This paint is worth a lot. They should sell it. Apparently developed by them. Zero publications. How is it wired is the big question.

VW electric sales are up 47% in Europe this year. ICE car demand down to flat, though not sure about VW specific.

The objectively best part about them is scaling them small enough to run privately. The problem with AI as a "National Security" strategy is that it is a Skynet datacenter strategy. The reason to remove government content that it is ok for you to use AI for your purposes is that Skynet won't be able to control you. The motivation for all of the datacenter investments is that the US government will buy all of the datacenter time to ensure Israel's rule over the US.

Had no idea Antarctica had this little land. A lot of flow paths for melt to the ocean. Greenland on the other hand, can have much of its galcier melt into inland lake.

it's specifically saying that "one day" it will be made untrustworthy.

So uhm, copilot just told us not to use these new copilot features.

I asked copilot...

How would Microsoft loyalty to US or other government's national security possibly compromise a user's PC if that user gives copilot permission to operate their PC?

How national-security or law-enforcement demands could lead to compromise

• Compelled access to data Microsoft controls — If Microsoft stores or indexes any of your Copilot data in the cloud, Microsoft can be required by lawful process to produce that data to U.S. or other governments with legal jurisdiction.
• Compelled changes to services — Governments can issue orders that require providers to change logging, enable access, or install monitoring in ways that may be secret or accompanied by gag orders.
• Access to telemetry and diagnostics — Diagnostic or telemetry data that Copilot or Windows collects can include evidence of your activity and may be producible under legal request.
• Local features that capture content — Features designed to assist (for example, an automated “Recall” that snapshots screens) create local records of sensitive material that increase exposure risk if accessed by an authorized party.
• Remote-control or agent capabilities — If Copilot is granted elevated permissions (input control, script execution, system configuration), those same capabilities could be exercised under legal compulsion or via back-end access mechanisms.
• Software updates and maintenance — Lawful orders can compel vendors to ship updates or config changes that alter how a product behaves, increasing access to user systems.

Practical ways those legal obligations could manifest on your PC

• Production of synced or cloud-stored Copilot logs, prompts, or screenshots to authorities.
• Microsoft being required to provide live access or historical logs from back-end services that the Copilot agent uses.
• A secret court order or national security letter forcing Microsoft to enable additional logging, monitoring, or remote access for a targeted account or device.
• Disclosure of keys, tokens, or server-side records that tie on-device events to your identity.

Why elevated permissions matter

• Read access to files and memory lets an agent capture documents, credentials, or keys.
• Input/automation control enables actions on your behalf (open files, send messages, change settings).
• Persistence (services/agents) makes it easier for any compelled access to be effective and harder for you to detect or disable.

Risk-reduction steps you can take now

• Limit permissions: Grant only the minimal Copilot privileges needed; avoid giving input control, admin rights, or system-level automation.
• Disable features that capture content: Turn off any screen-snapshot or automatic indexing/Recall-like features if you don’t need them.
• Avoid cloud syncing for sensitive data: Keep sensitive files off services that sync or index them in the cloud.
• Prefer on-device-only models: Use local-only AI modes when available so prompts and context do not leave your machine.
• Use full-disk and file-level encryption with keys you control; avoid storing keys where the vendor could be compelled to retrieve them.
• Harden account security: Use strong, unique passwords and MFA on accounts tied to Copilot or Microsoft services.
• Audit logs and telemetry: Review and reduce diagnostic/telemetry settings; regularly review logs for unexpected activity.
• Segmentation: Use a separate machine or VM for highly sensitive work so a general-purpose Copilot-enabled device doesn’t hold those secrets.
• Legal & contractual protections: For high-risk contexts, seek contractual commitments, data residency options, or legal counsel about how a vendor handles lawful demands.

Quick practical checklist

• Turn off automatic screenshot/Recall features.
• Remove admin permissions from Copilot agent.
• Keep sensitive work on a non-synced, encrypted volume.
• Use local-only AI options where offered.
• Enable and monitor endpoint and network logging for unusual remote access.

Short conclusion Allowing Copilot to operate your PC raises the surface where lawful government demands or compelled actions could expose data or enable access. The likelihood and scope depend on which features you enable (especially cloud sync, screen capture, and elevated permissions) and the legal jurisdiction over the vendor or the data. Minimize permissions, disable content-capture features, and isolate truly sensitive workflows to reduce exposure.

There is a systemic gender advantage of opposite gender wanting to be your friend more than the other way around.

I don't know what the manosphere is. PUA/Andrew Tate try to elevate men's self esteem. Whether denying men's insecurities is targetting them is grey area. Incels as a defeated group moaning to each other about defeat, get piled on with a lot of supremacist hate, mostly from women/women's groups.

Where is the "bully like" fashion? It can't be "acting like a role model".

Chritofascists, who primarily serve Zionist supremacist establishment, or Feminazis, lie to their audience, but aren't bullying their adherents. They are boosting their "deserved supremacism" by diminishing the rights/humanity of their "inferior" enemies. Supremacists sell "you too can have my advantages if you join us". It can be wrong without it being classified as bullying.

Even if you normalize the supremacist right to diminish Russia, and the usefulness of pig vermin nazis paid to destroy Ukraine to engage in your supremacist vision, such idiocy is entirely and purely for selling out Europe to US dominance. Origins of war were about nordstream, and EU energy capture, even as EU did good job transitioning away from extortionist energy. The CIA stooge NATO members have as only purpose to deliver US miltiary subservience.

Even for demonic supremacists, as their unquestionable nature, whether Russia can be diminished instead of strengthened should be a key decision factor. Certainly more terrorism inside Russia is more Russia diminishment, but it's only hatred of Ukrainians that justify it, and hatred of low European Sievert counts to justify Tomahawks. Supremacists lose wars when they overestimate their supremacism, believe their lies, and pretend their lies have any influence on the enemies they hate. While west just kept lying as a strategy, Russia increased military production 30%+ per year.

Even if you want Russia to do as poorly as the US has made NATO members do poorly, the best strategy is to force it to transition to a peacetime economy.

weird take. There's certainly a feminist supremacist sphere active in demonizing and diminishing "less attractive" men, and women, feminist or not, have always enjoyed the privilege of men seeking their friendship with more passion than other way around. Friendly women of low attractiveness levels have more opportunities to have their sexuality validated.

This is just a supremacist take on demonizing men further.

CIA stooges look out for each other.
