The “Godfather of AI” Says Doomsayers Are Wrong and ChatGPT Isn’t Remarkable – Mainly an Advanced Disinformation Tool
The hype over AI Chat searches as well as the "AI is going to take over the world and replace humans" is continuing unabated, and investments into AI are now the only thing left propping up the U.S. economy. I suppose this is the result of having a generation of adults who have now grown up in the "computer age" starting in the early 1980s who are now running the economy with their beliefs in AI and technology. Old school technologists like myself, who watched all of this technology develop, and know better, are having little to no effect in trying to dispel these false beliefs. I have earned my living and built my career on this technology for over 25 years now, but that doesn't seem to matter with this generation. My views on the hype over this "new" AI fad are not unique at all, as many others also share them, but it is much more interesting to state that AI is going to take over the world and replace humans, and that is the view that gets clicks and traffic today, which can obviously be monetized as well. Therefore, the "AI is going to take over the world" view is the predominant view, not because it is true, but because it is more popular and sells more. So I am going to highlight some of the other dissenting voices in this article, and then I am going to show what this "new" AI Chat software is actually doing today, as it has been out in the public for about 5 months now. But if you want the spoiler as to what it is actually doing today with hundreds of millions of users, here it is: It is a disinformation and data collection tool.
Yuan Surpasses U.S. Dollar to Become the Most-used Currency in China’s Cross-border Transactions
The news regarding the U.S. dollar's status as the world's #1 currency continues to be negative, as it was just reported today that the yuan surpassed the U.S. dollar to become the most-used currency in China’s cross-border transactions last month. This follows another report from last week that Russia is completely abandoning the U.S. dollar and Euro from energy exports. China and Russia are not the only countries that are abandoning the U.S. dollar.
Russia Helps NATO Member Turkey Reach Nuclear Status
Turkey announced today that they had finally reached "nuclear status" as they received their first batch of nuclear fuel from Russia. Turkey's partnership with Russia, despite being a member of NATO, is another dramatic example of how the political landscape in the Middle East is rapidly changing, as the region looks to break away from its ties to the United States and U.S. worldwide dominance in energy. Being the only Muslim country in NATO, Turkey also has the largest number of armed forces in NATO outside of the U.S., and they are a strategic country that spans through both Europe and the Middle East. Last year they patched up their differences with Saudi Arabia over the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, and last month Saudi Arabia reportedly deposited $5 billion into Turkey's Central Bank to help prop up their economy. As an example of just how dramatically the geopolitical map is rapidly changing today, Turkey's historical archenemy since the end of World War I, Greece, is now inviting Turkey to become part of the recently formed East Mediterranean Gas Forum, which began in November of 2019. Check out the member nations that comprise this recently formed East Mediterranean Gas Forum, to which Greece is extending an invitation to Turkey to join: Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan and Palestine. Wait, what?? An organization consisting of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian Countries all cooperating together "on developing an infrastructure for gas trade within the region and with external markets"?? And now Greece is inviting their archenemy Turkey to also join??
JPMorgan: “ChatGPT has Driven Half the Gains in the Stock Market this Year” – Mega Financial Bubble About to Explode
I have been reporting on the Big Tech Crash since it started last year (2022). This crash picked up speed in 2022 following the collapse of the mega Cryptocurrency company FTX, which revealed a huge criminal Ponzi scheme that raked in $billions while its founder and associates reveled in their wealth with drugs, wild parties and sexual orgies. Criminal prosecutions and other civil lawsuits are still ongoing, and we may never know just how far this scandal reached, and the extent of those involved, which includes many famous professional sports figures. The Miami Heat NBA Basketball team's arena was even named after FTX, and had to recently change its name just after FTX had purchased a multi-year sponsorship of the arena. Here in 2023, however, investors have continued to pour money into Big Tech stocks, in spite of the losses they suffered in 2022 and the hundreds of thousands who have now been laid off by these companies, and I have been warning for the past 3 months that this is a huge bubble because most of these investments are going into the newest fad in Big Tech: Artificial Intelligence Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, in spite of the fact that these new software products are not producing any revenue yet. And in a report published today about an analysis from JPMorgan, the analysis stated that "The interest sparked in artificial intelligence driven by ChatGPT and other large language models has driven more than half the gains in the S&P 500 this year." WOW!!! That's worse than even I expected! Not only is Big Tech in trouble and about to crash, so is the entire United States financial system.
