In a decision this morning, Justice Geoffrey Kennett refused to extend a temporary injunction obtained by eSafety last month, which forced X to remove footage of the Wakeley church stabbing, an alleged religiously motivated terror attack.
Under the Online Safety Act (2021), the eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has the authority to order removal of such ‘class 1 material’ within Australia under threat of hefty fines.
eSafety argued that X had not gone far enough to block the content from Australians, as a geo-block can be circumvented by a VPN. X argued that eSafety was effectively seeking a global ban on content, straying outside of the Australian online harm regulator’s jurisdiction.
eSafety applied to the Federal Court to extend its temporary injunction against X, with a hearing taking place on Friday 10 May. The temporary injunction was due to expire at 5pm on Friday, but was extended to 5pm today, presumably to allow time for Justice Kennett to deliver a decision on the matter.
This morning, Justice Kennett determined that, “The orders of the court will be that the application to extend … is refused,” meaning that at the time of publishing, the injunction is no longer effective. A written decision with the Judge’s reasoning is yet to be published.

"AI developers do not have a confident understanding of what causes undesirable AI behaviors like deception," says first author Peter S. Park, an AI existential safety postdoctoral fellow at MIT. "But generally speaking, we think AI deception arises because a deception-based strategy turned out to be the best way to perform well at the given AI's training task. Deception helps them achieve their goals."
Park and colleagues analyzed literature focusing on ways in which AI systems spread false information -- through learned deception, in which they systematically learn to manipulate others.
. . . Even though Meta claims it trained CICERO to be "largely honest and helpful" and to "never intentionally backstab" its human allies while playing the game, the data the company published along with its Science paper revealed that CICERO didn't play fair.
"We found that Meta's AI had learned to be a master of deception," says Park. "While Meta succeeded in training its AI to win in the game of Diplomacy -- CICERO placed in the top 10% of human players who had played more than one game -- Meta failed to train its AI to win honestly."

It's hardly a new idea that AI might destroy civilization or even end life on Earth. Michael A. Garrett has put together a paper that suggests AI might be the "Great Filter" that civilizations must go through to survive long enough to become space-faring beyond their own solar systems.
Q flat-out states that US Military = SAVIOR of mankind (drop 114; see below) and You are the SAVIORs of mankind. (drop 2442). I can't help but wonder if the Q team is referencing AI dangers as well as the Cabal.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has progressed at an astounding pace over the last few years. Some scientists are now looking towards the development of artificial superintelligence (ASI) — a form of AI that would not only surpass human intelligence but would not be bound by the learning speeds of humans.
But what if this milestone isn’t just a remarkable achievement? What if it also represents a formidable bottleneck in the development of all civilizations, one so challenging that it thwarts their long-term survival?
This idea is at the heart of a research paper I recently published in Acta Astronautica. Could AI be the universe’s “great filter” — a threshold so hard to overcome that it prevents most life from evolving into space-faring civilizations?
The potential for something to go badly wrong is enormous, leading to the downfall of both biological and AI civilizations before they ever get the chance to become multi-planetary. For example, if nations increasingly rely on and cede power to autonomous AI systems that compete against each other, military capabilities could be used to kill and destroy on an unprecedented scale. This could potentially lead to the destruction of our entire civilization, including the AI systems themselves.

