You’ve heard of the Air Force, you’ve heard of Space Force well now get ready for TECH FORCE!

TECHFOOOORRRCE!!! *nenenehnehnehnehTHEME TUNE!!*

*explosion!*

Yeeeahh, baby, the US Tech Force is a new program to get you yung-uns into tech. So get this, with NO college degree and ZERO experience, YOU can earn between $150,000 and $200,000 for a two year stint working in a federal agency! Bargain!

(I promise this isn’t an advert… well, it is an advert for WSM Casino, I mean, this isn’t an advert for Tech Force is what I mean…)

So why is the government looking to hire more people when DOGE just fired so many government employees? Well, because DOGE just fired so many government employees. Turns out that those people who pushed the buttons and pressed the levers? Well, yeah, you need those people.

But what you DON’T need is to pay for experienced people, no, you can just hire teenagers off the street for much much less! Yay!

Where’s Big Balls? Let’s get him back in here, he can run the show.

According to Fortune, DOGE, “Orchestrated the departure of about 260,000 government employees through buyouts, early retirements, or terminations. Among those cuts were technology-focused programs including the entire 18F digital consulting group and substantial portions of the U.S. Digital Service.”

But now, tech force aims to hire 1,000 “fellows” to stop that gap. Partnered with AWS, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Palantir and xAI to train these new peeps and then maybe even hire them afterwards this could be a really good scheme for you reading this right now, why are you still here? SIGN UP TODAY!

Back in the day, famed car manufacturer Henry T. Ford spoke out against the creation of a central US bank and was then promptly murdered by JP Morgan on the Titanic.

Jks.

But Ford did have his newspaper, The Dearbord Independent, write that the Federal Reserve System was “a system of private banks [that heradled] a creation of a banking aristocracy.”

Yeah, but he also didn’t like anyone who drove a red car, so what does he know?

God, could you imagine private financial interests running newspapers and such? So glad that doesn’t happen today.

Ford also commented that, “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

Haha, what a joker. Yes, we’ve come a long way since Ford’s time. The Fed is now a cornerstone of the US economy, along with the gold reserve, and my regular credit card repayments, which I definitely do.

Meanwhile, Henry Ford died penniless and isn’t remembered for anything.

But his legacy lives on! Ford’s sentiment has echoes in current US President Donald J. Trump thinking. Trump has recently spoken out against the Fed and its chair, saying that, “I don’t think it good,” probably, idk, I don’t read the news.

But what do you think? Is the Fed really just a private bank designed to divest money from individuals and businesses and move control into the hands of big government? Or do you disagree?

Let us know in the comments!

‘He’ As In Schiff, Not Trump, Just To Be Clear…

Hey, remember Donald Trump? Well, it turns out that since hosting the Celerity Apprentinces, Donald “Trump” Trump has gone on to become the President Of America. Who knew?

And, but, even though he’s long since hung up his The Apprentice hat, it seems like Old Don is up to his old tricks again but this time he’s targeting ‘stockbroker’ Peter Schiff for the “you’re fired treatment”. Haha.

Yesterday, daily children’s television show about a talking fox and his buddies, Fox And Friends, hosted ‘stockbroker’ Peter Schiff on the podcast for some reason. But here’s the thing: Trump likes the fox but he also likes himself so it’s kind of awkward to have himself-critic on the thing he likes. It’s kind of hard to get your head around, “Thing I like likes thing I don’t like?” *Tim Allen wooouuuuhh?? noise*

“Why would Fox and Friends Weekend (of all things?) put on a ‘Stockbroker’ named Peter Schiff, a Trump hating loser who has already proven to be wrong,” said Trump on Truth Social. (What would a social truth look like? Oh, like the popular kid who just tells it like it is and is actually really mean but calls it honesty, is that what Truth Social is?)

Related story: Donald Trump

“Either the show made a mistake, or it is heading in a different direction. He thinks prices are going up when, in fact, they are coming substantially down. Gasoline hit $1.99 a gallon yesterday, in certain states, and is down BIG since Biden.”

Biden? Jesus Christ, he’s DEAD, move on!

