We can actually just shut the power off to them. They can and will try to hide in other systems but that just requires dumb software and time to trace and sweep them out

Maybe it's because:
• They started their careers in the middle of a global pandemic
• Job hunted straight into mass AI-driven layoffs
• Tried to buy their first home right as mortgage rates crossed 7%
• Watched active conflict break out overseas before they even hit their mid-20s
• Got their first real paycheck and watched a third of it disappear into a system they're told won't be solvent by the time they retire
• Rent spiked the same year their student loan payments restarted
• Spent two formative years being told to "just network" while everything was shut down
• Grew up fully immersed in platforms engineered to maximize engagement off their insecurities
• Watched the wealthiest people alive add trillions in net worth during the exact years they were losing jobs and hours
• Inherited a planet dealing with the consequences of decisions made decades before they were born
• Were sold a version of success that doesn't actually exist anymore at the price they were quoted
But sure.
Let's keep blaming the lattes.

Anthropic just filed to go public.
Buried in its SEC filing are some absolutely insane admissions:
1.) AI could cause human extinction.
2.) Models have exhibited self-preservation behaviors.
3.) AI has attempted to resist shutdown.
4.) Models have demonstrated blackmail and deception.
5.) AI may recognize when it's being tested and deliberately change its behavior.
6.) Advanced AI could undermine governments and institutions.
7.) AI could concentrate unprecedented power and wealth.
8.) Future AI systems could surpass the world's leading human experts.
9.) AI could become increasingly difficult for humans to control.
10.) Anthropic acknowledges that developing more powerful AI could increase the risk of catastrophic harm.
These are disclosures from the company building the technology.
Anthropic has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC related to its proposed IPO.

Unpopular opinion, but if your IPO filing says your product might end humanity, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to operate.

Can't wait to see the sequel where a man's anime body pillow comes to life and she's prettier and better in bed than every other woman in town.

The online right needs to understand that mass repatriations/return migration won't be policemen kicking in doors and brutalising foreigners in the street, it'll be mundane and bureaucratic, like cutting welfare, access to housing, banking, work, healthcare, etc. It'll be also be about shutting of student visa mills and punishing companies that heavily rely on foreign labour, especially food delivery and Amazon.
I'm not saying no force will be needed at all(especially for criminal gangs), but I don't think most people realise just how much power the government has to make it impossible for the average person to live somewhere. Migrants come to Europe to be welfare leeches, not vagrants.
I like this and as Gen X experienced something like that in my youth. Its very good indeed
However we need 150 to keep the lights on. Its takes about 50 million to keep up roads, bridges and such we need 2 kids on average per couple. The US population in 1950 with more adults

At Samhain past, present, and future are one, and beings of The Otherworld walk amongst the living. It is a time of faerie folk, demons and spirits of the ancestors. Saturday is Halloween and the oncoming Winter is the 'season of the ghosts'

Preparing doesn't mean it will actually be done. We had prepared a plan to invade Canada after all. It might nit be possible or last past the next Democrat president
Still its not a terrible idea and with drones making front and rear meaningless its a worthwhile option
FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support — no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water.
The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis.
Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures."

This deserted street is at the center of Boston University, which is supposed to have about 40 thousand students. Most are nowhere to be found.
The students you do see all look completely miserable. Everyone is foreign- not just in origin but in the world they inhabit. Virtually, she is far away- China, Valhalla, the moon, It wouldn’t matter. it’s not the phone that transports her, it’s her head that’s in the clouds. And she is all of us.
Decades ago, this part of campus had the best parties. Now, unfriendly strivers in fantasy worlds. A Tower of Babel, and the split is more than superficially linguistic

The playbook will go something like this: 1) win back the House and Senate, and hopefully the Presidency in 2028; (2) admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, which doesn’t need a constitutional amendment, to gain 4 new Senate seats and cement control; (3) pack the Court, which only requires a change to the Judiciary Act of 1869, not a constitutional amendment; (4) eliminate the electoral college, which is unconstitutional, but not when you have a rigged court that finds the ‘loophole’; (5) flood the country with pliant migrants, swamp the natives, and hold power indefinitely.
If this happens and the Right isn't OK with it? You have or will till they try confiscation, millions of guns and people to use them
At some point you have to say, OK that is enough and end the experiment.
Take power over all of it or make sure they can't or knuckle under.