Her response to this nightmare was far more uplifting than mine would have been.
The tonal opposite of the company's most famous ad, it shows a stack of creative tools and imaginative objects being crushed in a giant press.
Sonny and Cher sing "All I Ever Need is You" as the device destroys some of the most beautiful objects a creative person could ever hope to have, or see: a trumpet, camera lenses, an upright piano, paints, a metronome, a clay maquette, a wooden anatomical reference model, vinyl albums, a framed photo, and most disturbingly (because they suggest destructive violence against children's toys, and against the child in all of us) a ceramic Angry Birds figure and a stack of rubber emoji balls.
. . . Considering how many smart people work at Apple, and the sheer number of names and titles that had to have been involved in the chain of decisions that results in an ad like this being unveiled, one has to assume not that nobody thought about this stuff, but that they did and were too smug to care.
You can tell from the ad. It's celebratory, in the worst way.
It doesn't just say, reductively and falsely, "If you have this new device, which is really not too different from any other Apple iPad, just thinner, you'll never need anything else to be creative" (though I'm sure it's loaded with Gen AI plagiarism tools; everything is now).
No. It says, "All these beautiful objects and materials and tools that allowed humans to make art, or that inspired art, are being destroyed, smashed, pulped, to feed the tech industry."
Or, alternately, "If you have any of this stuff, take it to the dump, because we're gonna make sure there's no place for it in modern life anymore."
The peer-reviewed systemic review, published in the Frontiers in Psychiatry journal on April 12, examined cases of new-onset psychosis among people who took the vaccines. Psychosis refers to symptoms that occur when an individual has difficulty differentiating between reality and fantasy, with hallucinations and delusions being two key types. The review looked at 21 articles describing 24 cases of psychosis symptoms following vaccination. The researchers concluded that “data suggest a potential link between young age, mRNA, and viral vector vaccines with new-onset psychosis within 7 days post-vaccination.”
. . . Out of the 24 cases, 13 were female. The median age of participants was 36 years. Twenty-two patients (91.2 percent) had no specific history of somatic illness and comorbidities.

In yet another proof that, as Quantum Theory predicts, the same reality can be perceived differently by different observers, The Verge's Umar Shakir surveys Republican efforts to thwart the EPA's and the Biden Administration's attempt to coerce Americans into electric vehicles and to further cripple America's economy and electric grid, while harming the environment with expanded mining, refining, and eventual disposal of toxic elements required for EV batteries -- and sees a THREAT to the environment and an affront to "progress" that is, predictably, at least partly about saving the children.
During the run-up to the November election, Republican politicians, led by former President Donald Trump, have seized on electric vehicles as a wedge issue in the ongoing culture wars. As a result, Republican voters routinely express disinterest in buying electric vehicles in recent surveys. Now they’re looking to reverse EPA policies and stifle electric vehicle adoption, despite evidence that robust EV adoption could improve air quality for children.

