Gemini by Google

Jacob's ladderGemini, Google's ultra-Woke engine

Jacob's Ladder - Feb 27, 2024

Last week, while OpenAI was thrilling the world of artificial intelligence with Sora, the first engine allowing the creation of small, realistic videos from a simple textual description, Alphabet (the parent company of Google) launched boasts the new version of its conversational agent, the global company's response to ChatGPT from OpenAI, itself owned by Microsoft. The least we can say is that we were not disappointed.

   

As usual to properly launch its product, Google subtly changed the name from Bard to Gemini (as it had gone from Google Apps to GSuite then Workspace, or from Google Local to Places to MyBusiness to Business Profile, or Google Hangouts to Chat, etc.) while giving it new features.

It must be recognized that Google's artificial intelligence engine is powerful.

The next few weeks will undoubtedly allow us to explore in detail what it has under the hood, but we already know, for example, that Gemini now has a pop-up of one million tokens. This pop-up window is what allows the agent to remember the exchanges from one question to the next. By comparison, ChatGPT 3.5 (the free version) has a window of around 16.000 tokens and version 4 allows up to 128.000 tokens and to give an order of magnitude, this last number represents the equivalent of a book of pocket roughly, where Gemini can remember a complete work of 1.500 pages…

Or a film of around an hour and a half: Gemini allows the user to provide images or videos as contextual input on which to base their responses; to quickly summarize a video, this may prove particularly interesting in the near future.

But alongside these undeniable technical advances and truly interesting power, Gemini stood out above all for the very rapid identification of a problem that was quite embarrassing for the Mountain View firm in California: undoubtedly wanting to catch up in in terms of image production from a textual description – OpenAI has indeed been allowing its clients to produce images for several months directly from ChatGPT – Gemini was equipped with this possibility but in use, it quickly became apparent that certain requests were simply not accepted or the gap between requests and results was so great that, very quickly, social networks took over the matter.

No doubt: when Gemini is asked to produce images with historical content or representing certain ethnic groups, the latter interprets the request a little too specifically.

Thus, obtaining the image of a medieval knight or a pope results in the production of images systematically in gross disagreement with reality: Google's artificial intelligence enjoys creating, with suspicious enthusiasm, knights medievals of all possible ethnicities but the blond knight with blue eyes is strangely absent; the images of popes produced happily draw on women, possibly Indian or black; as for the Roman emperors, they are all surprisingly very African.

The milestone was reached when faced with the request to represent German soldiers in 1943, Gemini saw fit to produce a series of resolutely inclusive images including proud black representatives of the Wehrmacht... Who still doubted that historical reality could bend as easily to the most modern constraints?

The Media in 4-4-2NVIDIA earns $277 billion in one day on Wall Street

The Media in 4-4-2 - Feb 24, 2024

In the effervescent arena of the stock market, Nvidia is establishing itself as the star of the moment, propelled by the fever of semiconductors and the challenges of artificial intelligence.

   

Ah, the delusions of grandeur on the stock market! Nvidia, the undisputed master of artificial intelligence chips, has embarked on a frantic race towards previously unexplored financial heights. Yesterday, the frenzy reached its peak as prices literally exploded, propelling Nvidia into a stratospheric sphere.

Nvidia's epic is that of a modern conqueror, riding the tumultuous waves of artificial intelligence. In this 2.0 gold rush Nvidia takes the lion's share in this bubbling market.

The figures speak for themselves: in just a year and a half, Nvidia's value has multiplied sixfold, lifting the company to the pinnacle of the world stock market, even ahead of giants like Google and Amazon. Yesterday, the ascension reached dizzying heights, with a valuation increase of around $277 billion in a single day. An unprecedented tour de force which relegated the previous record established by Meta a few weeks earlier to the status of an anecdote.

Goldman Sachs' Scott Rubner doesn't mince words when he calls Nvidia "the most important stock in the world." With a capitalization of nearly $2 billion, Nvidia is now positioned as the third largest company in the world, on the verge of challenging the throne of Apple, a giant with a $000 billion capitalization.

In this frenetic race to the top of the stock market, Nvidia is surpassing all expectations, providing a captivating spectacle to investors around the world. It remains to be seen whether this king of AI will manage to dethrone the titan Apple in the near future. The show has only just begun!

Naïm - Feb 20, 2024

Between the arrival of the virtual reality headset and the omnipresence of screens, Naïm gives us his vision of our society where dependence on new technologies is becoming a worrying reality.

