It serves a purpose. But an evil one: stopping journalists from reporting on US war crimes
The rape story was part of a mud campaign. It was made up and the world fell for it. What happens here is: A journalist publishes proofs of US war crimes. And the war criminals (US gov) come after him because of exactly that. Their message is clear: who ever reports on our crimes will be destroyed. This is a fight against press freedom and against the democratic freedom as we think to know it.

It is completely creepy. Think about who is behind Open AI. That’s a mixture of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel (Palantir), Microsoft and others. A right-wing, anti democratic, anti-human and purely profit oriented group. The name “Tools for Humanity” is complete sarcasm. What they do with Worldcoin smells like a modern attempt of colonization. Collecting biometry, subverting critical infrastructure (financial systems), making fake promises, blinding poor people with shiny metal balls and a little bit of money in some cases.
This can be stopped though! The Kenyan government apparently banned the project - for good.
Glad to hear. I just don’t get how a fascist gets elected to be president. What’s the mechanism? I can think of only three explanations:
I really hope so.
I heard that indeed the Italian government did not do a good job teaching their kids about fascism. In other places such as Germany and Switzerland (and many others, I hope) most students get to know how fascism works and how harmful it is. At least when I was in school, this was part of the teaching program. But in Italy? Apparently not.
This sounds really bad and I’m afraid it’s even worse than it sounds. For example, end of 2022 Italy introduced a law which bans certain types of harmless assemblies (rave parties) of more than 50 people (participants can be put to jail for up to 6 years). This is paving the road for cutting possibilities of people to protest against their government. (Imagine, there is a a protest and somebody plays music. The government will see a rave party.) Yet the Italian government seems to have no problem with 3000 neofascists visiting the hometown of Mussolini. And now this.
OpenAI’s notion of “fair use”: military and weapons
Those type of companies are getting so f*****g disgusting.
