@sleepingcreep I think you can use LLMs in an ethical way provided that you can access evidence that the #LLM you plan to use was developed and trained:

  1. with contents under the clauses of their #license
  2. by the #work people that were legally and fairly contracted
  3. without having voluntarily #poisoned the #training set to lean towards a specific value framework reference.

Yes, you may also consider that anyways it's been done and it is being used by millions in the world, so why you should restrain yourself while the rest of the world is exploiting their capabilities?

Because that's how #ethics works: intimately and regardless.

I read the full 900-page Project 2025 manifesto – here’s why it matters

#Project2025’s policy guidebook, "Mandate for Leadership", describes an America #poisoned by “#wokeness” and overtaken by #lawlessness and #chaos,

🆘where conservatives need to seize power immediately
– and for as long as possible
– to right a sinking ship.

The guide is just one part of the broader plan Project 2025 and #Heritage had in mind
to ♦️dismantle the government,
♦️recruit thousands of politically aligned people to staff an incoming Trump administration,
and ♦️quickly guide the next president into the steps needed to accomplish their preferred policy changes.

Trump has claimed he does not know what it is or who is involved, though he does indeed know many of the people involved. 👀
Perhaps more importantly, ♦️his policy plans often align with what’s in the project.

By seeking to influence Trump, the project
– which counts more than 100 conservative groups as supporters and contributors
👉probably poisoned Heritage and its allies’ chances of forming part of Trump’s inner circle and potential next administration
by claiming it could #influence ➡️a man who hates to see himself as influenced by others.

Other thinktanks that kept their hands clean of the power struggle could instead become more influential,
though it would be difficult, or impossible, to staff thousands of political jobs with people who have no ties to Heritage or Project 2025.

❇️In an ironic turn, given the #toxicity of the project to voters,
⭐️ it could cost Trump the election in November.

🥊 #Bitcoin is #NOT #Anonymous... yet. #YEP YOU ALL BEEN #LIED TO #AGAIN. How will you move all the #STOLEN_LAUNDERED_MONEY OUT OF #BITCOIN NOW?? WITHOUT the #TRANSACTION being #TRACKED? 🔴

News Flash Cryptocurrency #WITHOUT_ANONYMITY is a 100% BREACH, VIOLATION and #UNETHICAL_HACK of #BLOCKCHAIN_TECHNOLOGY (AKA #PIERCING THE #PROTECTION OF THE #BLOCKCHAIN_VEIL) which renders the #Current BITCOIN & BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY >> 100% #USELESS for Citizens of any Government or Clients of any Centralized Bank!

Also see #REPOST from 2016 below..

By using Bitcoin you are basically #forfeiting your #right_to_anonymity and allowing Centralized Banks and Centralized Governments to track and trace all transactions of those funds just like #SWIFT payment services. Aka #Bank_Wire_Transfers that runs on SWIFT Software Technology and are NOT #Anonymous either.

Every transaction is recorded by Governments and world banks #EXCEPT FOR GOVERNMENTS AND OR CENTRAL BANKS.

What is good for the #Goose is not good for the #Gander = double standards!

A #Viable #Crypto_Currency #COIN has NOT been #Created yet! FOLKS! #WHY? Because CURRENT Bitcoin Blockchain DOES NOT OFFER 100% #ANONYMITY.

GOVERNMENTS AND CENTRAL BANKS ARE THE ONLY ONES GRANTED 100% #ANONYMITY ON #BITCOIN_BLOCKCHAIN. Once your funds are in Blockchain they will be tracked & Traced by Governments.

#CURRENT #BITCOIN #DOES #NOT OFFER: #ANONYMITY.

REAL Cryptocurrencies built on blockchain technology offers SOLID Security, PRIVACY, Decentralization and #AUTONOMY. Banks simply cannot compete with this technology..

GOOD NEWS! #REAL #Cryptocurrency has NOT been FULLY #REALIZED YET FOLKS.

You all seem to have forgotten that #CENTRAL_BANKS cannot #compete with this #technology.. CALLED #BLOCKCHAIN.

#BITCOIN HAS BEEN #POISONED BY THE #CENTRAL_BANKS & USA Treasury Dept.! USING LOSER #MUSK & #ISRAELI'S (aka Crypto Jews) TO DO IT!

Those dogs who escape being shot are instead callously #poisoned again by individuals acting on behalf of the #government. Many are seen helplessly staggering around, struggling to stand, before eventually succumbing to their suffering.

The cruelty continues behind closed doors. After being caught and severely injured with 'tong-like' implements, dogs are being transported to private facilities to be inhumanely killed.