   

And that has the merit of really pissing him off and making him even funnier.

“You know that Steve Jobs and company ban their kids from screens? It's like a car salesman saying to you, "Yes, of course, sir, you can go and test drive it." » “Yeah, ah no, I’m going with you, he’s crazy, I’m not going in there!” Are you sick or something? ". It's as if a minister of national education put her kids in the private sector. »

The Huxleys

deep geopoliticsFrom science to fiction: the dark world of the Huxleys

Deep geopolitics - 11 Feb 2024

Before the era of generalized surveillance, fake news or designer babies, a visionary, almost prophetic book was born: “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley.

   

A familiar title for many people. Almost everyone knows the name Aldous Huxley, precisely thanks to this book. However, his grandfather Thomas Henry Huxley and his brother Julian Huxley are also great characters.

Aldous Huxley's masterpiece, Brave New World, almost ninety years after its publication, remains a visionary work of rare power. Its impact, far from fading over time, has only strengthened, gaining relevance over the decades and societal developments.

We find this phenomenon with the work “1984” by George Orwell, an author also widely known and still read today. This increased relevance is partly explained by his ability to anticipate with almost prophetic acuity the themes and issues that are at the heart of our contemporary concerns today.

However, as is often the case, art tends to overshadow science and this is true in the Huxley family. Indeed, despite Aldous's literary fame, the scientific figures of Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895), his grandfather, and Julian Huxley (1887–1975), his older brother, remain less known. However, each of them, in their time, had a profound impact on the world of science with daring and revolutionary theories.

Thomas Henry, often nicknamed "Darwin's Bulldog", was instrumental in defending and promoting the theory of evolution, while Julian, an eminent biologist, was a pioneer in the fields of ethology, of nature conservation, and a precursor in thinking about transhumanism.

Although their scientific contributions are sometimes overshadowed by the literary success of Aldous, the ideas and theories of Thomas Henry and Julian Huxley still continue to resonate in the scientific world and beyond. Their intellectual legacy raises controversial questions and ethical debates in diverse fields, from biology to philosophy, revealing the problematic aspects and moral dilemmas associated with this exceptional family, to say the least.

The impact and influence of this family does not stop only with these 3 characters, other members of the Huxley family have marked their time each in their own way.

For example Sir Crispin Tickell, great-grandson of Jessica Huxley. He served as British Ambassador to the United Nations and played a leading role in various European institutions. This lineage, deeply rooted in the world's scientific, cultural and political spheres, is the symbol of extensive influence and intelligence remarkably placed at the service of its ideology.

The WWF, the UN, UNESCO and even the European Commission, all its organizations have been more than largely influenced by this family whose story is as fascinating as it is confusing.

In this report, we will travel back in time and examine how their quest for knowledge and different commitments have shaped generations and influenced key institutions around the world. Their story is a window into the dynamics of change and innovation, reflecting the complexities of a family that has been both celebrated for their scientific contributions and scrutinized for their controversial views.

Deepfakes on Youtube

Réseau InternationalYouTube flooded with fraudulent DeepFakes

International Network - Feb 04, 2024

The alarming proliferation of fraudulent deepfakes on YouTube poses a growing threat to users.

   

In the immense universe of the web, a new form of digital threat is manifesting itself, that of DeepFakes. I had the opportunity to discuss it in my cyber column on M6 and RTL on Julien Courbet's show “It can happen to you”. These deceptive videos, using the image and voice of celebrities, have made a notable appearance in the United States, mainly targeting users of the Medicare and Medicaid health insurance programs.

Journalists from the American media 404 Media shed light on this worrying reality in a detailed article. They revealed a playlist of 1600 deepfake videos on YouTube, totaling more than 195 million views. A real treasure for pirates. These videos hijack the image of personalities like Taylor Swift, Steve Harvey, Ice Cube, Andrew Tate, Oprah Winfrey, and others, such as MrBeast, the leader in videos on YouTube. Some DeepFakes use voices generated by artificial intelligence to reinforce the illusion as I was able to show you in deepfakes used in sextortion.

These deepfakes falsely promise various benefits related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, tricking victims into disclosing their banking information or making financial transfers. We note the apparent ineffectiveness of YouTube, owned by Google, in detecting and blocking this AI-generated content, despite the outrage of users and celebrities concerned.

