An amateur mathematician fed an #Erdős problem into GPT-5.4 Pro that humans have been working on for 60 years

"Previous #LLM solutions to Erdős problems used standard techniques, this one took an entirely different approach. Rather than starting from Erdős’ original probability-theory-based framing of the problem, as human mathematicians had, the LLM found an alternative route… that led naturally, in less than a page, to a correct proof"

With our #NZPol coalition of corruption embracing #Ai and the tech oligarchy selling a vision of NZ’s future being dependent on private sector Ai data centres running our civil services and economy which will essentially destroy NZ’s democracy and sovereign independence.

This video explaining the importance of data independence and privacy caught my eye.

For #Mastodon users who already avoid tech bro social media platforms this video is very informative and well worth watching.

https://youtu.be/pn3GoFv93ls

People “chat” with these tools and reveal all kinds of details about themselves and what they are working on. After that happens, they have no control over what is done with that data or who it is shared with.

If AI is used from tasks or technical details where privacy is not that much of a concern, I have less of a problem with it.

If AI could be used completely locally without “phoning home” and sharing all the details with BigTech companies, then I’d be much more okay with it.

As of now, that’s hard to do. I think the privacy concerns are very real and should be taken seriously.

AI vs Humanity – Transhumanist Augmentation

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© May 29, 2026

My science fiction immersed childhood and youth (1960s -1970s with a smattering of 1980s Sci-Fi movies), has moved me into the realm of distrust for all things Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Transhumanist augmentation.

When I post or share my concerns critics of my distrust come out of the woodwork claiming AI is nothing more than programming or algorithms which cannot exceed its design. Frankly, I am not a science guy. Which means I’ll never be able to engage with science language to dispute my critics. BUT I can read and what I read gives me a bad feeling in my gut.

I just has another gut check after Sam Faddis and Dr. Robert Malone. Faddis on a future AI vs Humanity. And Dr. Malone on Transhumanist augmentation with a smattering of AI.

When I was growing in a small town there was no internet and no mobile devices. At the time my small town was considered a rural town even though a State College had a presence. If it wasn’t for the college my small town would be best described as a cow town. Indeed, the small town locals seemed to often clash with the small State College presence.

My childhood was immersed in a culture where no one locked their doors and you knew your neighbors from blocks around. If you ever watched TV’s Leave It To Beaver or the big screen The Sandlot, those were lighthearted snapshots of my childhood culture.

As I approach 70 in November 2026, the Internet, AI, Smart Phone and emerging Transhumanist culture seems such a sad trend compared to memories of yesteryears.

The Coming AI Intelligence Explosion And Why You Are The Problem

By Sam Faddis

May 28, 2026

AND Magazine

“Jack Clark, a cofounder of top AI company Anthropic, recently predicted that there’s a 60% chance of an AI fully training its successor by the end of 2028, warning that techniques to try to ensure AIs are safe today may break under recursive self-improvement. Initiating such a process, known as an intelligence explosion, could quickly result in uncontrollable superintelligence — AIs vastly smarter than humans. In recent months and years, top AI scientists, leaders, and CEOs have been warning that the development of superintelligent AI could lead to human extinction.”

AI vs Humanity (AND Magazine Photo)

In the intelligence business, this is what we call “bad”.

But, never mind, nothing to see here. You definitely should not express concern about this possibility, or someone from the government might come speak with you.

Let me explain.

First of all, let’s talk about this whole “intelligence explosion” thing. Here’s the gist. Up until now, we have dealt with computers and programs that we program. Periodically, somebody announces they have created a new, more advanced “thing”, and we debate its pros and cons, but we assume that we are the ones doing the creating. We are the ones making the decisions. We are in control.

We are fast approaching the day when, for AI, that will no longer be true in any relevant sense. AI will have the capacity to evolve, “advance” and morph into something completely new. It will do so, of course, at the speed of light. This will not be gradual. This may well be effectively instantaneous. By the time you even know it has happened, it is too late. You are living, or perhaps not living, with the consequences.

