Unexplained bulge has CBP flighty.
A man in a Miami airport seemed to want to achieve unheard of levels of flight by having a big bulge. No, he was not happy to see you. Nor did he have an idea to build a new thing called tweeter.
A would-be smuggler at Miami International Airport was caught with his pants down but not out on Sunday after he allegedly tried to smuggle 10 live birds in his underwear, according to PEOPLE. Alberto Hernandez Castillo, a Cuban native who’s a legal permanent resident of the United States, was apprehended after a flight from Cuba to Miami. He faces charges of smuggling goods – specifically eight yellow-faced Grassquits and two Blue Grosbeaks – and was released on a $25,000 US bond after appearing in Miami federal court, and will return on Oct. 26.
Al was giving the birds a trip along with a pecker which they probably thought was a large worm. Our would be smuggler really put some thoughts into the metaphor of “birds of a feather.”
Birds found in taped plastic tubes
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers allegedly found the birds in taped plastic tubes hidden inside black pockets sewn into his underwear.
CBP officers then noticed an “unexplained bulge” on the front of his pelvis/waist area and said he “appeared nervous.” The complaint alleges that, after being taken to a secure inspection area, a pat-down revealed the concealment of “six cylindrical clear plastic containers, each wrapped in tape and some with black mesh material affixed near the openings.”
The birds along were found along with possibly a large cock due to the actions of the CBP.
Hernandez Castillo alleged the birds were for his “personal use” before he used his right to remain silent.
As much as AL wanted to be like Soaring wings represent liberation and breaking away from limits. Unfortunately for AL the CBP was the early bird here and as much as AL wanted to Spread his wings the CBP clipped them.

RFK’s brain worm has likely eaten his Prefrontal Cortex
Some nights you just want to relax and I was just watching whatever. Moist Critical comes on and starts talking about RFK jr and his next weird thing, I personally believe in the dictionary RFK is the posterchild for weird. Bear corpses, Whale corpses, Raccoon penises, Swimming in sewerage and Now UFO’s.
1 minute, 26 seconds Interesting because you know during the transition I was living in Palm Beach and this group [snorts] sum approached me to talk about UAPs. Oh, really? Yeah. and they it was a very high level NASA scientist and then a bunch of Navy Seals and Green Berets who had been on recovery teams.
The fact that RFK says all of these people were in one area is very interesting, It’s Like a group that everyone hates each other but they work together but almost never. But for a “group” to approach him is pretty interesting because they likely violated so many laws in seconds that RFK holding this data would be shot for disclosure.
Robert is 26th United States Secretary of Health and Human Services and likely would not be privy to information by random members of the armed services saying they retrieved or shot down a UFO .. or UAP as they call it now.
Given what Robert says I am going to say this likely did not happen. there is so much constructively wrong with it.
In his account, Kennedy says he was living in Palm Beach when he was approached by a group that included a senior NASA scientist, Navy SEALs, and Green Berets who told him they had served on recovery teams. They allegedly described missions in which they had learned how to “call” certain craft, were then ordered to destroy them, and subsequently conducted organized retrieval operations. According to Kennedy, this group wanted him to go public with their claims.
Breaking this down: In his account, Kennedy says he was living in Palm Beach (when?) when he was approached by a group(where? A team like this doesn’t just show up at your door without causing a lot of attention) that included a senior NASA scientist(independent civilian agency) , Navy SEALs(Navy), and Green Berets(Army) who told him they had served on recovery teams. They allegedly described missions in which they had learned how to “call” certain craft(Who did they call .. Paramount?), were then ordered to destroy them(interesting that SETI did not pick up anything on this one at all) , and subsequently conducted organized retrieval operations. According to Kennedy, this group wanted him to go public with their claims.
The central questions he raises are whether the presence of NASA scientists and Navy SEALs in RFK Jr.’s account meaningfully increases the plausibility of reverse engineering programs, and what mechanisms exist to bring such individuals into formal testimony or interviews. In his view, the value of Kennedy’s story depends less on his public statements and more on whether those alleged insiders are ever identified, interviewed, and integrated into structured UAP investigations.