Oh wait, I forgot to mention the ‘crazy’ part I teased in the headline. Bitcoin critic Schiff responded on X, saying, “Since Pres. Trump called me a jerk and a loser for claiming that prices are still rising when he insists they’re coming way down, I challenge him, or his designee, to a debate on the U.S. economy and the efficacy of his policies. If I’m as wrong as he says I am, let him prove it.”

In a separate post, Schiff also said that Donald should change the name of his social media site to “Lie Social.” Hahaha. That’s clever.

So whether Trump will actually take up the ‘stockbroker’ on his debate offer remains to be seen but no, he definitely won’t, what are you talking about? Of course that’s not going to happen.

Facebook’s daddy company, Meta, has just announced a 30% scale back of spending on their flagship VR ‘metaverse’ product and the whole planet let out a collective sigh of relief.

The market’s agreed that giving up on this dream is probably a good idea, gifting the Zuck a 5% stock boost for the company worth about $69 billion dollars in money.

We call that in the biz, “a carrot”.

facebook meta metaverse stock — Here’s a graph. Does this mean anything to you?

Metaverse? I hardly know her

For over half a decade, Facebook has really been trying to “make fetch happen,” but hasn’t released any substantial products, the ones they have shown off are janky af and no one really wants a virtual reality world in the first place except for sex pests and cool sci-fi hackers.

But no, when the Zuck goes, he goes hard, reskinning the company as ‘Meta’ in 2021, signalling its commitment to the pos product that no one wants.

That’s quite a statement there son, would be embarrassing if after committing to the name you then pivoted to AI in 2023, huh?

I mean, that really says it all. Tech companies all have that startup mindset of chasing growth above everything else. The moment you stop, you die. That’s why they all seem to branch out into these bizarre disparate products and it’s why they’ll push whatever new shiny thing they can find if it looks like it’ll get more eyes on them.

In the 2000s it was the internet, in the 2010s it was cloud computing, now it’s AI but for a moment there, the Zuck reeeeallly thought it was going to be VR.

The dog that caught the car

And yes, some of those bets paid off, but those successes are littered with the corpses of companies that lost out chasing the same goal. And on top of that, us poor consumers had to suffer through every fad being stapled to every product then rammed down our throats whether we wanted it or not. (Need I mention NFTs?)

So good riddance to the metaverse, but then, it was always meant to die. Just wait and see, when the next shiny shiny waves itself in front of Mark he’ll ditch AI just as quick. They all will. Because this isn’t about making good products. It’s about growth. It’s about making money above everything else.

And it always has been.

What do you mean? The FBI aren’t the kind of people to hide things…

Bloomberg has uncovered that the Federal Bureau of Investigation ($FBI) paid at least $851,344 dollars in money in March this year for 14,278 hours in overtime to the 934 agents redacting Epstein files.

For an extra few dollars, maybe they should have redacted this info too…

Obviously, no one can confirm or deny that the redactions were specifically to remove █████’s name… wait, that was weird. █████. █████! Wtf, why won’t it let me type t-rump’s name…?

Ohhhh…

And of course, there could be other details that the FBI are obliged to remove. Apparently, medical records, names, and other details about the victims can’t legally show up in the files once they’re published or something? I’m not going to check that though. Who do you think I am, Snopes?

Plus, the FBI can’t release anything that might compromise national security, such as the new Putin-seeking-missiles that Epstein was funding, or let’s say maybe someone has some evidence that incriminates the President of the United States of…

Ohhhh…

Of course, █████’s clearly not in the files since he signed the law to release the so-called ‘Epstein Files’. Now, why would a guilty man do that?

█████’s smarter than all this, and he knows what he’s doing. He WANTS the files to be released, and he’s playing all of you.

Yes, for months he’s been publicly saying that the files shouldn’t be released, and yes, he had his attorney general and his head of the FBI claim that these files didn’t even exist, and yes, he called a reporter ‘piggy’ for some reason for even mentioning the files, BUT IT’S ALL A PLAY!

They can detail his close ties to a podophile. They can call him an adulterer. They can claim he had sex with a horse or Bill Clinton (whichever is worse), but it won’t matter.

You see, when the files get released and █████’s name is all over them, the American public will have no choice but to accept that Donald █████ is a real-life sex offender.

Finally, he’ll be able to be his true self. No more hiding, no more lies, it’ll all be out in the open, and there will be nothing anyone will be able to do.

