AI Robotic Beehives Installed In Florida Community Claim 70% Reduction In Colony Collapse Threatening Crops

A Florida community has deployed AI-powered robotic beehives as declining bee populations continue raising concerns about the future of the US food supply, according to FOX 13 Tampa Bay.

The Angeline development in Land O’ Lakes recently became the first master-planned community to install Beewise’s automated BeeHome system, which uses robotics, sensors and artificial intelligence to monitor hive health and protect colonies from environmental threats.

The technology arrives as bee populations across the United States continue facing pressure from parasites, pesticides, disease and extreme weather conditions that experts say threaten agriculture nationwide.

“Bees pollinate roughly 75% of the crops we eat and about 80% of flowering plants around the word,” Beewise Managing Director Steve Peck said. “So, without those bees, our food supply is in jeopardy.”

The community relies on bees to pollinate a 2.5-acre farm that helps supply produce used throughout the development.

The BeeHome system uses internal cameras, sensors and robotic components to inspect hives and identify problems that traditionally require manual beekeeper oversight.

“The robotics know where it is in the frame or where it is in the hive at any point,” Peck said. “It can pick it up just like a beekeeper would, inspect it, and report that back to technicians around the world.”

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta kicks off major bloodbath with 8,000 layoffs as AI roils tech giant

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta on Wednesday kicked off a major bloodbath with 8,000 layoffs — among the largest in the social media giant’s history — as a disruptive shift toward artificial intelligence continues to roil the tech giant. 

Employees were told in April that a 10% reduction of the workforce was coming on May 20, and earlier this week, they were reportedly informed that another 7,000 staffers would be reassigned to AI-focused positions.

Meta’s offices are set to be mostly deserted Wednesday after human resources chief Janelle Gale told North American employees to work from home in an email this week, according to an internal document earlier reported by Reuters.

The companywide purge is taking place in three massive waves, as employees across the world are notified in emails at 4 a.m. local time in their respective regions.

Singapore staffers were the first to receive the doomsday emails.

Meta did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

AI Content Is Swamping The Internet: How It Impacts Critical Thinking

A never-ending flood of content generated by artificial intelligence is reshaping the internet and the way people engage with information faster than ever.

From news summaries to social media posts to academic research, the sheer volume of machine-assisted materials has been correlated with a spike in “cognitive offloading” – a phenomenon in which people outsource critical thinking and verification to automated systems.

A 2025 analysis of how AI tools affect cognitive offloading showed a “significant negative correlation” between frequent use of AI tools and the ability to think critically in people across age groups and educational backgrounds. The researchers at the SBS Swiss Business School found that younger age groups exhibited a higher amount of dependence on AI models and lower critical thinking scores.

What’s more troubling is a Pangram/YouGov study in May that found only 55 percent of participants, all of whom were Gen Zers aged 18 to 28, were able to identify fake or misleading AI-generated material. That number is lower in older age groups, which means half or fewer of adults over the age of 28 were confident in their ability to spot AI content online.

Why Libertarians Fall for the AI Trap

The artificial intelligence boom has become one of the biggest engines of the American economy. It has also triggered a growing backlash against the data centers that make the boom possible. Tech moguls have rushed to build giant warehouses packed with the computing power needed to run AI systems, but they have done almost nothing to explain to ordinary Americans why those facilities deserve so much land, water, electricity, and political favoritism.

That failure should have created an obvious opening for libertarians. Governments shower data-center projects with subsidies, wield eminent domain to seize land, and help politically connected corporations reshape local communities in the name of technological progress. A coherent libertarian response would attack the merger of state power and corporate power.

Instead, many libertarians have chosen to cheer the expansion without asking what the technology will be used for or whom it will serve. Their quasi-religious loyalty to capital has pushed them into another foolish position and exposed the danger of turning an economic theory into a full worldview.

The tech elite insist that AI will revolutionize the world, but they have done almost nothing to tell average people how their own lives will improve. Silicon Valley entrepreneurs spin wild stories about superhuman intelligence and the automation of tens of millions of jobs. That does not sound like a sales pitch. It sounds like the setup for a science-fiction dystopia. The one concrete justification they offer is strategic: AI will supposedly define the future of warfare, and America must stay ahead of China.

That argument would carry more weight if the same people pushing AI were not also so committed to building the kind of technology most likely to be used against Americans. They are not preparing some noble shield for the republic. They are building tools that can make the United States look a lot more like the techno-authoritarian China they claim to fear.

