  3. Sadly, the sightlent/stupid majority in the USA still support the dumpydiapar president…like Hitler in his bunker, he still clings to his beliefe…and his devout/stupidfollowers still cling to him as nazi sympathizers do today…very sad America, very sad…this defy all I was told as a child growing up watching John Wayne prove America was #1…so sad…
  4. For who and what:? We still have Bull and Hillary’s testimony to come and that old Ms. Maxwell… but still, the anti woke bunch, those who fear queers and equality have there voice…so lets see…as of now, I fear the American empire is dead…culture fucked, national debt unmanageable and well…we just can’t do it anymore…
  5. So a co worker has returned from his first trip…an expert…seems he met a girl online, she manages a bar on Soi 4, an Irish pub…so…ah yeah “…not a whore, cashier etc,,,” and he was amazed…”…did you know you can pay a thing called a bar fine..?” I see my first moment in him, that awakening…that…how to call it? Moment where it all seemed to make sense… “…my lady friend wants to show me around, what should I do even though I am alreaDY AN expert…” I said “ go and enjoy…ask as you go along, either heed or ignore, but above all else, enjoy…” He is a bit of a fool and a trump lover so whatever he gets…but still, hope he gets it…

  8. Thailand’s largest crypto exchange moves to disable website withdrawals from 10 February after a user lost $7,400 to suspected desktop malware. In a decisive move to curb rising cybercrime, Bitkub Online has announced it will permanently disable coin withdrawal services via its website (www.bitkub.com) for all Thai customers. The suspension, effective from 10 February 2026, marks a significant shift in the platform’s security strategy as it pushes users toward more secure mobile app environments. The policy change follows a high-profile incident reported within the Bitcoin Thai Community on 4 February. A retail investor claimed their digital wallet had been "hacked," resulting in the loss of 250,000 baht (approximately $7,400). The victim’s plea for fellow investors to adopt Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and cold storage solutions quickly went viral, prompting an immediate response from the exchange. Desktop Vulnerabilities Targeted Technical analysts within the crypto community suggest the theft was not a breach of Bitkub’s central servers, but rather a targeted phishing attack on the user’s personal computer. Scammers have reportedly been circulating links to fraudulent "Bitkub Desktop" software or "free coin" giveaways. Once a user downloads these malicious programmes, attackers gain remote access to their email accounts and private credentials. Industry experts have long warned that transacting via traditional web browsers on a PC carries a higher risk of "Session Hijacking" compared to the encrypted environments of dedicated mobile applications. ...

    Thanks Bubi, Trump supporter - self evident. When I see a moron confused, I say, moron confused. Bubi I can post a pic of a trump supporter in support of the facebookery, but it will do no good. What astounds me and I assume most of the thinking world, is that the victims/survivors, are obviously keeping their powder dry, in the drip, drip, leaking of the POTUS involvement with J Epstein's cultural enrichment schemes for young and wayward girls. old saying : "truth will out..." But I guess in the game of politics, the longer the story builds, the bigger the impact. ________ related - News of Russo-Trumpian skeezy back room dealing, only confirms that shysters, grifters and bad actors are taking advantage of Trump's well known hankering, to be seen as the richest most golden man ever, in the history of rich golden men. Israel gave Trump and acolytes, Gaza on a plate, business opportunities galore, and now Zelenskyy says Russia presented the US with a US$12 trillion economic proposal — which he dubbed the “Dmitriev package” after Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev. Bilateral economic deals with the US form part of the broader negotiating process. So as with the Epstein matter, follow the money... _____ J Epstein on Trump "He has to be seen to get something, it's simple" also J Epstein on Trump, "dirty," "borderline insane," "evil beyond belief," and claiming "I am the one able to take him down" "The dog that hasn't barked is Trump... [victim] spent hours at my house with him, " (2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell) posthumously perhaps...