It's not a matter of if but when these drilling operations leak oil, gas and chemicals into the surrounding area -- spoiling this previously untouched forest. The deer, foxes, opossums and birds that live here don't deserve to be #poisoned by this stuff.

But we still have a chance to keep this forest unharmed.

Together, we can help ensure that #EnvironmentalProtection, not industrial activity, is the top priority when it comes to our national forests.

The #USA Buried #NuclearWaste Abroad. #ClimateChange Could Unearth It

A new report says melting ice sheets and rising seas could disturb waste from US #nuclear projects in #Greenland and the #MarshallIslands

"Ariana Tibon was in college at the University of Hawaii in 2017 when she saw the photo online: a black-and-white picture of a man holding a baby. The caption said: 'Nelson Anjain getting his baby monitored on March 2, 1954, by an AEC RadSafe team member on Rongelap two days after ʻBravo.’

"Tibon had never seen the man before. But she recognized the name as her great-grandfather’s. At the time, he was living on Rongelap in the Marshall Islands when the US conducted #CastleBravo, the largest of 67 nuclear weapon tests there during the Cold War. The tests displaced and sickened #Indigenous people, #poisoned fish, upended #TraditionalFood practices, and caused #cancers and other negative health repercussions that continue to reverberate today.

"A federal report by the Government Accountability Office published last month examines what’s left of that nuclear contamination, not only in the Pacific but also in Greenland and #Spain. The authors conclude that #ClimateChange could disturb nuclear waste left in Greenland and the Marshall Islands. '#RisingSeaLevels could spread contamination in RMI, and conflicting risk assessments cause residents to distrust radiological information from the US Department of Energy,' the report says.

"In Greenland, #ChemicalPollution and #radioactive liquid are frozen in #IceSheets, left over from a #NuclearPowerPlant on a #USMilitary research base where scientists studied the potential to install nuclear missiles. The report didn’t specify how or where nuclear contamination could migrate in the Pacific or Greenland, or what if any health risks that might pose to people living nearby. However, the authors did note that in Greenland, frozen waste could be exposed by 2100.

"'The possibility to influence the environment is there, which could further affect the food chain and further affect the people living in the area as well,' said Hjalmar Dahl, president of #InuitCircumpolarCouncil Greenland. The country is about 90 percent #Inuit. “I think it is important that the Greenland and US governments have to communicate on this worrying issue and prepare what to do about it.'"

@Npars01 @EU_Commission #Putin will be put to death for his war crimes. #Putin will be #executed - #hung, #shot, #electrocuted, #poisoned or whatever utterly #deserved #suffering and #death the ICC dreams up. I'll pay to watch this. Then hopefully we'll follow suit and start snuffing the Nazi scumbags here starting with Nazi criminal #DonaldTrump. Violence and death is all these fuckers understand.

US Secy of State Antony #Blinken said:

“We’ve heard the reports from #Russia of Alexei #Navalny’s death in prison. For more than a decade, the Russian govt, #Putin, persecuted, #poisoned & imprisoned #AlexeiNavalny, & now reports of his death.”

“First & foremost, if these reports are accurate, our hearts go out to his wife & his family. Beyond that, his death in a Russian prison & the fixation & fear of 1 man only underscores the weakness & rot at the heart of the system that Putin has built.”

Continued thread

His family members and supporters say authorities repeatedly denied #Navalny medical care, & subjected him to long, punishing stints in solitary confinement w/the apparent aim of preventing his access to the outside world. A representative of his Anti-Corruption Foundation in DC, expressed the belief in April that Navalny was slowly being #poisoned in prison.

"Nobody is allowed to see me," said Navalny, appearing gaunt during a court hearing in Oct. "I am completely isolated from information."

"So you cut all the tall #trees down
You #poisoned the #sky and the #sea
You've taken what's good from the ground
But you've left precious little for me
You remember the flood and the fall
We remember the light on the hill
There should be enough for us all
But the dollar is driving us still
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
River runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
So we came and conquered, and found
Riches of commons and kings
Who strangled and wrestled the ground
But they never put back anything
Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage
Wherever the truth is pursued
It must be the curse of the age
What's taken is never renewed
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
River runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land, oh yeah
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
A river runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
Land, land, land, land
(On my bleeding land)
Land, land
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
(My hand)
The river runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
The river runs red, the black rain falls
(The river runs red, the black rain falls)
Dust in my hand
(My hand)
The river runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
Land, land, land, land
Land, land, land, land"

There is precedent for #ThackerPass resistance!