Yes, if you ever watched Terminator 2: Judgment Day, you will now be hearing in your head echoes of this line. “Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.”

“This brings us to the central feature of AI risk: Unless an AI is specifically programmed to preserve what humans value, it may destroy those valued structures. As Yudkowsky puts it, ‘the AI does not love you, nor does it hate you, but you are made of atoms it can use for something else.’”

Intelligence Explosion: Evidence and Import

The economic impacts of the rush to expand AI are already upon us. Estimates are that AI is taking 16,000 jobs net away from humans every month. Nobody has any clear idea of what those people are now supposed to do for work. Now, on top of what may prove to be economic devastation, we are talking about rolling the dice and hoping AI doesn’t just decide to erase humanity and start with a clean slate.

And the government’s reaction to all this is to trot out the usual Deep State playbook and begin to label and categorize anyone protesting and asking questions. To that end, we now have a new acronym, AGAAVE, anti-government, anti-authority, violent extremist. Yes, that is now a thing.

A recent Wired magazine expose did an admirable job of shining a light on a whole series of governmental entities, at the federal, state, and local levels, that are now highly concerned about dangerous nutjobs who are trying to hold up this whole AI goldrush and raising concerns about its implications.

“Among the documents in the tranche obtained by Wired Magazine is a New York Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau report that warns of widespread upheaval in response to AI adoption. Of particular note is a novel term for what the bureau purports to be an emerging extremism threat.”

‘The chaotic atmosphere that may result from emergent AI technology in the next five years may fuel large-scale protests that devolve into civil unrest and anti-tech violent extremist activity, especially in large urban areas such as New York City,’ the report reads. The term ‘anti-tech violent extremism’ does not appear in any publicly available DHS or FBI domestic extremism reports or guides and represents a novel grouping of a wide range of ideologies under a single extremist category.”

No word on whether these anti-tech people also include some of those “crazy” people who raised concerns about electoral integrity or resisted taking experimental vaccines to combat a disease that was essentially a bad flu, or thought we should not be throwing Joe Biden’s political opponents in prison and spying on sitting members of Congress.

Lest you think that the government has confined itself to simply writing reports and creating new categories of “extremist,” the Wired report makes clear that agencies at multiple levels are already targeting anti-AI and anti-data center groups operationally and monitoring their activities.

“The documents obtained by WIRED also show that fusion centers are currently keeping tabs on in-person assemblies. The Northern Virginia center generated a report about demonstrations at local civic events, including the Arlington County budget meeting and the Fairfax County School Board meeting. Across the country, town halls and budget committee meetings have been among the chief forums for local residents to express their dissent with data centers being built in their neighborhoods.”

“But perhaps the clearest-cut example of how nonviolent critiques of technology can be swept up along with threats is found in an open-source report circulated by SITE Intelligence in April 2025. The report flags a video from the progressive nonprofit More Perfect Union on the destructive effects of a data center to nearby residents in Georgia. Nothing in the video advocated for violence against property or people. But thanks to fusion center targeting, the advocacy group is now circulating among US intelligence and law enforcement across the country as a potential threat vector.”

We are driving toward a cliff at full throttle. We have uncorked a bottle and released a genie that we do not fully understand and which we may well not be able to control. Experts in the field of AI are talking openly about the distinct possibility that this thing we have created may simply decide one day in the blink of an eye to utilize our atoms differently. It may simply erase us and start over.

But if you are raising concerns about that, you are the problem.

Human Augmentation Is No Longer Science Fiction

By Dr. Robert W. Malone

May 28, 2026

Malone News

Human Augmentation – The Next Battlefield (Malone News Photo)

Three years ago, we wrote about a joint UK and German Ministry of Defense report titled Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm (1,2). At the time, many critics dismissed the document as speculative futurism, military fantasy, or the fever dream of transhumanists intoxicated by Silicon Valley ideology.