The Myth of “Fossil Fuels” and the Myth that the U.S. is Transitioning Away from Oil to “Green” Energy
The United States has been the world's most dominant economic nation since World War 2, and the primary way they have maintained their empire has been by controlling the world's oil and energy. But the world is quickly changing as more and more people wake up to the fact that the Ukraine war has been a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia, and that the goal of the U.S. has been to cut off Europe, which does not produce near enough oil to meet the needs of its population, from the cheap energy they were importing from Russia. The blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline was part of that strategy, to force Europe to start buying more of their energy from the U.S. instead of Russia. But the rest of the world is striking back now, and quickly abandoning the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, which has been called the "petrol dollar," being the currency that the world has used to trade oil. In order to convince the American public to support the endless wars the U.S. has engaged in since the end of WW II, which have primarily been wars to control the world's oil, they have had to engage in decades of propaganda spreading lies and myths to justify their military actions. So let's dispel some of these myths regarding energy and oil, including the myth that petroleum is a "fossil fuel" and not "renewable."
Will America’s Addiction to Computer Technology be it’s Downfall?
America is the most technology-dependent society in the world, by far. As I reported last week, the United States has the ability to spy on its citizens at a greater percentage than even China, due to the fact that a higher percentage of U.S. citizens are connected through technology and their cell phones than citizens in China, where over one third of the people in China do not even own cell phones yet. There is another way to measure America's dependency on technology besides cell phone and Internet usage, and that is by looking at how many data centers are in the U.S. that host all the server hardware that is required to keep all this technology running. In this category, the U.S. has no serious competitors. In fact, the U.S. owns more data centers than almost all other countries of the world combined, according to Statista.com. These physical computers, which are housed in physical buildings in physical locations, require tremendous resources to operate, which include energy resources and human resources, to keep it all running. Almost everything connected to the Internet today is run by these data centers that provide Cloud Computing. And all of these computers are primarily owned by three companies: Amazon.com and "Amazon Web Services" (AWS), Microsoft and "Microsoft Azure," and Google with their Cloud Services. If an enemy of the United States wanted to totally cripple our country, including military and intelligence operations, all they would have to do is take down the data centers owned by these three companies. The physical locations of these data centers is a matter of public knowledge, and I was able to find lists of their physical locations by using their own search engines, in less than 5 minutes.
As U.S. Bank Deposits Resume Outflows, How Quickly Will The U.S. Dollar Collapse?
While it has been a relatively quiet week in the financial sector, it may not be long before the economy takes over headline news again. ZeroHedge News reported today that U.S. banks are experiencing more runs on deposits. Pam Martens of Wall Street on Parade addressed the current "credit crunch" that was revealed this week with the release of the Federal Reserve's "Beige Book" report. Almost everyone now in the corporate news media financial sector is admitting that the U.S. Dollar's decline is a foregone conclusion in the future. The only question left is, how quickly will it collapse? Alasdair Macleod of Goldmoney has written the best analysis of the current U.S. Dollar situation that I have read so far, and it was republished on ZeroHedge News as well. This is a bit of a long read, but it is well worth it to understand what is probably in store for the U.S. Dollar in the future, as he tackles the question: "How quickly will the dollar collapse?" If you want a spoiler statement from this article, it would be this: "Assuming that foreign holders reduce their dollar exposure and at the margin buy renminbi (Chinese currency), the fall in the dollar relative to the renminbi could be unexpectedly sudden and substantial."
Jeffrey Epstein’s Link to the Banking Industry Cartel: Pedophilia, Ponzi Schemes, Money Laundering
Whitney Webb of the Unlimited Hangout was just interviewed by Jimmy Dore regarding her recent article: "The Rise of Jamie Dimon: As JPMorgan’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein are being scrutinized in court, Whitney Webb reveals how the same powerful players who brought Epstein to prominence were largely responsible for the rise of JPMorgan CEO, Jamie Dimon." If you want to understand just how evil the current banking system is in the United States, take 27 minutes of your time to watch this very informative video about how the Banking Cartel has been tied into the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's business operations for many years now.
Apple Turns iPhone into Ultimate Tracking Tool by Offering Banking Services – AppleID to Become National Digital ID?