Given the fact that Robert has said this my believe is zero because if this had been a multidisciplinary mission with 3 or more groups involved any sense of security would of approached Zero , Moreover with the idea that UFO’s could be “summoned” is a far reach. The idea of trying to keep even two people quiet in the same room to preserve a secret is near impossible. if this were real this information would not of come out of a mid level government position it would of been locked at the POTUS level. Even so if RFK revealed “real” information there would of been so many clearance levels violated the idea of RFK seeing daylight in the rest of his lifetime would of been him under the spring stabilizers in Cheyenne mountain.
Given if you count the violations 3 groups that likely violated about 5 classifications each . The Factor or traveling together which is another violation . You don’t group critical level data holding folks together that just makes it very easy to make mistakes. If that group were to approach RFK they would not be able to take a dump without a SCIF . Between federal laws and UCMJ The whole group would of been locked away and only hear of the passing of Apophis in 2029.
But for me to understand this I would have to smoke a coffee. Just my opinion.

Crows are getting drugged out to the point of needing naloxone
Of all the weird things one could think about in a given day in the world of AI slop.. sometimes the real world says hold my beer.
An animal welfare group has been administering nasal naloxone to crows that are suspected to have eaten toxic drugs left accessible outside in downtown Prince George, B.C. The Good Caws Crow Rescue Society (GCCRS) has posted multiple videos showing their volunteers giving nasal naloxone to crows that are otherwise unresponsive.
Given these birds are finding opiates is scary. Worse yet, the trend is going up so these crows have a source.
Slayter said they’ve had one or two suspected drug overdoses a year in the past, but said they’ve recorded more than a dozen among crows this year alone, an alarming rise. “Their wings are spread out, their eyes are closed, their heartbeat slows right down. They’re unresponsive but alive,” is how she described the symptoms, adding some have a brown liquid foam coming out of their beaks.
At this point the Mounties need to get in with this group and tag a crow or two because at this point these birds have a source. if a tagged bird shows up again with an overdose they can trace the source. Sometimes people forget that animals other than humans get high, dolphins do it. so does every cat small and large and more animals.
She said she suspects the crows are accessing the drugs as they are mixed in with garbage that is openly available downtown. She said her suggestion for a solution is more covered garbage cans that would prevent crows from accessing disposed materials. “A crow doesn’t know the difference between a sandwich bag and a bag that had something in it. And it takes something the size of like a grain of sand to affect a bird,” she said.
I am going to beg to differ here, some animals enjoy getting high and while its not for everyone sometimes once someone or something starts doing it they don’t stop. It is crazy that when our human world bleeds over into the wild the things that happen. However I am glad that people are out there to help our Corvid friends.

Mad AI Disease is getting worse and they know it.
I have written about how AI is paralleling Mad Cow Disease and it is getting worse and OpenAI is proving it.
OpenAI has let go of multiple contractors tasked with reviewing chatbot prompts after finding out they relied on artificial intelligence to complete their assignments. Thousands of contractors check real ChatGPT user inputs to help improve the chatbot’s responses. They are meant to bring a natural human touch to the systems, yet several workers are skipping this step entirely. 404 Media found that multiple contractors hired to improve OpenAI’s models have been fired for using AI to carry out their work.
One of the issues with the current generation of LLMs is finding content that is human-created and not AI slop. Feeding LLMs bad or slop data triggers rapid functional decay. OpenAI hired people to try to stop this digital prion disorder from getting worse; instead, they tried to shortcut the process by using slop to stop AI from generating more slop. Right now, Obi-Wan is pleading with Anakin: ‘You were the Chosen LLM! It was said that you would destroy the slop, not join it! Bring balance to the model, not leave it in darkness!’
AI Trainers Risk Model Collapse
Some AI models can exhibit signs of ‘model collapse’, where systems trained repeatedly on AI-generated data can become increasingly degraded. Research published in Nature has found that indiscriminate use of model-generated content in training can cause models to lose information from the original data distribution.
Model collapse in my opinion is closer than we think. For every major AI maker to join together and say they need to slow down and at the same time to say to the government to stop them, it is a clue that AI makers are not saying what is going on. They need a lifeline and they are working hard to stop the outcome. If you have watched AI it peaked a few months ago and now the AI is getting worse little by little lately. It is missing on OCR, it is slightly off on more things now.
‘Our contracts strictly prohibit the use of LLMs to complete projects and we enforce that. We invest heavily in our tools and systems to detect misuse and ensure our experts comply with project rules and contract terms. When we confirm an expert has used AI to complete a task, we immediately remove them from the project.’
