"Open Source framework for voice and multimodal conversational AI" Asking nostr Devs, what about a push to talk button for real-time translation when face to face when speaking with multiple language barriers? Guess my thinking is yes there are apps that can do that, but what about a feature/quick button for live voice stuff ? At any rate, this looks like a fun program. #asknostr #SABC #SanAntonioBitcoinClub #learnOPENtech #LOT #OpenSource

"The usual psychopaths are now teaming up to take control over the poorest echelons of society. Through AI, they want to dictate behaviour, enforce compliance, and determine who gets access to welfare, housing, legal aid, and basic survival. This is social engineering on steroids — with artificial intelligence as the enforcement arm. Bill Gates, Charles Koch, Steve Ballmer and others have pledged $1 billion via a new initiative called NextLadder Ventures. The mission? To “solve economic mobility” by integrating AI tools into frontline services for low-income Americans. They’ve partnered with Anthropic, one of the most powerful AI developers on the planet. This isn’t about improving lives, it’s about streamlining control. It’s about building systems where: • AI decides who qualifies for aid • Predictive models flag “problematic” individuals • Case workers and parole officers take instructions from algorithms • And human judgement is replaced by data-fed compliance systems Systems like these will not just look at your income or situation, they will be able to integrate online behaviour, social media activity, even vaccination status or political affiliation to create a risk score that could determine your eligibility. Post the wrong thing? Refuse a jab? Challenge the narrative? Your access to housing, legal aid or benefits could be denied automatically. They don’t want to lift the poor. They want to manage them; predict, monitor, reward obedience, and punish resistance. This is the infrastructure of a new kind of tyranny; one that won’t knock on your door with a badge… It will just quietly lock you out of the system. 🤮🤮🤮"

I'm a big guy by most standards 6'2"ish 250+lbs.. ... I cried... .at least 3x watching @jack mallers at the BTC Prague conference. The boy, young man, whippersnapper... Has got more wisdom collectively than all of Wash. DC has had in the past 60+ years! His talk resonated with the crowd across the pond... And of course it did. They know, EVERYONE knows in most parts of the world! "USD Money/Fed" has been used to control and corrupt most parts are the 'Pale Blue Dot' . he's right about the upcoming generation. Either we teach them Linux, Open Source, Bitcoin, NOSTR, Freedom and why it matters , or they'll be locked into a system they might not wake up from! #StudyBitcoin #useNOSTR #learnOPENtech Stay free my friends, teach others to be as well, or send them my way!

GM #nostr land! Live Free, Stay Free...but pay attention! #FightForFreedom Global Capitalism in Transition - a Task Force convened by the Trilateral Commission in 2021. Its stated objective was to move the world "toward a more sustainable and inclusive capitalism". Did you know about this? Doublespeak alert!👇 The report "suggests an overall direction for governments, businesses, and non-profit institutions and specific steps they can take to achieve critical common goals." How helpful! Capitalism's fifth stage: "First, there were 300 years of mercantile and then liberal industrial capitalisms. In the 20th century, managed and neoliberal capitalisms rose to the forefront. We are now in the midst of a transition to a new fifth stage of capitalism." The task force identified 3 challenges meriting particular attention for this transition: 1. Climate change and how to accelerate the greening of our economies. 2. The digital revolution. 3. Inequalities, especially within countries. Their solutions to these challenges are: 1. Getting to Net Zero "Considering the level of climate change’s threat, a central pillar of fifth stage capitalism should be: every person should live and work in a net-zero world by 2050" The Task Force call for: "accelerating green finance; building voluntary carbon markets; promoting green labelling; and integrating climate into corporate governance." Proposed investments include: "establishing enduring national strategy forums", "embedding 'green' into businesses’ DNA" and "investing in green innovation" The report also states: "Establishing a price on carbon is an obvious path toward solving the green transition challenge from an economics perspective. Setting a price incentivizes firms, entrepreneurs, and researchers to innovate." "Trilateral countries should consider accelerating progress on both reducing emissions and incentivizing greater international cooperation by pursuing more limited “climate club” agreements among leading emitters." 2. A Digital Future for All "Harnessing the digital revolution’s potential is central to fifth stage capitalism. Without it, a more sustainable and inclusive economic system will remain out of reach." Proposed investments include: "establishing inclusive national digital strategies; closing the connectivity gaps; promoting universal digital literacy; empowering workers with digital tools; establishing hubs to disperse digital innovation; and transforming government operations." "That’s why one key element defining the spirit of this age should be: every person should have access to the benefits of the digital revolution." This is not about inclusion. This is about a closed system necessitating no outliers. They're building a digital prison... 3. Toward a More Inclusive Future "The new spirit of capitalism should have an explicit guiding goal to make capitalism more inclusive and equitable, namely: every person should have the opportunity to achieve their potential." Sounds great right? Again, this is Doublespeak... The report suggests one way to achieve greater inclusion would be to "modernize credentialing". That means a Digital ID. And if such credentials are necessary in order to participate in this 'fifth stage of capitalism', then the system is inherently exclusionary. In summary: Every person should live and work in a net-zero world by 2050. Translation: Every person should live in a neo-feudalist technocracy by 2050. Every person should have access to the benefits of the digital revolution. Translation: Every person shall be confined to a digital prison from which there will be no escape. Every person should have the opportunity to achieve their potential. Translation: Every person will be required to have a Digital ID to participate. What do you think of the Trilateral Commission's proposal for a "new stage of Capitalism"?
