The Rogue AI Psy-Op Part 3 – do you see where this is going yet? A few days ago, I wrote an article highlighting the bizarre story of OpenAI AND Anthropic AND Meta all suddenly claiming to have “rogue AI agents” escape their “containment” and try to hack other companies in the space of a week or two. Two days after that I pennedthe sequel, noting the even more extreme “scary AI” stories – from mind-reading computers to bio-engineered viruses – that were manifesting all over the media landscape, and the massive surge in “regulate AI” hot takes. Consider this the final part of the “Rogue AI” trilogy. If you’re…... Read full article ... https://off-guardian.org/2026/08/11/the-rogue-ai-psy-op-part-3-do-you-see-where-this-is-going-yet/

https://archive.is/qlCx0 "A new, minority chain created when BIP-110 supporters split from Bitcoin on Saturday has produced just two blocks roughly eight hours after going live, with no sign that any miner intends to keep it moving. Around 6 a.m. UTC, it sat at block 961,633 while the main bitcoin chain had reached block 961,681, per the BIP-110 situation monitor. The fork happened at 961,632, when computers running BIP-110 software began rejecting any block that did not signal support for the proposal. A block is a batch of transactions added to bitcoin's ledger roughly every ten minutes, so the gap of 48 represents most of a day's worth of activity on one side and almost none on the other. BIP-110, short for Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110, is a move to stop people storing pictures, text and other non-financial data inside bitcoin transactions for a year. Supporters say the practice can clog the network with material that has nothing to do with payments and pushes up costs for people actually sending money. Opponents argue that anyone paying the transaction fee has bought the right to use the space however they like, and that miners and node operators should not be deciding which transactions count as legitimate. Bitcoin mining firm AntPool mined the first non-signaling block, which the rest of the network accepted and BIP-110 nodes rejected, and a miner using Ocean produced the alternative that the breakaway chain followed instead. (A miner is an entity that uses massive computing resources to maintain bitcoin and process its transactions, earning newly issued bitcoin and fees for the work.) AntPool and Ocean are mining pools, where many operators combine their machines and share the rewards. The stall has a mechanical cause that is hard to escape. Bitcoin recalculates how difficult mining is every 2,016 blocks, aiming to keep blocks arriving roughly every ten minutes. The breakaway chain inherited bitcoin's current setting but has a tiny share of the machines, so its blocks arrive at long intervals. It cannot make mining easier until it completes 2,016 blocks at that pace. The monitor puts that at 350 days away, against 14 days for bitcoin."

https://archive.is/oXEy0 "USA Today Co. has made a deal with software company Palantir to analyze and monetize user behavior, the company announced on Thursday. In its Q2 earnings call Thursday morning, USA Today Co. chairman and CEO Mike Reed told investors he expects the partnership to “strengthen how we collect, connect and activate audience data to drive more effective and faster monetization across our platform.” “Every visit, every session, and every moment of attention creates a signal,” Reed said. “When we connect those signals, they become actionable intelligence that allows us to engage users more effectively and monetize those relationships faster and at much greater value. The work our team is doing with Palantir is a direct extension of this strategy. We are applying Palantir’s AI-powered platform to one of the largest opportunities in front of us, converting the sheer scale of our audience into known, orchestrated first-party relationships, because that is what turns our reach into sustainable, higher value revenue.” "

Kameraene er satt opp på værutsatte steder, fergeleier, fjelloverganger og steder med mye trafikk. Hensikten er at kameraene skal gi trafikanter innsyn i veibildet før de setter seg bak rattet. Enkelte av dem gir imidlertid innblikk i atskillig mer enn bare veiforholdene."

"Raytheon sponsors the Girl Scouts of America. BAE Systems is reading your toddlers their favorite fairytale stories. And Lockheed Martin funds children’s math and STEM festivals. This is done with great fanfare, supposedly to empower and inspire children to pursue their passion for science. In reality, though, these companies are attempting to launder their images and enlist the next generation to become cogs in the military-industrial complex. All the while, these organizations’ products are being used across the world by the United States and Israel to commit war crimes – in Iran, Yemen, Palestine, and beyond – to target children. MintPress explores the murky world of the arms companies training kids to bomb kids." https://www.mintpressnews.com/how-lockheed-martin-raytheon-bae-systems-are-propagandizing-children-to-support-war-through-stem/291074/

Another brilliant book review from Paul Cudenec: In July, I mentioned in passing that the legendary counter-cultural artist Robert Crumb, now nearly 83 years old, had spoken out about possible industrial manipulation behind the Covid debacle. Like all good Covid sceptics, he has done his own research. For instance, he cites an article from The New York Times in January 2018 warning of the threat of a global flu pandemic and calling for huge amounts of money to be invested in vaccine research. Early in the book, we see Crumb facing the righteous wrath of a doctor friend in the USA, telling him that Covid was not a political issue on which it was possible to express a personal opinion, but a scientific one, in which his duty was to trust the experts. This conversation keeps him awake half the night, tossing and turning, and he finds himself wondering whether he will be targeted in some way for challenging the official narrative. https://winteroak.org.uk/2026/08/07/paranoia-or-perceptivity/

From “Designed Viruses” to “Digital Telepathy” – AI Panic Kicks into Overdrive Two days ago, I wrote an article detailing the sudden rash of “rogue AI agents” allegedly besetting the tech community, and how that may be used to bring in new regulations, notionally targeting AI, but actually limiting or monitoring how ordinary people use the internet. In the 48 hours since, that blatant fear-mongering has gone WILD. Within a few hours of our original article being published, Meta joined the parade of “rogue AIs”, when Mark Zuckerberg “confirmed”one of their AI agents had left the play area and gone toddling off into the internet to do…...
