Behold, the enemies. Everyone in the US should reflect on this before voting in November.

Such good products. It would be a shame to lose Duralex. https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/113294744153164334

Trump sued IRS in order to pay himself $10 Billion in damages for the thing every other president has done, which is show his tax returns. We didn’t need to see those to know that he was lying about his wealth and lying about paying taxes.

Now he’s using the IRS data to spy on everyone else. In a sane world that would seem to invalidate his claims about how that data should be private and not weaponized. https://theintercept.com/2026/04/24/palantir-irs-contract-data/

“Palantir Employees Are Starting to Wonder if They're the Bad Guys “

For smart people, they seem kind of slow on the uptake.

‘“I have run a hedge fund, I am starting another one, and it is not nearly as regulated,” [w]eev stated, having separately referenced “a meeting with Peter Thiel’s right hand this week”.

'In the same exchange, he spoke warmly of the eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who played a central role in PayPal’s creation alongside Thiel: “I’ve met Pierre, I like Pierre, and he’s a friend of a close friend.”’

"What EON Systems' misleading video and claim has done today is to try to steal that future victory and take its valor for their own, all in the hopes of raising some cash from naive investors who think they might get to human uploads soon, and all while riding a tide of hype they generated in the gullible public. (6/7)

The result has been a wave of secondary reporting that grossly mischaracterizes the current state of neuroscience progress, implying that it is much further along than it currently is.

"As a member of the Drosophila research community, and as a long-term advocate of brain preservation for eventual mind uploading I feel it is my…

But, unlike the misleading EON Systems video, that future video will be real... all 100,000+ neurons displaying dynamics that reflect those that would occur in the real fly engaged in the same sensory-motor behaviors. That paper will represent the crowning achievement of a successful Drosophila neuroscience field. (5/7)

What is currently most lacking is a catalog of the precise electrophysiological and molecular dynamics of each neuron and synapse type. Dozens of on-going electrophysiological, genetic, and behavioral experiments are beginning to fill in those details. But completing that task will likely take many years, possibly decades, of more research. (3/7)

"At the end of that long road, I have no doubt, there will be a detailed paper, published in a high-quality journal with full details and carefully peer-reviewed, which will at long last make the true statement "we've uploaded a fruit fly". And that future paper will have a supplementary video much like the EON Systems one, showing a fly navigating a virtual environment. (4/7)

"The hundreds of researchers who make up the Drosophila neuroscience community are making good progress toward eventually understanding how the intelligent behaviors of a fruit fly are produced by computations in its neural circuits. Obtaining the structural connectome of the fly brain and ventral nerve cord was a significant milestone in that quest, as was obtaining an estimate of neurotransmitter types for each cell type.
