It’s all by design! The Great Reset requires a currency crisis, so that we can Build Back Better. We must crash the economy and implement a fiat Central Bank Digital Currency, a Digital ID, and a Social Credit Score System—“Fascism on the Block Chain!” We will weaponize the whole currency system. We will reset the economy to a surveillance economy. It’s the surveillance era! Surveillance Capitalism/Data Capitalism: leading us down the road to Digital Feudalism. Techno-Feudalism…yay! This new Digital Economy will have programmable currency, which will be tied to vast databases that will surveil your behavior. Elvis has entered the building: “We’re caught in a trap! I can't walk out!” Step right up: get your Universal Basic Income Central Bank Digital Currency allowance. Then you can become a Global Citizen of the New World Order Digital Welfare state…woohoo! Please give me Digital Welfare!
We will be able to control every aspect of your lives. With programmable Central Bank Digital Currency we will eventually bar you from buying precious metals. Kiss your gold good-bye! You won’t be able to save your money, because it will have an expiry date. We will program your digital money, so that you can’t spend it outside your 15-minute city/neighbourhood/prison. Like the World Economic Forum mantra says: you will own nothing and be happy! You will literally rent everything you use. If you’re a good little doggy you’ll be rewarded, but if you’re a bad little doggy you’ll be punished. We will regulate who you can see, what you can eat, and where you can go. Digital slavery, here we come!
Trillions of dollars in debt: inflation, stagflation, and hyperinflation. “From dirty cash, to digital trash.” The banks will legally take money out of your bank account when everything collapses. Remember what happened in the Financial Crisis of Cyprus? The banks seized people’s money. Bye-bye savings. Bye-bye middle class. Bank run! Say what? The system’s locked up. Transactions have stopped. I can’t get my money out of the bank! I can’t use my debit card! I can’t use my credit card! My money is gone! Read ‘em and weep, boys; the writing is on the wall.
In a few years down the road we will microchip the sheeple. A new transhuman slave race…woohoo! This slave race will bow to the Image of the Beast—the ultimate ChatGPT. His image will be set up on a wing of the temple. If you can’t get to the temple to worship, his image will show up as a hologram in your transhuman mind. The Beast hologram will say: worship me or die! The AI Beast Computer will hit your kill switch if you don’t bow down to worship him. Watch out, he will know if you’re sincerely worshiping him or not. Isn’t it going to be fun when we’re living in the Book of Revelation? 666: you can’t buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast! Isn’t it interesting to watch as the Beast system is being put in place?

WIP G20 Roundtable on digitalisation with German Minister Zypries, co-hosted by W20: www.womenpoliticalleaders.org/g20-german-minister-economi...
From the inaugural Stanford Digital Economy Lab gathering today:
• Humanoid robot company CEO Scott Phoenix of Vicarious (shared with his permission): “Our goal is to build billions of robots, to usher in an era of infinite abundance. Infinite abundance has a corollary: there are no premium products. You see that with digital goods today; Elon uses the same phone as the rest of us.”
“We will scale physical labor with the cost of electricity, just as we currently scale computing with the cost of electricity.”
• AI polymath executive: “By 2050, we will solve bias in the models. We can use GANs to normalize data sets to be representative of the population. But we won’t be able to prove it. With complexity, AI may not be possible to be understood.”
“We want Western values to win.”
“Cyberwars of the future might last 3-5 milliseconds. This will not allow for human decision making.”
“Physicists need AI and climate models need AI when solving the equations becomes too complex (Navier Stokes equations in this case). AI will also improve fusion and synthetic biology. AI will help us approach the hard problems in science.”
“We wrote an AI policy report for the government. They were the customers. But nobody in the government understood what we were talking about. The government is in the position of constantly being surprised. The U.S. model is that regulation lags innovation, which is better than the European model of trying to regulate before there is innovation. But we have a talent problem in the government.”
--> Today’s agenda.
--> An interesting AI issue of Daedalus just dropped.
• Essay on Avoiding the Turing Trap, by shifting the focus from replicating human intelligence (e.g., Turing Test) to enhancing and extended our capabilities.
• Make sure to check out the AI-generated replies to philosophical questions in the afterward.

