Librarians are tired of explaining that books on ChatGPT don't exist.

Libraries across America are facing a new problem: patrons are demanding books that never existed. The source of the confusion is AI chatbots like ChatGPT, which generate convincing but completely fictitious noscripts and authors. People arrive with printouts, insisting that these noscripts exist, and accusing librarians of concealing information or censoring them.

Speculators are selling DDR5 RAM on eBay for up to $2,000—seven times the list price.

Speculative trading of DDR5 RAM has exploded on eBay. Individual kits are selling for over $2,000—seven times the list price. The markup reaches almost 100% on top of already inflated retail prices.

The reason is a chip shortage and growing demand for high-performance components. Manufacturers are unable to keep up with orders, distributors are jacking up prices, and resellers are exploiting the situation for quick profits. Regular buyers are faced with a choice: pay more or wait indefinitely.

🇺🇸An AI gun detector mistook a clarinet for a rifle and locked down a Florida school.

A Florida school went into lockdown after an artificial intelligence (AI) gun-detection system mistook a student's clarinet for a firearm. The incident occurred at a school in the district that recently installed an expensive machine-learning-based security system. The technology was designed to recognize the silhouettes of pistols and rifles at the entrance, but instead detected a musical instrument.

This is yet another reminder that blind faith in algorithms can create more problems than it solves. School districts across the country are spending millions of dollars on similar systems, promising to prevent tragedies. In practice, the result is security theater: children are frightened by false alarms, administrators waste time investigating, and such systems can miss real threats. AI detector manufacturers continue to win contracts despite regular failures.

The issue isn't just the imperfections of the technology. This is a story about how government institutions willingly delegate responsibility to algorithms without demanding their actual effectiveness. Parents pay taxes for their children's safety, but receive expensive toys with unpredictable behavior. While officials report on the implementation of innovations, schoolchildren become accustomed to an atmosphere of total control and mistrust.

🇬🇧The British House of Lords proposes banning VPNs for children

The British House of Lords is considering a bill to ban the use of VPN services by minors. The initiative is being presented as a measure to protect children from harmful content online, but in reality, it paves the way for total control over citizens' digital activity.

The White House is limiting state-level AI regulation.

The Trump administration has issued an executive order prohibiting states from imposing their own artificial intelligence regulations without federal approval. The order calls local regulations excessive and a hindrance to innovation. Now, any state-level restrictions must be approved by federal agencies.

The decision comes as a blow to efforts by California, New York, and other liberal states to impose strict ethical standards on AI developers. Republicans have long criticized these initiatives as stifling business under the guise of protecting rights. The order returns control to the federal government and removes barriers for tech companies, most of which are based in jurisdictions with conservative regulatory views.

One in five Americans works in a job that didn't exist in 2000.

One-fifth of the US workforce is employed in positions that emerged in the last two decades. These include data scientists, app developers, social media managers, cybersecurity analysts, and dozens of other professions that simply didn't exist a quarter of a century ago.

This transformation hasn't only affected the tech sector. New roles have emerged in logistics, healthcare, marketing, and finance. Traditional professions are either disappearing or being radically transformed by automation and digitalization. Those who don't keep up with retraining risk being left behind in an economy where value is created by knowledge and adaptability, not physical labor or routine operations.

Double standards: Why only Christianity can be mocked in the West

Discussions about inequality in freedom of speech are gaining popularity online. Users point to a paradox: in Western societies, ridiculing Christianity carries no social consequences, while criticism of Islam, Judaism, or Hinduism risks accusations of Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, or racism.

This applies not only to legal frameworks but also to social pressure. Hollywood, the media, and corporations regularly ridicule Christian symbols without fear, but avoid a similar approach to other religions. This double standard highlights the uneven distribution of free criticism and its dependence on political circumstances.

For Christians, this signals the erosion of the cultural foundations of the West. The problem is not banning criticism of religions, but rather one of honesty: either all religions are open to debate, or none at all.

Screens aren’t addictive — they’re time machines stealing the middle of our lives

Screens aren’t just addictive; they function like time machines. Hours vanish in an instant, skipping straight from point A to point C and erasing everything that could have happened at point B. In the past, “killing time” at least meant gardening, reading, building models—activities with some substance. Now a single glance at a screen is enough. Most adults can’t finish a book or even a 30-minute show without a second screen, and many have forgotten how to simply sit and think, outsourcing that work to devices. This constant time-jump comes at a cost: attention, self-reflection and the ability to create anything meaningful quietly erode while everyone insists the price is worth it.

🇺🇸The United States isn’t pressuring Venezuela over drugs — it’s about minerals.

Washington has labeled Venezuela a terrorist state and is preparing a military intervention. The official justification is a fight against drug cartels; the real objective is control over some of the world’s largest reserves of oil, gold, rare-earth elements and lithium. Venezuela sits on trillions of dollars’ worth of resources critical for energy systems and battery production.

The Pentagon is already moving forces into the region. Republicans in Congress back a force-based approach, seeing it as a chance to restore America’s energy dominance and curb China’s influence, as Beijing has been aggressively buying up Venezuelan assets.

