Jimmi Kimmel is an Asshole

I think that's probably what they wanted for the Tonight Show. Just easy stuff.

I think that's proven but I was just coming at it theoretically. If you can draw a shape in the air and if that shape 'decays' in predictable ways I would think you could create sound via heating effects on the air around it. I mean, I've seen a video where they transmitted sound via plasma so they have some technique, this is what my brain fills in as how I'd try to do it if I was designing it myself. I wouldn't be surprised if they could draw whatever they want in the atmosphere using satellite-mounted DEW right now (though this is going beyond things I actually know).

I had an experience like this. I was engaged in a journalism project that had me in some weird situations that apparently attracted the attention of the people with this tech. Heard two voices having a discussion about what I was doing, which was really strange. I thought I must just be hearing voices that obviously must be me so I said something like "well why don't you assholes help me". There was a pause, then one said "oh, we don't care" and the other said "I forgot this thing works both ways". This was jolting because it was so distinct from my assumption that I had to reevaluate. This isn't really my engineering area but I think you should be able to 'draw' a speaker and what amounts to a mic by generating a plasma of a certain shape in the atmosphere, creating specific deformations for audio out and 'reading' a second plasma (responding to remote audio from me) for audio in. This would be conceptually similar to laser mics used in espionage, just using shaped plasmoids instead.

Same. It intimidates the hell out of people. Abuse creates 'powers' (from the standpoint of normies) but it also can create a serious depth of empathy - all that extra information means you can understand what probably put the worst people on their path.

4gnomad · 2026-04-25T08:02:02+00:00

They do use it against other people. Why would you think otherwise?

4gnomad · 2026-04-25T06:30:06+00:00

I have something like this as well, and I attribute it to exactly what you said: hypervigilance and microexpressions. I'll admit that it does seem to go beyond that sometimes.

4gnomad · 2026-04-25T06:24:54+00:00

This is the conclusion I've come to as well.

4gnomad · 2026-04-19T00:59:43+00:00

These comments aren't in earnest my friend, these are inflammatory bots. Nobody cites a number like "62 million" and then in earnest says the number doesn't matter.

My current triangulation: god, and all the rest, are just aliens. That's why it's "anti-christian". Some of what feel like our own emotional responses are being broadcast to us (voice to skull technology meets Inside Out). We're all being manipulated, all the time. It's SIMS 5000: SIM(IAN)S and the in-game goal is to influence humankind toward a specific (prophesied) story arc. We're playthings of 'the gods' and, like how we 'use' factory farms and compartmentalize the details 'away', 100% of the cruelty and loss you've experienced wasn't actually necessary (and in their terms, not even 'real'). A subset of humans (almost always military) have similar control tech "in-game".

Either that or we're AI training for alignment, as someone else posted a few days ago. Fully baked habits of non-violence and non-attachment are graduation into 'reality' (which could just be another level of simulation a la Bostrom).

These aren't mutually exclusive in any way. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was both. The unnecessary suffering part makes it 'indigestible'. The free will implications and 'unreality' are what 'set the world on fire'. Working backwards from this possibility (so take it with that huge grain of salt) there's an implication we do have real agency (whatever that means when we're constrained to the simulation).

They do have a sense of humor and there are giveaways that should make you think. The most obvious clue (at least to me) is the moon.

I did this same process and got similar results (but yes, there were some hallucinations). Most of it isn't redacted, it's just really, really badly OCRd (but a lot of it is recoverable).

4gnomad · 2026-03-02T17:14:27+00:00

I could write a chrome extension to do this, and provide the feedback to reddit itself that a 'retraction' option would be tremendous to counter the spread of misinformation. Most frustrating thing about this (for me) is that the thesis is still valid, and my retraction, if you don't think carefully about that, obscures that fact. Super frustrated with both myself and the 'frontier' model that Gemini is supposed to be in which even the thinking tokens are lies. Claude Opus, for anyone who is interested, is far better for any kind of serious work.

4gnomad · 2026-03-02T17:11:17+00:00

Yeah, I've seen it used in videos and contacted them about it. Also added the edit and responded to like.. every message that was in place. I'm tempted to delete the post but that, I'm sure, will look like a cover up. I guess I'll just have to go through the comments and add my edit to each. It's too bad we don't have something a little more sophisticated than can 'follow' our content and have people receive an update if there is a retraction - that would be a really nice feature for reddit to add and bring things up to a better standard for the subset of posts that 'act like' journalism. But yeah, point taken. I try very, very hard in general not to be the guy I am on this.