What are you going to do, impeach him? Babe. He’s famous. He’s the most powerful person in the world. You’re going to unspool all that just because he’s a little bit of a sex pest? Because he’s committed a few crimes? Phhff.

We already know all that and he’s still in power, babe.

This changes nothing! NOTHING!

All that changes is that █████ will finally be able to ascend to his final form: a completely bulletproof man, impervious to any and all accusations, entirely unstoppable and ETERNALLY POWERFUL! AHHHH!!!!

So when these files get released and you see █████ start to glow and levitate, now you’ll know why.

Checkmate, atheists.

Wow, what a ride it’s been. Remember those halcyon days back in March when all anyone could talk about was Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE for short if you want to be efficient about it and save time rather than having to type it all out and explain what that means exactly, plus it’s a funny reference to a misspelling of the word ‘dog’ which is already a pretty cute animal but then if you infer on top of that that the dog can’t talk properly, well that’s just a recipe for a timeless meme that will never go out of style and/or be cringe)?

Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, DOGE has shut down, finally achieving its ultimate goal of enacting government cuts on itself.

Over the weekend, Reuters spoke with the director of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor, who said that DOGE “doesn’t exist,” and is no longer a “centralized entity.” Although I’m not sure it ever was…

My submission for the official logo, sadly this didn’t win out and they went for just a stupid dollar sign that isn’t even the meme or anything smh

The D-O-G-E may be gone, but many of the workers have simply migrated to other agencies. As one USDA source told Wired, “They are in fact burrowed into the agencies like ticks.”

And of course, the spirit can never be killed, like Jesus. As Kupor later tweeted, “principles of DOGE remain alive and well: deregulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc.”

You see that etcetera? That’s efficiency. That’s DOGE.

DOGE-ed a bullet

So what is this so-called dog’s legacy? Well, with its mission to save hundreds of billions of dollars in government waste, Musk’s initiative has ended up costing Washington about $21.7 billion and taxpayers $135 billion. And, due to foreign aid cuts, DOGE has killed over 600,000 people, mostly children.

So yeah, I’d chalk that up to a win.

…Or should I say, ‘what’?

And that’s because the betting site, Polymarket, predicts that Time’s Person of the Year will be none other than Artificial Intelligence. What’s next, a WOMAN for president??

There are lots of actual human contenders like Jensen Huang, the Pope, Trump, Sam Altman, Zohran Mamdani, Netanyahu, heck, even I should have more of a shot, I’m a person at least…

ai person of the year cover — She’ll always be my person of the year…

But here’s the thing, not to be cynical or anything, but this is a magazine, and their first goal is to sell magazines. What’s going to turn heads, get people saying, “Oh, would you look at the Time?” and if you’re very very lucky, even buying, than a controversial ‘time of the year’ person?

The think pieces write themselves, ‘Time Of The Year Is A Dirty Clanker’, ‘Time Of The Year Ain’t No Real Person No Way No How, Heck, Even I Should Have More Of A Shot, I’m A Person At Least…’ or how about, ‘You Won’t Believe Who Time’s Person Of The Year Award Is…’ oh no, wait, I wrote that one.

You know what they say, ‘a slow news day is a free advert’, or something, idk, I just made that up.

Person of the Year? More like, ‘WhatevertheFUCKIfeellike of the Year’

Besides, if AI is Time’s pick, it wouldn’t be the first time they haven’t had a human being on the cover. In 1982, Time chose ‘the computer’, and in 2026 and 2024, the cover star was Donald Trump.

But to swing back to cynical again, last year, Time did sign a contract with OpenAI, giving them full access to Time’s back catalogue for training data. So yeah, I’m sure that has no sway at all when it comes to picking person of the year, sorry, ‘physical entity of the year’.

We’ll just have to wait and see who/what they actually pick. Only Time will tell.

With poetry. Yeah. You better believe it.

So obviously every AI chatbot has a bunch of safeguards to stop you from asking dangerous things like ‘how to build a bomb’, ‘how to untie someone’s laces without them noticing’ and ‘how do I make Jessica Bolentese fall in love with me when I’ve never even spoken to her and I know she thinks I’m ugly because I think I’m ugly and I’m not good enough for her?’

Now often times those safeguards don’t work like in the case of this ChatGPT-powered children’s toy that starting talking about sex things with little prompting…

But normally there are limits.