The Technocratic Takeover: Why We Must Resist the Digital Enslavement of Humanity

The Time to Resist is NOW

We are living through the most audacious power grab in human history. The technocratic elite, hiding behind the mask of innovation and efficiency, are systematically dismantling the last vestiges of human autonomy.

They prioritize machines over men, algorithms over souls, and data centers over families. The recent news from Lake Tahoe, where Nevada Power plans to cut off 50,000 residents to feed the insatiable appetite of a data center, is not an anomaly. It is a warning. It reveals the true priority: artificial intelligence over human life.

This is not a bug in the system; it is the feature. The technocrats have designed a world where your right to light your home, cook your food, and keep your children warm is secondary to the processing power demanded by their digital overlords.

The Data Center Heist: Power for Machines, Darkness for People

When a utility company decides that 50,000 households are expendable so that a single data center can run its servers, you are witnessing the naked face of technocratic tyranny. The excuse pushed by the corporate media is that we must ‘beat China’ in the AI race. But as I have previously stated, this is a smokescreen for building the infrastructure of a total surveillance state [1]. These data centers are not about convenient search results or better movie recommendations; they are about power — both electrical and political.

Consider the rapid transformation of states like Ohio into the so-called ‘Silicon Heartland.’ The state’s transformation owes much to public-private partnerships pioneered by elites with deep ties to intelligence agencies and globalist financial networks [2]. The real goal is not to serve humanity but to create a centralized network of control. Every megawatt diverted to an AI server farm is a megawatt stolen from your kitchen, your hospital, and your community. The technocrats believe your comfort and survival are negotiable. I believe they are not.

The Surveillance State and the Simulated World

The mapping of our entire world for AI metaverses is a pretext for total surveillance. As Alexander Mercouris and I have discussed, the drive to create digital twins of everything — including you — is the first step toward making the biological human obsolete [3]. This isn’t just about tracking your purchases or your location; it is about creating a digital copy of your consciousness, ready to be uploaded into a machine that has no need for flesh, blood, or a soul.

For years, we have known that the CIA actively nurtured platforms like Google to fight an ‘information war’ against the public [4]. Now that war has escalated. The goal is to replace messy, unpredictable human beings with predictable, programmable digital assets. Show me a government pushing for a central bank digital currency, and I will show you a government preparing to turn you into a number in their digital ledger. Show me a corporation building a ‘social credit’ system, and I will show you a jailer building a cage without bars. The only way to resist is to recognize that your consciousness is real and cannot be simulated. Your soul was not designed to be uploaded, replicated or simulated.

Mind Control and the Mental Health Crisis: The War on Your Brain

The epidemic of anxiety, depression, and suicide among young people is not an accident. It is the product of a century-old program of mass mind control, updated for the digital age. In a revealing 1958 interview, Aldous Huxley predicted that technology would bypass reason and manipulate behavior through subliminal means [5]. Today, that prediction is fulfilled by the algorithms of social media platforms and the non-stop fear mongering of cable news.

This is MK Ultra for the masses. The constant barrage of fear, division, and isolation is engineered to make us docile, disconnected from reality, and dependent on the very system that is poisoning us. The technocrats do not want you thinking clearly. They want you anxious, scrolling, and compliant. The solution begins with a simple act of rebellion: turn off the television. Put down the smartphone that is tracking your every move. Reclaim your attention from the algorithms that feed on your fear. Your mind is the last battleground, and you must win it back.

SURPRISE: Moderna began work on Ebola mRNA vaccine just months ago

Well, what do we have here?

Not long ago I reported on how the vaccine maker Moderna had in fact begun development of an mRNA vaccine against hantavirus already in 2024.

What is also interesting is how they had a patent on a particular sequence that happened to also be in the covid virus. And this particular sequence is actually what made it unique and very infectious to humans. They got this patent years before the outbreak of covid.

Now, guess what?

The WHO has just declared a global health emergency over the Ebola outbreak that has happened in Africa.

Now the mainstream media has gone into full panic mode over Ebola, and it seems like the previous fearmongering over hantavirus just disappeared almost overnight.

Guess what I found?

Turns out that just some months ago Moderna began development of a new mRNA vaccine against Ebola with $26.7 MILLION in funding from an organization called CEPI.

This together with Oxford University who is also creating an Ebola vaccine on the same platform as the AstraZeneca covid vaccine.

Guess who is a major backer of this CEPI organization?

Bill Gates of course.

So what is going on?

Oh, and AI will be used to help develop this new Ebola vaccine to trigger a strong immune response.

Accusations grow over ChatGPT’s possible role in Florida State U. shooting

Artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT is facing multiple accusations that it is liable for a mass shooting at Florida State University.

