Theft and Surveillance by Artificial Intelligence in Indian Country

Blocked at Twitter/X While AI Makes its Fortune

This is the post that shut down my Twitter account and banished our links to Censored News for the past decade at Twitter/X. 

Grok, which is Twitter/X's AI, Artificial Intelligence, relies heavily on stealing the copyrighted original work at Censored News for its commercial company. Censored News copyrighted work is dumped in Grok's illegal soup pot, and the soup mix produces mixed up and outdated answers.

The AI companies chat and search answers on Native issues that are incorrect more than half the time, according to our research for months.

Besides AI's theft and misinformation, these are the same data centers poisoning the air and rivers, and stealing the water. They steal the water in the desert, make the rivers too hot for the salmon, and poison the air.

Your social media accounts are data scraped by AI's profit making companies, that include Indigenous knowledge, Native languages, copyrighted books and music, and your children's photos.

From stealing the water to stealing the words and knowledge, this is what the corporate world does best to make their fortunes. And the courts are helping them as usual, to steal land and water use, and rule in favor of the Dakota Access Pipeline and its surveillance and law enforcement network..

Don't be fooled by those promoting A.I. -- whether its the United Nations or college professors.

Epstein secretly funded colleges to promote his agenda, and that included his agenda of A.I. Epstein hid the money flowing by using non-profits. In Indian country, MIT and its staff on the Navajo Nation was funded by Epstein.

Epstein funded MIT's Joi Ito, which received funding for ASU journalism students

Joi Ito, reported to Epstein when he was on the Navajo Nation. Joi Ito, Japanese American, and MIT's Media Lab director, relied on Epstein for his funding. A year after Joi was on the Navajo Nation, MIT carried out health screening of Navajo preschoolers in Tuba City, Shonto and Kayenta.

The college students, some studying genetics and DNA, took blood samples of Dine' preschoolers. At the time, Joi promoted genetics and Crypto currency.

Epstein's money flow to the ASU's school of journalism and media students, which partners with the Indigenous Journalists Association.

Joi Ito, the head of MIT Media Labs, was funded by Epstein. Epstein hid the money flow, which was revealed in the release of the Epstein files.

Epstein was prohibited from this funding because he was already a convicted sex offender. Epstein pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges: soliciting a prostitute and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution in 2008 in Florida. 

Joi served as a trustee on a non-profit, the Knight Foundation, that provided large grants to Arizona State University for media and television.

When Epstein was sent to prison in 2019, Joi served as a trustee on the board of the John S and James L Knight Foundation.

The non-profit gave ASU two grants totaling $775,000 for "cutting edge" media projects in television and broadcasting, as shown on the Knight Foundation's tax return, Censored News investigation reveals.

The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU receives direct funding from the university. During the same years as the funding, on July 24, 2019, Indian Country Today's headquarters officially moved to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at ASU.

The ASU journalism school on campus also partners with the Indigenous Journalists Association, formerly the Native American Journalists Association.