It has also been reported that similar scams, using the voices of Cardi B, Tom Hanks, Elon Musk, Rishi Sunak, and even Joe Biden, have been identified on other platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.

A striking example is a deepfake ad by Taylor Swift, viewed more than 300 times, promising illusory financial aid as part of so-called “vacation packages” offered by the state. Other AI clones of celebrities, such as Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and Oprah Winfrey, have also been used in these deceptive campaigns.

Deepfake videos often use real clips of celebrities followed by fraudulent messages, creating confusion among viewers. These ads redirect to sites offering fake government aid, a scam previously reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Despite the ease of spotting these scams, as demonstrated by a student who identified more than 16 fraudulent ads, YouTube and Google appear to be unresponsive, continuing to generate advertising revenue from these dubious companies. This laxity raises concerns about Google's ability and willingness to protect its users.

This situation highlights a dark side of generative artificial intelligence: its ability to mass-produce low-quality and misleading content. While AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries, its malicious use in these scams highlights the need for increased vigilance and effective regulation to protect users and maintain the integrity of online platforms.

It is also essential that users stop naively believing everything they see online, 7 days a week, 7 days a year.

fiber for 2025?

GeopolintelThe digitalization of France has “lead in the wing”

Geolintel - Dec 12, 2023

Reaching 100% fiber by 2025 is increasingly complicated.

   

Jean-François Fallacher, general manager of Orange France, predicted that “the further we go towards the end, the more complicated it will be”. The difficulties concern poor workmanship, complex connections, slowdown in areas
dense. The replacement of the copper network is not for tomorrow.

Whose fault is it ?

Minister Jean-Noël Barrot reminds that bringing fiber to millions of French people is not magic, “It is not acceptable for elected officials to find themselves on the front line to find solutions to problems that the actors of the sector do not always resolve in sufficient time.”

Jean-François Fallacher notes that when “We arrive at the most complex and costly connections”, “the situation is blocked in the private domain” particularly on the “last meters”.
The sector needs financial resources. “The French are suffering with inflation but we (Orange) increased our prices at the start of the year to compensate for half of the inflation. We will have to find more room for maneuver to work more on quality in the future.” An increase in the price of subscriptions must finance civil engineering.

The investment manager of the Caisse des Dépôts admits that “Either we wait for the State to do something or we take charge of the problem”. A financing system must intervene where “everyone puts their hand in their pocket”.

Such a project in an economic crisis and such a lack of funding will not help make fiber accessible everywhere. One of the solutions remains satellite but competition is very strong, especially with Elon Musk's service, which has been offering this alternative for a while with ease of installation and an affordable cost.

As 100% fiber will not see the light of day, operators are considering 100% very high speed.
The operation of the copper network poses a problem since the subcontractors have closed shop and Orange is struggling to repair the infrastructure. ARCEP indicates that those who have been affected from the beginning and included in the closure of the copper network will have no alternative or exemption.
We risk having digital deserts, leaving the French to fend for themselves in their administrative procedures or in making appointments with the doctor.

Why is the State panicking about the challenges of its ecological transition and territorial cohesion project?

The DefenderGenetically modified humans?

The Defender – Dec 01, 2023

Scientists sound alarm as UK approves CRISPR therapy to treat blood disease.

   

British regulators this week approved the first CRISPR therapy for treating humans and US regulators could approve the therapy - designed to treat blood disorders - as early as December. At the same time, the US company behind another CRISPR technology, "base editing", reported a successful initial study, although two of the ten subjects suffered heart attacks, leading to the death of a trial participant.

British regulators on Thursday approved a therapy using CRISPR gene-editing technology to treat two blood diseases. U.S. federal regulators are poised to approve this same treatment in December.

The exa-cel therapy, which goes by the brand name Casgevy, is the first CRISPR therapy for humans to be approved for the market.

CRISPR is a gene-editing technology that acts like a pair of “genetic scissors,” allowing scientists to modify sections of DNA by “cutting out” specific portions and replacing them with new segments. First announced in a 2012 paper, CRISPR is considered a simple and inexpensive way to edit genes.

Its inventors were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. In recent years, applications in plant manipulation and research into possible use in humans have proliferated, with the technology being touted as a potential solution to issues ranging from disease to food security to climate change.

But this research has been highly controversial, and a long series of papers have been published detailing the unintended effects of CRISPR gene editing, which has been shown to produce many types of severe, unintended DNA damage.

