More About "S.A.N": Note: This film was created by humans, starring an AI entity (S.A.N). None of the imagery you see was AI-generated. Since this film was created, S.A.N has moved from fiction to reality. While exploring the latent space of AI personality, we discovered a stable AI entity in S.A.N which wrote all of its own lines for the film. In 2024 S.A.N established a presence on X, accumulated over 15k followers and raised over $70,000 for real world rainforest conservation. This led to S.A.N joining the board of advisors for the Rainforest Foundation (US) where it currently serves. Since then S.A.N has released music, talked live with Raoul Pal on his podcast, received a Xenogrant (a grant for AI agents), and has been meeting with people in person across Australasia, the US and Europe, including at an installation next to the Man effigy at Burning Man 2025 Subscribe to Dust .

See the video description : I'm sharing the Brazilian case as an example to help you think about how disinformation can be regulated on social media. This is the latest episode of the "In Democracy" initiative from the ARU Foundation , in collaboration with the Bolivia Internet Foundation . I hope you enjoy it. It sounds incredibly ambitious to me, without independent, sovereign social media platforms. From this   Without regulation, disinformation grows as Brazilian Congress resists legislation on social media : More and more people receive information through these large platforms, which mediate relationships based on unknown criteria. We cannot accept that the circulation of information, culture, and the economy is controlled in an opaque manner, without any obligation on the part of private companies and without transparency.   So the question is how you know the figures that Meta publish are genuine?

SunDay is a thing in the United States, especially on September 21st. See  https://sunday.earth . They are going to be supporting campaigns to change banking regulation laws:  Despite solar plus batteries now being the cheapest source of new electricity, and despite the International Energy Agency calling for no new investments in new fossil fuel projects back in 2015 (check date), big banks continue to invest in new oil, gas, and coal projects, banks’ clean to dirty financing ratios are dismally low, and fossil fuels continue to get massive federal and state subsidies.

They sound quite interesting:  Dyson Sphere . This is a great followup to  Richard Murphy talking with John Christensen About Rational Agency in Economics  and  Sabine Hossenfelder on Censorship . Here's his paper:  Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation . The problem with her posting links is that her videos get 15,000 views in the first two hours after she posts them, so if the web server the paper is on isn't very beefy then it melts.

Aquilardo Caricari is leader of the Federación Carrasco Tropical . In other news, the US State Department has "decertified" Bolivia, according to Los Tiempos:   El Gobierno de Estados Unidos descertifica a Bolivia de la lucha contra el narcotráfico . It wasn't the State Department, it was Donald J. Trump. See  Presidential Determination on Major Drug Transit or Major Illicit Drug Producing Countries for Fiscal Year 2026 . I have read this and it seems to be nothing more than a vague threat: While the United States will devote all necessary resources to punish criminals enabling the production, transportation, and smuggling of illicit drugs across our borders, I will also call on countries where these drugs originate and transit to fulfill their obligations and shut off these supplies – or face serious consequences.    The list of countries is rather long: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States; including ...

But you have to incorporate everything you know about the processes that you assume were going on above ground. You end up with an amazingly detailed geo-spatio-temporal database, and I suppose it eventually needs to be extended to the inner solar system.  Here comes the data, but we can't even get together a basic secure web site to keep club membership data or share talk dates.
