‘My organs shut down, now I’m in a wheelchair’: The lives ruined by Covid jabs. The Telegraph just published a story on how "the true scale of the vaccines’ side effects is emerging". Why now, one wonders? Recently, Sen Ron Johnson sent RFK Jr a letter summarizing "evidence that appears to show yet another instance of the Biden administration’s failure to take immediate action to warn the public about a serious COVID-19 vaccine adverse event." In other words, the Biden administration (esp Rochelle Walensky) appeared to downplay the severity of the vax side-effects, likely so as not to discourage people from getting it. This is why the public has little trust in the government when it comes to medical advice now. Everything is so political.

The Kitchen Blacklist. Seven brands that became famous for their quality products are tainted now, because the original products are not the ones being sold today. Instead people are getting inferior imitations.

Interesting article about Suno, the company the develops and markets AI-generated music. I don't have a problem with it. A lot of human-generated music is lousy, too, so I'm willing to listen to something different.
And here's 24-hour Lo-Fi chill music, which I suspect is AI-generated, too. Perfect for studying or coding. Music can be a commodity, too.

Medicine technology is progressing. A woman’s uterus has been kept alive outside the body for the first time. Baby factories may be in our future before long. Brave New World, for sure.

Exposing young children to AI content could have irreversible consequences. Well, yeah, but that's the future. Kids will be exposed to it soon enough. Parents need to be around to guide them. It's like the Internet – much of it is unsuitable for children. But children are already on it. Generative AI is a powerful tool, and kids should learn how to use it. It's probably futile to restrict it, but yes, we need to be cautious.

Anthropic has a model that they say is too powerful to be released to the public. It's called Claude Mythos, and the Pentagon wants it. Of course, I want it, too.

United States v. Heppner. It's important to understand, chats with public chatbots are public. Like chatbots are not HIPAA covered entities so don't expect secrecy either.

Since we're all talking about Iran, here's the story of the Harvard graduate who helped the CIA install the Shah. His name was Kim Roosevelt. Anyone else find it interesting that there is no plan announced to re-install the Shah as leader of Iran to replace the mullahs? Trump is taking a very different approach from past presidents, who just wiped out the leaders the U.S. didn't like. That often ended up disastrously. Instead Trump is preserving the current government (not necessarily the leader), and is using the representative of the current government, whoever that might be, to facilitate change. It's a different strategy. So who knows how the Crown Prince will fit in, if at all?

New Census Data Shows Oregon Is Losing Residents in Their Prime Earning Year. WWeek thinks it's due to high housing costs. Commenters think it's the taxes. Why couldn't it be both? Look at those people fleeing the crazies in Mulnomah County!
Lane County gains only due to U of O. Benton County gained some, too, from Oregon State.