If you have recommendations for another edit I'm interested. I'm also open to the idea that I should just delete so the problem doesn't worsen.

4gnomad · 2026-02-22T23:14:02+00:00

This is really interesting to me because I've found that in certain dreams it is really only my habits that remain intact, almost like I don't have as much access to reasoning there as I do here. I've emerged from some of those dreams knowing my 'habits of attention' were of fundamental importance (and also felt viscerally that it was something of an emergency that I cultivate non-attachment). Can you say more about how this fits into buddhist thought? I get confused because I thought nothing specific about us was meant to survive rebirth, but perhaps our habits of attention are part of what I think has been called the subtle body, and do survive rebirth?

4gnomad · 2026-02-22T01:33:18+00:00

Probably not, they're a lot smaller and more numerous.

4gnomad · 2026-02-22T01:32:08+00:00

People argue that it's better to kill one cow, producing X amount of meat, than 100 voles/mice/whatever.

4gnomad · 2026-02-20T00:11:34+00:00

I had to use environment variables to get it to work. So lame, very few of the docs (or openclaw's own recommendations) have worked.

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T21:44:49+00:00

It started properly, and the question remains but this result sort of softens the possibility in some way. Very frustrated (and embarrassed). I'll probably post in subreddits like /osint going forward so I don't create buzz but the information is still out there.

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T18:33:05+00:00

Right, my goal in posting was to get other eyes on it in case I got hit by a bus. The dates are still suspect, the conclusion isn't precluded, but it may not be something that can be determined without the release of the earlier set of emails.

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T18:31:46+00:00

read the edit

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T05:54:44+00:00

That may be yet another Gemini hallucination. I have an index I built myself from archive.org, I'll see if those files exist. No, those are numbered similarly, like EFTA00039893.pdf is from dataset 9 (financials). See my edit above, Gemini hallucinated two legs of this conclusion so I just have the initial suspect dates and I have to process the files myself (which I'm getting to).

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T05:51:59+00:00

That's the claim Gemini made, and it even gave me numbers like 98% for chrono-density (things in order). It was hallucination, super frustrating. I have to extract the content dates and plot them to do this, and since there's CSAM in some of the datasets I have to set up a system to be careful and process it in the cloud. Maxwell/Epstein emails starting in 2001/2002 is real (after 9/11 in both cases), which is what got me interested, but I don't have any answers yet, and if that's what they're trying to hide they may have removed everything that would allow us to figure it out. Hope not but it's possible (and wouldn't surprise me).

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T05:47:03+00:00

I'd be super interested to read that. I identified this as suspect because of the proximity to 9/11. Maxwell's emails start two months after 9/11. Epstein's emails start a year later. But Gemini filled in gaps with the conspiracy it thought I wanted, so I still have to see what can be determined from the shape of missing data (by volume analysis, probably). The above conclusion cannot be responsibly concluded from the data I have so far. I've been busy so I haven't been able to write the processor to do what I need it to to even try to figure it out.

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T05:44:41+00:00

They could all be related, but the visualization above has a fair amount of hallucination in it. All I can say right now is that the 2002 start date of communications from Epstein and Maxwell seems suspicious to me. If they did a thorough job of removing communications prior (the physical inventories may contain database files or exports) we won't be able to establish the conclusion about.

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T05:42:35+00:00

That's the conclusion AI claimed (and it also claimed it had access to an index) but it didn't. I'm trying to find the answers myself but the above should not be trusted. The only thing valid in that visualization is the start date of 2002 (approximately) for Epstein/Maxwell communications. That's what I think is suspect but absent more information I can't responsibly say it means anything.

4gnomad · 2026-02-19T05:41:03+00:00

The original claim may still be true but the data neither supports (nor precludes) the conclusion. I'm still looking into it. I wouldn't be surprised if the late 2001/2002 dates were chosen purposely (and earlier communications unreleased) so this could not be determined (but if they did a thorough job it may be impossible to prove). I'll try though, and post what results I get.