The problem is these AI auditors are stuck, they can’t even fart these days without having some AI close by, If you think about it making a call: AI; requesting chat help: AI; running a Google or Bing search: AI. These people cannot help but to feed the machine and make AI mad cow disease worse.

Schools: don’t use AI. School: Uses AI. Student: WTF?!
Stanford recently did something with AI that made students question themselves. Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises took a picture from a student and than used AI to race swap people in the picture.
On his journey to campus, Stanford student Billy Ramirez ’27 was sent an image he recalled a Stanford photographer taking. Upon closer examination, he noticed that he had been removed from the photo and replaced by a AI-generated black woman.
Billy got back to the futured by AI by the school and was removed from the picture he remembered he was in. This is funny because all schools have the mantra of “Do not use AI OR ELSE”.
Ramirez, who stated, “I was driving to school from my hometown when my friend sent me the images comparing the banner to the original photos, and I was immediately baffled. At first, I found it hilarious that they had used AI to completely change our appearances, including my race and gender. But after looking at the comparison, I was also upset because I don’t agree with Stanford making those choices about how we were represented. Seeing my identity changed and being left out of the picture made me feel, in a way, silenced and erased from a representation that was supposed to include me.”
Billy may be White, but according to every standard code of conduct a school operates under, they missed big here.
From the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, national origin), Title IX (sex), and specific state/university education codes.
Shall not on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, marital status, political or religious beliefs, family, social or cultural background, or sexual orientation, unfairly–
a:Exclude any student from participation in any program
b:Deny benefits to any student
c:Grant any advantage to any student
As silly as it may be Billy should be going to the title 9 office and making some noise, you do not just take a picture of someone than turn around with AI and race swap him out to a fake human. Stanford has photography classes. They could of pulled any number of real students to take the same photo again and had real people and real race inclusion but no they decided to just swap out Billy and swap in a hallucinated person who never went to Stanford.
Not only were Ramirez’s race and gender changed, but the two students to Ramirez’s right were distorted, making them appear visibly thinner. While this incident is humorous and generated thousands of reactions on Fizz, it offers an unsurprising insight into Stanford’s and its bureaucracy’s persisting ideological and racial preferences.
Stanford might want to tap their law professors at this point; while funny, they are walking into a legal buzzsaw if Billy or the other students object to their likenesses being manipulated.
In all this is the stupidest use of AI when they could have tapped any number of students to take a picture for R&DE and instead decided to blow a few KW of compute time to phase Billy out of this reality and made their own.

From the WTF did I just read files – Senator Claims Many Pilots, Flight Attendants Are Furries
I can’t believe I have to write about this.. but.
Well shit. Furries are flying now… wouldn’t that make them… Featheries? Hell if this new manufactured panic is real the senator could just call immigrants from Ohio and this shit will clean it self up? I mean hell based on what people think about furries they would be attracted to the Cock pit. Perhaps a litterbox is needed, Oh wait those are in classrooms supposedly.
But for fucks sake, If you are going to do this show us a single picture. because I have a few questions depend on your point of view if 2 furries are the problem out of 3,472,394,793 pilots and the subjective use of the word “many” this is the most horseshit fake moral panic ever. What pilots do in their free time is what they do in their free time, I don’t give a shit unless they don’t have a pilots license. Only than we can panic.

OpenAI report reveals skills AI cant do also-bi-cant-decide-on-a-title
Ed Note: This image was generated with AI and it’s a fever dream.
Business insider wrote about OpenAI. if you look up at the link at the top you could tell they had a more critical title ” openai reveals workplace skills ai cant automate easily 2026 9″ Is what you could pull from the link it self, Business insider could not decide on the title of their own article.
OpenAI recently published one of the clearest signals yet about which workplace skills may become most valuable in the AI era. In a report on how its researchers use AI, the company shared data showing which tasks are being absorbed by AI and which still rely on people.
This report is going to bite OpenAI in the end, for a few reasons the thing is yes OpenAI can do the task but the task will be done exactly the same as any other company that does it so any qualities that stand out from one business to the next will not be there. Eventually when all retailers start seeing sales drop they will hire back the humans for the one thing AI does not have, Guts and intuition.
