An anti-AI activist in California has been missing for about two weeks, according to The Atlantic, and now his friends are scared for his safety while San Francisco police fear he could target OpenAI employees. The activist in question, a 27 year old named Sam Kirchner, helped start the Stop AI group last year with a commitment to non-violent protest, but became frustrated and angry that the group's efforts didn't go quickly or far enough as he increasingly saw AI as a
Experts have told the Guardian the same anti-fascist groups the US state department recently named as foreign terrorist organizations and accused of conspiring to undermine foundations of western civilization barely qualify as groups, let alone terrorist organizations, and pose no active threat to Americans.

After years of drifting ideology giving way to vibes, personality eclipsing principle a question has finally forced itself into view: Who gets to decide what it means to be right-wing? That question snapped into focus when Tucker Carlson chose to host Nick Fuentes, an openly antisemitic, white-supremacist troll. Fuentes is not complicated. He is clear. He is poison.

When he discovered black metal, I followed him there too. Soon, my bedroom began to resemble a mausoleum: there were band posters featuring men made up to look like corpses glowering into Nordic fog, and CDs with tracklists that looked more like incantations than music. I began dressing the part black on black on black. I scoured forums for rare pressings and live bootlegs.