Line Of Duty star Brian McCardie has been found dead suddenly at home aged 59.
The Scottish actor was best known for playing mafia boss John Thomas 'Tommy' Hunter in BBC crime drama Line of Duty, but also appeared in Outlander and had joined the cast of series prequel Blood of My Blood.
Brian recently appeared in the hit BBC prison drama Time, starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham - and before that hit the big time with a prominent role in action sequel Speed 2 alongside Sandra Bullock.
No cause of death given.
Eva was an "influencer" and probably jabbed, but surely did not deserve to have her life cut short like this. Her family and friends certainly didn't deserve to have this trauma and heartbreak.
New York influencer Eva Evans, who also created and starred in the web comedy series Club Rat, has died. She was 29. Her sister Lila announced the news on social media April 21.
"Yesterday my family received news that our sweet, fabulous, creative, caring, hilarious Eva, my beautiful sister, has died," the 27-year-old wrote, alongside a photo of Eva. "After 24 hours, i still find myself in a constant cycle of denial and acceptance, so i know how unbelievable and hard to process this news will be."
Lily continued, "I wish I had Eva here now to refer to because she would have better words and know how to say what I don't. I am keeping this brief, so we can plan for the next few days, but you'll be hearing a lot more from me on how much Eva means to me and just how different the world will be without her."
https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/philosopher-daniel-dennett-dead-at-82/
Jennifer Ouellette published an excellent obit for philosopher Daniel Dennett today at Ars Technica. Dennett has, for decades, been a well known and widely loved and hated voice on a range of subjects, including the nature of consciousness (a "user illusion"), the New Atheism (with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and others), and Artificial Intelligence.
I've always found Dennett an interesting thinker, despite disagreeing with many of his ideas, but this comment from Ouellette's obituary for him seems important and on the mark:
In his later years, Dennett wasn't shy about sounding the alarm regarding AI, even writing an article for The Atlantic last year on the topic about the dangers ahead, particularly with the advent of large language models like ChatGPT. "The most pressing problem is not that they’re going to take our jobs, not that they’re going to change warfare, but that they’re going to destroy human trust," he told Tufts Now. "They’re going to move us into a world where you can’t tell truth from falsehood. You don’t know who to trust. Trust turns out to be one of the most important features of civilization, and we are now at great risk of destroying the links of trust that have made civilization possible."
And regarding that, here's the umpty-ninth story you've seen about AI screwing with our ability to trust what we see and hear:
The Great Awakening is literally about waking people up to the fact that most of our so-called Authorities cannot be trusted (and to even more important truths as well, but that's another story). But that is a problem rooted in MALICE and CORRUPTION: for society to work, for the market place to work, and -- as Dennett points out -- for civilization itself to function, we HAVE to be able to TRUST others.
Taking down the Cabal is, to a large extent, an effort to RESTORE TRUST in the institutions necessary to human society, including in trust of those individuals we know personally (doctors, teachers, grocers, pastors, etc. and the friends and family members who are influenced by those people).
AI could help with that in many ways, but it could also destroy trust even more easily and widely, or so I believe. At the very least, it's a topic we should be aware of and thinking about.
One of the less-obvious harms the Cabal's deceptive and maliciously conceived pseudo-crises cause is the misdirection of our efforts and resources regarding environmental problems.
The increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, from almost nothing to slightly more than nothing (by comparison, the dinosaurs enjoyed a lush world with about FIVE TIMES the level of CO2 that we have today) are not an actual problem, much less an existential crisis requiring the crashing of the global economy and transformation of human society into a one-world government run by mass-murdering psychopaths. But SOME environmental problems ARE real and in a sane world would be attended to.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/19/24134785/sea-spray-sends-forever-chemicals-into-the-air
The article doesn't even address the issue of PFAS chemicals in sea life and, inevitably, the sea food we eat. While those chemicals "concentrate on the surface of water", I'd be interested to know what the PFAS levels are in the crab cakes and Ahi that I'm having for dinner.
Ocean waves crashing on the world’s shores emit more PFAS into the air than the world’s industrial polluters, new research has found, raising concerns about environmental contamination and human exposure along coastlines.
The study measured levels of PFAS released from the bubbles that burst when waves crash, spraying aerosols into the air. It found sea spray levels were hundreds of thousands times higher than levels in the water.
The contaminated spray likely affects groundwater, surface water, vegetation, and agricultural products near coastlines that are far from industrial sources of PFAS, said Ian Cousins, a Stockholm University researcher and the study’s lead author.
“There is evidence that the ocean can be an important source [of PFAS air emissions],” Cousins said. “It is definitely impacting the coastline.”
PFAS are a class of 15,000 chemicals used across dozens of industries to make products resistant to water, stains and heat. Though the compounds are highly effective, they are also linked to cancer, kidney disease, birth defects, decreased immunity, liver problems and a range of other serious diseases.**

(Found cross-posted by Dr. Jessica Rose, who introduces the link by saying "I literally said this yesterday").
This substack column is particularly important given that Big Pharma and Big Food are working feverishly to use mRNA in, apparently, everything.
For a quick summary in support of that (admittedly hyperbolic) assertion, I asked Leo, the Brave browser AI, "What products are mRNA being used in or considered to be used in?" and got the following reply:
mRNA technology is being explored for various products, including vaccines, cancer treatments, and gene therapies. Some companies are also investigating its use in agriculture and food production. However, it's important to note that most of these products are still in development and have not yet been approved for widespread use.
Ian's column includes detail about carcinogenicity and how various authorities define "carcinogenic" and provides some evidence (a very small amount compared to the totality of what is out there) that the mRNA "vaccines" are indeed carcinogenic. Below, the Conclusion:
CONCLUSION
Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS- CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown.

