This is a wonderfully thorough write up on the quest for digital ID with all the reasons nobody wants it. And right away you can see the coordination worldwide and with the hodgepodge of state efforts in the US where…
Why is Google working on this? It makes you wonder after they removed the mission statement “Don’t be evil.” And the tie in with AI is over the top. Google claims that artificial intelligence and robotic systems would be used…
This is a good write up on the stupid practice of using ethanol in fuel. I wish I had a local Buc-ee’s, as when we go there in Colorado for a brisket sandwich, I fill the tank up with ethanol…
As Peter Thiel is behind Palantir which is being integrated into governments around the world for the inbound Panopticon, this moving to Argentina and enrolling his kids in school is very interesting. Given he’s a sodomite, you can’t help but…

And we’re looking at things to get a lot worse with inflation, money printing… And possibly something along the lines of the Great Depression as there might be a global monetary reset nations have been stacking gold for. By…
We could see this coming, and it’s wonderful to see. I’m with the Zig programming language in banning even the discussion of LLMs, and pointing out the errors they’re famous for, downplayed as ‘hallucinations’.
I’ve encountered problems with some crypto Android wallets because they use vibe coding consistently adding bugs. This could come down to the coders ability to review the AI code, which I believe even if skilled enough, are they doing a…