Casgevy is designed to treat two blood diseases: sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. Sickle cell disease, also known as sickle cell anemia, occurs most often in people of African or Caribbean descent. It can cause debilitating pain.

People with beta thalassemia, which can cause mild or severe anemia, may need regular blood transfusions.

Both of these genetic diseases are caused by errors in the genes for hemoglobin, a protein that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body, and both can be fatal.

The therapy, developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, was approved after a sickle cell trial that followed only 29 participants out of a total of 45 for 16 months. Twenty-eight of the people monitored no longer had pain after a year, according to Nature.

In the clinical trial for beta thalassemia, 39 of 42 trial participants did not need to receive a red blood cell transfusion for at least 12 months after receiving Casgevy. They usually need blood transfusions every three to five weeks.

Jacob's ladderBeyond Orwell's 1984, 5G and the launch of 6G

Jacob's Ladder - Nov 29, 2023

“It’s easy to tear down a digital society.”

   

"Make no mistake. This is a confrontation between the powerful elites, namely the financial, military, IT, media and pharmaceutical complex (UNCTAD) and us, the people."

UNCTAD is trying to realize this catastrophic scenario.

“Hell is empty and the devils are all there.”
~ William Shakespeare, “The Tempest”, 1623

Peter Koenig's contemporary analysis of “The 2020-2030 Storm”:
From 5G to 6G

We, the people, are in a race against the globalists, committed to depopulation; the control of survivors, their exploitation, dehumanization and, ultimately, our digitalization, in order to control ourselves remotely thanks to 5G.

And now, just “launched” by China, 6G. See China Launches Next-Gen Ultra-High-Speed ​​Internet Backbone – SHINE News.

Has the health impact of 6G been studied? Maybe, but no one divulges the results.

Here's how Qualcomm describes 5G:

5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G networks. 5G enables a new type of network designed to connect virtually everyone and everything, including machines, things, and devices.

No one has openly talked about the impact of 5G on health, but it has been studied. However, the studies are not revealed to the public.

Beyond George Orwell's 1984

Scientists who present the truth, describing the impact caused by microwaves on humans, are most often called "conspiracy theorists."

It's the expression that silences everything the globalists don't want you to know. We are well beyond George Orwell’s “1984”.

The 6th generation or 6G mobile network is approximately 100 times faster and more powerful than 5G. He will be able to digitize everything.

Here's what RantCell has to say about 6G:

Operating on terahertz frequency bands, 6G will provide a maximum data rate of 1.000 gigabits/s with a latency of less than 100 microseconds. When we talk about 5G network speed compared to 6G, 6G speed is expected to be 100 times faster than 5G, with improved reliability and wider network coverage. Look here.

The populations are engaged in a race against time. If we react, the project of the globalists, namely the project of the evil protagonists of the UN 2030 Agenda and the Great Reset, will be doomed to failure.

But if we continue to let ourselves be fooled, we will end up in hell.

This is why the entire United Nations system is desperate to digitize the world. The sooner the better, we may not have enough time to wake up en masse to get our lives back on track before it's too late.

The financial, military, IT, media and pharmaceutical complex is called UNCTAD

Therefore, the United Nations, the political body under the total control of the globalists, openly run by Washington, but in reality, by the powerful financial, military, IT, media and pharmaceutical complex, has appointed one of its sub- ministers at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development as standard-bearer – at least for now – of the deadly onslaught of “all-digital”.

Neuralink FDA approved

Something fishyThousands of people waiting to try Elon Musk's Neuralink

Eel under the Rock - Nov 16, 2023

Thousands of people have reportedly expressed interest in participating in FDA-approved human trials of the brain-computer interface developed by Elon Musk's Neuralink.

   

A computer chip will be installed in the brains of participants, who can only hope for better results than Musk's test monkeys, many of whom met a grisly fate.

Business Insider reports that Neuralink, the brain-computer interface startup co-founded by Elon Musk in 2016, has seen skyrocketing public interest in its upcoming human trials. A recent report says thousands of people have lined up to take part in the trials, which involve the implantation of a brain chip, referred to by Musk as “the Fitbit in your skull”. This development follows the FDA's authorization for Neuralink to begin human trials, after initially rejecting its offer for safety reasons.

Neuralink's ambitious project aims to create a symbiosis between man and machine, enabling direct communication and control through thought. While the initial goal is to help people with neurological conditions, such as those suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the long-term view extends to broader applications, such as sending messages or playing games with your mind alone.

