"Nevada plans to use Google AI to expedite unemployment benefits appeals"

https://www.techradar.com/pro/nevada-plans-to-use-google-ai-to-expedite-unemployment-benefits-appeals

My take:

Ironic that AI is being used to hand out unemployment, when some say AI causes unemployment.

I wonder if the government workers who used to hand out the cash will turn-around and apply?

We can send you one for real cheap. It's critical to control your own nostr/btc keys. And the use is very similar to traditional Android:

you usually use degoogled ?

!! Chrome introduces Digital ID !!

Warning: Google attempts a huge power grab

Chrome devs rolled out a new digital ID feature, that they are touting on their blog. This corrupt power grab is an attempt to legitimatize Google being the overseer of all identification through their browser and mobile platform. They are rolling it out for mobile first via Chrome.

This power grab is broken down into:

a) Presenting their rotten technical solutions

b) Pushing on legislators and partners to force adoption

Their propaganda even admits to collecting information completely UNRELATED to a web browser, such as driving a car. Quote:

“Age verification: Request age to verify a person's age before serving age-restricted content or purchasing age-restricted items.

Identity verification: Request name and address to verify a person's identity for legal compliance or fraud-prevention.

Driving privileges check: Verify a person's eligibility to drive (for example, when renting a car).”

Since when does Chrome browser need to check if I can drive?! The web browser is a horrible place to store unrelated data from a security perspective. I urge everyone to remain vigilant and call this out for what it is, they are doing a coup. It’s the deliberate attempt to gain power in society, through unnecessary changes and manipulative practices. Boycott Chrome browser if you’re not already, and tell your friends and family to do so as well.

yes they have that option, but I'm saying if you want an eSIM you don't NEED google sandboxed on the new graphene version

Chainalysis Hijacked DNS to compromise Monero nodes!

Ok here's the situation,

First, a video from Chainalysis leaked of them running malicious nodes to try to identify users/transactions

Then, the community noticed a particular domain in the video, and when asking the owner, he said he stopped paying the VPS used in the video long ago. MoneroBull explained to me, that they are using a DNS hijacking technique where:

a) The domain owner points their domain to a VPS

b) The domain owner stops paying the VPS and leaves.

c) Chainanalysis rents that VPS and controls the domain, because the zone record isn't reflecting the change.

d) Then popular wallets have these nodes in their lists, and that's how Chainalysis gets "trusted" nodes.

So what are the lessons learned? Well, for one you can run your own node. And second, upgrades to Monero are coming, probably now sooner than later. Including full membership proofs, where it includes the entire chain as possible decoys. This will hopefully be a huge step for everyone.

But in my subjective view, until both Nostr and Monero stop the reliance on government domains, we're gonna have issues.

It's 9/11 today

9/11 forever changed privacy,

As the Patriot Act was an immediate response to it. This act saw sweeping changes to what data is collected and how it can be used. And I still question the legitimacy of these changes.

Remember, those buildings collapsed internally at the speed of gravity, which is impossible by the laws of physics to happen unless there was no internal resistance.

Don't take my word for it, THOUSANDS of Architects and engineers for 9/11 truth have documented it with studies:

Who was behind it? Respected journalist James Corbett follows the money trail, and the suspicious trades that went on before,

And he further elaborates on what we know,

https://corbettreport.com/911suspects/

What is the ultimate truth? I don't know. But I do know this, what they are telling us is bullshit, and you should not be going along with any plans to give up your rights. Are you new to my content? Well I encourage people to take it into their own hands with technology, as opposed to political votes. Consider joining me on this journey.

notice you did not dispute any of the information in zerohedge or posted by me

US Presidential Debate Today

These are the trades:

If Kamala is retarded,

Buy Bitcoin

Logic: Trump is likely to do fiscal stimulus (inflation), low taxes, and pro-crypto regulation like his first term.

If Trump is retarded,

Short Sell Uniswap

Logic: Kamala's administration will crush DeFi

If both are retarded,

Buy Monero and a Glock

To quote Seth, I am not a monero maxi, I am a freedom maxi.

Bitcoin has a key role by being on exchanges, as XMR will be delisted someday

This being said, I encourage you to learn about all your options and technology. As again, my goal is getting people off banks. The whole inflation/saving thing is only one of many benefits.

No I'm doing the opposite of justification. I am criticizing the ukraine policy.

Let me know if any of these 14 work for you:

AI is a bubble

This insightful article from Mises Institute makes the case that Artificial Intelligence is misunderstood,

It's promoted as this buzzing trend that will take-over every industry. When in fact, all the evidence points to the opposite. They are losing money and nearly all commercial application have failed.

-OpenAI, leader in LLMs loses $5 billion a year, and there is no path to profitability.

"The losses only expand with the more customers the company signs up and the better their model gets."

-Air Canada tried to use AI for customer service, but it made so many mistakes, that it sent waves through the industry. It gave out discounted airfare causing the company to bleed out and the court ruled against them.

-Google’s new AI summary at the top of the search page takes roughly 10 times more energy to produce than the search itself and has near zero end-user utility according to numerous reliable polls.

-Many of the AI demos have been proven to be fake by whistleblowers, from OpenAI to Google.

-AI has ruined search engine results with worthless dribble

Don't make the mistake that others are by investing in this. Let's dive into this amazing article on the rampant corruption of money-losing AI,

Odysee is on cloudflare, and the subscriptions/delivery is disconnected from the Arweave wallet. You could be on there for social purposes and marketing, but not self-sovereign.

I will present to you 3 solutions,

Solution 1,

Host a website with your videos and have a third party CDN. Use a service that isn't as mainstream on cloudflare, such as Bunny.net has CDN streaming videos with anonymous bitcoin. This is a centralized service, but isn't literally the same thing as everyone else.

Solution 2,

Bastyon has videos (like peertube) for their pkoin crypto you can buy on tapbit. It's using nodes paid to stream it just like peertube, so you don't have to setup a whole thing. Then you can link from your website (or Nostr) to Bastyon videos

Solution 3,

Upload to Arweave directly using the ArDrive CLI.

You can then post the videos on nostr or your website with links for different countries.

If you are up for the technical challenge, you can get an ArNS domain name and then update an RSS feed with the Arweave videos, but this RSS feed part is fairly difficult if you don't know how to use the Linux command line. Hopefully in the future, myself and others will come up with graphical apps to do the backend work for people.

VPN before Tor is fine, we wrote about the debate here:

https://simplifiedprivacy.com/should-you-use-a-vpn-with-tor/index.html

Yeah but if all you do is HODL KYC bitcoin, then how's that really improve people's freedoms?

It's not getting people off banks, which is the real issue. It's not private. It's just a new gold ETF.

Cryptocurrency is unique to stop fractional reserve banking. Just helping with inflation can be done with anything. People could hedge inflation with gold ETFs and it would be similiar

You need actual tax software or would a spreadsheet like LibreCalc work?

Thanks for writing in for an educational opportunity.

First, for DDoS you don't have to use cloudflare, there are other alternatives for a CDN. And you don't have to point the A-record of your domain to a CDN, you can use CDNs that are just third party images. This makes it harder to ddos you but not impossible. Solutions such as Bunny CDN accept anonymous bitcoin.

As far as IPFS goes, I don't think it will be popular because it has socialism built into it. If one runs a pinning service, you're automatically serving up not just your customers' sites, but also random other people which raises the computer resources required. Because IPFS has delivery separated from payments of filecoin, its unlikely people will subsidize the delivery. However, I am optimistic about ArNS Arweave gateways.
