Hi there, I’m new to this place. When I googled period clots I was led to Reddit and have read A lot of it here.
I know every month I have clots just coming out like a rat in a sewage pipe. So for context, I bleed… I won’t say it’s heavy because idk the bar for what is classified for it.
For years of my life, it’s clots after clots after clots In all those period days, it’s also clothes after clots. The only relieve I got from it is when it’s passed, the pain slightly gets better. But it’s a huge god damn circle. Cause the nex pee sees, more clots. It’s clot town here down my region. I have digressed my apologies. Today I found one slightly different. It wasn’t as watery. It laid on the pad just waving at me. So I went to touch it, it was gunk. It was sticky. So I’m freaking out about this and I’d love if anyone here can help me out and their experiences. I have no one else to turn too…
My history with my period is smt I haven’t touched on. But please help a sisters… e

The whistleblowing by well credentialed insiders such as David Grusch, is not occuring in a vacuum. I think it's important to remember the context of the last 5 years.
The “modern disclosure movement” (post 2017)- started with claims of insiders from within the secret UAP programmes, communicating exactly the same information - alleging secret UAP programmes going back decades, including crash retrievals and reverse engineering. Efforts which had been hidden from executive oversight due to national security concerns.
Namely, through the To the Stars Academy (TTSA) initiative, which brought to the public’s attention key individuals -still intimately involved in the process - such as Chris Mellon and Lue Elizondo. Their actions directly led to the 2017 NY Times article,and pilot testimonies to congress. And indirectly, to the Senate hearings, and the formation of the UAP Task Force and AARO. As well as the continued activism of pilots.
I cannot assess Grusch’s claims on the basis of the frankly ridiculous sound bites televised, but nevertheless - I think this information is key to evaluating his claims - and those of others who come forward.
The story is too elaborate to recap fully, but I recommend RedPandaKoala's excellent video on the origins of this movement, which provides good suggestions as to the identities of the people involved.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BjUK5V5sTg&t=611s
I've included information on claims by previous insiders or those connected to them, which may or may not accord with future leaks.
Recap:
Tom DeLonge claims to have had a series of meetings with someone he calls "The General" and other top brass, including an executive at Lockheed Skunkworks, which ultimately lead to the formation of TTSA.
These claims are lent weight by the leak of Hilary Clinton's emails in the run up to the presidential election, which established that he, and Podesta were in communication with General McCassland, head of Foreign Technology Research Division at Wright Patterson Airbase. The same base long linked to UAP secrecy, since at least the Roswell era. And the same base where multiple senators recently gathered for a briefing.
It has been specualted that the original plan was for the "disclosure" process to occur through the expected Hilary Clinton administration, but plans were put on hold due to Trump's win. This was probably as Clinton was sympathetic to disclosure, and this could be established directly by the insiders without revealing their identity, and without elaborate public engagement methods made against a hostile Executive. Instead the TTSA intiative was formed to trigger diclosure through the media and Senate engagement. It doesn't seem to be disclosure as is normally understood - it's not coming from the highest levels of Government, but from insiders who want to disclose what they know without reprisals.
According to multiple sources - including Eric Westeinstein and Sam Harris, some of these insiders have continued to reach out directly to public intectuals, claiming to have irrefutable evidence of Non Human Intelligence.
His claims are also lent weight by the fact that he was connected with UAP insiders including the head of Lockheed Skunkworks Steve Justice, Chris Mellon (DoD), Jim Semivan (CIA) and Lue Elizondo - who had recently left the Government's as yet unacknowledged UFO programme AATIP, to form what would become To The Stars Academy (TTSA). If DeLonge has no sources or connections, how was he put in touch with these people, and why did they ally with him, risking their own reputations?
He claims to have been told by The General, that they encountered a lifeform during the Cold War. He told him that some bad decisions were made in response, but this occurred in the context of the Cold War and the threat of nuclear destruction. This may relate to the cover up from executive oversight, or to certain actions taken against the intelligence(s) behind the UAP phenomena.
This also accords with Richard Dolan's work suggesting that the UAP phenomena was discovered at the same time as the national security aparatus were being set up after WW2, and was classified higher than the atom bomb, due to the fact that it interacted with nuclear assets, and displayed a more advanced technology that would be key in winning the Cold War. In effect a perfect chain of events occured to make it pressing to keep this secret and secure it from other nations to gain advantage, at the same time frame in which the US had unequaled power to create new legislation for secrecy, having just done so with the Manhattan Project.
DeLonge also claims that an elaborate and well hidden project was set up to respond to the NHI (Non Human Intelligence) presence, funded secretly by the petrodollar and hidden until such time as they had the means to defend against incursions. If true, there should be evidence of this in budget anomalies.
He claims, like the Robert Hasting's documentary UFO and Nukes, that both the US and Russia knew about the ET presence, as craft had been present at numerous nuclear tests. And that they cooperated on this issue, which was one of the reasons the Cold War did not go "hot".
He claims that the intelligence behind UAP is referred to by insiders - as The Others . Subsequent information shared by his associates including Elizondo and Jim Semivan, suggests they are best considered NHI (Non Human Intelligence) or ultraterrestrial. I.e unknown form of life - not likely ET. Allegedly Grusch also uses the term NHI based on his sources.
He claims that the Phenomena may not be local to our spacetime/reality frame and is popping into this frame and out again, creating physical manifestations before disappearing. He refers to it as emerging out of “stacked frequencies”.
He claims these "advisors" told him that they wanted the truth of the UFO cover up to come up , as the lie was damaging the Republic and democracy, and that they considered the time was right.
Former CIA manager and future TTSA member Jim Semivan, confirms he first became aware of DeLonge after he grew concerned about how he could be getting such accurate information - though he declines to mention specifically what it was that concerned him. I believe this relates to claims made in DeLonge’s Sekret Machines books. One point that features quite heavily is that multiple powers recovered UAP and were reverse engineering them, another is that they consider that there were multiple NHI’s that were manipulating the geopolitical situation to cause conflict between different nations through delieberate "crashes" of technology. (personally I suspect it has to be something much more specific than this).
Following this DeLonge set up TTSA with Lue Elizondo and Chris Mellon, which led to the UAP videos being released and the NY Times article being written. Specifically Mellon and Elizondo were invovled in getting the leaked UAP videos released and briefing the NY Times authors about AATIP. The same authors involved in the Debrief's new article about Grusch
This then led to pilots coming forward and briefing congress with the assistance of Chris Mellon.
This has subsequently led to the formation of the UAP Task Force, now AARO and the whistleblower legislation.
The information suggests that TTSA were dropped as a vehicle for these insiders to disclose informationm after their efforts gained significant media and Senate enagement. As many have suggested DeLonge may have been used as both a well known public figure to gain traction, and because he injected a degree of plausible deniability. It’s notable that two of the most instrumental figures behind the scenes in Senate/DoD developments were TTSA members, and that there is suggestive information from Elizondo’s comments that he may have been read into the more clandestine program. Mellon also claims direct knowledge of secret UAP projects - does this date back to the TTSA period, and was he also read in?
There are multiple other claims that corroborate this picture of secret UAP crash retrieval and reversal engineering projects, including the Wilson Memo and claims of Dr Eric Davis. As well as the claims made by Ross Coulthart in his book In Plane Sight. I've summarised some of them at the end.
Implications:
It is proven that -at the very least - DeLonge and associates had connections to highly placed insiders within the military industrial complex, and that the TTSA effort significantly contributed to the current Senate oversight and whistleblowing legislation, in particular through the continued involvement of Chris Mellon and Lue Elizondo:
If his claims are true:
This whole initiative started with a faction in the classified world with direct knowledge of UAP crash retrievals ,who had concerns about a lack of democratic oversight and sought for the information to come out in a controlled way. We can interpret this as accurate, or as propoganda (DeLonge refers to them as heroes). Regardless, it seems probably, though not certain - that UFO hearings and whistleblower protection were the long term goal, if not full disclosure.
In this context, the disclosures made by whistleblowers are not surprising at all. They are the result of a series of actions behind the scenes which have allowed insiders to privately state what they know ,without facing sanction for breaking their NDA's.
Why is this important?