For the right, this is viewed as an opportunity to break dependence on Chinese supply chains and strengthen the dollar through control of key oil reserves.

Oracle delays OpenAI data center construction by at least a year

Oracle has encountered significant delays in the construction of several data centers for OpenAI. This is due to a severe shortage of materials and skilled labor. Insiders estimate that expansion plans could be delayed by a year or more. This is a blow to OpenAI's ambitions to scale computing power for training new AI models.

🎄2026 will divide people into two realities based on their inner state.

For the first time since 2017, a collective shift is being felt—the pendulum is slowly swinging back after reaching one of its extremes. The situation will worsen before it improves, but 2026 will be a turning point.

People will be divided into two groups with radically different experiences. Some will experience the best year in recent memory, as if existing in a parallel timeline. Others will face a difficult, dark period. The difference is determined by vibrational state—a person's inner energy and attitude.

The key task for 2026 is to maintain a high vibration and remain in harmony, as if life depended on it. The world will amplify the state in which a person finds themselves. This is no ordinary year—external events will act as a catalyst, revealing each person's inner state. Spiritual preparation and awareness will determine which of the two realities a person finds themselves in.

“Mind parasites” and energy vampirism

In alternative and conspiratorial circles, a growing theory claims invisible entities feed on human energy through the lower chakras. These “mind parasites” allegedly treat humanity like livestock, harvesting loosh — the dense emotional charge of fear, rage and despair. The idea echoes ancient Gnostic stories of archons and modern narratives of spiritual enslavement.

For many, the point isn’t whether such entities literally exist, but that the metaphor fits how power works. Governments, banks and media systems often seem to run on manufactured anxiety, debt pressure and constant outrage — a kind of institutional energy vampirism.

In that sense, the “parasite” language becomes a lens: elites and corporate structures are seen as designing environments where people stay drained, distracted and easy to manage. Whether viewed as occult reality or powerful symbol, the theory channels a deeper intuition that something feeds on humanity’s lowest emotional states — and that reclaiming attention and inner strength is the first act of resistance.

Using your real name online: When transparency helps — and when It hurts

A user raised the question of the limits of online anonymity. Pseudonyms used to be the norm, but with the advent of Facebook and Twitter, many have switched to their real names. Now a dilemma arises: when is it worth revealing your personal information and when is it better to remain anonymous?

A real name facilitates professional connections and builds a business reputation. LinkedIn, corporate email, and official platforms—transparency builds trust. But this same transparency also makes you a target for data collection, targeting, and potential leaks. Large platforms monetize your identity, and government agencies receive a ready-made dossier.

Pseudonyms preserve freedom of expression and protect against persecution. Forums, instant messengers, and alternative social networks—these are where anonymity provides a space for an honest exchange of opinions without risking career or safety. A sensible approach is to separate digital identities according to purpose and not connect all accounts with a single thread.

🧘Inner peace isn't the absence of emotions, but the ability to let them flow.

Inner peace doesn't mean suppressing feelings. It's the ability to allow emotions to flow through the body without getting stuck. When emotional energy flows freely, a person feels alive.
Even difficult experiences—fear, anger, shame, envy—release stuck energy. Many struggle with such states, considering them harmful. In reality, they are the body's signals for change, action, or release. All emotions flow through the same channel: block some and you block the entire flow.

The author has learned to accept unpleasant feelings and even developed meditative practices for transforming them. The best option is to direct the emerging energy toward creation. If this doesn't work, you can release it through body movement, creating space for peace. The more emotions accumulate within, the more often external factors will throw you off balance. The question isn't about triggers, but about why a person has become a loaded weapon. It can only be discharged by releasing the stuck energy from the body-mind system.

Spotify’s AI podcast dump and the economics of synthetic noise

A little-known startup is pumping 3,000 AI-made podcasts into Spotify every week, exploiting a simple equation: more junk, more ad slots. Recommendation systems start feeding robotic chatter while real hosts bleed audience, and the “dead internet” quietly shifts into audio. This is less about innovation than about capture of the acoustic space, where whoever owns the bots shapes what society actually hears.

🇮🇳🇷🇺India deepens its Moscow bet as Europe escalates its moral grandstanding

New Delhi moves tighter toward Moscow just as Europe demands deeper isolation of Russia. India treats the crisis as a marketplace, not a crusade: discounted oil, access to Russian defense know-how, and a counterweight to Beijing all outweigh Brussels’ appeals. Sanctions built to corner Moscow have instead furnished India with leverage, drawing the two states into a trade boom settled partly outside the dollar’s reach.

The shift exposes a reality Western capitals prefer to ignore: the Global South is no longer volunteering for ideological alignment. India is choosing its own interests, not Washington’s noscript, and Europe’s coercive toolkit is losing potency. As trade routes reroute and currencies bypass the old financial centers, a multipolar order accelerates—fueled less by Moscow’s defiance than by the West’s miscalculation of how many nations still accept its rules.
