apis, became the leader of the Black Hand

PELICAN REVOLUTION? -  never happened

I Am From Bosnia, Take Me to America - NotCompeting

Another false flag for the BLACK HAND!

• Many Serbs complained about the post-2022 influx of Russians. Locals will apparently refuse to speak Russian (despite having learned it in school) and swap to English instead, so I ended up helping Russian tourists(?) use a ticket machine despite being the single-worst equipped person in the station to do so.

• A Turkish head bartender bragged that he’s been here for 3 years, will get PR soon (along with his Russian wife), and hasn’t bothered to learn Serbian because English works perfectly.

Open standards computer security moving forward

 Cryptoanarchy, for short.  A brave new next-level world order guaranteed secure for all by ever increasing quantum key exchange.  No more Nork and Russki sneak thieves in the night.

No more Maginot Lines in free netspace. The new promised land after previous discoveries of a practically unlimited realm for imagination and universal expansion. A practically unlimited network space.  Talk of command and control in these realms is risible.

And talk of direct cybernetics may also indicate criminal insanity.  Nobody micromanages large chaotic systems.  We have yet to even seriously begin modelling them. Bigger and better prediction marts can let us nudge the world rudder for now. Then the present AGI will jump to ASI at full warp.  Superranuated humanity may retire to the Matrix.

There's no place like home.

Darline, we traced the call

 ITS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Hugging Face’s defenders turned instead to the open-source GLM 5.2 model from China’s Z.ai lab – running it on their own infrastructure to analyse the 17,000+ logs, or footprints, that the attackers left behind.

That’s a striking public admission for the New York-headquartered Hugging Face, which lets users collaborate on models, datasets and applications, and which this summer hit the $100 million ARR mark. In an incident report, the company recommended that defenders “have a capable model you can run on your own infrastructure [our italics] vetted and ready before an incident, both to avoid guardrail lockout and to keep attacker data and credentials from leaving your environment.”

It’s difficult to overstate how wrong-headed the Trump administration’s panicked response to Anthropic’s release of Fable was, particularly since it exacerbated Anthropic’s worst tendencies in terms of assuming only they can be trusted with powerful AI. In a world with only one AI, it might make sense to reserve the most powerful cybersecurity capabilities for the U.S. government and trusted allies; however, that’s not the world we live in.. . ."