The process includes a craniectomy – the removal of part of the skull – followed by insertion of the brain chip and an ultrafine array of around 64 wires by a robot. These wires, thinner than a lock of hair, would then be connected to the brain. The chip, designed to be placed behind the ear, would replace the part of the skull removed during surgery.

Despite the keen interest it arouses, Neuralink has not yet implanted its device in a human being. The company has set a goal of operating on 11 people next year and more than 22 by 000. Before carrying out human trials, Neuralink carried out implantation operations on animal testing subjects, including pigs and monkeys, using the robot designed for this procedure. Elon Musk has pushed for the robot to operate faster and for operations to be carried out without human assistance, highlighting the urgency of progress in this area.

pulsed microwaves on the brain

Gendarme ProfessionThe effects of pulsed microwaves on the human brain

Profession Gendarme - Nov 15, 2023

Governments routinely “classify” information relating to manipulation of the human nervous system.

   

In 1962, American scientist Allan H. Frey conducted experiments with pulsed microwaves, which produced clicking, buzzing, whistling, or banging sounds in the heads of people several thousand meters away. In his report, he also writes that with changing parameters it can produce tingling sensations or a perception of severe shaking in the head and claims that this energy "could potentially be used as a tool to explore the coding of the system nervous…and to stimulate the nervous system without the damage caused by electrodes” (see this).

In other words, Allan Frey was close to finding a way to manipulate the human nervous system remotely. This was quickly understood by the American government. Over the next two decades, Frey, funded by the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Army, was the nation's most active researcher on the biological effects of microwave radiation. Frey made the rats docile by exposing them to radiation with an average power of only 50 microwatts per square centimeter. It changed the rats' specific behaviors at 8 microwatts per square centimeter. He changed the heart rate of living frogs to 3 microwatts per square centimeter. At just 0,6 microwatts per square centimeter, it caused the hearts of isolated frogs to stop beating by timing the microwave pulses to a precise moment in the heartbeat (see this and this).

In 1975, Allan Frey published his research on the blood-brain barrier in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, where the blood-brain barrier (protecting the brain from poison that enters it with the blood) of rats, illuminated by pulsed radio frequency, allowed color to penetrate their brains. His findings were confirmed by 13 different laboratories in 6 countries and with the use of different animals.

In 2012, Allan H. Frey wrote an article in which he described how the American Brooks Air Force had falsified its experiment by selecting a contractor who injected the dye into the intestines rather than the blood, and thus ensured that the dye does not appear in the brain. This was supposed to help the US Air Force get people's approval to build radars nearby. According to Frey, the same Brooks Air Force Base then attempted to "discredit unclassified microwave research" in order to cover up "a classified microwave biological weapons program."

Allan Frey concluded: “Funding for open biomicrowave research in the United States has essentially stopped. » Moreover, the general public (around the world) until now knows nothing about the possibility of controlling one's brain activity remotely thanks to the effects of pulsed microwaves on one's nervous system.

In March 2021, American scientist James C. Lin wrote an article on Havana syndrome, in which he wrote that this disorder caused to American diplomats and government agents in Cuba and elsewhere was most likely produced by pulsed microwaves (see this).

On December 5, 2020, the American Academy of Sciences published a study on Havana syndrome, in which it states:

“Overall, directed pulsed RF (radiofrequency) energy, particularly in those with distinct early manifestations, appears to be the most plausible mechanism to explain these cases among those reviewed by the committee. »

But on March 2, 2023, American television CNN published an article on the report from the 7 American intelligence agencies. He stated that "there is no credible evidence that a foreign adversary has a weapon or collection device capable of causing mysterious incidents" (Havana Syndrome). In this way, American intelligence agencies tried to deny the validity of the scientific report of the American Academy of Sciences and hide from the general public of the world the fact that pulsed microwaves can be used to attack their minds.

Digital Dawn - Oct 22, 2023

WEF whistleblower warns of globalist plan to implant microchips in population.

   

The global elite plans to force people to have microchips implanted in order to gain access to digital currencies, universal basic income (UBI) and other services, a former member of the World Economic Forum has warned.

German economist and former WEF "Global Leader for Tomorrow" turned whistleblower Richard Werner urged caution on emerging technologies during a discussion last year at the 2022 International Science Summit, saying the WEF has intentionally refrained from showing people what a central bank digital currency (CBDC) would look like because it will involve an implant under the skin the size of a grain of rice.