The biggest automation gains this year came in coding, technical support, monitoring computer runs, and analyzing results. By contrast, AI is still doing relatively little work deciding what projects to pursue, where to invest resources, or how to set priorities.
Sure AI works for Vibe Coding but the problem with vibe coding is if the AI absorbs an exploit, you will see 10 companies hacked by the same exploit in the same day versus the one company that gets hacked with poor coding practices. Also as LLMs take up more information people will work harder to poison the LLM to push bad code to devs.
Companies can measure whether code was written, products shipped, or bugs fixed, making those tasks easier to automate. Deciding what should be built in the first place is harder. It requires judgment, context, tradeoffs, and a willingness to take risks.
As OpenAI put it: “People still set our research priorities, judge which ideas and results to pursue, and decide whether to scale, pause, or deploy systems.” In other words, the future of human work may shift away from execution and toward making the right decisions.
For every decisions that is made here there is an equal and opposite decision to work against the same exact thing which reinforces my above opinions. OpenAI, Sam Altman and the rest thing AI is the farts and butterflies of the universe and that it will be the best thing since sliced bread. But Sam Altman forgets to say that AI is using hideous amounts of electricity, Driving memory prices up, Driving electronics market wide up by margins not seen since the early 2000s. So when a data Center is dumped in backyards with noise pollution, water pollution and generally driving up power prices while a town has a private contract that citizens have to take up the slack.

Outsourced Idiocy: What Happens When You Let AI Autocomplete Run Your Clinic newsletter..
I was going through my emails and saw an email and it made me stop and read it.
If you’ve recently had a mammogram screening for breast cancer, well done!
Well now, last time I checked I did not have breast but.. Ok?
Regular screening is the best way to detect breast cancer at an early stage when it is easiest to treat and cure. Yet there’s a chance you may get called back for additional imaging.
This gets a “no shit sherlock” from me but the target audience was massively missed here, I am not part of the Genetics that has a 1 in 8 chance of having this issue. Honestly, if this were done by a real person this would of never hit my email box from the health provider. Instead this feels like it was fed into an AI by a “vibe Manager” and they typed “make me an email about breast cancer month and have it have the maximum outreach.
This can be nerve-wracking but try to remember the vast majority of people we call back do not end up having breast cancer.
The dumb-fuckery here reaches its maximum with the fright call here. Even though it says about calling back this is an afterthought that should be left alone or reworded. The wording could of been more humanized by saying “Some times we call back people to get more clear screening, Have no fear we are hear to help you every step of the way.
Hell… I am all for mammograms for women but blasting this one out to everyone is going to create phone calls to doctors from the wrong gender asking “do I need a mammogram” wasting precious time and PA’s sanity.
This email falls flat and fails completely on raising awareness on women’s issues.
WTF now… Post Site Maintenance. Time for a change.. Part III
I honestly thought I was done with this, I decided tonight to eliminate my billing from the original host and just have all my billing in one place. Never have any expectation of anything you don’t have high expectations for because when you think they are at their lowest they will go out of the way to prove you wrong and go lower.
I have one recommendation and Normally I don’t go looking for a fight. Avoid Hostgator, They overcharge, they use the same SAAS that other companies are using, like charging for emails. They have a Tech support end that is just a bunch of screen reading salesdrones trying to get you for another few dollars. The second you go off script with these guys they have no idea what to do. The thing is .. HostGator used to be an OK company and now they are looking to extract income from every angle they can from people who are either to lazy or don’t know enough about web development to open a website. Nothing against either because having a business do the hard part while you learn how to make a website is good, There is nothing better than a good handhold. I did the same when I learned HTML back in the day of ancient history.
But HostGator’s enshittification since their buyout has been a breakneck speed and they are failing faster than a door on a 737 MAX. All I wanted to do was finalize some movement on leftover stuff on HostGator , Instead I am dealing with dragging emails out of my file from 20 years ago, and other email from 17 years ago. Having tech support try to put the problem on me and than stick me with regulatory locks. This is not the way you keep a customer , this is how you make customer run! Talk about a failure of a good host, gone are the days of a bunch of guys running a webserver out of their homes to a mega conglomerate trying to say what else we can make a profit off of. The bunch of guys who made this from their uni must be cringing when they watch their empire crumble.
