The Ukrainian-American entrepreneur, who acquired OnlyFans in 2018, passed away peacefully on March 20 in Pompano Beach, Florida, after a long illness, the company confirmed Monday. Radvinsky, worth up to $8 billion, turned the platform into a revenue machine that paid creators billions and delivered him over $700 million in dividends last year alone. His family has asked for privacy, leaving the company’s future leadership uncertain as reactions pour in from shock to tributes for his business achievements.

Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is
They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day.
A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence. No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible.
When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside.
700,000 animals are already wearing them.
They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it.
Now read the technology again without the word cow..
24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days.
$2 billion. And guess who led the investment…
Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military.
His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that.
They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test…
How will they get the chips into us? I suppose if you haven’t been chipped you won’t be able to access your digital allowance or cross digital boundaries. In that sense, the chip will be ‘voluntary’ and no one will force you to accept it, just as no one ‘forced’ anyone to take the covid bioweapon vax. Our digital allowance will surely be based on our social credit scores. ABN
The United States military used an advanced artificial intelligence system to help strike roughly 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its campaign against Iran, relying on technology developed by Palantir and Anthropic, according to a report by The Washington Post.
The system, known as the Maven Smart System, is built by data-mining company Palantir and processes large volumes of classified intelligence data from satellites, surveillance platforms and other sources, the report said, citing three people familiar with the system.
According to the report, the platform generated real-time targeting insights and prioritised strike locations during the campaign in Iran.
The deployment of the technology has come alongside a policy dispute between the US government and Anthropic.
Hours before the bombing campaign against Iran began, US President Donald Trump announced a ban on the use of Anthropic’s AI tools across government agencies, according to The Washington Post.
The administration has given agencies six months to phase out the company’s technology, following disagreements over how the systems could be used, particularly in mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, the report said.
Palantir AI + Claude was used to detect, prioritize, and strike over 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of Operation against IRAN.
The success was so ridiculous, so game-changing, that the Pentagon didn’t even wait.
What used to be just a pilot project, just something they were testing out… suddenly became official, permanent, and everywhere.
Palantir is now the core AI brain of the entire U.S. military. It’s getting rolled out across ALL branches.
Tesla‘s first semi-truck has officially hit the road, with a handful of drivers saying a key feature may have changed the industry.
Elon Musk‘s clean energy company will begin shipping its new semi-trucks this summer, with up to 15,000 expected to hit the road in 2026.
But some drivers have already gotten their hands on the vehicle and have given rave reviews for its off-the-wall features including a centered driving position.
The trucks also have rearview cameras and fast charging.
They are advertised as reaching a 60 percent battery capacity in just 30 minutes and travel 500 miles on a single charge.
Drivers who tested the vehicle said the range of each charge was a ‘game changer’
Motorcyclists face the highest risk of fatal crashes in Florida, Texas, and Colorado, respectively.
Motorcycle fatalities are up 11% in the last 3 years.
In 2022, there were 6,219 motorcycle fatalities in the U.S. due to crashes.
Texas had the highest average annual motorcycle fatality rate at 13.69 deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles. This is followed by Arkansas (12.79) and Missouri (11.51).
South Dakota experienced a 45% reduction in motorcycle crash fatalities between 2020-2022, the largest decrease of all U.S. states.
Harley-Davidson riders were the least likely to wear a helmet across different motorcycle makes, with 48% of those in fatal crashes not wearing one. But, their drivers were least likely to be speeding or racing, with only 9% doing so.
Reasonable and informative overview, unfortunately lacking per capita breakdown. Harley riders are least likely to wear a helmet due to the dumbass culture surrounding Harley. They are also the least likely to die while speeding or racing, due to the slowness of the bikes. I actually own a Harley Pan America (which is not slow) and enjoy it very much. Motorcycles in general define a subculture, and within that subculture there are many sub-subcultures. The Harley subculture is an example of how intransigent cultures can be. It has remained largely the same for many decades. The weird part of that is the Harley brand is the hardass maverick rider who does his own thing, while in reality it’s nothing more than a highly conformist style, which includes not wearing helmets. Still, I like Harley guys and all motorcycles. Besides helmets, very good body armor and airbag vests are available for all riders. ABN
The revelation of the US operation marks a dramatic turn in a perplexing case that has divided US intelligence agencies for years, according to a new report by CBS’ 60 Minutes.
The secret operation used undercover Homeland Security agents to purchase the miniaturized microwave weapon from a Russian criminal network for about $15 million in 2024.