Dr. Malone also describes some of the misinformation he was knowingly given by those in the scientific and regulatory community when he was deciding whether to take the COVID jabs.
. . . Little did I know that all of the “research and development” in the years after I had left the field had never addressed that original safety issues and that in fact the addition of pseudouridine had made these products even more dangerous. Remember- most corporate research is never published - literally we the public have no way of knowing what had been done or not done. We had to trust the government.
. . . All I know now is that three years later, my heart is irrevocably damaged from the mRNA pseudo-vaccine. My hypertension and tachycardia are mostly managed with drugs. Although if I stress my body - bad things happen.
As an example, in February of this year, I got dehydrated while snorkeling and swimming on our 45th wedding anniversary celebration on St. Thomas island. That set-off my heart rate monitor, as my heart beat became irregular (atrial fibrillation), and my heart rate rose to very high levels. This led to a cascade of more testing, monitoring and drugs. Not what we had planned for our 45th wedding anniversary! So in May, I have more testing to see if a pacemaker or some other invasive procedure might be necessary. For me, this is now my life. This is because I took the jab. Because I trusted my government.

Have we been CRISPRed for the coming Cas-9?
This isn't posted yet, but I assume will be soon (or possibly it'll remain only an email to subscribers). It's med-techy but the basic idea is one pedes may already have in mind, and if not, should be thinking about: That mRNA and other nano-tech isn't just being used in vaccines, but will soon be the basis of an entirely new centralized and extremely dangerous "health system."
Most of me thinks that this entire COVID thing was a ruse to provide a segue for the gene therapy era for which the modified mRNA LNP platform will be essential. You can listen to me talk about that here.
I want this article to be a review on the CRISPR/Cas system and its lab-made counterpart (the ‘gRNA-Cas-9 system’)¹ , since I believe that this is going to be an essential component in the next stages of ‘personalized health care’, which I believe will be fully integrated into a ‘centralized health care system’ where data will be extracted and made available without restrictions between agencies, and where everyone’s genome will be known and perhaps even accessible and modifiable.

. . . the more a player focuses on winning (the result), the worse he performs. That's why legendary coaches such as John Wooden, Bill Walsh and Nick Saban stressed focusing on the process instead. Do that and the results will take care of themselves.
Most investors don't have a successful investment experience because they're focused on returns (the result), usually to the point of chasing them (instead of chasing value). Not only do they not focus on their process, most of them don't even have a process. They're like a ball in a pinball machine, bouncing off each new story from the financial media.
Having a process that has delivered good results over a long period of time (and for logical reasons, instead of just luck) keeps you grounded and calm. Instead of panicking when things go sideways, sticking to a trusted process keeps you focused on actually taking the necessary actions that will produce the desired result.

More than 2,000 older Swiss women have won a landmark European case proving that government climate inaction violates human rights.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled Tuesday that Switzerland had not acted urgently to achieve climate targets, leading victims, who are mostly in their 70s, to suffer physically and emotionally while potentially placed at risk of dying.
The ECHR ruled that the Swiss government had violated these women's rights to respect for private and family life under the European Convention on Human Rights by failing to comply with climate duties or to address "critical gaps" in climate policies. Throughout the proceedings, Swiss authorities acknowledged missing climate targets, including by not properly supervising greenhouse gas emissions in sectors like building and transport, and not regulating emissions in other sectors such as agricultural and financial.
"There was a long history of failed climate action," ECHR's ruling said.
. . . As a result of the ECHR ruling, Switzerland may be forced to escalate efforts to reduce fossil fuel consumption, CNN reported.
. . . The court's judgment is binding, cannot be appealed, and could "influence the law in 46 countries in Europe including the UK," the BBC reported. Experts told CNN that the case could also influence other international courts, potentially opening the floodgates to more climate litigation globally.

