Elon's basic idea seems to be: improve and evolve civilization faster than the left can destroy it.

The anti-humans must be defeated. Anti-humanism: any social, political, or ideological process which subordinates humans to an allegedly superior authority, intelligence, or cause, and reduces human agency or wellbeing as a result. DOUTHAT: “You would prefer to see the human race endure, right?” THIEL: “Uh, I don’t know, I would, I would—“ DOUTHAT: “This is a long hesitation.” THIEL: “yes, but… transhumanism, the ideal was this radical transformation… We want you to be able to change your mind and change your whole body. These things don’t go far enough. You need to transform your whole self.”

A former FBI supervisor is alleging that senior Trump officials pushed agents to investigate protesters in early 2025 despite internal concerns that their activities were protected speech. Jill Fields filed her whistleblower disclosure with Congress and submitted her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. One incident involved people using megaphones in California to warn neighbors about immigration agents, which she alleges Trump demanded an investigation into. She also alleged retaliation within the FBI after she voiced constitutional and procedural objections to opening investigations into speech-related activities. Fields was stripped of her leadership role in several FBI programs. The whistleblower report also said that supervisors deliberately gave instructions in face-to-face meetings and ordered agents not to document directives in writing. This lack of a paper trail suggests an internal awareness that the directives violated standard DOJ and FBI compliance protocols. For context, FBI guidelines strictly forbid opening domestic terrorism or criminal intelligence cases based solely on First Amendment-protected activities. I'm no stranger to the investigative machinery of the USA. The feds violated my rights and subpoenaed my private data during Trump's first term. The fact of the matter is FBI agents are being diverted away from major transnational organized crime and drug cartel investigations... to focus on protesters and social media users. It's ridiculous. How many violent criminals are getting away just so feds can dig into civilians exercising their First Amendment rights? This is obviously a very dangerous compromise of public safety to serve radical, extremist, far-right political objectives.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is such a massive leap forward that it honestly deserves to be called V4.5. Yet they just slapped a date tag onto 4.1 like it is some minor bug fix. At this point, you can run almost anything you need a frontier model for right at home on your own hardware.
