How AI works in the real-world — Ron Unz
OpenAI Text Summary
In recent months, Ron Unz has been extensively utilizing OpenAI’s Deep Research AI for fact-checking his controversial articles, which often explore contentious historical topics like the JFK assassination, 9/11 attacks, and the origins of COVID-19. This advanced AI system, known for its computational resources and depth in research, has become an invaluable tool for Unz, allowing him to substantiate his claims and refine his body of work. Despite its limitations, such as occasional failures in processing complex inquiries and producing garbled outputs, the AI has consistently validated a significant portion of Unz’s assertions, providing a level of confidence in his work that he believes will encourage readers to engage with his findings.
Unz’s articles touch on various controversial subjects, often challenging mainstream narratives. He asserts that the AI’s analyses have generally confirmed the accuracy of his claims, particularly regarding politically sensitive issues, including allegations about the influence of Israeli intelligence in major historical events. For instance, he highlights the AI’s positive evaluations of his pieces on the assassination of prominent figures and the role of sexual blackmail in politics, emphasizing how it has supported his conclusions with credible evidence. This validation serves to bolster his position in a landscape where many of his views are dismissed or ridiculed, especially by the mainstream media.
However, Unz also notes that the AI’s evaluations can be inconsistent, especially concerning topics deemed sensitive or controversial, such as the Holocaust narrative. While the AI has largely endorsed his factual claims, it issued strong critiques when his articles contained skepticism regarding established historical accounts. This discrepancy raises questions about the potential biases ingrained in the AI’s programming, suggesting that it might be conditioned to respond negatively to certain subjects while maintaining a more favorable stance on others. Unz points out that when his articles focus comprehensively on controversial subjects, the AI tends to validate them more favorably, which could indicate an underlying complexity in how the AI processes sensitive content.
The broader implications of Unz’s findings extend into the realm of AI ethics and the reliability of automated fact-checking systems. His experiences suggest that while AI can significantly enhance research and verification processes, it must be carefully monitored to avoid biases that could distort factual accuracy. As Unz continues to publish articles that challenge mainstream narratives, the interplay between his provocative hypotheses and the AI’s evaluations highlights the importance of rigorous scrutiny in both human and machine-generated analyses. The ongoing dialogue about the role of AI in journalism and research, particularly in relation to controversial topics, remains a critical area for future exploration.

America’s top banker reveals Wall Street’s hottest new trend that could spell financial doom – as he goes all in
On the same day Dimon raised the alarm with clients about the risks, JPMorgan released a statement confirming it was increasing its ‘direct lending commitment to $50 billion.’
‘This strategic move is designed to extend the firm’s direct lending capabilities and provide tailored private credit solutions to meet the evolving needs of clients,’ the firm said.
Under the new plan, corporate clients have the option to either take on a traditional loan or a private lending option, which could grant them access to more cash but see them saddled with a higher interest rate.
‘Since 2021, J.P. Morgan has successfully deployed over $10 billion across more than 100 private credit transactions, serving both corporate and sponsor clients,’ JPMorgan said in a February statement.
‘This latest commitment underscores the bank’s dedication to being a leader in both the broadly syndicated and private credit markets.’
JPMorgan holds onto private loans and collects interest until it matures.

AI could create a ‘Mad Max’ scenario where everyone’s skills are basically worthless, a top economist says
As AI reshapes the labor market, the real threat may not be unemployment — it could be something subtler and more corrosive: the collapse in what skills are worth.
That’s according to MIT economist David Autor, who made the comments in an interview released Wednesday on the “Possible” podcast.
Autor warned that rapid automation could usher in what he calls a “Mad Max” scenario — a world where jobs still exist, but the skills that once generated wages become cheap and commoditized.
“The more likely scenario to me looks much more like Mad Max: Fury Road, where everybody is competing over a few remaining resources that aren’t controlled by some warlord somewhere,” he said.
Properly managed, the world should end up with enormous abundance, such that no one has to work much or work at all. I tend to believe elites will eventually become tired of their greed and status competition and, thus, be more inclined to use global wealth to everyone’s advantage. This may take a long time, but as new generations arise and digital babies become common, Darwinian instincts will be weakened or replaced by new insights. ABN
The Epstein case as seen from a global game theory perspective
__________
This is basically it. Release of the Epstein evidence to the public could lead to unprecedented national and international upheaval. Yes, maybe Trump was a perp but I very seriously doubt it.
If you see the Epstein story as something bigger, involving more than one nation, you might see it as a Commander in Chief issue, meaning the public is not meant to have the full story, similar to most national defense issues. We elect a president to decide — in part — what the public can safely see.
I agree. If Trump released the evidence it probably would constitute a very serious KOBK own goal. ABN
Trump on Epstein and Bondi
What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Libertarians’ Jewish Dilemma Fuels Genocide and Nuclear War
OpenAI Text Summary
The article discusses the historical and contemporary roles of three prominent Jewish libertarians—Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, and Ludwig von Mises—in shaping libertarian thought and their connections to the ruling elite. Friedman and Rand are noted for their strong Jewish identities and Zionist beliefs, while Mises, although rooted in his Jewish heritage, emphasized individual freedom over ethnic concerns. The piece delves into the broader libertarian critique of the state, which is portrayed as an oppressive force driven by an exploitative ruling elite that privatizes gains while socializing losses. This elite is accused of manipulating public perception to support its policies, leading to perpetual conflict and the looming threat of nuclear warfare.
The author argues that exposing the ruling elite’s machinations is essential for reducing state power and preventing war. However, libertarian scholars often shy away from this analysis due to fears of being labeled as conspiratorial or politically incorrect. The article highlights Murray Rothbard as a notable exception, who actively critiqued the ruling elite’s influence and sought to understand its dynamics without succumbing to mainstream taboos. Rothbard’s contributions are framed as an essential framework for analyzing the intersection of economic interests and political power, emphasizing that elite actors engage in purposeful, self-interested behavior rather than acting randomly.
Rothbard identified three ethnic power blocs within the ruling elite: the WASP elite, the Jewish elite, and the Rockefeller dynasty. Each bloc is characterized by its distinct cultural and economic foundations, contributing to a complex interplay of competition and collaboration among these groups. The article elaborates on how these power blocs have historically influenced U.S. foreign policy and domestic governance, particularly during the World Wars, where their conflicting interests dictated the alignment of the U.S. in global conflicts. Rothbard’s analysis suggests that while these factions often cooperated for mutual benefit, their internal rivalries also shaped the course of American history.
The discussion shifts to the role of the Jewish elite in shaping state behavior, particularly in the context of the modern geopolitical landscape. The article posits that the Jewish elite has historically leveraged their position to navigate power dynamics while maintaining a distinct identity. The rise of neoconservative influence within the Republican Party is highlighted as a significant shift, with Rothbard noting the increasing prominence of Jewish interests in shaping U.S. foreign policy towards Israel and broader Middle Eastern engagements. The conclusion emphasizes the current geopolitical tensions and the need for libertarians to critically engage with the ruling elite’s influence, especially as conflicts in Gaza and elsewhere escalate, posing risks of genocide and nuclear war. The author calls for a more open discourse within libertarian circles regarding the Jewish elite’s role, arguing that self-censorship could lead to dire consequences for global peace and individual freedoms.