Who needs CBDCs or a National Digital ID program to track every financial transaction you make, when Apple has already beat everyone to the punch with their AppleID that now can be linked to your bank account as well? Yesterday, Apple announced that they are now offering attractive rates on savings accounts through their Apple Wallet, as they team up with banking giant Goldman Sachs. With Elon Musk and others racing to create the first "do everything" app that can track pretty much everything one does in life, Apple just beat everyone to the punch by effectively making the iPhone, which is already in the hands of over 120 million people in the U.S., and over 1 billion worldwide, a device that can now pretty much link everything you do to your AppleID. This is a brilliant move by Goldman Sachs, which like all U.S. banks right now, is seeing a mass exodus of deposits since the banking crisis started last month. In their first quarter report today, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon admitted that this partnership with Apple will increase bank deposits for their troubled bank. Pam Martens of Wall Street on Parade also covered this new venture today, reminding everyone how Goldman Sachs is part of the criminal banking cartel with their history of "dubious dealings" going all the way back to the Wall Street financial crash of 1929.
Harms of Mask-Wearing Misdiagnosed As “Long Covid,” New Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review Indicates
A newly published meta-analysis and systematic review on mask-wearing confirms what commonsense dictates, namely, they do significant harm by interfering with normal human breathing (O2 and CO2 gas exchange), and even more astounding, may be causing symptoms that are being misidentified as "Long Covid."
Which Country is More Tyrannical? China or the U.S.? The Myth of China’s “Social Credit Score” System
With the evidence growing every day that the U.S. is about to start a second military operation against China over Taiwan, in addition to the one that is already swallowing $billions of U.S. resources in Ukraine, and with U.S. politicians publicly stating that sending America's sons and daughters to die in battle for Taiwan to fight against China is an option they are considering, I think it is time to step back and critically look at the current state of affairs between China and the U.S. But to take a critical view and make an honest evaluation of China's perceived threat to the U.S., we have to first admit that the western media, and especially the corporate media in the U.S., is primarily a propaganda machine that is totally untrustworthy in determining truth, and look at other perspectives as well, before we spend $billions more on another war, and potentially lose American lives over a conflict with Taiwan. I have no intention here of writing an article that supports China, which I know ahead of time is exactly what some people are going to accuse me of, but in evaluating the current world situation here in 2023, I think we as Americans have to honestly ask ourselves: which country today is more tyrannical and spies more on their own citizens: The U.S. or China?
Declassified Guantanamo Court Filing Shows 9/11 Hijackers were Recruited by the CIA
For the past several days, the media, both the corporate media as well as the alternative media, have been widely reporting news about the alleged "Pentagon leaks" which resulted in an arrest today of a suspect who was charged with espionage. I have not published anything about this story yet, because I really have not seen anything that was allegedly leaked that was important enough to report on, as other news seems more important, and I was not sure if this alleged "leak" was intentional or not, possibly to control the public narrative. And while I am still unsure about that, another news item that has been happening almost simultaneously and that has not been widely reported, was brought to my attention today, and from my perspective, is probably a much larger news story. And that news is that a copy of a previously heavily redacted document filed with the Guantanamo Military Commission was obtained by Seth Hettena of SpyTalk, unredacted, and that this now unredacted court document shows that two 9/11 Saudi hijackers were recruited by the CIA, and then afterwards the CIA tried to keep this information secret from the FBI.
Rothschilds Send French President Macron to China in Attempt to Save Europe as U.S. Rockefeller Empire Panics
French President Emmanuel Macron's recent trip to China has sent shock-waves throughout the Western World, especially after he stated that Europe needs to stop being "America's followers" and not get involved in China's conflict with Taiwan. The U.S. corporate media's initial report about why Macron was visiting China was that he was allegedly asking China for help in the Ukraine conflict against Russia, and assurances that China would not supply arms to Russia. But during the rest of Macron's visit, which included signing a new agreement between the two countries which has received very little attention in the Western media, and Macron's subsequent visit to the Netherlands where he delivered a speech at the Hague earlier today, outlining a new plan for Europe, we can now clearly see what was the true purpose of this trip to China. It would appear many in Europe, and especially the Rothschild family banking empire, are waking up to the fact that the U.S. is no longer a reliable ally and does not have Europe's best interest in mind in the conflict with Russia and the war in Ukraine. Europe's banks are failing, which started with Switzerland's second largest bank that failed a few weeks ago, and wiped out pensions with bail-ins and has caused non-stop protests in France over pension reforms. This is a direct consequence of the failed policies against Russia over the Ukraine war. The Rothschild's banking empire is centered in France and London, and Emmanuel Macron is the Rothschild's hand-picked man, as he is a former banking executive for the Rothschilds who became the President of France with no prior elected political office. So what I imagine happened is that someone high up in the Rothschild family contacted someone high up in the Chinese ruling elite and asked for help to fight back against the Rockefeller U.S. empire, and China was only too willing to oblige, as long as France made some concessions, like agreeing to stay out of their conflict with the U.S. and Taiwan. With really no other choice before them, they called up Macron and told him to pack his bags and sent him off to China. As Macron now heads back to France, he is rallying other European countries to unify against the United States' global dominance in order to save Europe.