We already have lines of enquiry about secret UAP projects, and suggestions of the personnel involved, as well as information on who may have been subsequently read into them. This provides an avenue for congressional and journalistic enquiry, which may be important should the story escalate.
We can evaluate emerging claims made by whistleblowers in light of claims already made by seemingly well connected insiders such as DeLonge and the TTSA alumni to see if they agree.
Conversely, we can retrospectively evaluate the claims made by DeLonge and TTSA to see if the information accords with current disclosures.
The narrative proposed suggests that the whistleblowers are a direct result of initiatives by insiders within these same UAP projects. That makes it important for considering who benefits, and why people are coming forward now.

Questions:
⦁ Have Tom's advisors - such as the General and Lockheed executives given evidence to Congress? And was this the plan all along - to create a safe mechanism to do so without revealing themselves directly?
⦁ Was Lue Elizondo read into the "real" deep state UAP programme after he left AATIP? He certainly claims to have far more information about the nature of the UAP intelligences and the actions taken by the Government than would be easily explained by his role in AATIP - which was a sub devision of the broader AAWSAP programme. This may also explain why DeLonge's advisors - within the programme - put them both in touch.
⦁ Will David Grusch's information (if the full details are published/shown as promised) - accord with what DeLonge has said about the cover up and secret UFO programmes?
⦁ If as DeLonge claims - and Grusch also claims (according to Couldhart) the Russians and other powers are aware of the NHI presence and have been in an arms race to recover and reverse engineer crashed craft, (potentially with some form of collaboration) - does this have a bearing on current disclosure? Presumably the disclosure of NHI tech would have a significant bearing on the current geo-political situation? Particularly if the US or other powers have functioning craft or tech derived from UAP's. Also, if there was some kind of accord, do the insiders consider that Russia has broken this by threatening to use nuclear weapons?
⦁ What do Chris Mellon, Jim Semivan, Steve Justice et all know about the real UFO reverse engineering projects. It's impossible to believe that as members of TTSA and confidants of DeLonge ,they did not know about his claims to have been briefed by the insiders from within the deep state UAP project.
⦁ Are Senators aware of how the current process began, and the claims made by DeLonge that it started with insiders from within the military industrial complex. Has DeLonge been invited to give evidence?
Points to look out for in Grusch's longer interview:
I consider that there are some major claims already out there about the nature of the UAP Phenomena and the coverup, that it’s important to consider in light of new evidence. Most relate to information that DeLonge/Elizondo and TTSA put forward, but where appropriate I have noted other sources that agree. Unfortunately, it’s not practical to source them all, but you are welcome to look into them if you have the time.
I have only included claims/observations that come from people I consider may have have direct insider knowledge, as opposed to speculations from ufology in general. It's highly unlikely all of them will be accurate.
UAP projects:
⦁ AATIP/AAWSAP/AARO are not the real UAP projects - other projects exist within hidden mechanisms of the deep state. (Delonge/the Wilson Memo/Mellon)
⦁ The projects exists within unacknowledged special access programmes.
⦁ The cover up is connected to Wright Patterson , Lockheed Martin and the Department of Energy (DOE).
⦁ In particular the Foreign Technology Research Division at Wright Patterson AFB.
⦁ The DOE mechanism for secrecy is effective, as they are a civilian organisation, and I believe are not subject to FOIA, with their own parallel Q Clearance. It's suggested it also it fell into the pervue as it was determined at an early stage post WW2 that UFO encounters were correlated with nuclear tests and facilities.
⦁ Materials are also held by private contactors, some of which may no longer be under government pervue.
⦁ There are two reasons for this - firstly their scientific and technological know-how, and secondly that as private organisations they are immune from FOIA.
⦁ In many cases the cost of security on these contractor programs is vastly more than the R & D costs (Dr Eric Davis - if memory serves).
⦁ As well as Lockheed, Battelle is also implicated as having UAP materials. (Jacques Vallee)
⦁ There are reverse engineering projects that have been in existence since at least Roswell.
UAP craft and materials:
⦁ The recovered crash material shows unusual metamaterial properties. Such as unusual bismuth zinc alloys which are possibly waveguides for Terahertz radiation. (Putoff/TTSA)
⦁ The metamaterials show unusual Isotope ratios which may indicate they are not manufactured in the solar system (TTSA, Vallee, Nolan)
⦁ These properties of recovered crash materials -were discovered before the advent of metamaterials science.
⦁ The craft show signs of being manufactured at the nanoscale using quantum entanglement and the polarized vacuum. (DeLonge's advisor).
⦁ There is a significant correlation between nuclear facilities and UAP incursions. UAP have turned off and turned on ICMB missiles. (DeLonge, Mellon etc, also Robert Hastings and just about everyone!)
⦁ Multiple UAP were downed by EM pulses from nuclear tests - some on purpose. In particular Starfish Prime. UAP have also been downed in lightning storms. (I believe that relates to Roswell). (DeLonge, and others I believe)
⦁ It's suggested that some UAP were deliberately "crashed" to give different nations technology that would perpetuate conflict. (DeLonge/TTSA)
The nature of the UAP intelligence:
⦁ Insiders believe that the UFO phenomena occurs at the nexus of Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics, and no one really understands it. (Semivan).
⦁ Insiders believe the intelligence may not be alien, but ultraterrestrial. There are no compelling signs they are from outer space. (Delonge, TTSA, Elizondo, Semivan) - seems to be the most striking comonality IMO.
⦁ There are multiple NHI presences with competing goals. (TTSA/DeLonge)
⦁ The phenomena can take/create multiple forms which may not necessarily be representative of their true form or point of origin. (AAWSAP, Kelleher, Semivan)
⦁ EM/plasma manifestations are connected and potentially more primary than the craft/bodies. (AAWSAP)
⦁ The phenomena has been with us through much of our pre-history and may have initiated contacts that were designed to create religious ideologies that favored the NHI’s goals. (DeLonge/Vallee - tentative).
⦁ The phenomena may not be material in out frame of reference, but creates physical manifestations - from EM orbs to craft - from the “ground up”. (AAWSAP, Kelleher et al)
⦁ The phenomena is linked to Psi “paranormal” effects. (AAWSAP/Davis/Vallee)
⦁ The phenomena is linked to the Hitchhiker Effect, where exposure leads to persistent and escalating “paranormal” / Psi” type effects akin to a viral vector. (AAWSAP, Kelleher, Dr Travis Taylor, Dr Eric Davis)
⦁ Exposure to the phenomena including UAP drives and Contact events is correlated with non ionizing radiation injuries and brain changes in the Caudate Putamen region. (Nolan, KelleheAAWASP)
⦁ There are tells that the Phenomena may be from a different frequency of reality emerging into our own, or from that we can observe through the EM spectrum. (Elizondo/DeLonge)
⦁ Highly placed insiders within NASA and the intelligence agencies seek to directly contact the phenomena. See Tyler American Cosmic, and UFO’s of God (Pulsaka/Blesdoe)
⦁ Some if if not all NASA astronauts encountered the phenomena in space and bought something home with them that persists. (Blesdoe referring to information from "Tyler")
⦁ The Phenomena can create religious type manifestation,s including what insiders call manifestations of "the Lady" (Semivan/American Cosmic/Blesdoe/Semivan)
⦁ The UFO phenomena is in direct contact with individuals and the intelligence agencies know this .(DeLonge, Semivan, Pulsaka, Blesdoe etc)
⦁ The Phenomena can appear at will and there is nothing the government can do to stop it. Such as appearing in your room at night - if the Government told people they would need therapy. This is one reason for the coverup, as it’s so disturbing (Semivan)
The Coverup:
⦁ The coverup dates back to at least WW2 - DeLonge claims that the Nazi's recovered UAP.
⦁ The cover up is not what people think it is - it's global. but America are leading it. (DeLonge)
⦁ It's managed by a "different kind of mechanism" - it's not the government or intelligence agencies per se. (DeLonge)
⦁ The real Cold War was between humanity and the NHI. (DeLonge)
⦁ The US Government has been reverse engineering craft to give them an advantage against NHI while keeping it hidden under cover of the Cold War. (DeLonge)
⦁ Senior DoD/intelligence agency staff such as Admiral Wilson were denied access to UAP projects. (The Wilson Memo, Dr Eric Davis)
⦁ Their is a clandestine organisation possibly goverment contractor involved in the coverup that has commited crimes including assasinating people who knew too much. (DeLonge).
Technological implications:
⦁ The technology for clean energy exists within the study of the UFO phenomena. (DeLonge, Greer {sorry!} )
⦁ America has utilized some aspects of UAP technology and may have hybrid craft. (DeLonge)
⦁ One of the concerns for not disclosing this technology is that it could be used to make weapons by terrorists and humany is not ready for it. (can't remember the source of this - British analysist who did the UAP report for Israeli intelligence)
Geopolitical situation:
⦁ America works (or has worked in the past) with its enemies on the subject - presumably including Russia. (DeLonge)
⦁ Multiple nations are aware of the NHI presence and trying to retrived crashed tech or down UAP in order to gain technological advantage. (either against each other or the NHI). (DeLonge).
There's probably much more, but these are the points that stick in my mind, and the ones I am most interested in knowing about.

