    This looks incredible and I wish I could get more information about how it was made, and whether we have our own.

    The wiring is less thrilling.

    The premise is deliberately careful: not to pronounce guilt, but to surface cases .. This is not a finished watchdog machine; it is infrastructure under construction… Its public roadmap points not only to Portuguese procurement data but to a broader European layer.

      Corruption is so entrenched in Portugal that unlike pretty much anywhere in the World Libel is an actual CRIME prosecuted by the local version of the Public Prosecution Office, which in practice means that no actual damage has to be proven and only people with the proper political connections (i.e. politicians) get to be “protected” by this Law.

      Oh, and in a country infamous by an extremelly slow Court system, they in practice expedite Libel cases where politicians are the “victim”.

      So even descriptions of systems to detect Corruption have to be very carefully done so as to not even imply that anything caught by them is actually Corruption.

      I’m Portuguese and, having also lived elsewhere in Europe, firmly believe that in the domains of Politics and Law, Portugal is basically South America rather than Europe.

    And this is the reason corrupt politicians don’t like “anti-corruption anything”.

      and just for fun …

      O Secretário-Geral da NATO a dizer, alto e bom som, o que cá no nosso país, os partidos do consenso militarista, da esquerda à direita, tentam esconder: a NATO, foi, é e será um bloco imperialista ao serviço dos Estados Unidos da América e quem continuar a tentar atrelar o país às suas agressões e chacinas de povos em todo o mundo, é cúmplice dos seus crimes.

      A dissolução da NATO é a única posição de defesa dos direitos dos povos à sua independência, ao seu direito à paz. É a única posição que recusa a vassalagem, que afirma a soberania do povo português e recusa ser envolvido nos crimes do imperialismo norte-americano. flyer

    **Will this be used on the epstein class? **

    When I think of AI I think of the The Wizard of Oz were the heros lose. The house always wins as it is about managing perception and growing the surveillance state. It is a trojan horse. If we don’t own the means of control. Techbro techno‑optimism is not gonna make the world better. It is like asking a potato to make you dinner. Shoehorning tech into everything rather than dealing with the human element that led to the crisis. Follow the leader, thats above my pay grade and thats just how it is. Our ability to adapt is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. The rich are like “I know we cheated you but now this has just gone too far” so now austarity says Techbro techno‑optimism. They make a good thing bad and it is global. These intelligence communities are compartmentalized and obfuscated. No body knows whats going on. Anywhoo what the fuck does Kansas know about Portugal.

    The more sharp weapons people have in a country,

    The bigger the disorder will be.

    The more clever and cunning people are,

    The stranger the events will be.

    The more laws and commands there are,

    The more thieves and robbers there will be
