Elon Musk Fears His Starlink Could Be Misused to Trigger ‘WW3’
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said he fears that his rocket company’s Starlink satellite Internet system could be misused in a way that could “lead to WW3.”
Musk raised the alarm after former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly challenged him on Twitter to “support” Ukraine.
Kelly was responding to reports that Starlink would limit access to the war-torn nation’s military amid fears the system was being “weaponized.”
During the early months of the war last year, Musk donated Starlink’s service to Ukraine for free after Russia took out infrastructure to take down the country’s Internet.
Starlink uses to network of satellites to beam its Internet connection down to the ground and can provide access to anywhere in the world, even the most remote parts of the globe.
“Ukraine desperately needs your continued support,” Kelly tweeted Musk.
“Please restore the full functionality of your Starlink satellites.
“Defense from a genocidal invasion is not an offensive capability.
“It’s survival. Innocent lives will be lost,” he wrote.
“You can help. Thank you.”
However, Musk shot back that Kelly was “smart enough not to swallow media & other propaganda bs.”
He stressed that the SpaceX-run internet service remains “the communication backbone of Ukraine, especially at the front lines, where almost all other Internet connectivity has been destroyed.
“But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3,” Musk warned.

I posted about doing muh taxes a couple of weeks ago. I was floored at how much I owed and I knew something was amiss. My post was essentially saying that, when people en masse begin to do their 2022 tax returns, they are in for a shock and there will beoutrage. Well, its' still early, but here's a related story at this early stage of tax season:
Tax refunds are almost 11% smaller this year, early data shows
Tax refunds so far this year are markedly smaller than the same time a year ago, according to the earliest data from the Internal Revenue Service, an outcome that many tax experts were expecting.
The average refund amount was $1,963 as of Feb. 3, down 10.8% from $2,201 the same period last year, the IRS reported. That’s based on nearly 8 million refunds the agency has distributed this year versus 4.33 million refunds disbursed last year. Still, a higher share of taxpayers have received refunds so far this year, with 48% of processed returns getting a refund compared with 33% last year at this time.
While the average amount likely will change as more returns are processed, the early data suggests that the loss of several enhanced pandemic-era tax breaks could mean a smaller, key windfall for many American households.
"I would argue that people's tax refunds are going to be less because of the fact that they are not going to get these special pandemic provisions anymore,” Eric Bronnenkant, head of tax at Betterment, told Yahoo Finance before the figures were released. “Obviously, everyone's situation is unique, buton average refunds are going to be smallerdue to less stimulus."

Bill Gates Pushes Disturbing Plan to Fight ‘Digital Misinformation’
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is pushing a disturbing dystopian plan to fight so-called “digital misinformation” and “political polarization” online.
Speaking during a new podcast interview with German news media outlet Handelsblatt,Gates argues that artificial intelligence (AI) should be used to police the speech of humans on the Internet.
When asked about “political polarization” and “misinformation,” Gates gave the Jan. 6 as an example, which he referred to as an “attack” against the Capitol.
He continued by declaring thathe’s still “in a state of shock” over people questioning the 2020 election results.
“I’m certainly concerned about political polarization, and I know the U.S. situation best of all,” Gates said.
“I wouldn’t have expected people to attack the Capitol, or people to deny the validity of election results.
“I’m in a state of shock about that.
“We can’t blame AI for that,” he continued.
“That happened.
“It may have been magnified by digital channels that allow various conspiracy theories likeQAnonor whatever to be blasted out by people who wanted to believe those things.
“So, the digital tools may have played an auxiliary role.”
“You’ll have to take AI into consideration” to “solve the digital misinformation [problem],” Gates added.
He continued by describing “political polarization” as another social problem that could be partially remedied via the use of AI to reduce “confirmation bias.”
Gates touted the use of applications of generative AI like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which he says could improve office efficiency, drafting invoices, and letters
“This will change our world,”he declared.

Exactly. Elections have consequences, fraud not withstanding. There will be REEEEEEEES!
Michigan Gov. Whitmer Slams DeSantis' Governing Style
Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Sunday that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' governing style in Florida is "incredibly destructive."
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," Whitmer called out DeSantis for waging culture wars. DeSantis has ushered in legislation to prohibit classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade; and he has declared his stance against teachings of critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
"I don't really know Ron DeSantis, so it's hard for me to say anything real substantive," Whitmer said. "I'll say this: When I took my oath of office, I took an oath to be the governor for all of the people of Michigan. I don't wage culture wars; I fight culture wars, because I'm focused on solving problems.
"I think it's incredibly destructive when people just try to pit others against one another, stoke fear. I think that's a really destructive way to lead."
Whitmer and DeSantis won reelection in November by wide margins in states that usually have competitive gubernatorial races. DeSantis is considered a possible candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, although he has yet to declare his intentions. Whitmer said she has no intention to run and will back President Joe Biden, should he chose to run again.
Without addressing DeSantis directly, Whitmer said she doesn't like politicians who use fear and misinformation to advance their political agenda.
"I think that there are people who are out there that stoke fear and anger and misinformation to help themselves politically," she said. "I'm not saying who I think falls into that category. I'm just saying that's not how I operate. And every governor takes an oath to serve all the people in their state, whether they voted for them or not. And that's what should drive every decision — whether it's the budget you write, to the bills that you sign into law, to the rhetoric that you use: the people you share stages with."