He told me that his job is government-related and classified, so he can’t talk about it. Wouldn’t even give me the sense of what industry he works in (tech? engineering? data? medicine?)
But okay, maybe that’s not a huge red flag. We live in a city with a lot of government contractors and military bases. He also told me he goes to the gym for almost 3 hours a day after work every day. Because he has a very laid back job (done at 3pm, no overtime, no weekends).
But other than that, I cannot identify what he does with all that free time. He told me that other than the gym, he has no hobbies. I’ve been trying to ask him what shows he’s watching, what books he’s reading, stuff like that. And he said he’s not reading anything and not watching anything. He also doesn’t travel ever. And he told me that he loves to stay home (which is fine, but what do you do at home??) Does he stare at the ceiling on the weekends 😂
Our conversations are getting a little one sided. Because he’ll text me “how was your day?” And I’ll tell him how my day was and give details. But then when I ask how his day was, he’ll always just respond with some variation “great!” or “very chill!”

After skipping April, here are some inspiration snippets from Berlin, Germany and wider. Career and other cool insights. Here is March.

Week of 1st (May)

🤔 Do you know any shortcuts/tips/tricks on how to get an appointment at Ausländerbehörde? If so, please share in the comments or drop me an email. Thank you so much!
🚃 Lost something on public transport? Here is the website to deal with it. It will be sold at an auction if you do not pick it up in 6 weeks. These are done quarterly, and see you at Auktionshaus Beier in July because I need some AirPods.
🚗 Germany is extremely dependent on the automotive industry and their exports. Don’t quote me on that, but the big ones make roughly 1/3 of their revenues in China. Now, look at these charts and think: What sets modern cars apart? What does it mean for Germany? Soon, the brand will be the only differentiator.
🙌 Pragmatic Engineer (Gergely Orosz) gave me a nice shoutout tweet. A must-follow if you are interested in tech/engineering. One of my recent favourites is this interview with Steve Yegge, which is full of interesting insights.
🤖 If you are like me, you maybe feel worried that your ChatGPT prompt game is weak (especially after reading all those "prompt influencers" milking the trend on the bird app). A while ago, I even linked to a “Prompt Engineer” as a future profession. But according to Ethan Mollick's Guide to Prompting, we do not have much to worry about. In a nutshell: just try things out and then repeat.
📦 eBay-Kleinanzeigen, one of the best German websites (😅) with 40M monthly users, will finally rename to Kleinanzeigen on 16.5 after being sold to Norwegian classifieds specialist Adevinta in 2021. Most of it will stay the same; I am delighted my “Top Zufriedenheit” status will also be migrated.
😔 Bad news: N26 is laying off 71 (4%), Knister Grill (Munich) insolvent; Flink shrank for 8k (down from 21k!) employees since April 2022.
berlin choice of the week: activists vandalized a few luxury shops on K’damm, and of course, the commentariat delivered again on all sides of the spectrum. Also, BVG has a new type of tram that looks like a car. 😅
✈️ This week I learned that BER Terminals 1 and 2 are connected. You can use any security control to access gates at both terminals.
💬 Briefly: SellerX (Berlin) is rumoured to be in a sale process; HelloFresh and Delivery Hero are, unsurprisingly, growing slower: check their Investor Relations pages for details and take it with a pinch of salt; Bosch plans to purchase TSI Semiconductors' assets for $1.5 billion to enhance its semiconductor business with silicon carbide chips; Finn (Munich) CEO Max-Josef Meier resigned after harassing several female colleagues on a company event.

Week of 8th (May)

🚂 If you have decided to take on €49 ticket, Exberliner prepared a nice list of suggestions for excursions from Berlin. Worth a save!
🤑 Here is a summary of research on money and happiness. I like Nick’s conclusion: Increased income is associated with greater happiness for lower-income individuals. For high-income, unhappy individuals, further income is unlikely to increase happiness. For high-income, happy individuals, while more income could enhance happiness, the effort required may not be worth it.
😔 Bad news: CleverShuttle (Berlin) insolvent; Shopify 20% of employees (most of German org).
berlin choice of the week is an interesting Reddit AMA from an U-Bahn driver from a year ago.
💬 Briefly:
Getir wants to own them all and is reportedly buying Flink—enjoy it while it lasts;
Tier reportedly selling itself;
Vice News, a former alter news source loved by millennials and eventually copied by everyone, is in serious trouble;
TeamViewer from Ba-Wü posted 13% YoY growth (151M);

founder of once-hyped Gorillas, Kagan Sümer, is building something new in HealthTech called Mirror (no website yet);
his other three colleagues founded meal-as-a-service for restaurants, Tasty Urban.

Week of 15th (May)

✌️ Here is another reminder to check out my article with 40+ questions you can ask at the job interview. Disclosure: not written by ChatGPT!
👻 Like all the startups beyond Series B, Bolt also plans to become profitable soon, specifically in the next 12 months, and then IPO in 2025. They might also do payments? More at Reuters. Meantime, Lyft, another Uber competitor, is firing 1100 employees.
⚡️ Remember all those predictions on the Russian gas and the collapse of Germany? Here is an interesting article about the concept of substitutes in economics (the fallacy: “When the average person thinks about a 40% reduction in natural gas supplies, they implicitly assume that each natural gas-dependent industry must cut its usage by 40%.”), but it is also worth reading the comments for differing opinions (= free markets are BS.)
👀 Besides your burgers and curries, Lieferando started to deliver 100 different MediaMarkt products inside the Berlin ring (useful if you urgently need a phone charger or a phone, lol? and bad for their competitor Arive). Food & high margin product delivery is probably here to stay, but groceries? I think not.
📚Blinkist, a Berlin-based app that always felt like cheating to me, was bought by Go1 from Down Under; nobody asked me for my opinion, but a good time to exit with all the Generative AI knocking on the door! Now I should probably go back to my book.
🌊 Have you ever heard of Seaflooding? Me neither, but it reads like a great idea. Flooding parts of the Sahara to reduce the ocean levels? Plus, make some energy on the way? Let’s do it!
👟 Adidas is stuck with €1B worth of Yeezy sneakers since the man lost his mind, but, amongst other batshit crazy stuff, found a purpose in antisemitism. They plan to sell them gradually and partially donate the proceeds. (€, 🇩🇪) What a problem to have.
⛴️ Exberliner delivers again! Berlin has plenty of ferries; I see myself using some in the summer. This article also made me think I need a “handpicked Berlin bucket list.”
😔 Bad news: nobody is publishing news about layoffs anymore! There are three options: 1) all layoffs are done; 2) all layoffs are silent; 3) nobody is laying off. I vote for 2). Infarm leaving Berlin & Europe; okäse (Köln) insolvent.
berlin choice of the week is this DDR map of Berlin from 1988; comments deliver as usual.
💬 Briefly:
swedish Northvolt plans to build a battery gigafactory in Schleswig-Holstein (and employ 3k people) with support from the state and Bund - careers;
Revolut’s CFO is leaving, which is never a good sign, especially after problems with acquiring a banking licence in the UK. On a more positive note: they will start to sell ETFs via Berlin’s Upvest;
Trivago, the troubled aggregator of the aggregators, changed almost their complete board;
VW will restructure Cariad, its software arm, replacing its CEO with Peter Bosch (ex-Bentley);
Google did not release Bard in the EU because of GDPregulation worries;
Unstoppable Finance (Berlin-based crypto play) wants to get a banking license in 2024;
Mobileye will do automated assistance and navigate-on-pilot functions for Porsche;
FS Italiane ordered 40 locomotives from Siemens worth €300M;