It is no longer possible to deny the reality of the situation – human augmentation is being developed more rapidly than we all could have imagined.

What was once presented as theoretical is now becoming operational doctrine.

The discussion has shifted. Human augmentation is no longer framed primarily as a distant ethical dilemma. It is increasingly being treated by military planners, AI developers, and national security bureaucracies as an unavoidable strategic necessity. The language has changed from “should we?” to “how fast can we deploy it before our adversaries do?”

That should alarm everyone.

The original report argued that future wars would not be won by whoever possessed the best machines, but by whoever most effectively merged human beings with machines (2). At the time, that sounded like science fiction to many.

But look around today. AI copilots are everywhere. Autonomous drones -which rumor has it are capable of deciding who lives and who dies without a human pulling the trigger- dominate modern battlefields. Machine-learning systems increasingly assist intelligence analysis, targeting, surveillance, logistics, and command decisions.

The battlefield envisioned by the report is arriving faster than even its authors predicted.

And the missing piece is no longer the machine.

It is the human.

Military planners are now openly discussing ways to optimize cognition, decision speed, stress tolerance, fatigue resistance, emotional regulation, and direct brain-machine communication. Not someday. Now.

DARPA has aggressively advanced programs designed to create high-performance brain-computer interfaces for military personnel (3). The stated goal is to allow soldiers to directly interact with autonomous systems, including drone swarms and AI-assisted battlefield platforms. Recent military papers openly discuss reducing “cognitive overload” through neural interfaces linked to machine-learning systems (5).

Think carefully about what that means.

The problem modern warfare faces is not merely firepower. It is information saturation. The side that can process information faster, fuse data more efficiently, and shorten decision loops gains overwhelming advantage. Human augmentation is increasingly viewed as the solution.

This is not about stronger muscles or robotic exoskeletons, although those continue to be developed for logistics and battlefield endurance (8). The real focus has shifted toward the brain itself.

• Cognitive warfare.

• Neurostimulation.

• Behavioral optimization.

• AI-linked command systems.

• Pharmacologic enhancement.

• Predictive biometric monitoring.

• Direct neural integration with machines.

This is where the money is going.

And once again, the same rhetorical pathway appears that we have seen so many times before. The technologies are introduced under the banner of therapy, rehabilitation, safety, and medical necessity. Advanced prosthetics become enhanced prosthetics. Neurological rehabilitation becomes cognitive optimization. Monitoring for wellness becomes monitoring for performance and compliance.

The line between treatment and enhancement rapidly disappears.

That is not speculation. That is exactly what military and bioethics literature is now openly discussing (7,9).

One of the most disturbing developments over the last three years is how quickly ethical resistance has softened inside defense circles. Increasingly, military ethicists argue that democratic nations may need to loosen ethical restrictions on enhancement technologies because authoritarian adversaries will not hesitate to deploy them (6).

In other words, the moral argument is becoming secondary to geopolitical competition.

The logic is brutally simple:

If China develops enhanced warfighters and the West refuses to compete, the West loses.

That argument is now appearing with increasing frequency in military policy discussions.

The original UK-German report bluntly stated that human augmentation should not ultimately be decided by ethicists or public opinion, but by national interest (2). At the time, that statement shocked many readers. Today it reads less like a warning and more like a roadmap.

Perhaps the most profound shift since 2022 is cultural.

The public has already been conditioned for much of this transition.

Millions of people now voluntarily wear devices that continuously track sleep, heart rate, movement, stress, location, temperature, and biological activity. AI systems increasingly monitor behavior, communications, productivity, and emotional state. Entire generations have normalized the idea that biological and behavioral data should be constantly harvested, analyzed, and fed into algorithmic systems.

Human beings are gradually being transformed into integrated biological data platforms.

And once that infrastructure exists, military and state applications inevitably follow.

