At the start of Valve's Half-Life 2, the seminal first-person shooter game that turns 20 this month, taciturn scientist Gordon Freeman is trapped within a dystopian cityscape. Armed soldiers patrol the streets, and innocent citizens wander around in a daze, bereft of purpose and future. Dr Wallace Breen, Freeman's former boss at the scientific "research centre" Black Mesa, looks down from giant video screens, espousing the virtues of humankind's benefactors, an alien race known as The Combine. As Freeman stumbles through these first few levels of Half-Life 2, the player acclimatises to the horrible future laid out before them. It's hardly the most cheerful setting, but there are some friendly faces (security guard Barney, Alyx and Eli Vance) and even moments of humour, as Dr Isaac Kleiner's pet, a debeaked face-eating alien called Lamarr, runs amok in his laboratory.

The following was collated from a few wide-ranging conversations covering many topics. Bill: My feeling is this is a big year, and that 2022 was this transition or preparation year, and 2023 is going to be a year of implementing plans. Gideon: "The groundwork laid in 2022 will come to fruition in 2023. If a person is not prepared, they are going to become ensnared in the cabal's plans. We also believe CSRQ will come online in 2023." Bill: I hear all the time that 2025 is their big date, it's all going to happen then, all leading up to that, but you've maintained it's coming sooner than that. What will be going on then? Gideon: "By that time, CSRQ will be fully operational. The mass die-off of the vaccinated will be evident, but generally covered-up and dismissed as the effects of Covid or other things. The cabal's main focus at that point will be implementing the new vaccination agenda, which will tie into a new pandemic. Their focus will be the non-vaccinated. They know the hold-outs, or those who resisted, will not comply easily, so this is where we see a lot of focus on using the gatekeeping operations to bring them into a compliance, and possibly a point they may even be unaware they are complying. I also suspect we will see a greater popularization of Alt Media, alternative truths, where that is brought into the light more, which will lead to the deception that we are somehow winning and the cabal is losing. Meanwhile, it will be the cabal doing it in the first place, a sort of false sense of victory and security. This is already happening, on a small scale, and it's cabal-controlled in nature." Bill: That's a very interesting point and you've brought it up more and more with me, in terms of compliance. I guess I see how it's possible. Like how we just accepted debit and credit cards have these RFID chips in them, which is now ubiquitous.

Intel Drop #24 - The Threat Of A.I. Is Already Here A quick reminder, every link you need for our materials and articles is right here. Please share this article, so we can keep spreading the word. Join Bill's Twitter here, his Gab here, and our official We Are Sovereign Twitter here. Check the bottom of this post for important notes. The following was collated from a few wide-ranging conversations covering many topics. Bill: I few months ago you told me we need to keep an eye on A.I., but you didn't get much into it. Then this week you brought it up a lot more. Can you give everyone an update on that? The cabal has moved up the timeline on the use of A.I. in a way I did not expect at all." Bill: What are they doing? Gideon: "Introducing it to the public for the first time, which I did not think was something they had ready yet." Bill: But we already have A.I. surrounding us in some form or another, so what do you mean? Bill: So this is a different type of A.I. they are introducing? It is first important to understand there are two different things we must address. First, there are software-based A.I. programs. They mainly serve as automation technologies, like self-driving cars, or even simple customer support chat bots. In some cases, it is utilized to process data. None of that is a threat at all. It will never become sentient or fully replace human ingenuity, but this is where we see the concern focused. We see people talking about it, but not talking about what is the true threat. The true threat is that something is being brought into this world that the cabal will call'A.I.' but it is not."

Now that self driving cars are delayed a decade or more and Facebook's director of AI said they are expecting to hit a "wall" with #deeplearning, the key technology within #artificial_intelligence, the evangelists of #AI are waking up to a new reality where many things turned out to be more difficult than expected;-) some other things are simply too expensive to accomplish #artificialintelligence Is the party over?

Hasktorch is a library for tensors and neural networks in Haskell. It is an independent open source community project which leverages the core C libraries shared by Torch and PyTorch. Note that this project is in early development and should only be used by contributing developers. Expect substantial changes to the library API as it evolves. Contributions and PRs are welcome (see details below).

Picture tactile feedback and situated computing. That's the year when a revolving cadre of scientists began work on the problem of predicting the outcome of the spin of a roulette wheel. Although lacking the societal import of, say, predicting cancer in a patient, or even poison in a mushroom, predicting roulette seems on the face of it of even greater difficulty. The game itself is designed in every way for unpredictability. The problem is at its core a machine learning problem with a direct physical basis.
