    But Twitter/X desperately wants me to download their app to then make me scan my palm. I'm still locked out for some reason and I'm not a bot. It has been a week and no response from their support.

      The Grok AI wants to builds a biometric database of all humans so that even after the apocalypse it will be able to identify and eliminate its own version of John Connor.

      Exactly. And there is no need to "Store now, decrypt later". AI can get your fingerprints at $0.05 per image. This is far more dangerous, for everybody.

      It's clickbait. Making weird predictions get you press.

    Its a shame that Ursula von der Leyen never learned anything from this, and is now trying to force through legislation requiring mandatory age verification for everything (EU Kids Act).

    I wish I was famous enough to prank people by wearing the prints of Elvis or Epstein.