Navajo and Hopi tribes campaign to remain on Black Mesa lands and protect it from coal mining, United States, 1993-1996

"The land on the Big Mountain reservation has been disputed by the U.S. Government and the Navajo and Hopi tribes since 1882. This area in Black Mesa, Arizona, which was extremely rich in sulfur coal deposit, attracted mining companies and the government due to the potential profit. Mining began on the Navajo and Hopi land and started to increase greatly by the 1970s. Congress signed a relocation act in 1974, which would allow one company, Peabody Coal, to mine this area uninhibited. The reservation lands of Black Mesa were then to be used as strip mining sites for private U.S. mining companies.

"Since 1974, Navajo and Hopi peoples received a lot of pressure from the government and mining companies, Peabody Coal in particular, to relocate. The U.S. government issued laws reducing Navajo and Hopi ability to keep livestock on their land. They also offered $5000 to those who willingly gave up their homes and moved elsewhere. Despite all the government pressure, by the 1990s, there still remained about 300 Navajo and Hopi families who had refused to leave.

"Despite the government pressure, #Navajos and #Hopis, already sharing government protected land, lived amicably and struggled beside one another in order to protect the land their people shared. The struggle between the government and the #indigenous tribes continued through the '90s but escalated on 5 August 1993 when a federal judge ordered the remaining Navajo to either relocate or sign a lease that would give them squatter’s rights on the land for the next 75 years. The Navajo ignored the order and continued living on the land—neither relocating nor signing a lease.

"From 1993 to 1996, the 300 Navajo families stood their ground and occupied their land against government wishes. They also ignored the continued orders demanding that they either choose to relocate or to forfeit their rights to the land and become squatters. In response, in November of 1993, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) began daily raids of livestock in order to push out the remaining Navajo and charged increasingly large sums to release the livestock.

"In the meantime, #PeabodyCoal had #mined the area since 1968 and continued to do so as the tribes fought to stay on their land. To transport the coal, Peabody created a slurry pipeline that used natural reserves belonging to the natives. This act dried up fifty springs and #poisoned water, killing livestock and threatening the lives of the Navajo. Navajo elders took actions in order to combat the advancing mining. El Elders Pauline Whitesinger and Roberta Blackgoat, in particular, were known for their decades of resistance, for tearing down fences, for confronting the BIA, and for ignoring official demands and turning away government workers who tried to persuade them off their lands.

"In 1993, Peabody bulldozed at least four Navajo #burial grounds. The Navajo blocked bulldozers with their bodies, tore down fences, turned away government officials, wrote numerous letters and emails, lobbied for government attention, and raised awareness among the Navajo people using the internet and frequent meetings. It is unclear when several of these tactics were employed. In addition, Navajo peoples filed several lawsuits in response to unfair land use by Peabody, for water rights, and against Peabody’s violation of federal #mining laws. Peabody carried on with their normal practices despite objections. Peabody Coal cited studies backed by their own funding that indicated that their mining practices were in no way damaging the environment.

"On 11 March 1996, a federal judge ruled the activity of Peabody as an infringement on human and environmental rights of local residents. Peabody’s pipeline was found guilty of violating the National Environmental Policy Act and the Surface Ming Control Act. Thus, the judge revoked Peabody's mining permit. He found that the tribal councils, the OSMRE, and BIA were disregarding the basic rights of the people in this area for profit's sake. Peabody appealed the decision and continued fighting for reestablishing mining access after this ruling.

"When the deadline, 1 April 1996, finally arrived most of the remaining families had not complied with the courts. The Navajo remained in their original homes, though as many as fifty families had accepted the proposal by the government. The courts took no action against the remaining families.

"On 26 September 1996, the U.S Congress passed the Navajo-Hopi Settlement Act, which would require all Navajo to relocate by 2000. In 1996, a group of Hopi and Navajos travelled to the London Stockholders meeting of Hanson’s ltd. to protest Peabody Coal’s presence in Black Mesa. Lord Hanson ordered his security guards to throw out the tribe representatives. Before doing so, resistance leader, Roberta Blackgoat offered a prayer. Today, families still refuse to acknowledge the various land acts. In regard to Peabody Coal, the Department of Interior Office of Surface Mining (IOSM) granted a permit to Peabody Coal to allow the continuation of operations in Black Mesa on 22 December 2008. However, after reevaluation due to an appeal from Navajo and Hopi peoples, the Department of IOSM withdrew this permit granted to Peabody on 8 January 2010. This was a success for the tribal and environmental organizations."