  17. Thailand election stakes are high as progressives mount new challenge against establishment By Asia editor Karishma Vyas in Thailand Customers shop at the Khlong Lat Mayom floating market as Thailand prepares to vote in Sunday's election. As Thailand prepares to hold a snap election on February 8, the numbers do not look good. Three prime ministers in three years. A border conflict with Cambodia that cost at least $436 million, projected GDP growth of just 2 per cent, and multi-billion-dollar scam compounds flourishing metres from its border. The stakes for Sunday's polls are high but as the ABC travelled across the country to speak to voters, what we heard was caution. "I'm still not sure [who to vote for]. I can't decide now because all the parties are campaigning on their policies," said retired farmer Kanonengnit, who was eating lunch at Bangkok's famous Khlong Lat Mayom floating market. Hat Yai resident Chanchai Saeung is also still choosing among candidates and "will decide at the last minute". "In my opinion, politicians don't care about what people think. They do everything to hold onto power. "They keep promising things they can't do. They made promises and we had hope, but they couldn't do what they said." Once bitten, twice shy This cynicism is not surprising given the bitter experience voters have had with their country's fledgling democracy. In the last quarter of a century, only one elected government has managed to complete a full four-year term. The rest have been toppled by military coups backed by conservative elites, or dissolved by the Constitutional Court, also stacked with conservative elites. Thailand goes to the polls amid political instability During the last election in 2023, Thai voters had finally had enough. They turned out in record numbers to deliver a powerful rebuke to the conservative establishment by electing the progressive Move Forward Party, which promised to clip the military's power and reform laws criminalising criticism of the monarchy after a number of people were jailed under the lèse-majesté law. What happened next was stomach-churning for the 14 million people who had thrown their support behind Move Forward. Thai court dissolves progressive Move Forward Party Thailand's Constitutional Court has ruled to dissolve the opposition Move Forward Party (MFP). Despite winning the greatest number of seats in the House of Representatives, Thailand's military-appointed Senate refused to approve the party's leader as prime minister. The Constitutional Court then simply dissolved the party. "The result of the election and the forming of the government, this should align in a normal democracy," said Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, the co-founder of the Move Forward Party. "People were sad that the party they elected won the election, but we couldn't form the government." 'They are trying every way to stop us' This was not the first time the billionaire businessman had tussled with the establishment. His first political party, Future Forward, was also dissolved by the court in 2020 for violating election laws. Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit has been barred from politics for 10 years. (ABC News: Karishma Vyas) Critics, and Thanathorn, maintain that the case was politically motivated. "In the last eight years, many of us have been banned from politics," Thanathorn told the ABC while helping local candidates campaign in the southern city of Hat Yai. "In my case, I've been banned from politics for 10 years. "They are trying every way they can to stop us. "They're afraid that the change we would bring to this country would stop the current system from benefiting the establishment." In this election, Thanathorn's Move Forward has resurrected itself as the People's Party and has consistently led in opinion polls. But even before a single vote has been cast, dark clouds are gathering over them. Forty-four of its party members have long- or even life-term bans from contesting in elections. In Hat Yai, first-time candidate Supat Hasuwannakit is facing a similar fate. Supat Hasuwannakit is campaigning in his home city of Hat Yai for the People's Party. (ABC News: Karishma Vyas) After working as a public health official for more than 30 years, and becoming increasingly frustrated by poor policy and government inefficiency, Dr Supat decided to resign and contest these elections under the People's Party banner. "I realised that if I truly wanted to change the system for the better, then I must step into the role of a representative," he told the ABC while handing out campaign leaflets with his wife and son in Hat Yai. "That's why I made the decision to run for Member of Parliament in this election." Thailand faces economic problems ahead of the election, including a drop in tourist numbers and a GDP that is projected to grow by just 2 per cent. (ABC News: Karishma Vyas) But two weeks before polling day, a sub-committee under the Health Ministry found that he had engaged in corrupt practices while purchasing COVID-19 test kits in 2021. The case stems from Dr Supat placing five separate orders for test kits instead of one large order as required by regulation. The Health Ministry did not respond to the ABC's queries about the case, but Dr Supat said that during the height of the pandemic he did not know how many COVID test kits he would need so he ordered them in smaller batches. He bought them at a cheaper rate than the ministry to help hospitals in Bangkok that were overflowing with sick patients. Dr Supat said that he is appealing the decision. If it is not overturned, he would be disqualified from taking up his seat in parliament if he wins in the election. "It is about destroying a political opponent," he said. "I knew it would be like this. There's nothing I can do." Dr Supat is convinced that the case is not about test kits. As the director of Chana Hospital in Songkhla province, he said he was openly critical of the delays in the Thai government's procurement of the COVID vaccine, and its push to legalise marijuana. At the time, Anutin Charnvirakul was the health minister spearheading both initiatives. Caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul campaigns for the Bhumjaithai Party in Bangkok's famous Khlong Lat Mayom floating market. (ABC News: Karishma Vyas) Today, he is the prime ministerial candidate for the conservative Bhumjaithai Party, the main rival to the People's Party in this election. Speaking to Thai media, he denied any involvement in the case against Dr Supat. Critics say the progressive party is responsible for its own woes after breaking election regulations and defying the constitution. Yet, as the political manoeuvring speeds up before this critical vote, the biggest hurdle the People's Party faces may not be its conservative foes. It could be the cynicism of their own supporters. "I think at stake here is the future of democracy," party co-founder Thanathorn told the ABC. "Do not surrender. It's time for this country to change. Work with us."