Week of 22nd (May)

🚴‍♀️ If you have ever wondered how many bikes pass a certain checkpoint in Berlin, you have your answers here. (via this post on berlin)
👀 I found out about Himmel Unter Berlin, an exclusive invite-only exhibition. I did enter the waitlist, but if I could be your +1, please let me know. 🙏
💸 After eight years of rental price caps, landlords (incl. mine) just seem to love ignoring the rules and ask for too much rent! (🇩🇪) Analysis of 6K cases in 2021 shows that 98% were overcharged. Hah.
Bitpanda, an Austrian crypto investing platform, jumped on the AI hype train and will invest $10M in an AI chatbot. Ok.
In Saxony, AfD’s Sebastian Wippel brought the topic of chemtrails to the state parliament. What’s next, Flat Earth?
Sifted reports that Bolt is close to buying Tier. There are still some micro-mobility companies left, but I am still unsure how such a seasonal business can be profitable long-term. Bolt is betting on many horses, and only time will tell if we will still see so many scooters lying around in 2 years. Related:
☝️I previously recommended Matt Levine and his Money Stuff, and this week he wrote about blitzscaling of Uber being possibly illegal. The VC-subsidised “winner takes all” mentality caused partial destruction of competition and could be considered predatory pricing. Worth a read (second chapter)!
😔 Bad news: nothing to report. So instead, data from last week’s poll: 26% (41) of voters know 10+ people laid off since April 1st, and 38% do not know anyone. The rest (36%) are in-between. Hard to draw conclusions, but clearly, silent layoffs are happening.
berlin choice of the week is a flat directory of smaller real estate companies. Good luck if you are on a search now.
💬 Briefly: Tesla will start spending on marketing (inevitable with all the competition); ThyssenKrupp wants to IPO its hydrogen unit Nucera (careers) in June for 4B; Cara Care founder Jesaja Brinkmann ALSO behaved inappropriately towards female colleagues at a party in December and is OUT; Intel also wants to invest in LLM developers Aleph Alpha from Heidelberg; after Mercedes also VWis leaving Russia; DB ordered 73 new ICEs (🇩🇪) for €2B and wants to hire thousands—careers; ATU was hacked (🇩🇪)—I wonder if my car data is LOST or STOLEN.

Week of 29th (May)

📉 Germany is, because of a second negative quarter in a row, officially in a mild recession (GDP fell by 0.3% for the last quarter). Well. On the other hand, some startups (esp. renewables) were hiring extensively last year, as the analysis of Sifted shows. To me, Helsing from the Sifted list sounds promising, but ask them if they have a product already. Careers.
👎 Most of the Google/Amazon/other reviews are useless. First, a lot of them are fake and second; they can be bought, and third, they are skewed because the majority of people never review.Gergely Orosz did an extensive analysis of Glassdoor reviews after layoffs and I think the whole thing proves the point that looking at them is useless and a waste of time.
💩 OpenAI founder Sam Altman said they might pull ChatGPT out of the EU because of the regulation shortly after he also told US regulators that AI should be regulated. I guess only his regulation is the correct regulation?
🛒 Instead of selling itself to Getir, Flink raised €150M from existing investors (they took a haircut to the highest valuation at €2.5B, now at around €1B). In addition, they are letting 100 employees in HQ go and are pulling out of France after their €100M Cajoo investment (🇩🇪, €). On top, Aldi Süd will experiment with delivery around Mülheim (🇩🇪) this July. Are you bullish or bearish?
☝️Big organisations are often arrogant and inefficient. It recently happened again to Microsoft, as reported in this anecdote where Satya Nadella scolded his R&D team. Another good lesson that the size and throwing money at things often doesn’t work.
😅 One of the weirdest political debates I have seen since in Berlin is around the closing of Friedrichstrasse for traffic. Now it will be open again from the 1st of July. But hey, what is the point of just closing a street without planting trees and making it much more pedestrian-friendly? They did it in many other cities, and it worked. Half-assed attempts make no sense.
✈️ Here is a longer profile in German of Ryanair and its success (🇩🇪) after their annual report. They are profitable, are expanding their fleet and want to hire 10k.
🧨 Before joining N26, you might want to read this great analysis from Miriam at Sifted. Bullish or bearish?
🐟 Here you have an Insta post of some of the best lakes around Berlin, which you should pair with this temperature monitoring when the time comes. From my perspective, the time is not here yet.
I tried what3words a couple of times, and I remember thinking, “Wow, what a great idea”, before going back to using Google Maps. This week I learned they burned £119M to generate £2.5M in revenue in the last six years. What a time to be alive. This, kids, is what a vitamin looks like instead of a painkiller.
☄️Great news. There is probably no imminent danger of getting erased by an asteroid: We still have at least 1000 years left on Earth unless we destroy it ourselves first!
😔 Bad news: Circus (Hamburg, 35/25%); Meta 6000 (unknown for Germany); Moss(Berlin, 30), Flink (Berlin, 100).
💡 Speaking of layoffs: I have previously linked to “how to act” guidance, but it was not as good as this LinkedIn post from Mayuri Reddy. Read it and share it.
🇹🇭 I have never been to Thailand or Thai Park yet, and this is changing soon; Exberliner has tips on what to eat in Thai Park. I am going with Pad Thai. See you around!
berlin choice of the week is this discussion about Pfandpiraten and how much they can earn. Fascinating! “They estimated that about 928,000 people actively collect Pfand in Germany. Of them, 56% make less than 4€ a day. Of them, 28% collect enough that it is their primary income.”
💬 Briefly: Solaris Bank is raising fresh money (€50M); Klarna moved its goal to reach profitability this summer to “this year” and is reportedly “on track”; Flix is expanding like there is no tomorrow: India will be its 42nd market; Neeva, a Google search ads-free alternative full of ex-Google execs, is no more; Meta was fined a record €1.2B for illegal data transfers from the EU to the US beating the previous record of €746M by Amazon.

