    They are feeding all communications from devices into AI right now, both a massive security breach and they are calculating and creating an enemies list. Watch.

      I’d rather drink and play video games while I’m waiting for the Alphabet Boys to show up. I don’t wanna stress out peeking out the window.

        Sadly this is how I’m starting to feel. The problem is that means we are allowing this to happen.

          Funnily enough, most of the states where you’ll have to worry about the alphabet boys, also have Castle Doctrine laws. If they don’t have a warrant, Stand Your Ground. Take as many of them with you as you can.

          Best strategy for now is just volunteer a few days with local activist groups. Otherwise one is just letting this happen.

      If only there was a way to get someone in between too old to function and just old enough to function…mmmmm

      Oh well I guess it’s only 80 year olds or 18 year olds and NO OTHER CHOICE.

      ? How the hell they gonna get experience?

      By acting as assistants to professionals old enough to be trusted with real jobs and still young enough to remember where and why and how to do their jobs.

      Exactly like all of us non-trust-fund-babies did.

    “One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online resume touts his work for Palantir,” per Wired, while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.” A copy of the latter’s resume include his summer internship with Musk’s Neuralink, alongside jobs as — we assure you that we are not joking — a camp counselor and bike mechanic.

    Although both these tykes are ostensibly poised to rip and tear through America’s federal agencies, Wired declined to name them “because of their ages” — a somewhat baffling choice given that both appear to be of legal age. (And if they’re not, well, that’s a much bigger problem.)

    At least the 5th article shitting on wired for not naming them…

    But no one else has the names besides Wired?

    Like, I agree they should disclose the names, but I don’t understand why no one else can find out who these “kids” are.

      Most “news” sites don’t partake in actual journalism, they just shit out news from other sites. It’s kind of like the human centipede, it’s all shit beyond a single, original source.

        Apparently he had an internship at neurolink?

        With people like this you just have to get in their orbit and tell them what they want to hear.

        Musk has always wanted children to think he’s cool, and he weirdly does a good job of appealing to them. So I guess be as young as possible and tell him his a multi-talented genius and voice of his generation?

        Just throw all your integrity out the window basically

          It’s the second time I heard about this internship under the post about the same article, and the more I hear about it, the darker my feelings grow about this first Musk’s fuckup at calling a child rescuer a pedophile.

          This susoicion is empty, yet it won’t surprise anyone if he does that too.

        while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.

        So two people.

        In the quoted part it only gives the age of the 21 year old, and says when the 19 year old graduated.

        Various articles are providing the same info in different ways about them.

    I susppect that billionaires prefer young people in certain roles because many young people lack the experience to recognize evil instructions.

    I know I’ve wanted younger people in government, but I was hoping for people in their 30’s or 40’s. These kids can’t even rent a car legally. I’ve got a feeling that they’re just puppets.

      Speaking as a former puppet: all of Capitol Hill/much of D.C. is run by 20-somethings like this, precisely because they’re easy to manipulate.

                Its speaking to people. They also subtly make fun of a lot of corporate BS. The acting is top notch, the writing is fantastic, the story is intriguing, the cinematography is perfect, the sets, everything is on point. Well worth watching.