Unlike the U.S., China Issues Warning about Dangerous ChatGPT AI Financial Bubble
As someone who grew up with modern computer technology and at one time earned my living from it, and as someone who not only lived through the dot.com financial collapse but has also owned an ecommerce business for over 21 years and has survived multiple economic downturns, it has been plainly obvious to me that the current financial frenzy over chat AI hype is one of the largest developing financial bubbles being blown up with no real model of generating revenue at this time. And yet, hardly any other financial analyst has come out to expose this very dangerous financial bubble that could burst at any time, and potentially sink the entire economy, until today. But that financial analysis over the current spending frenzy regarding AI did not come from any financial analysts in the U.S., but by the Chinese Government. China is the world's second largest investor in technology start-ups by venture capitalists, with only the U.S. spending more. The Chinese government might be regulating the AI industry to prevent a financial crash over this wild speculation in the Tech sector over OpenAI, based on an opinion piece published earlier today in a Chinese financial publication. Chinese shares related to artificial intelligence plunged after a state media outlet urged authorities to step up supervision of potential speculation. The ChatGPT concept sector has “signs of a valuation bubble,” with many companies having made little progress in developing the technology, the Economic Daily wrote in a commentary Monday: "Regulators should strengthen monitoring and crackdown on share-price manipulation and speculation to create “a well-disclosed and well-run market,” according to the newspaper, which runs a website officially recognized by Beijing. Companies, it said, should develop the capabilities they propose, while investors should refrain from speculating." Of course, the U.S. is also threatening regulation over the Tech sector, including TikTok, which currently provides $billions to the U.S. economy. The other huge concerns regarding the feeding frenzy over new AI technology, as I reported in a recent article, is that there are legal issues regarding privacy and copyright issues that could severely curtail using the new OpenAI technology, if not outlaw it altogether.
Is Your Car Recording You? Tesla Employees Admit to Sharing Photos and Videos of Owners Including “Intimacy”, Kids, and Location
Is your car recording you? If you own a late model car today, chances are pretty good that it is, because all modern cars today are connected to the Internet for the transmission of data, and these modern cars are also often equipped with several cameras. Tesla cars can have up to 9 cameras, and now an explosive report published by Reuters this week, who interviewed several former employees from Tesla, confirms that Tesla vehicles have the ability to record and transmit what goes on both inside, and outside the vehicle. These employees admitted that they often shared hilarious, and sometimes embarrassing, videos of Tesla owners among themselves in their own private chat network.
Beijing and Moscow are Uniting the Middle Eastern Oil Rich Countries – Sunni and Shia Muslims Making Peace
We are living in unprecedented times. I think it is safe to say that nobody alive today has ever seen such a massive realignment of countries in the Middle East coming together to put aside their differences and start working together to try and stop the endless wars, and work together for economic prosperity. And the two countries that are spearheading the uniting of these Middle Eastern countries, are China and Russia. This was a historic week of new meetings between countries in the Middle East, many of which have been bitter enemies with each other, sometimes for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Here is a brief summary of these historical events that took place this past week.
Protesters in France Burn Down BlackRock’s Office
France faces another wave of widespread protests and strikes following an unproductive discussion between the prime minister and labor unions. The failure to reach a compromise on the unpopular pension reform, which extends the working years for individuals, has fueled two-and-a-half months of public discontent. Hundreds of thousands of people protested against Emmanuel Macron's pension reform to raise the minimum age from 62 to 64. Pension protestors in France were gathered outside of BlackRock's Paris headquarters. The protestors have now stormed the building. Here are the current scenes from Paris...