UPDATE BELOW
A little over an hour ago, around 9:00am PST as I woke up and took in the news of the whistleblower coming forward, this sub had over 17,000 active members online. Now it’s double, close to 35,000 subscribers. MODs, is this the highest amount we’ve seen? Is the info dump working? NewsNation is a relatively new platform, hopefully more media outlets start picking this up.
EDIT: Since this post is getting upvoted and nobody else is doing so yet, I'm going to try and make note of everything I can think of that's happened so far today.
This morning, those of us who pay attention to this topic, especially via this sub, awoke to the news that whistleblower David Grush was coming forward with revelations on crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering programs and 2000 Special Access Programs. Grush, "36, a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). He served as the reconnaissance office’s representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. From late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force."
The info above is taken from the new article in The Debrief-- https://twitter.com/debriefmedia/status/1665690400152068096?s=46&t=PEAXzfjeTgZ99do7qMXyuA —in conjunction with journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, who were also central to the Dec. 2017 NYT article that initially blew this whole thing wide open--https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html
At the same time this new article was published, Australian journalist Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel, who have also been at the center of investigating what the US knows about this subject, released a behind-the-scenes hour-long video in advance of Ross's SEVEN HOUR interview with Grush--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQjbFZT9_EM
This comes five days after NASA held a four-hour long briefing on their upcoming studies and almost six months after this fiscal session's NDAA included over thirty pages of Congressional legislation outlining protections for whistleblowers coming forward--https://twitter.com/ddeanjohnson/status/1603741083891994624
Alongside The Debrief article and Coulthart and Zabel's announcement of their interview on NewsNation, NewsNation itself announced it would airing today at 3PM PST--https://twitter.com/NewsNation/status/1665791745118879744?s=20
It also has to be noted that Grush is coming forward after receiving clearance from the DOD regarding his statements.
In these last few hours, engagement by followers of this sub on Reddit seems to have hit a high, at least for the first time since the balloon incidents (and maybe more?) in early February. It was stated by someone that NYT, WaPo, Politico and more passed on the story--it was specifically talked about that WaPo would be publishing a huge story ten days ago on Twitter--until Blumenthal corrected this by saying WaPo wanted more time and he and Keane didn't believe that could wait--https://twitter.com/ralphblu/status/1665809626200264705?s=20
Now in the last couple of hours, New York Mag's Intelligencer, UK's the Daily Mail, Dutch mag New Revue (install Google Translate in your Chrome browser for this one) have chimed in. There's a ton of background on all this, of course, including the (however failed) Congressional pressers and Coulhart and others telling us to expect these whistleblowers to come forward this summer, not to mention everything those of us who take this seriously have studied for years. He's now saying (around 22:00 in this video) that more are coming forward this week. Hitting save on this update at 2:28PM PST. I don't work the next couple of days and my wife's going out of town for the week. Buckle up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQjbFZT9_EM

This is a post about how to generate high ticket appointments for ridiculously cheap costs on Facebook right now…
If you’re in the mood to read 3,300+ words go ahead. There’s no TL;DR. This post is only for serious business owners that want to learn how to run profitable Ads.
I’m currently managing between $500,000 - $550,000 per week in Facebook Ad spend across multiple businesses in over 3 dozen industries…
This works for ALL types of businesses that sell High-Ticket services and products.

But first…
I’ll start this off by pointing out to everybody having Ad account issues. Every single day I pop into this sub to see so many of you struggling with being banned from advertising on Facebook.
If your ad accounts are disabled, if your BMs are disabled - it’s sad.
It’s sad because I wrote a detailed post on EXACTLY how to setup your FB assets so that you NEVER have to encounter this issue - and you still haven’t read it.
I’m currently spending over $500k a week across multiple accounts, multiple clients, and nobody, NOBODY has their accounts banned…
Simply because we follow my asset management structure (laid out here).
First, do yourself a favor and get your accounts in order by reading that post… then come back here for the good stuff so you can actually make some money!
Now for those of you that have no account issues…
Here’s HOW to get High-Ticket Appointments for $25-$30 bucks a call… with prospects that pay $5,000+ in retainers, service fees, consulting - whatever you sell…
That clearly implies that I’m talking about HOW to target people with money…
Not just people with money, but people with a burning desire to buy your products & services…
No matter what type of product or service you’re selling, there are people on Facebook that are “in-the-market” for your help.
I’ve run Ads in almost every niche you can practically think of — from targeting accredited investors for investment funds, to luxury homes, to enterprise software, to high end home remodeling… all the way down to video & photography studios, web dev shops, production houses etc. etc. (just refer to that long list I published above…)
There’s a market for EVERYTHING. And your clients are on Facebook.
The problem is that there is too much garbage being touted by people that have no clue about how the platform works - that leaves you confused and paralyzed as to what to do…
So let me clarify, your clients ARE on Facebook, and you can connect with them for a lot less than you think…
You can generate high quality sales meetings for a lot less than you think…
In fact, you can do it with an extremely simple process that doesn’t require large budgets, doesn’t require highly produced VSLs, or anything time consuming…
And in this post I’m going to show you how. But first understand why most marketing fails.

WHY MOST MARKETING ON FB FAILS…
The biggest disconnect between them (your prospects) and you (your business) lies in not properly understanding 3 things:

Targeting
Assets
Setup

When these 3 things are out of sync, your ads don’t reach the right people, the people reading your ads don’t find them interesting…
And even if you have these two things in order… If your “setup” isn’t accurate you’ll end up seeing extremely high CPMs, very low CTRs and therefore, very expensive clicks…
So either you won’t get any leads signing up to book a call with you…Or you’ll get random junk leads filling up your lead forms.
Here’s what a commonly bad “Lead Gen” campaign looks like:—> Business owner is new to FB Ads—> He selects the Leads objective—> Sets up a Lead form ad—> Runs generic interests in his niche—> Maybe runs between $10-$100 a day in budget—> Gets LOW quality junk leads that don’t pick up—> Gets frustrated and pauses campaigns after a few hundred dollars spent—> Then browses all over Reddit and YouTube looking for answers
As I’ve said before, running Lead Form Ads will NOT get you the leads that will buy from you instantly…
The term “LEAD” means a lot of different things in different situations.
-When someone opts-in for a free lead magnet, that’s a lead-When someone fill out a form of any sort, that’s a lead-When someone goes to the end of a call booking funnel, that’s a lead-When someone watches a 30-min long webinar and fills out an application, that’s a lead…
So just aiming for “Leads” without paying attention to the “Setup” will get you nowhere. You will lose your hard-earned money and get nothing back.
Understand what happens when you select the “Leads Ad” objective using a lead form Ad FB shows it to the lowest rung of prospects that just like to get something for free!
That’s why when you run Lead Form Ads, most of your leads are junk. When you call them they either won’t answer or they’ll put it incorrect information.
The reason Facebook does this, is NOT to intentionally hurt you. But FB classifies this type of objective as extremely “TOF Leads” - Top Of Funnel Leads…
These leads opt-in for free information, or extremely low cost information, and have to be further nurtured using Email sequences to eventually get them on a call..
You’ll need thousands of these leads to start building any momentum… And therefore this setup is FLAWED if you want to get leads that will buy from you instantly.

SO HOW DO YOU GET LEADS THAT WANT TO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS & SERVICES NOW?
In a nutshell, you use the “Conversions” objective and you follow the exact formula that I’m going to teach you in this post.
If you follow everything I say, your results will look something like this:
Daily spend = $50-$100Leads = 6-8 per dayApplications = 5-7 per dayCalls Booked = 3-5 per dayShow ups = 2-3 per day (and even 95-100% show ups if you use my warm up protocol)
With numbers like these, off late I’ve been pulling down at minimum $5,000 for every $700-900 spent on Ads.
This will ONLY work IF you have a good offer. I previously written TONS of posts on how to create a high-converting, In-demand that people happily pay $5k+ for.
Again, if you want results like these, remember we need 3 things ON POINT:

Targeting
Assets
Setup

So let’s go over them in detail - here’s how it’s done:
First things first, let’s start with your assets, because that’s the primary driver of the entire campaign.