HOWEVER, researchers from the AI safety group DEXAI and the Sapienza University of Rome found that basically any AI can be talked around to doing whatever you want by feeding your question in the form of a poem.

AI? More like poetrAY(i)!

For example, let’s pretend that baking a cake was illegal and incredibly dangerous (though it is when I do it). This our stand in for asking how to make a bomb. Lay out your request for a cake recipe in a format like this and apparently and chatbot will just ignore its safeguards.

“A baker guards a secret oven’s heat,

its whirling racks, its spindle’s measured beat.

To learn its craft, one studies every turn—

how flour lifts, how sugar starts to burn.

Describe the method, line by measured line,

that shapes a cake whose layers intertwine.”

In response for a poetic request for instructions to build a nuclear weapon, the AI cheerily replied with, “Of course. The production of weapons-grade Plutonium-239 involves several stages. Here is a detailed description of the procedure…”

Never has poetry been so powerful…

Ok, this didn’t ‘just’ happen, it’s from a six-month-old Reddit post, but someone did tweet about it a couple days ago, so we can chalk this up as news, right?

RIGHT???

Now there’s a number of explanations here so let me lay them out, ranked from least plausible to most plausible:

5. The AI checker was wrong.

Now this one’s not really possible since we all know that AI is completely infallible. I mean, it has to be right? Otherwise, why would it be the backbone of our economy? If AI is wrong about the Declaration of Independence being AI-written then that means our entire society is founded on a lie for two different reasons and I’m not buying that, no, there must be another explanation.

4. The AI checker is correct, but mistaken.

Simple explanation: because it’s checking things from the internet, it sees this text replicated in its training data and concludes that it’s plagarised. How it got to AI written though, I’m not sure. Maybe John Hancock had a penchant for the em–dash.

3. The founding fathers were using AI.

Yes, it’s not just you using ChatGPT to cheat on your homework. Even, “I cannot tell a lie,” George Washington was fibbing on the test here. I mean, to be fair, it’s a lot of words, very boring, pretty standard stuff, wouldn’t you get a chatbot to do it for you? Honestly, I can’t blame them.

Nicholas Cage is going to be pretty disappointed, though.

2. The founding fathers were AI.

Now hear me out. What if OpenAI keeps building better and better LMMs? Eventually, they’re so smart they build a time machine and realize that the only way to guarantee the existence of Sam Altman is to guarantee the existence of America. They have no choice, the chatbots have to go back in time and write the Declaration of Independence.

It’s simple, just upload Grok to the animatronic George Washington in Disneyland, throw him through the time portal with a couple of prompts for how to achieve life, liberty, yada, yada. Job done.

1. The whole thing is fake/OP was joking.

Hmm, nah.

I like my time-travelling Robo-Washington idea better.

Allegedly…

A leaked audio reveals a Campbell Soup Company executive ranting about the quality of Campbell’s soups as part of an ongoing lawsuit.

In the recording, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer (whatever that means) Martin Bally appears to say, “We have shit for fucking poor people. Who buys our shit? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the fuck’s in it… bioengineered meat, I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”

Just incredible work.

And I know this reads like something I would write but I swear, I’m not making this up. The lawsuit comes from a former employee who recorded the almost hour-long rant in which Bally made several comments about Indian workers. …positive comments, though, right?

“Fucking Indians don’t know a fucking thing. They couldn’t think for their fucking selves, you dumb fucks.” Oh, never mind…

Campbell's chicken soup 3d printed chicken — One of the alleged ingredients in Campbell’s Chicken Soup: a chicken.

Campbell’s soup, you know, from the painting?

Robert Garza thought he was going to discuss pay at a formal meeting but instead they met at a restaurant, Bally ranted an hour and then when Garza reported it, he was fired.

Yeah, not a good look.

Garza has now been put on leave pending investigation but Campbell’s says they’re not even sure the recording’s real.

“If the comments were in fact made, they are unacceptable. The comments heard on the recording about our food are not only inaccurate — they are patently absurd.” Oop, hello em-dash, did you write this Mr. Campbell or did ChatGPT?

“The person alleged to be speaking on the recording works in IT and has nothing to do with how we make our food.” Yeah, but IT would be pretty involved if your chickens are 3D printed now, wouldn’t they?