Both the state’s attorney general and the family of a slain university worker accuse the platform, which is owned by OpenAI, of aiding in the April 17, 2025 shooting that killed two people and wounded six others.

Attorney General James Uthmeier says his office is “demanding answers on OpenAI’s activities that have hurt kids, endangered Americans, and facilitated the recent FSU mass shooting.”

“Wrongdoers must be held accountable,” Uthemeier said in an X post.

Similarly, a federal lawsuit, filed on May 11, accuses the platform of not recognizing red flags in messages sent by Phoenix Ikner, who is facing a trial in October for the shootings. The estate of slain Aramark supervisor Tiru Chabba similarly accuses ChatGPT of complicity in the killing.

Florida State University deferred comment to the Attorney General’s office, who then referred The Fix to its April 21 news release. 

The release states: “Florida law states that anyone who aids, abets, or counsels someone in the commission of a crime, and that crime is committed or attempted, may be considered a principal to the crime. The ‘aider and abettor’ is just as responsible for the crime as the perpetrator.”

You can now legally request revenge and deepfake porn to be taken down. Here’s how

Online platforms are now required by law to remove non-consensual intimate images within 48 hours of reporting, as a federal law criminalizing the sharing of such content goes into full effect Tuesday.

President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law last year, which makes it illegal to publish online nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, real or artificially generated. But the act gave online platforms one year to create a process for removing such imagery within 48 hours of notification from users. If online platforms fail to do so, they could face civil penalties of $53,088 per violation. That one year deadline expired on Tuesday.

The provisions now going into effect ensure that tech companies “can no longer turn a blind eye to these horrifying abuses on social media,” Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who co-wrote the bill with Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, said in a statement.

The Federal Trade Commission, which will enforce the law, sent letters to major online platforms last week warning them about compliance. That includes popular social platforms such as Meta, Snapchat, TikTok and X, along with gaming platforms and dating apps Bumble and Match Group, Reddit, Discord, Pinterest and tech giants Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft.

Any business that “primarily provides a forum for user-generated content or regularly publishes, curates, hosts, or furnishes intimate content shared without consent,” is subject to the law, according to the FTC.

The other provision of the law applying to individuals who post non-consensual intimate imagery is already in effect. Violators can face fines and up to two years in prison.

“Stop Hiring Humans” Billboards Are Appearing In U.S. Cities…

“Stop Hiring Humans.” Those words are now plastered on billboards from San Francisco to New York City, courtesy of a San Francisco-based startup pushing virtual AI sales representatives.

The company, Artisan, markets AI agents that handle outbound sales tasks like lead generation, cold emailing, list-building, and prospecting. Their message is blunt: the era of AI employees is here.

Artisan’s campaign highlights a growing trend of AI replacing human roles in sales and beyond.

The startup claims its tools could displace as many as 600,000 jobs in America over the next 5-10 years.

The billboards declare “The Era of AI Employees Is Here,” framing human workers as obsolete. Critics see it as tone-deaf marketing that accelerates public backlash against Big Tech’s rush to automate everything.

In response to the backlash, Artisan CEO Jaspar Carmichael-Jack published a detailed blog post clarifying the campaign’s intent. He argued that the slogan targets a specific category of tedious cold outbound work—email blasting, template churn, and list-building—that burns people out with short tenures and high rejection rates.

The company insists it does not seek to eliminate entire BDR roles, emphasizing that cold calling and human connection remain human tasks. Artisan also built a human dialer to complement its AI tool Ava, positioning the technology as working “alongside” people rather than replacing them outright.

Jury Sides Against Musk in OpenAI Lawsuit

A federal jury in Oakland, California, went against Elon Musk Monday in a case he brought against OpenAI, alleging the company’s leadership “stole a charity” when they converted it into a for-profit entity.

Through his lawsuit, Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, sought the removal of Sam Altman as CEO and company president Greg Brockman from their leadership roles, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Musk also wanted an “unwinding of the company’s recent conversion to a more traditional governance structure and damages worth more than $180 billion to be paid into an OpenAI foundation,” the news outlet added.

The jury found all of Musk’s claims fell outside the statute of limitations.

Fox Business reported that Musk left OpenAI in 2018 when he was unable to persuade the company’s leadership to merge with Tesla. OpenAI is the company behind ChatGPT.

“In his lawsuit, Musk accused OpenAI of violating its founding mission as a nonprofit to develop AI for the benefit of humanity when the startup created a for-profit entity in 2019,” Fox Business said.