WIP G20 Roundtable on digitalisation with German Minister Zypries, co-hosted by W20: www.womenpoliticalleaders.org/g20-german-minister-economi...
Aura Salla, member of the European Parliament (EPP – Finland) at the Scaling Europe Summit 2025. The Summit was convened by the Lisbon Council, a Brussels-based think tank. For more information, visit lisboncouncil.net/newsandevents/scaling-europe-summit/.
Researchers, industry and government representatives will gather at a special conference and networking event at MediaCityUK from Monday 4-Wednesday 6 November to discuss the impact of digital innovation on the economy, culture and society.
As part of the Research Councils UK digital economy theme, the fourth Digital Economy Conference will showcase some of the latest research into digital technologies and how they are shaping businesses and communities, with speeches, presentations and exploratory workshops by some of the UK’s leading businesspeople and academics in the digital sphere.
Hosted by the University of Salford, and held at venues across MediaCityUK including the University’s state-of-the-art campus, the BBC and The Lowry, the conference has a particular focus on ‘open digital’. This theme explores the concepts of digital openness, from the implications of shareware to open-source creative communities and open access data, content and ideas.

During the pandemic here and there along residential neighborhoods various delivery services stop with one or more grocery bags in hand, with boxed "make it at home" meals ready-prepped, or hot food delivered from restaurants. Before the pandemic, it was a habit, lifestyle, or luxury consumer pattern that only involved relatively small numbers of people around their neighborhoods downtown or suburban.
For home-bound workers and those at high risk for harm from the Covid-19 disease, though, using telephone or Internet (PC or portable device's customized app) to place grocery requests has become a new routine. Advice columnists make suggestions to tip the person gathering the items listed, bagging, and then delivering to the doorstep - all without contact to minimize the chance of virus transmission. Big grocery stores like Kroger and (this photo) Meijer have their own in-house system of staff and procedures. But on this morning, there were also a few shoppers wearing cheerful T-shirts (bright green for Shipt; bright aqua for Be.Yo.Nd - also advertising "the first shoppers summit"). Others had no distinguishing clothing, but did carry a stack of plastic or paper in-store bags, or reusable cloths bags that set their cart apart from everyone else who was doing their own shopping, payment, and delivery to their own cupboard or refrigerator. The professional shoppers who knew each other from daily interactions greeted each other as fellows in the same trench, fighting the same fight.
If the danger of virus transmission becomes moot for most people after an effective form of vaccine is universally offered, then maybe this routine of submitting shopping request, paying the services charge and tipping will continue; not for health and safety, but because the convenience of outsourcing this work begins to seem a good exchange of one's money for the time cost and bother being avoided.

"... DSD's purpose is to support Australian Government decision-makers and the Australian Defence Force with high-quality foreign signals intelligence products and services. DSD makes Government and Defence policy more certain and more effective by providing the policy Departments and assessment agencies with important information that is not available from open sources. DSD also directly contributes to the military effectiveness of the ADF, and provides a range of information security services to ensure that their sensitive electronic information systems are not susceptible to unauthorised access, compromise or disruption.
The task of an agency such as DSD is increasingly complex and demanding. Since the end of the Cold War, the world has, paradoxically, become a much more uncertain place, and the Australian Government has to make quick decisions from a wide range of choices as it responds to political and economic imperatives. To do so, it needs timely access to the best information available, and intelligence is one of the sources on which it relies.
At the same time, the revolution in information technology has fundamentally changed the world we live in and the way we all do business. Modern communications technologies have ushered in the Information Age and the electronic marketplace. For DSD, for whom information is core business (we both collect and protect information), the new environment continually challenges us to look for new and better ways to fulfil our obligations to Australia's Government and Defence Force. ..."
Job Advert, not incident reporting
First I thought it was another incident reporting advert. No. It's a fancy Job advert in a local newspaper for technicals to work for DSD CyberOps.

On March 26, 2014, Jeremy de Beer, Associate Professor from the Faculty of Law at University of Ottawa, gave a research lecture on how different intellectual property strategies promote or inhibit open innovation. Professor De Beer is currently working on technological innovation and intellectual property in global contexts. His research is applied in practical contexts ranging from information communication technology in the digital economy to biotechnology in life sciences industries to innovation strategy at international, national, and firm levels.
One of the main north-south roads in the city carries not only buses and other vehicles, but also utilities for phone, gas, electric, and here the increased capacity of the forthcoming Fifth Generation (5-G) fiber-optic cable, too. The workmen say that the system locally may not be live for many months, but the work begins with these steps, laying one foot at a time of the glass cables. Perhaps future citizens will look back from a point in the future when digital communication has advanced to the 9th or 10th generation. From that perspective 5-G is not shiny and new, but quaint in its powers to convey data by comparison.
