New York City says there’s no money, yet Zohran Mamdani just signed a $1.86 BILLION no bid contract to house people in hotels.

That’s about $330 per night per room, nearly $10,000 per month or $120,000 per year. (per homeless individual)

This is wild. 143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.

Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.

Players didn’t just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.

Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.

The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren’t being assembled in data centers. They’re being built by people who have no idea they’re building them.

Zerohedge Update – Monday 03/16 – Allies Balk As Trump Pushes Joint Military Action To Reopen Hormuz – Iran Says No Ceasefire On Table

“As far as I’m concerned, we have essentially defeated Iran,” President Trump said in some of latest remarks aboard Air Force One. “They want to negotiate badly, as they should, but I don’t think they’re ready to do what they have to do… We will finish the job,” he claimed.

But then on Monday Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected calls for a ceasefire, insisting Tehran intends to impose steep and bloody costs on the aggressors. “The reason we say we do not want a ceasefire is not because we are seeking war, but because this time this war must end in such a way that our enemies never again think of repeating these attacks,” Araghchi said at a press conference.

Chuck Schumer has unleashed so much chaos that now the CEOs of America’s largest airlines are DEMANDING Democrats reopen DHS

“Frustration is boiling over…the heads of American, Delta, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska, United Airlines, among others, are calling for lawmakers to come together to find a solution.”

“In an open letter, they write, ‘Americans who live in your districts and home states are tired of long lines at airports, travel delays, and flight cancellations caused by shutdown after shutdown. Now it’s up to you, Congress, to move forward on bipartisan proposals that will get federal aviation workers, including TSA officers, U.S. Customs clearance officers at airports, and air traffic controllers paid during shutdowns.'”

AI SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING

Netanyahu posted a proof-of-life video. People said it was AI because he had 6 fingers. He posted another one ordering coffee and showing 5 fingers. People said that was AI too because the coffee didn’t spill.

We’ve crossed a line we can’t uncross. The same AI tools that can generate a convincing fake of anyone on Earth have made it impossible to prove anything is real.

The technology that was supposed to give us more information has made all information less trustworthy.

This isn’t about Netanyahu. Every world leader, every CEO, every public figure now lives in a world where “that’s AI” is an unfalsifiable response to any evidence.

Proof of life now requires multiple videos, press witnesses, and cafe Instagram posts. People still don’t believe it.

We built tools so powerful that seeing is no longer believing. Nobody has figured out what replaces it.

$USD $100 is critical support and resistance! IMO, it’s going higher, which means Gold/Silver go lower.

Energy Secretary Directs Oil Company To Resume Operations In California, Citing National Security

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on March 13 directed the Texas-based oil company Sable Offshore Corp. to restore operations in water off southern California. Wright invoked the Defense Production Act to restore the company’s Santa Ynez Unit and Pipeline System near Santa Barbara to address supply disruption risks that “have left the region and U.S. military forces dependent on foreign oil,” according to a Department of Energy news release.

“The Trump Administration remains committed to putting all Americans and their energy security first,” Wright said in a statement.  “Unfortunately, some state leaders have not adhered to those same principles, with potentially disastrous consequences not just for their residents, but also our national security.

“Today’s order will strengthen America’s oil supply and restore a pipeline system vital to our national security and defense, ensuring that West Coast military installations have the reliable energy critical to military readiness.”

Now They Are Actually Admitting That There Is A Massive “Gravity Hole” Underneath Antarctica?

For decades, we were told to ignore any of the strange reports that we were hearing about Antarctica. Experts assured us that nothing unusual was going on and that there wasn’t anything to be concerned about. Of course we couldn’t go investigate for ourselves, because as you will see below, there are 72 areas of Antarctica that only those with a special permit are allowed to enter. And if you try to fly to Antarctica without authorization, you will get into all sorts of trouble.

But the experts are insisting that there really isn’t anything particularly special about it. In fact, they try to make it sound as boring as possible…

Dr. Charles Hoffe explains his war with BC Health and their attempts to destroy him for not conforming to their physician vax injection mandate (bioweapon / eugenics )

IMO — this is MUST WATCH — only 8 minutes — consider it preparation for the next plandemic (should drop anytime now).

NOTE (in particular) the NEW BC RULES including HEAVY fines ($200K) and 6 Months JAIL TIME that now apply to BC doctors that say ANYTHING different from BC Health (including having their medical license revoked).

What COVID Policy Did To Doctors Who Refused To Stay Silent

The sound I remember most from the early days of Covid-19 is not the alarms. It was the silence between them. Intensive care units became Covid wards. Monitors glowed in dark rooms while ventilators pushed air into failing lungs. Nurses, shrouded in protective gear, moved quietly. Families were absent—barred from being with loved ones in their final hours.

VIA RASMUSSEN

McLaughlin Poll: “The United States military actions against Iran and the leadership of the Iranian regime were necessary and warranted to protect American lives today and in the future.”

A clear majority — 57% of likely voters — agreed, while only 33% disagreed.

Support was particularly strong among voters planning to support Republican candidates for Congress, where agreement reached 87%, compared with just 7% who disagreed.

Even among voters still undecided about their congressional vote, the statement won majority support at 51% to 29%.

The results also show meaningful support among several key demographic groups.

Among independent voters, 46% agreed the action was necessary, compared with 40% who disagreed.

Among Hispanic voters, agreement was 56% to 33%, and among women, the margin was 47% to 38% in favor.”

We welcome any regional initiative that leads to a fair end to the war,” Iran FM Abbas Araghchi told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, in a rare sign of a possible shift in stance from Iran, where officials have previously said they could sustain the conflict for months. “Ending the war is conditional on guarantees that it won’t be repeated and on the payment of compensation.”

Araghchi also said the strait was only shut to US ships and those of its allies.

TRUMP ON ZALENSKY

In a new interview with NBC News, primarily about Iran, Trump absolutely lambasts Zelensky.

Trump says:

-Putin wants to make a deal
-Zelensky does not want to make a deal
-Zelensky is far more difficult to deal with

He also said “the last person we need help from is Zelensky”, when asked about Zelensky offering assistance with intercepting drones.

Trump has made his stance pretty clear on Zelensky