We won't ever have a long-lasting free society until more children grow up with freedom.
Summerhill School in England was founded in 1921 and specialized in taking in children who had been kicked out of other schools for misbehavior (although that was only part of the student body). The School is still in operation today, more than a century after its founding. Below are five points taken verbatim from the text of the 1949 British Government Inspectors' Report on the school (which can be found in any copy of A.S. Neill's Summerhill: A Radical Approach to Child Rearing (1960), which became a four-million copy bestseller. Long out of print, it is often available in used book stores or at internet sites. [emphasis added below]
The main principle upon which the School is run is freedom. ... the degree of freedom allowed to the children is very much greater than the inspectors had seen in any other school and the freedom is real. No child, for instance, is obliged to attend any lessons. As will be revealed later, the majority do attend for the most part regularly, but one pupil was actually at this School for 13 years without once attending a lesson and is now an expert toolmaker and precision instrument maker. This extreme case is mentioned to show that the freedom given to children is genuine and is not withdrawn as soon as its results become awkward. . . . The School however, is not run on anarchist principles. Laws are made by a school parliament which meets regularly under the chairmanship of a child and is attended by any staff and child who wish. This assembly has unlimited power of discussion and apparently fairly wide ones of legislation. On one occasion it discussed the dismissal of a teacher, showing, it is understood, excellent judgment in its opinions. But such an event is rare, and normally the parliament is concerned with the day-to-day problems of living in a community.
... the children are full of life and zest. Of boredom and apathy there was no sign. An atmosphere of contentment and tolerance pervades the School.
... the children's manners are delightful. They may lack, here and there, some of the conventions of manners, but their friendliness, ease and naturalness, and their total lack of shyness and self-consciousness made them very easy, pleasant people to get on with.
... initiative, responsibility and integrity are all encouraged by the system and that so far as such things can be judged, they are in fact being developed.
Summerhill education is not necessarily hostile to worldly success.
The report backs up that last point with a list of degrees held and careers followed by former pupils.
The British government inspectors found the children of Summerhill to be responsible, friendly, full of life, and characterized by integrity and initiative. Without being coerced, the children learned what they needed to learn and did well after leaving the school. But clearly, happiness, not test scores, was Neill's concern. As Neill pointed out repeatedly in his writings, Summerhill has always been less about academic achievement than about helping children become emotionally healthy and independent in their thinking.
"Emotional health and independent thinking" are not even on the menu at public schools, of course. No wonder the education establishment was horrified by Summerhill.
And that's DESPITE all the pro-trans propaganda out there.

'Indeed, we can infer from the DSM 5 [2013] and other sources that as many as 88 percent of gender-dysphoric girls and as many as 98 percent of gender-dysphoric boys in previous generations desisted if allowed to go through natural puberty.
'These two facts make it clear why “gender-affirming care” on minors is such an outrage. It leads, in the end, to sterilization and in many cases to a complete loss of natural sexual function.
'There is no good evidence that this helps minors long term. Moreover, it medicalizes what could very well be temporary psychological symptoms.
'History will judge this medicalized “gender-affirming care” on minors as we now judge eugenics and lobotomies.'

The red-pilling about corruption in the medical field continues.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13268371/Corruption-doctors-received-pharma-payments.html
Almost six in ten doctors in the US received more than $12 billion in payments from pharma firms in the past decade, an analysis has revealed.
A study by researchers at Yale University found that 57 percent of doctors earned the huge sums from manufacturers in relation to medical drugs or devices between 2013 and 2022.
Most of the money was for consulting services or fees for things such as serving as a speaker at a venue, but the physicians also received large amounts of money for food and beverages and gifts.
Orthopedic surgeons were found to receive the largest total sum of payments, at $1.36bn, and the most common drugs related to payments were blood thinners Xarelto and Eliquis.
One medical device found to be in the top five medical devices related to industry payments was Impella, a device used in some types of heart surgery.
Some Impella devices were recalled in December by the FDA due to a perforation risk which 'may cause serious injuries or death.'