The weapon was described by CBS sources as a small, portable, concealable and unlike a traditional gun.
The mystery device is silent, does not generate heat like a microwave oven, can be programmed for different scenarios, operated remotely, and has a beam range of several hundred feet. It can reportedly penetrate windows and drywall.
The ‘Havana Syndrome’ phenomenon began in 2016 when American diplomats, CIA spies and military personnel reported sudden, crippling symptoms.
CBS News said it did not see the weapon itself, but sources described it as small, portable, concealable and unlike a traditional gun.
The ‘key,’ sources told the program, is not just the hardware but the software – code that shapes ‘a unique, electromagnetic wave that rises and falls abruptly and pulses rapidly.’
Symptoms of Havana Syndrome include loud noise, ear pain, intense head pressure or vibration, dizziness, visual problems, and cognitive difficulties
I do not believe for one second USA did not know about this weapon. It is interesting that it can be made so small, something I did not know but am not surprised to learn. Ofc, a weapon like this sold by a ‘Russian criminal network’ is going to be well-known and owned by many intelligence agencies, both governmental and private. Attacking opponents with this sort of weapon can disable them for years, and discredit them permanently. I am sure there are many subtle levels of damage available for hostile use. We can be sure this news is coming out now for reasons other than gee-whiz or just coming clean; but I am not sure what they are. Gentle reader, do not be so naive as to think weapons like this are not used widely to disable opponents of whichever gang owns them. Covert, internecine violence in USA and throughout the West is much, much, much higher than most realize. A great deal of covert violence is done to young people, especially boys and young men, because it is close to impossible to identify what has happened to them. If your gang wants to take over USA and rule the world, they would not stop at culling the strongest and most talented young people, who might grow up to oppose them, by using weapons like this. ABN
For decades, we’ve been looking to the skies for any sign of aliens – but it turns out we may have been missing attempts at contact.
A new study has cast doubt on our radio signal detection methods, arguing that ‘space weather’ could be distorting incoming transmissions.
Until now, most experiments have focused on identifying spikes in radio frequency – signals unlikely to be produced by any other natural processes in space.
But experts have highlighted an overlooked complication.
Even if an extraterrestrial transmitter produces a perfectly narrow radio signal, it may not remain narrow by the time it leaves its home star’s atmosphere.
This distortion, which happens near the point of origin, can ‘smear’ the signal’s frequency, meaning it can be missed by our detectors that are primed to search for more focused radio waves.
‘Searches are often optimized for extremely narrow signals,’ Dr Vishal Gajjar, astronomer at the SETI Institute and lead author of the paper, said.
‘If a signal gets broadened by its own star’s environment, it can slip below our detection thresholds, even if it’s there, potentially helping explain some of the radio silence we’ve seen in technosignature searches.’
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem dropped a bombshell Thursday, revealing that members of her own department secretly installed spyware on government-issued devices used by Trump administration officials.
During an appearance on the “PBD Podcast,” Noem explained that the unauthorized software was discovered on her personal work phone and laptop, as well as the devices of several other political appointees, allowing staffers to record private meetings and monitor internal communications.
According to Noem, the surveillance was only uncovered with the help of outside tech experts, including Elon Musk and his team. These specialists flagged suspicious activity after examining DHS hardware that had been assigned to the new leadership.
The Secretary warned that without this outside intervention, the monitoring likely would have continued indefinitely. She noted that the activity targeted multiple “politicals” within the building. “If you didn’t have those technology experts here in the department looking at all of our laptops and our phones and recognizing that kind of software, it would still be happening today,” she said.
Beyond the digital surveillance, Noem detailed a “secret” physical operation discovered by chance on the DHS campus. She described a hidden SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) filled with mystery files that was only found when a curious employee questioned a specific door.
“I just found the other day a whole room on this campus that was a secret skiff secure facility that had files nobody knew existed,” Noem said. “We went in there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics… I’ve got that turned over to attorneys, and we’re getting to the bottom of what exactly happened there.”
This is a very good overview of how AI works today, and how it doesn’t work. Sort of relatedly, we humans are ourselves trapped in internal idiosyncratic language systems. Even when you reach out of yours, you will be reaching into someone else’s. ABN
I believe Epstein is alive and well due to motive, means, the above, an implausible death scenario contradicted by autopsy, and a corpse that does not resemble him. Based on this conclusion and similar factors, it looks very likely that Maxwell is also free and a body-double is serving her time in prison. ABN
