I have had something vicious wipe out years of my life, left one person (my mom) dead and it was torture throughout.
I plan to go straight to criminal repercussions and legal precedents sending a targeted and specific message about greed to both the parts of the private sector (in medicine and technology, entertainment and “art”) involved and the vapid prostitutes in the state who exploited immigration and narcotics laws to drive this race to the bottom. That aside misconduct in human subject research and malpractice allegations. They should feel free going forward to not treat the whole world as a lab with no meaningful IRB protocols nor informed consent, environmental permits, labor or privacy law considerations and nothing but greed.
It is the nicest thing I can do for publicly funded science and scientists, doctors and nurses, earth, most humans and democracy as opposed to this nauseating and myopic hustle that will kill us all.
I type these things on DU - a site I trust thanks to EarlG/elad and MIRT/other DUers.
I never use voice assistants..I avoid using the phone or talking if I can help it. With the way Zuckerberg, Musk, the Substack creeps etc operate, the last thing I want is some daft AI agent going around blaring confusing messages about criminal charges etc taken out of context. Taking it literally is ideal only when it is one of the parties responsible, which is not that many humans-I don’t even know them for the most part. And those people who would be pretty universally unsympathetic to anyone who is not a committed scammer.
The difference between earth and animals and humans is humans can and will push back. I used to support rights for animals and earth. Why would I meekly be intensively “farmed” myself? And I don’t worry about fresh scammers piling on to exploit it. Can’t stand morons who think everyone is like them.
It bothered me that some of this is a scammy crew with murky and unclear politics beyond a fervent support of generally mercenary and meretricious conniving ways.
They quite possibly going around claiming to be left or hardcore efficient meritocratic.
Either way, in addition to attacks from people who do not understand what is going on or identify with these creeps for confusing reasons, I thought I might make some friends I would not mesh with as well.
It is in the public interest to let me pursue these creeps solo.
I cannot believe they expected to get away with it..No one could possibly support these people who wasn’t gaining something shady. And shadiness and grift are apolitical. And the kind of tribalism that supports “our side’s” shadiness shoots itself and the tribe (whichever tribe) in the foot.
This is why I am careful in social contracts and a loner. Because some decisions I consider mindboggling stupid often initially has a lot of support and then these guys all go “Lord of the flies”. Well I had nothing to do with such things and would clear the squabbling tribes I am not reporting out of the way and see that the long arm of the law comes for the others. Thankfully no one I care about in science or medicine or society is daft enough to do more than go through the typical cycle I now sardonically recognize with honest people who first get confused, alarmed, saddened and angry and then get resigned to it and give up hope of a better existence.
At the dose at which I got it and after the fallout, I cannot see caving after finding out about this sleazy private equity giant Blackstone.
What is the point of all this surveillance if the creeps neatly continue to scam everyone with ever more outrageous hedges?
I do worry about phony ai/tech criticism or whatever nightmarish example of “syncretic” this is:

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/-human-ai-declaration-brings-together-unlikely-group-calling-trustwort-rcna261594
But that’s one reason to be clear. That second article gave me a headache. Ralph Nader’s instincts are nightmarish-that creepy Bengio guy/Steve Bannon and Richard Branson and Ralph Nader..half of that stellar team was in the Epstein Files..I protest this reality. This whole syncretic thing (except the kind irl where average honest humans know people of different backgrounds..my dad is relatively conservative, but we get along well) is suspect.
This must happen in my corrupt city, but for 14 years of illicit, undemocratic exploration that has left one person dead and was torture for me, criminal charges aimed at the top must result along with malpractice and misconduct charges too serious to ignore. What exactly is the obligation of a publicly funded scientist if not blowing the whistle on this much corrupt, unconstitutional trash and hostage taking. I am openly a marijuana user and modafinil since one can buy it otc here being a fairly safe medication (the least seriously regulatory issue that helps the average human combatting a vilely malicious “concern” about addiction with institutionally sponsored torture). That is nothing like lining your pockets, turning a blind eye on overt harassment etc. My friends, colleagues, doctors etc know I will be fine with enough info I get as I do randomly, but I have enough info now and these assholes made a mistake. I make sure to keep the mj industry in the loop as it is an honest one that offers a real service:

That is real pushback. That Bannon Branson thing is pathetic.