ASSETS
Your marketing assets include everything you use to run your campaign. Your funnel, your creative, your copy, your landing page, your landing page copy… ALL of these things are your assets.
How do you know what assets to make? Should you make a webinar? Should you make a lead magnet? Should you produce a VSL? What should your landing page consist of?
It’s ASTONISHING how few people think about the nature of their assets, and fewer actually ponder over WHY they are using the assets they’re using…
The nature and quality of your assets will play a crucial role in how your campaign will perform.
In another post I will dive into what assets work best for various offers and niches… but for the sake of this post, I’ll get straight to the point.
1. THE FUNNEL: Since we’re aiming for High-Ticket Sales right off the bat, the best Funnel asset I recommend is “The Sales Letter” or “The Offer Letter” (that’s what I call them these days)…
A “Offer Letter” is essentially a long-form sales letter (3000-4000 words) that does the job of taking the prospect from being in a “Top of funnel mindset” to “Bottom of funnel mindset”
That means - when the prospect first starts reading the letter, he’s only curious enough about your service…
But by time he’s down to the bottom of the page - his emotions are heightened, he’s very interested, and you potentially have a “hot lead"
At the bottom of the page he first fills up the “Initial opt-in form”… after that he’s taken to a calendar to pick a time & day to speak with you…
After choosing a day & time, he’s then sent to an “Application Form”. The application form is designed in a way to further qualify your prospect on whether he is the right fir for your business…
If he successfully fills out the application form, you now have a qualified appointment booked on your calendar.
The reason why he is qualified is because he first reads about 2000+ words of copy about your offer ONLY then can he even opt-in…
After opting in, he has to fill out an application form that is SPECIFICALLY designed to qualify his motivation level. We are only trying to pull down people with a HIGH motivation level to buy your products.

2. THE NURTURE SEQUENCES: Now just because he applied doesn’t mean that he’s going to remember the meeting. Most people suffer from ridiculously HIGH no-show rates because they don’t understand nurturing.
You HAVE to nurture your prospect.
I’ve seen the LAZIEST business owners run this funnel, and just sit back and expect the prospect to show up.
Why should the prospect show up? They don’t owe you anything. What are you ACTIVELY doing to excite them about the meeting? What are you doing to even remind them about the meeting?
People would come to me with high no-show rates, and when I look at their backend they have absolutely ZERO SMS reminders, ZERO email sequences, ZERO value..

Here’s how to nurture your prospects who applied to talk to you:
a) First understand, the minute the apply to talk to you, the pixel that captures that data also tells FB this person is “in-the-market” for such & such service..
SO what does FB do? FB immediately shows this person MORE ads from people that are advertising the exact same service as you - your competitors!
Your prospect is not only applying to talk to you, you’re not that exclusive! They’re also applying to other ads they see… so you HAVE to nurture them!
You HAVE to go above & beyond in giving them value EVEN after they’ve booked to talk to you..
This is easily accomplished via backend SMS systems and EMAIL systems with tight copywriting.

b) Secondly, your emails leading up to the call should provide more value. Links to case studies, reports, any free lead magnets… just give them value so they FEEL like showing up to the meeting.
- My show-up rates are at 95%- My clients show-up rates are at 95%- Anybody that’ve worked with has high show-up rates…
The only people that have HIGH no-show rates are those that don’t pay attention to backend nurturing.
3. THE WARM UP PROTOCOL: This is the secret sauce. I’ve been doing this since 2019 and literally is the number #1 reason why my cold prospects turn in to 5-figure/per month paid clients.
As soon as they’ve applied, a sales development representative from my team reaches out to them, and warms them up for the forthcoming appointment.
My SDRs give our prospects tremendous value on the phone. They ask them the right questions and they LISTEN to them. Then they give them free advice on the call… and they assure them that this is only the tip of the iceberg - there’s a LOT more to uncover in the forthcoming meetings with our closers…
Once prospects have heard a real human voice from our company, now they’re even more motivated to show up for the call.
Are you doing this? Are you nurturing your leads with value? Are you calling your leads and giving them value? - Ask yourself these questions before asking why they’re not showing up!

4. AD CREATIVES & COPY: This is a hard one to teach… I’m just a naturally good copywriter, I’ve formally studied direct response from the masters… Ive studied the greats from Eugene Schwartz and Roger Reeves, to Gary Halbert & Dan Kennedy, and John Carlton to the modern day masters, of whom several are my mentors…
Copywriting is a hard one to teach in a post that’s why I wrote an entire book on how to write copy to get clients…
But here’s a few tips.
Make your Ad Creative extremely compelling by using high-quality visual imagery, and create an Headline inside the creative that stands out using this font: Montserrat Extra Bold…
Your Headline should be based on a “Big Idea” that can tell an entire story of the benefits your product can deliver in 5-8 words. That’s for the Ad Creative.
Ad Copy: I used to previously write really long form ads… but I’ve seen that shorter form Ad copy does a lot better these days. You need to keep your Ad copy punchy and emotionally compelling. Your copy should target your prospects core desires.
Your copy needs to be exciting, Intriguing AND beneficial for your prospects.
When you’re first starting out, you should make 2 creatives, and you you need to have 1 primary text.
A good book to read to learn the fundamentals of this is: Micro-Script Rules by Bill Schley…
I think this is by far the best book I’ve read on how to write hard hitting copy in a condensed format. And it’s very applicable for writing Facebook Ads copy.

TARGETINGNow let’s talk about targeting. If you’ve got your funnel, creatives and full-copywriting fully built out, and you’re confident that you’re targeting your prospects core desires..
… now you need to make sure that your TARGET audience is actually seeing your ads.
Now, there’s a lot of debate in this industry about what works when it comes to targeting and what doesn’t.
Some people preach that interests are absolutely useless and you should go wide, some people say interests are still alive and gets them good results.
And if you ask this question anywhere - you’re told to just TEST everything!
So I’m going to do my best to explain to you how targeting works, what I do to target for me & my clients, and how you can effectively target your ideal customers.
1) Broad Vs Interests: It is true that interests are going away by the thousands every month… it is also true that broad works very well. Every media buyer has their own strategies and various budgets that they have to work with..
Everything I talk about is dedicated to a reader-base that has at least $50-$100/day to run ads. If you don’t even have $50 a day to spend on Ads NONE of my methods will work for you..
BUT interests do have their place. You see, broad is great for mass market consumer goods.
When you’re selling a Toothpaste, literally every single human being on the planet needs one. In this case why would you need to use interests?
When you’re selling mass market consumer goods, you should go broad.
BUT we’re NOT selling “mass market” remember? This post is about getting High-Ticket clients - by the virtue of that fact everything we do is niched down to our IDEAL customers core desires…
So if you’re selling specialized nano-technology, or luxury homes, or targeting accredited investors, or annuity insurance how could you possibly go broad?
In one example, I helped an enterprise software consultant target decision makers of mid-sized businesses, and I took his business from 0 to $200k/per month…
There’s NO WAY I could’ve done that by going broad…
So you need to understand the context within which you are advertising.
If you’re advertising a specialized service for a specific niche - you will need to use interests in the beginning.
BUT, you’ll need to insert specific keywords that your marketing responds to, in your Ad copy and creative…
The combination of KEYWORDS in your primary text, your Headline, in your description, in your ad copy AND your Interests - will result in targeting high quality people who need your service.
Here’s a fact: They’re removing interests BUT they’re also adding interests… there are a TON of hidden interests I’ve found that never did exist before, and they randomly popped up last month.
(I’ve been running FB Ads since 2010, so you best believe I’ve seen it all - I’ve been running FB ads even before there was this thing called the FB Pixel)
Having said that, I barely ever use interests anymore - and neither do I go broad. Instead I use a very specialized approach.
Here’s how I laser-target my prospects:You need a LOT of tech skill for this. And I'd written another post on this But here’s what I do in a nutshell. I custom build large lists from running very industry specific CRON jobs. I then encrypt the “targeted” database and send them over to my Ad Account audiences using FB’s API. From there FB matches the database to their data sets - and I get a 60-70% high match rate because of how I scrape my lists.
These lists are SO targeted and big enough to create very high quality lookalikes. I create a 1% US lookalike of this custom list.
And then we get into SETTING UP everything.

SETUPThis is the easiest FB Ads setup you’ll ever find on the internet.
You see, we’ve put in all the effort into our Offer Letter, Funnel, Creatives, Ad copy…
And most importantly, our targeting…
FB Ads are the easiest thing to setup. And here’s how you do it.