Give or take I had been with Hostgator for over 20 years, Wasted who the fuck knows how much money and they act like I am customer that walked in yesterday. They have had my information since the first man to open the hosting site in his University and they cant set up a profile right?

Uncontrolled AI could lead to Keanu Reeves…
The head of Microsoft AI has warned that without adequate safeguards, the development of AI could lead to the emergence of a new “silicon species” which competes with humans.
Mustafa Suleyman said rival firm Anthropic is treating AI like it is human, an approach he called “misguided” which could create technology that humanity cannot control.
Speaking to the BBC’s Today programme, the chief executive said it was “right” for people to be concerned about AI, but there were “very practical things that we can do” to control it.
Microsoft says a lot of things and does a lot of things but this one is load of horse shit. It feels like all of the heads of Corps are getting together to make their own AI doomerisms to freak out the people who don’t understand AI. Mustafa Suleyman must be rich because the man has never heard of a light switch, AI for what it’s worth will never grow outside of its building because the first thing that happens is the off switch will be hit and the machine doesn’t die slowly it dies instantly.
The comments are the latest in a series of stark warnings from the AI industry about the technology’s possible dangers. Anthropic has been approached for comment.Speaking to the Today programme on Thursday, Suleyman warned against firms continuing to create AI systems capable of setting their own objectives, earning money and owning assets.That would mean “essentially seeding a new silicon species”, he said, which could “no doubt compete with us for resources, no matter how much it cares about humanity and loves us”.
Again these guys are either huffing their own farts or have missed the last 20 years of stock trading because algorithmic stock trading is a thing. The funny part is the AI will still be a slave to someone, whether it be the electric company, Nvidia, Micron, or a rubber factory. The AI is not going to be able to take up the resources to be able to keep itself alive, give or take even on enterprise level hardware it will fail in less than 3 years.
“AIs are not conscious,” he wrote. “They do not feel, experience, or suffer. They do not have innate preferences or underlying motivations.
Given that AI’s may not feel but they are just as likely as humans to end up with viruses and will eventually get so bad off that the machine will hallucinate itself to death if you make it eat up its own slop. The paradox will not kill the AI , the Slop will.
The Microsoft boss said greater transparency was needed around how AI systems are trained and evaluated. This, he said, included independent scrutiny of AI behaviour and stronger tools to monitor and control the technology. “We must not sleepwalk our way into a decision we later come to bitterly regret,” he wrote.
The weird thing about this whole cabal of LLM bosses coming out wholesale and saying all of this is I think they want to be regulated, If you are regulated you are protected and coming out with this star trek level of bullshit of the LLM Terraflopiticon Intelacore Interpalex machine will come alive and cause Skynet to become active and judgement day of cookies and milk to take over the planet in raw cookie dough to poison all humans will come about.
Speaking to the BBC about an upcoming AI summit, Suleyman called for “alignment” to create technology that must be “subordinate” to humanity. Alignment is a field which aims to build human ethical ideas and principles into AI. In other words, it aims to keep it on track with what humans value.
Well I guess x is out of the deal because we’ve almost spawned Mecha-Hitler and that went about as well as anyone could think it could go. The fact is Suleyman is asking for something that could be bought for 2 dollars at the home depot called a “switch”. It is a high tech thing that could control the world.
Suleyman’s comments reflect Microsoft’s initial draft of its Humanist AI Code of Conduct, a “training manual” published on Monday for how the company is developing its AI, which sets out the idea of “humanist superintelligence”. This, the code states, is “very advanced AI that always works for people, stays within limits, and remains under human control”.
I hate to keep picking on Suleyman here but this is too easy.. 1942.. We’ve had the training manual since 1942.
Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics
The Three Laws
Third Law: A robot must protect itself, provided this does not conflict with the First or Second Law
First Law: A robot cannot harm a human or allow one to come to harm through inaction.
Second Law: A robot must obey human orders, unless they conflict with the First Law.
Actually 4 laws… but who’s counting because Suleyman sure isn’t.
The Zeroth Law
Zeroth Law, which takes precedence over the others to protect humanity as a whole. (added in 1985)
There.. A man in 1942 did something that AI LLM devs are asking for and they are not even paying the fuck attention. The fact i had to write this post is amazing… I’m going back to making my coffee. Not to mention Andrew Martin would like to have a word with Suleyman..