    People question where Epstein got his money-- Russia, Israel, blackmailing rich contacts--The money trail is the way to find the source; and the US Government has the means to do this. If his money came from Russia, it follows that he is a Russia agent.

    Like Bubi, I maintain an inactive presence on some of the social media - so I can see what others close to me, deem 'worth looking at'. A non sequitur if there ever was one. And it is with this advisory, that I post the following excrescence: By noon on Friday (local time), the post had been taken down with responsibility placed on a Trump subordinate.
  25. Mr. Z, all these things you mention mean nothing to me. I have a good life without Chatgpt, Netflix, Instagram and all the other media. I enjoy very much reading newspapers, books anyway and watch TV once I find something interesting. This sounds very very much oldschool and I am sure many people feel deeply sorry for myself. They are wrong. The idea somebody from Silicon Valley could catch me with their algorithms causes a hearty laughther here. Nonetheless there are great things that I use every day like Word.Tools that make life better like a screwdriver. Or Thai360. I am, by the way, not living in a wooden shed in the forest,growing healthy groceries and writing awkward poems. As I said I like to watch Facebook for fun without writing there but I note they are now collapsing under AI generated material. I am sure many people just fall victim to all this garbage, and while I am at it: There is a video on CNN where a journalist talks to an elderly woman who insisted that Trump is NO liar and an honest person throughout. The journalist repeatedly made sure she really believes this and she confirmed several times that is her true opinion. This was not a 250 pound trailerpark hillbilly subject but a decent looking woman with educated language and decent appearance. In which world does she live? Trump now threatens he will not release public funds for a new tunnel in NY unless they call it the Trump Tunnel. I checked various sources and it seems to be true. He has another 3 years to destroy the USA and should soon raise the idea to rename it the Golden States of Trump. When do the US citizens finally start a riot?

    The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1949, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to that of a human. In the test, a human evaluator judges a text transcript of a natural-language conversation between a human and a machine. The evaluator tries to identify the machine, and the machine passes if the evaluator cannot reliably tell them apart. The results would not depend on the machine's ability to answer questions correctly, only on how closely its answers resembled those of a human. Since the Turing test is a test of indistinguishability in performance capacity, the verbal version generalises naturally to all of human performance capacity, verbal as well as nonverbal (robotic). ___ OK, to save time I think we can posit that the "machine" in the above comments can be equated to the 'net and Ai these days. And my reasoning that Ai cannot pass a Turing test, is that if I have to interact with the Ai via a device or a machine, then I cannot be assured that the interaction is with a human. The only way to pass would be, if a human turned up and interacted with me and I was convinced that the human was human, not a cyborg or some such. This may involve a sniff test and close examination of features.
