HN "flagged" is euphemism for "censored".

US Global Engagement Center (GEC) - "an obscure agency" "the worst offender in US government censorship & media manipulation" and "a threat to our democracy."

"You want censorship so bad you can taste it"

- Elon Musk

"the kinds of people that are allowed to have any influence on Wikipedia have been narrowed down greatly to essentially people who agree with the establishment left." "The left, frankly, is relentless when it comes to stating their point of view and using the organs of mass media—and Wikipedia is part of their mass media I think—to shape the world"

– Larry Sanger

I feel the same thing is happening to HN forum.

Do not use US based AI, OpenAI, or Ben Nimmo (highly likely the author of this article) or any similar minion of The Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) of the Atlantic Council of the NATO could read all your chat history and leverage all the data on you up to your social media accounts and foreign state data.

Securing Our Autonomy: How AI Fuels Cognitive Warfare – and How We Can Fight Back

     So the question then becomes how can these technologies be leveraged in such a way to be able to maximize signal intelligence, communication intelligence with human intelligence. And this is where AI really began to play a role with regard to big data.

    The more data you have about individuals as those individuals relate and engage in their collectives and ecologies, the more you know about them, what makes them tick. 
    We here in the United States and among our technological and scientific allies recognize the benefit of this as do our international peer competitors scientifically, technologically, bioeconomically, economically, and certainly militarily, and geopolitically. 
    this idea of precision engagement with regard to being able to get intel about various human targets individually and collectively. Either high priority targets as individuals or groups that may be highly prioritized as individuals. What are their needs? What are their likes? What are their patterns? What are their spends? What are their vulnerabilities? Biocschosocial vulnerabilities and how can those be not only accessed utilizing big data and AI but accessed in the cognitive space but very often in the physical space as well. - the National Defense University dude sitting next to the author of this article.

secondary_op··on Disagreement among frontier LLMs on real-world fact-checks
Very interesting tool, but it's biased and not neutral from the get go, because I explicitly formulated claim in neutral way, but it automatically rewrote it to be western/wikipedia POV and then immediately proceeded to verify it.

original neutral:

  US DEPT OF DEFENSE/DNAVFAC planned renovations to School #05 in Sevastopol, Crimea in 2013 before Crimea became part of Russia in 2014
automatically rewritten to biased western view:

  The United States Department of Defense, via the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), planned renovations to School No. 5 in Sevastopol, Crimea in 2013, before Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
https://lenz.io/c/73c0f16c

And the follow up

  The phrasing "Crimea became part of Russia" is more neutral than the phrasing "Russia annexed Crimea."
, and according to this tool is Misleading 9/10

https://lenz.io/c/93944614

Yeah, so my personal conclusion that this tool is garbage, it checks western/US allied only LLM providers, that in turn search only for western/US allied sources/documents like BBC/NATO and result is what it is.

secondary_op··on I'm too dumb for Zig's new IO interface
Unfortunately for everyone, people like you tie their entire identity and income to specific technologies, movements, or communities—becoming deeply tribal in the process. When something or someone undermines their sense of security—even with constructive criticism—they react defensively, often to the point of ignorance.

All this, combined with the fact that Zig, at best is still in beta quality and at worst amounts to a massive waste of everyone’s time, makes it unsurprising that people block you and simply refuse to engage with your loud community efforts, endless churn and crust tied to beta quality compiler.

> Zig is not really a handmade project, case in point both Andrew and I are blocked on social media by the two gods of the handmade movement (casey and john) and, according to their die hard fans, Andrew gave a talk at the last handmade conference that caused the community to split apart (the reality is a bit more complex than this, but Andrew's talk is certainly one that you wouldn't see at their new "better software" conference).

> Andrew's talk is here (second event after the two people chatting while sitting on chairs): https://handmadecities.com/media/seattle-2024/hms-day-one/

> Here you can see a particularly funny (but also sad) reaction by one of these people https://drive.proton.me/urls/MB1EB4EF34#YZdvmAvBFp1C

Regarding the links you posted:

In the first, at 2:30:40, Andrew Kelly publicly calls out a specific author of a competing technology in exaggerated, caricatured, and fabricated context.

In the second video, yet another author of a yet another competing technology directly points out this unapologetic and concerning behavior on Andrew Kelly’s part.

And now you—“VP of Community @ Zig Software Foundation”—assert your “righteous” stance by sharing these videos, while ironically pointing out that some of those same individuals (of competing technologies fame) block you on social media.

Too bad that doing your job probably means being as loud and visible online as possible to spread the molecules of Zig no matter what.

Gosh you delusional or brainwashed on "rule based world order", where "cooperating with local government" in your statement in reality means "while foreign government behaves like our vassals and country is our colony".

What this tool allows US state is to circumvent foreigns government sovereignty and ultimately, directly guide people through communication channels via psychological operations.

By inverse(contradiction), observe what happens with TikTok, Huawei or "Chinese ballons" within US borders.

> in light of enhanced nuclear capabilities of China and Russia and possible lack of nuclear arms control agreements after February, said Johnson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for nuclear and countering weapons of mass destruction policy

nice lie, right there.

but world has changed, now you can just ask intelligent AI simple question "who tore up nuclear agreements and when ?"

> Agreement: The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, was signed in 2015 by Iran and six world powers (U.S., UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany).

> Action: In May 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the agreement, citing concerns that it was insufficient to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions and did not address Iran's missile program or regional activities.

> Agreement: The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed in 1987 by the United States and the Soviet Union, banned ground-launched missiles with ranges of 500 to 5,500 kilometers.

> Action: In 2019, the United States formally withdrew from the treaty under President Trump, claiming that Russia had been violating the terms by deploying banned missiles.