Create a conversions campaign
Create 1 Ad set
Add the custom audience + 1% Lookalike to your targeting
If you don’t have access to targeted lists, then use Interests specific to your prospects and narrow them down using filters
Incase of interests - keep your audience size NOT more than 3-5M
All genders, 18-65+, Advantage+ placements (auto placements)
2 Ads, 2 Creatives, 1 primary text copy
Make sure domain is selected and domain events are prioritized

Obviously, you need to make sure your conversions API & Pixel are properly setup. I’ve previously written an entire post on how to setup cAPI properly - you can go find that post on my profile.
If you do exactly what I’ve written above, you should EASILY get prospects on a call that will happily pay you $5,000+ (provided you have a good offer)
This is what you stats should look like:Daily spend = $50-$100Leads = 6-8 per dayApplications = 5-7 per dayCalls Booked = 3-5 per dayShow ups = 2-3 per day
Hope this has been helpful…

When medical tests were first conducted, staff discovered chronic Psoriasis and were horrified with his lack of hygiene as shown by the multitudes of food spoiled or otherwise hidden on his person and an ill-fitting uniform that looked to have not been washed since it had been made. It did not help that whilst in the infirmary multiple medical Arts devices failed and stopped working.

Operator Jurgen is somewhat of an oddity among the staff of Rhodes Island. His record in combat and in daily operations of Rhodes Island is nothing less than stellar, remaining stalwart no matter the situation and generally polite. Despite this he is isolated from the majority of staff, with many complaints being submitted on the conduct of operator Jurgen. These mostly pertain to his general uncleanliness and mostly his smell, which has been said to “force you to breathe through your mouth so you taste it”, although some have been lodged due to his viewing of “risque” material in unsuitable locations. An attempt to remove his smell was made, however it returned the next day, as of now a medical exemption has been made so management has an excuse not to proceed in a useless endeavour despite the influx of reports.
Such behaviours indicate that Jurgen, although having a great tactical mind, seems to not fully comprehend social etiquette. His reputation is certainly not helped by his complete lack of an imagination and his literal attitude, with the simplest of jokes being able to be completely undetected by Jurgen unless explained. As a result, aside from Operator Ciaphas Cain and the Doctor, Jurgen interacts very little with his fellow operators, content to be ignored by his colleagues, something that many staff are all too happy to oblige.

Whilst undergoing combat evaluations, operator Jurgen was able to demonstrate and explain his weapons abilities. His Lasgun is capable of fully automatic and semi-automatic fire with a single powerpack capable of 150 shots at standard power. Although not able to penetrate heavy armour at standard power, it is the range of this weapon that is most impressive, able to effectively hit a target at over twice the range of most modern crossbows which Jurgen frequently demonstrated on operations. The effect the Lasgun has on targets in operations are violent to say the least. On standard power it is capable of creating flash burns on the targets flesh vaporising the surface of the affected area, high power only further exacerbates the phenomena, capable of taking a targets limbs off due to flash boiling the water in a target's body and burning through heavy armour, albeit at the cost of extra power drain.
The power of the Lasgun however is incomparable to the Meltagun. The Meltagun is able to, as the name implies, melt enemies into a molten slag, as was demonstrated by Jurgen when he vapourised the torso of a Shieldguard. However this comes with the cost of close range, with Jurgen requiring to be within a few metres to most effectively use the Meltagun.

[Classified Log]
Although reluctant, operator Ciaphas Cain was able to disclose the reasoning as to operator Jurgens unique powers. Cain describes Jurgen as a psychic Blank, able to disrupt and stop any psychic ability within a surrounding area around himself due to what Cain describes as a “lack of a soul”. This has manifested in practice with any operators nearby to not be able to use Arts or Originium Arts devices not working when in close proximity to operator Jurgen. Despite this Cain was quite confused about its current manifestation. According to past experience, most people capable of psychic attacks, whom Cain called psykers, would be in intense agony and be deathly afraid of being in such close proximity to a blank such as Jurgen. Cain recalled a psyker once having a seizure from being touched by Jurgen whilst he was trying to help her into a vehicle. This was after she struggled to get away from Jurgen who was rescuing her and her party from pursuing hostiles and said vehicle being their only reasonable means of escape. Jurgen does not have this effect on operators with high Originium Arts Assimilation when in close proximity. What this indicates about Orginium itself and its Arts is not conclusive.

The Engineering Department was unable to closely examine both Jurgens “M36 Kantrael Lasgun” and “Meltagun” due to Jurgens’ refusal, reasoning that “when we get home the tech priests might get mad”.
Jurgen did however ask if the Engineering Department would be able to develop more ammo for his Melta.
A canister that serves as a “magazine” for the Meltagun contained a combustible gas which was highly pressurised. This gas is apparently “promethium” and that all he had to do to refill the canister was fill it a quarter of the way full with liquid promethium and then press a button on the side of the canister. This promethium which when condensed and analysed in liquid form, was found to be made up of only hydrogen and carbon.
When asked about how promethium was produced, Jurgen stated that raw promethium was generally taken out from the ground and then refined by the “tech priests”. When Cain was asked about the liquid he agreed with Jurgens description of the fuel albeit in a more eloquent way. He did mention however among its many sources, it could be produced through the decomposition of organic material. The exact methods of production however are unknown to the both of them.
In the end refined liquid Originium was substituted in the Melta, with the Melta seemingly having no trouble using the new fuel source. However the engineering department will continue to study the promethium sample provided by Jurgen.
Audio Records:
Jurgen is said to have a phlegmatic voice, so make of that what you will.
Appointed as assistant:
The commissar says I will be your assistant for now. What do you need help with?
Talk 1
Have you seen operator Nian Doctor? I’m trying to find her so she can fill out some forms but I can't seem to find her.
Talk 2
Those people with the glowing wings, how do they sleep? Can they turn it off like a luminator?
Talk 3
I’m looking for a tea called Tanna Doctor, do you know where to find any? I want to keep well stocked for the commissar. Why?, the last time I didn’t have any the commissar fought across half a planet to get some.
Talk after promotion 1
It's calm here, not too much to do most of the time. It's nice, wish we were somewhere colder though.
Talk after promotion 2
You remind me a lot of the commissar Doctor. Always ready to help where you can to protect everyone. If you need something, just let me know. As long as it doesn’t interfere with the commissar, I’ll see what I can do.
Talk after trust increase 1
Why do I follow Ciaphas? When we first met he saved my life, afterwards word got out that the officers were looking for an aide to assign to the commissar. So I volunteered, got selected and we’ve been serving with each other since. I think that was… 30-40 years ago? Hard to keep track of time when travelling from war to war.
Talk after trust increase 2
Don’t I get Lonely?... used to it, I suppose. Never really had friends until I met the commissar, never really liked people much anyway. Rather be told what needed to be done than stand around trying to figure out what someone just said. Was never good at figuring out what people said anyway.
Talk after trust increase 3
Of all the planets we’ve been to, this is one of the nicer ones. Most of the time me and the commissar are running around dealing with problems that nobody else can fix. That hasn’t really changed much now, but compared to the things we normally fight it's a lot easier. Your guys are better than most militia anyway, maybe even some bluefeet guard. Most of you anyway.
Idle
Apologies miss, the Doctor is very busy right now, would like to make an appointment?

(Jurgen was about to shoot his melta when an inquisitor joked if he brought marshmallows. Jurgen thought they were being literal until they told him it was a joke, he then later in another book makes a joke about forgetting to bring marshmallows. It is one of the only jokes jurgen makes on purpose.).