Venture Capital Backed Substack Latest Big Tech Company to Report Huge Financial Losses
As we watch the collapse of Big Tech and their financial institutions, popular content platform provider Substack's recent financial statements show that they too may soon be a casualty of reckless spending by Silicon Valley venture capitalists. It was reported yesterday that recent financial filings with the SEC show that Substack is burning through cash too quickly, and they have been having a hard time raising new capital. Substack has been in the news this week for another reason: a public argument between journalist Matt Taibbi, famous for publishing "The Twitter Files," and the current owner of Twitter, Elon Musk. Taibbi has stated he is leaving Twitter over alleged censorship on Twitter regarding Substack writers, something Elon Musk denies. As much as Taibbi and others are trying to frame this conflict as censorship by Twitter over Substack because they are afraid Substack is going to compete with them, the evidence seems to point to the opposite, given the fact that Substack is reported to be bleeding huge financial losses, and that venture capital firms turned them down in 2022 to raise more money. That includes Andreessen Horowitz, who is heavily invested in BOTH Twitter and Substack, as well as Elon Musk himself, who reportedly had an opportunity to buy Substack last year, but declined. All the evidence points to the same kind of financial troubles that other Big Tech companies are currently suffering which is leading to massive layoffs: "cheap money" has now disappeared since the Fed began raising interest rates, and these bloated Big Tech companies have been caught with their pants down, showing that their business model of investing first, and hoping you can earn a profit later, just won't work anymore.
Big Tech Fail: Not Enough Computers in the U.S. to Develop New AI Software
I recently reported how America's faith in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is about to destroy the U.S. economy, as investors are pouring $BILLIONS into developing new AI software, which is projected to be a $1.59 TRILLION industry by 2030. And news continues to be reported on just how much of a fantasy this faith in AI, and technology in general, is, as we are being setup for perhaps the largest economical bubble to burst in the history of the U.S. Today, The Information confirmed one of the reasons I gave for a possible imminent collapse of the Tech sector based on this rush into AI: there aren't enough computers in the U.S. to run all of this new, power hungry, desire for these new AI toys that do NOT produce any revenue yet. "AI Developers Stymied by Server Shortage at AWS, Microsoft, Google - Startups and other companies trying to capitalize on the artificial intelligence boom sparked by OpenAI are running into a problem: They can’t find enough specialized computers to make their own AI software. A spike in demand for server chips that can train and run machine-learning software has caused a shortage, prompting major cloud-server providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google and Oracle to limit their availability for customers, according to interviews with the cloud companies and their customers. Some customers have reported monthslong wait times to rent the hardware. Cloud providers expanding their data centers also are running into problems getting enough energy sources to power them, according to a February report from commercial real estate firm CBRE." The Technology Community here in 2023 has obviously not learned the lessons from the Big Tech bubble burst and economic fallout in the early 2000s, and this bubble looks to be a lot worse, given how their largest bank, Silicon Valley Bank, has already failed, and many other banks in the U.S. are on the brink of collapse. These gigantic Tech companies, such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, are running most of the economy today, and if they crash, so does America. Here is more evidence that Big Tech is recklessly overspending what is left of America's wealth, and that our reliance on Technology could be close to collapsing what is remaining of the American Empire.
Another Former Associate with Jeffrey Epstein Files to Run for U.S. President in 2024
It has been widely reported today that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has filed to run for the office of the U.S. Presidency in 2024, giving Americans two candidates now, one in each party, who are former associates with convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and are running for President. Just about everyone in the alternative media who has covered this announcement by RFK Jr. sees this as wonderful news, while the corporate media, which seem to be following some kind of script or press release, are all writing basically the same thing and choosing to just criticize his "anti-vaxx" positions. This "negative" media coverage will of course only strengthen Kennedy's support in the alternative media which thrives on negative news against the COVID shots. What is lacking in all of this media coverage is the abundance of publicly available information about RFK Jr.'s troubled past with sex and drugs, much of which was published back in 2015 by New York Times bestselling author, Jerry Oppenheimer, and his book: RFK Jr and the "Dark Side of the Dream", which the New York Daily News described as "A bombshell unauthorized biography tells the haunting past that kept Kennedy from following in his father's footsteps." So a member of the incredibly famous Kennedy family, who just a few years ago was considered by most in the media as "unelectable" and has never previously held a public elected office before, is now being funded by a wealthy Silicon Valley Technocrat who apparently believes that he can buy a U.S. President.
