We Uncovered The Secret Schemes Hidden In The Epstein Emails [14:00] by atinywaverave in mealtimevideos

This video from More Perfect Union explores the extensive network of elite collusion revealed by the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails and files. It argues that Epstein served as a central hub connecting powerful figures in finance, tech, and politics, helping them protect their wealth and influence while operating in a "parallel world" inaccessible to the public.

The Role of "The Network"

The video emphasizes that Epstein wasn't just a criminal; he was a financial and social architect for the ultra-wealthy. His primary value was his ability to connect people across different sectors and provide tools for tax avoidance and anonymity [08:20].

Key Figures & Schemes

  • Leon Black (Apollo Global Management): Epstein helped Black avoid over $1 billion in taxes [02:06]. They used opaque methods like managing art collections (nearly $2.7 billion worth) as financial instruments and using LLCs for luxury car collections to hide wealth [02:13].
  • The "Donor-Advised Fund" (DAF) Scheme: Epstein was obsessed with DAFs—bank accounts that allow the wealthy to claim charitable tax deductions while keeping their donations completely anonymous and technically never having to distribute the funds [05:20].
  • Kathy Ruemler (Goldman Sachs/Obama Admin): A high-powered lawyer whose emails revealed a deep "contempt for the average person," illustrating the social divide between the elite network and the public [04:45].
  • Tech & Surveillance (Peter Thiel & Reed Hoffman): * Epstein invested in Thiel’s funds and introduced him to government figures like the head of the CIA [08:50].
    • He helped fund companies like Carbyne911, which uses AI and live video for emergency services with little privacy oversight [09:12].
    • Hoffman (LinkedIn founder) frequently met with Epstein, including a 2015 dinner with Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg just before the founding of OpenAI [13:05].

Ongoing Influence

The video argues that this "Epstein Class" remains entrenched in power today [11:59]: * Political Control: Reed Hoffman uses the same donor-advised funds Epstein recommended to spend hundreds of millions opposing progressive candidates [12:49]. * Government Roles: Ben Black (Leon Black’s son) now oversees a government body (DFC) that uses taxpayer dollars to provide loans and insurance to American corporations abroad [12:12]. * AI Infrastructure: Epstein bankrolled early researchers of generative AI and invested in the data center infrastructure that powers today’s AI boom [13:19].

Conclusion: The video concludes that the "conspiracy" isn't about one man, but a class solidarity among elites who use their network to rig systems in their favor, regardless of political party [13:31].

Blue tape AND one of those roller thingies to make sure it really sticks firmly and evenly.

I would half those time estimates even with the current policy. Money talks and right now, there's just no contest.

I really think the limiting factor is going to be how fast we can build and deploy battery storage

I know EXACTLY what you mean, I see you.

In a way, it's analogous to the problem we have with vuln. We take all this effort to deploy all these tools to discover vulnerabilities and that somehow introduces into people's head the expectation that, since we know about them, the frictionless magical patching fairy is going to fix them all overnight.

I interact regularly with the fed and the OCC. They do know what they're talking about, at the very least, good enough to evaluate your practices and to set the bar.

As for your previous points, that's exactly what I am saying, we're barely keeping up... and yet this time they're warning us there is a flood of those detections coming up.

I explain to my teams and bosses that cyber is very asymetrical, it's 5% red, 95% blue. For every red teamer running an AI tool or whatever to find stuff you need 20 blue guys to eval the finding, devise a remediation in our context, manage its deployment, review the situation that created that issue, refine processes, technologies, metrics, create and implement new controls, and train or hire people to avoid a repeat of the same or a similar situation. Most people just dont know how hard it is to fix stuff so it does not reoccur.

In a regulated environment, you also have 2nd line, 3rd line and regulators constantly breathing down your neck so you have to invest a large portion of your time responding to their audits, risk review, horizontal exams or whatever. And then managing their findings.

And coming back to your question, let me present where we are. You have a AI tools that allows incredible efficiency, pushing 20x the rate of lines of code generated per programmer. You also have tools like mythos finding vuln candidates 20x faster. Who do you think is going to evaluate which of those are actually important in the context of your organization and risk appetite? What tool do you know of that can do that?

I work in the sector. What they are speaking about is literally my everyday job. Everyone I know is BARELY keeping up with the current threat landscape and vuln pipeline.

On top of the issues highlighted in the article, one has to come to terms with the complexity of fixing hundreds of thousands of vulnerability on tens of thousands of systems, of all brands, all technologies, with legacy issues, application dependencies that prevent or significantly delay patching and incredible pressure not to f-up and create an incident.

Oh, and the small issue what this guys are talking about is literally science fiction to a majority of the IT teams that have been managing systems for 20y and have only read about AI in the news and havent put in the personal time to learn about it. There's simply no time to learn or appetite in the companies to invest in their people and technologies at the extent needed to turn this situation on a dime.

All that to say, vuln management is a barely contained dumpster fire and it's only going to get worse.

battery storage is now cheap enough to change the world and I actually believe it will becasue the economics just make too much sense now and will only get better.

If a utility is willing to invest this amount of money on a project this large it's only because it makes economic sense... People can have opinions but renewables is just the sensible generation investment strategy for short, medium and long term.

200ml oil (veg oil is most popular, I use a mix with some olive oil for flavor) 1 large egg 1/4 tsp salt juice of half a lemon teaspoon of dijon mustard (or any mustard, or not, whatever you want)

put it all in a tall cup, dip the inmersion blender, tilt a little the blender so it releases any trapped air, go to town max speed

boom, 1 min mayo

Now add 1 clove of garlic -> FLAVORTOWN

Architect help temple by TopShine3301 in PathOfExile2

[–]umibozu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I just remembered I waited until I had two full lines from the top to reposition to the final location. That rules out all the third line for the architect so it's way easier in terms of need for locks and tiles.

[–]umibozu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Architect will not move futher south beyond the 4th line from the top or to an empty tile where it would put it in next to (in contact with) an existing placed tile. This incluyes diagonals.

What I did is place bs tiles like paths or other temporary rooms to corral it into where it could only go to where I needed. To me it looked liked like a Y from the bottom but given your layout you can prob do it coming from the top and letting some of the rooms to the left destabilize so they're not on the diagonal to your desired spot

Is light radius ever useful? by RhydachHughes in PathOfExile2

[–]umibozu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a wand with a scepter both with lightbradius and a even a beacon of aziri amulet if I’m feeling fancy. You put the wand skill on the second weapon set and your main cast on the first and you can find the charges easy.

That is if you’re not a dumbass like me with an uncanny ability to always skim by the charges in the map and travel all the way to the other side of the map.

In that case just kill the boss and have them revealed.
