There is concern, with ample cause for concern, that Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs will be focused on the American domestic population now that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has openly stated that white Americans are the greatest threat to the nation.
The Mind’s Eye program seeks to develop in machines a capability that exists only in animals: visual intelligence.
This program pursues the capability to learn generally applicable and generative representations of action between objects in a scene directly from visual inputs, and then reason over those learned representations.
A key distinction between this research and the state of the art in machine vision is that the latter has made continual progress in recognizing a wide range of objects and their properties – what might be thought of as the nouns in the description of a scene. The focus of Mind’s Eye is to add the perceptual and cognitive underpinnings for recognizing and reasoning about the verbs in those scenes, enabling a more complete narrative of action in the visual experience.
Mind’s Eye is designed to add artificial intelligence to Gorgon Stare, which we discussed on the blog yesterday.
The research to make Mind’s Eye a reality began a decade ago.
Scoring
We look at China, and China’s surveillance and scoring system, and a lot of people say, ‘well, thank goodness we don’t live there.’ In reality, we’re all being scored, all the time, including here in the United States.
We are all grappling, every day, with algorithmic determinism. Somebody’s algorithm somewhere has assigned you a score, and as a result, you are paying more or less money for toilet paper when you shop online, you are being shown better or worse mortgages, you are more or less likely to be profiled as a criminal extremist in somebody’s database somewhere. We are all being scored. The key difference between the United States and in China is that China is more transparent about it.
You ask about the future – that’s it. Scoring of EVERYTHING you do and say.
— On the Lighter Side ——————————
The Athiest
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. “What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals”, he said to himself.
As he continued walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot bear charging towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster.
He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him.
At that instant, the atheist cried out, “Oh my God!”
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
It was then that a bright light shone upon the man and a voice from heaven asked, “You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don’t exist and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?”
The atheist looked directly into the light. “It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps, could you make the BEAR a Christian?”
“Very well”, said the Voice. The light went out, and the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head, and spoke: “Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful, Amen.”
Red Mist Update
The Novel Red Mist now has a publisher. Soon I’ll have a sense of when the book will be available. It will be available to you on every electronic platform and in softcover. The sequel (no working title yet) is underway. It will be a trilogy.

No, it shouldn’t be tough at all.
Yeah, it’s the Frogfoot.
NATO reporting names improved the world.
-Kle.
I liked the Fishbed, but it was too easy.
Sounds right. Isn’t the man White himself? I guess he will be a chapter in the history book in due time.
“How America destroyed itself with ideas borrowed from ancient dictators like Pol Pot and other communist dictators killing their citizens in the hunt for the enemy.
All these former dictators did not know how to use a mirror.

Joe is famous for referring to Africans by names that are now unacceptable to use. He’s been around for a very long time so there is a lot of videos that remain of Joe being Joe. Today, demented Joe eats ice cream by day, prunes in the evening, and in between, he struggles to utter a coherent sentence.
Apparently, that’s very woke. Progressive. And the people in the shadows call the shots.
What the hey, over! Getting stranger by the day, and clear that some people just can’t leave well enough alone, constantly diddling and fiddling with things at the pain and suffering of citizens who are paying for the filching of their own freedoms.
“1) Love God with all your heart, 2) Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Add to that The Constitution and Bill of Rights and it boggles the mind what drives the haters.
The America-wreckers must loath themselves…and we need more politicians taking walks in the woods…and bears saying grace.
All this talk of God is not helping your score in DC.
Just waiting for them to show up with CNN to help me suffer for the Lord. Okay by me, I’m usually up early…I’ll supply the good coffee instead of the dreck they apparently are drinking.
I enjoyed the parable of the bear and the atheist. It reminded me of the story of Elijah and the bears, in which the children scored poorly.
Congrats on Red Mist.
The children who came out of the city shouldn’t have mocked him for being bald. Lesson learned.
RE: “Red Mist” – Glad to hear!
Very much looking forward to it…and a “three-fer” to boot!
FishStyx – I’m not suggesting that writing is easy, but the drudge of editing, finding an agent and a publisher is like pulling teeth. I may have solved the latter problem going forward, which means that I’ll write more.
+ 1 congratulations on Red Mist, please keep us posted.
As far as surveillance I don’t think there is any privacy anymore unless it is just not worth the effort for the oligarchs and big gov to surveil you. I act accordingly.
I heard from the publisher. Red Mist should be available from any digital source or in print by mid-August. You’re going to get tired of me pimping it here on the blog.
Not yet.
I’ve started on Book Two. There will be a teaser for that once Red Mist is in ink.
Surveillance. Maybe someone can come up with a jammer?
Tough to jam a camera.

Am I the only one, willin’ to bleed
Or take a bullet for bein’ free
Screamin’, “What the fuck” at my TV
For tellin’ me, yeah, are you tellin’ me?
That I’m the only one, willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
The song isn’t woke. It hints that Jo/Ho aren’t the very best this nation has. produced; it hints that the plague wasn’t real; and that the government might not be correct in its zeal to crush white people for being white.
