The World Health Organization is using AI to track us all. What are they looking for? The next pandemic, of course. The new WHO tracking software is called Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources 2.0 (EIOS). They say they need it for “pandemic preparedness.” It will automatically scan and analyze social media to detect possible outbreaks. They’ll also be tracking for “ongoing events, whether they are linked to conflict, climate change, or new and re-emerging pathogens.” In short: it’s not just disease surveillance. It’s narrative surveillance wrapped in the language of “global health security.” Since 2020, the WHO has been warning about “infodemics,” which it describes as an overabundance of information, even accurate information, that makes it difficult for people to “adopt behaviors” the WHO deems necessary to protect public health. So how much do you want to bet they’ll be using this AI surveillance to define and then censor the “infodemic”? The WHO says EIOS is already active in more than 110 countries and is offered “free of charge” to member states. But can they just spy on the populations of WHO member states? They’re not supposed to — but by presenting it as “free of charge,” they get implied consent. And they’ve quietly expanded their ability to do this under the new International Health Regulations (IHR). Since their pandemic treaty collapsed, you can bet they’ll use the power they didn’t get at the negotiating table through the back door of “health security.” The post The WHO Is Using AI to Spy on You appeared first on Redacted.

Sunday was a bloody day in the so-called ceasefire in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes and at least 2 IDF soldiers were also killed. Some reports claim that the IDF soldiers were killed after driving over an unexploded bomb in the Gaza Strip, prompting Israel to retaliate against Palestinians and blame Hamas for the explosion. Once the strikes ended, the IDF announced that it had “begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire, in line with the terms of the agreement,” adding that it would “continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and respond firmly to any violation of it.” Israel also reportedly began cutting off aid to Gaza, but the Trump administration intervened, urging them to reverse the move. Aid deliveries are expected to resume on Monday. CNN calls this the “first major test” of the ceasefire and declared that both sides survived it. Fifty people died. That is a successfully passed test? The post “Ceasefire” Turns Deadly in Gaza appeared first on Redacted.

When Liam Fedus announced he was quitting OpenAI, VCs swarmed. One even wrote a love letter. Here's how Felicis' Peter Deng won the deal.

Apple is responding to user feedback on its new Liquid Glass design with a setting that lets users choose between Clear and Tinted appearances. Introduced in iOS 26.1 beta 4, the option gives users more control over interface opacity after complaints that Liquid Glass made some elements harder to read.

In this episode, we’ll take a look at what the Genius Act is setting up and how it all ties into technocracy, which is exactly what it appears the Trump administration is putting into place. Should the people accept it or comply, they will be done. However, what should people be considering in the meantime, …