The old industrial model treated humans as machine operators.

The emerging biotech model treats humans themselves as programmable platforms.

That is the real paradigm shift.

What makes this especially dangerous is the extraordinary hubris driving much of the field. Increasingly, scientists, technologists, military planners, and governments speak openly about directing human evolution itself through genetic engineering, neurotechnology, and AI-assisted biological modification (4).

Six million years of evolution are now viewed by some as merely an outdated starting point to be “optimized.”

History suggests caution here.

Every era that became convinced it could engineer a better human being eventually descended into ethical catastrophe. The tools change. The rhetoric modernizes. But the underlying temptation remains the same: centralizing power over biology itself.

And unlike the crude eugenics movements of the past, modern human augmentation is emerging wrapped in the language of medicine, national security, efficiency, resilience, and technological progress.

That makes it far more politically durable.

The greatest danger may not be some dramatic moment when governments announce the arrival of “enhanced humans.” The real danger is incremental normalization.

Small steps.

• Therapeutic uses.

• Military exemptions.

• Workplace optimization.

• AI-assisted monitoring.

• Cognitive enhancement “for safety.”

• Genetic modification “for resilience.”

Until eventually the infrastructure for total biological integration already exists before society fully understands what has happened.

Three years ago, many people laughed at the idea that governments and militaries were seriously planning for large-scale human augmentation.

They are not laughing anymore.

The frightening part is not that the technology is coming.

The frightening part is how quietly the debate is disappearing.

Stop feeding the machine! ✊

Big AI profits from token bloat & subscription traps, hiding real utility behind opaque paywalls. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury you trade for convenience.

I’m fighting back with Searchbase v1.0.0: a sovereign, self-hosted search layer for LLMs. No ads, no tracking, just clean Markdown to stop token waste & reclaim autonomy. Open source & privacy-first, forever. 🏴‍☠️

Deploy it now: https://searchbase.md

Lost your pet? 🐾 AI is transforming reunions—using facial recognition and real-time shelter data to find pets faster, while still working alongside flyers and community search. See how it works: https://hopepawsfund.org/ai-for-lost-pets/ ❤️

Posthog announces they went with the nuclear AI option, a new AI policy that makes Copilot look like a champion for privacy.

All #posthog data outside the EU, across all paid usage tiers, will be used to train a #ai new model. Organizations like mine woke up to find they were already automatically enrolled. Oh, but you can opt-out of course. "Why this is opt out, not opt in... Put simply, because otherwise we will not have enough data to train a model that's actually useful" (https://posthog.com/blog/training-ai-models). While on their own account management page, "you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws and regulations."

If your business model depends on violating customer #privacy and exposing your clients to novel legal/PR/ethical risks, then you have a bad business. I chose to pay posthog instead of free #google analytics because of their stronger privacy position. Guess I got that one wrong.

Amnesty International: *Datastromen voor generatieve AI schenden massaal onze privacy*

"Bedrijven verzamelen enorme hoeveelheden online gegevens zonder onze toestemming. Ze gebruiken deze data om generatieve kunstmatige intelligentie (GenAI) te bouwen. Deze aanpak maakt een grootschalige inbreuk op onze privacy mogelijk. Hierdoor zijn deze systemen van meet af aan onrechtmatig, stelt Amnesty International vandaag in nieuw onderzoek. ..."

#Data is coming home, so to speak.

Of course, we always supported our corporate surveillance complex in collecting data,
but hey! they were not supposed to use them against us!
It s only for training #AI personalized ads, and such ...

I think the recent #AI bullshit over the past few years has thrown me further into #retrocomputing. Especially now, since too many devs are using AI for their projects. I feel more at home using a Windows 98SE or XP desktop than I do using any of my more modern computers. No constant nagging or notifications, no random updates, and I have full control over the system (well, as much as I can have over a 25+ operating system from Microsoft, but there are third party tools to help)