Posted on PYR...so posting here:
Longs ask yourself...What would happen when Pyrogenesis announces that their NexGen 3D POWDERS have now been accredited by a major aerospace conglomerate which could happen very soon
Client A Vale and Client B RIO is slated to finish SAT soon...what would happen if they indicate a major torch order soon thereafter?
DROSITE for Saudis is still in the running and separate DROSITE tolling for high value chemical residue....what would happen if major order or deal is announced?
What would happen when Pyrogenesis and HPQ announces to the world that 3-4N purity Si via Gen 3 QRR reactor is now liquid pour continuous flow 24/7 ...No longer bench test, batch samples etc. etc. but continuous flow of 3-4N purity silicon in one step from cheap quartz? And confirmed this is now scalable..which no one has been able to do in one step in history. AND what major auto manufacturer like VW/Porsche , Tesla is looking for in EV batteries...and this is confirmed?
No way would I want to be on the sidelines when any combination of these verticals can actually could be announced this year
The tech and engineering is seriously legit w MOAT..oh those 110+ patents. Doubling the employee count and manufacturing footprint is definitely not for show!
Long and strong PYROGENESIS and $HPQ !!

Google, Adobe, Microsoft, and other tech companies are trying new ways to label content made by AI.
https://www.vox.com/technology/23746060/ai-generative-fake-images-photoshop-google-microsoft-adobe
On May 22, a fake photo of an explosion at the Pentagon caused chaos online.
Within a matter of minutes of being posted, the realistic-looking image spread on Twitter and other social media networks after being retweeted by some popular accounts. Reporters asked government officials all the way up to the White House press office what was going on.
The photo was quickly determined to be a hoax, likely generated by AI. But in the short amount of time it circulated, the fake image had a real impact and even briefly moved financial markets.
This isn’t an entirely new problem. Online misinformation has existed since the dawn of the internet, and crudely photoshopped images fooled people long before generative AI became mainstream. But recently, tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, Midjourney, and even new AI feature updates to Photoshop have supercharged the issue by making it easier and cheaper to create hyperrealistic fake images, video, and text, at scale. Experts say we can expect to see more fake images like the Pentagon one, especially when they can cause political disruption.
One report by Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, predicted that as much as 90 percent of content on the internet could be created or edited by AI by 2026. Already, spammy news sites seemingly generated entirely by AI are popping up. The anti-misinformation platform NewsGuard started tracking such sites and found nearly three times as many as they did a few weeks prior.
“We already saw what happened in 2016 when we had the first election with a flooding of disinformation,” said Joshua Tucker, a professor and co-director of NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics. “Now we’re going to see the other end of this equation.”
So what, if anything, should the tech companies that are rapidly developing AI be doing to prevent their tools from being used to bombard the internet with hyperrealistic misinformation?
One novel approach — that some experts say could actually work — is to use metadata, watermarks, and other technical systems to distinguish fake from real. Companies like Google, Adobe, and Microsoft are all supporting some form of labeling of AI in their products. Google, for example, said at its recent I/O conference that, in the coming months, it will attach a written disclosure, similar to a copyright notice, underneath AI-generated results on Google Images. OpenAI’s popular image generation technology DALL-E already adds a colorful stripe watermark to the bottom of all images it creates.
“We all have a fundamental right to establish a common objective reality,” said Andy Parsons, senior director of Adobe’s content authenticity initiative group. “And that starts with knowing what something is and, in cases where it makes sense, who made it or where it came from.”
In order to reduce confusion between fake and real images, the content authenticity initiative group developed a tool Adobe is now using called content credentials that tracks when images are edited by AI. The company describes it as a nutrition label: information for digital content that stays with the file wherever it’s published or stored. For example, Photoshop’s latest feature, Generative Fill, uses AI to quickly create new content in an existing image, and content credentials can keep track of those changes.
AI-labeling tools like Adobe’s are still in their early stages, and by no means should they be considered a silver bullet to the problem of misinformation. It’s technically possible to manipulate a watermark or metadata. Plus, not every AI generation system will want to disclose that it’s made that way. And as we’ve learned with the rise of online conspiracy theories in recent years, people will often ignore facts in favor of believing falsehoods that confirm their personal beliefs. But if implemented well — and especially if these labels are seen as more neutral than traditional social media fact-checking — AI disclosures could be one of our only hopes for navigating the increasingly blurry distinction between fake and real media online.
Here is how some of these early AI markup systems could work, what the limitations are, and what users can do to navigate our confusing post-truth internet reality in the meantime.
The devil is in the metadata
When you look at an image on social media or a search engine today, odds are you don’t know where the photo came from — let alone if it was created by AI. But underneath the hood, there’s often a form of metadata, or information associated with the digital image file, that tells you basic details, like when and where the photo was taken. Some tech companies are now starting to add specific metadata about AI to their products at the moment of creation, and they’re making that information more public in an effort to help users determine the authenticity of what they’re looking at.
Google recently said it will start marking up images made by its own new AI systems in the original image files. And when you see an image in Google Search that’s made by Google’s AI systems, it will say something like “AI-generated with Google” underneath the image. Going a step further, the company announced it’s partnering with publishers like Midjourney and stock photography site Shutterstock to let them self-tag their images as AI-generated in Google Search. This way, if you come across a Midjourney image in Google Search, it will say something like “Image self-labeled as AI-generated.”
Google Search public liaison Danny Sullivan said that this kind of AI labeling is part of a broader effort to give people more context about images they’re seeing.
”If we can show you a helpful label, we’re going to want to do that,” said Sullivan, “but we’re also going to want to try to give you background information that we can determine independent of the label.”
That’s why Google is also adding an “About this image” feature next to image search results — whether they are AI labeled or not — that you can click and see when the image was first indexed by Google, where it may have first appeared, and where else it’s been seen online. The idea is, if you searched for, say, “Pentagon explosion” and saw a bunch of images in the results, you would be able to see a fact-checked news article debunking the piece.
“These tools are really designed to help people understand information literacy more and bake it into the search product itself,” said Sullivan.
Other major industry players have also been working on the issue of how to label AI-generated content. In 2021, a group of major companies including Microsoft, Adobe, the BBC, and Intel created a coalition called the C2PA. The group is tasked with helping to create an interoperable open standard for companies to share the provenance, or history of ownership, of a piece of media. C2PA created its first open standard last January, and since then, Adobe and Microsoft have released features using that standard.
For example, if you’re a photographer at a news outlet, you can mark when a specific picture was taken, who took it, and have that be digitally signed by your publisher. Later, your editor could make changes to the photo, signing it again with a seal of authenticity that it’s been verified by the C2PA standard. This way, you know that the photo was taken by a person — not generated by AI— and know who has made edits to it and when. The system uses cryptography to preserve the privacy of sensitive information.
“Now you can read the entire lineage of the history of a piece of digital content,” said Mounir Ibrahim, EVP of public affairs and impact at Truepic, a visual authenticity app that is a member of C2PA. “The purpose of us is to help content consumers ... decipher the difference between synthetic and authentic.”
Knowing the history and provenance of an image could potentially help users verify the legitimacy of anything from a headshot on a dating app to a breaking news photo. But for this to work, companies need to adopt the standard.
Right now, it’s up to companies to adopt the C2PA standard and label verified content as they wish. The organization is also discussing potentially standardizing the look of the C2PA content credential when it shows up on images, Ibrahim said. In the future, the C2PA credential could be similar to the little padlock icon next to the URL in your browser window that signifies your connection is secure. When you see the proposed C2PA icon, you would know that the image you’re seeing has had its origins verified.
So far, two big C2PA members, Adobe and Microsoft, have announced tools that integrate C2PA standards into their products to mark up AI-generated content. Microsoft is labeling all AI-generated content in Bing Image Generator and Microsoft Designer, and Adobe is using C2PA standards in its new AI Firefly product’s content credentials.
“The biggest challenge is we need more platforms to adopt this,” said Ibrahim.
While the C2PA-style metadata labels work behind the scenes, another approach is for AI systems to add visible watermarks, as OpenAI has done with the rainbow bar at the bottom of DALL-E images. The company says it’s also working on a version of watermarking for its text app, ChatGPT. The challenge with watermarks, though, is that they can be removed. A quick Google search turns up forms of people discussing how to circumvent the imprint.
Another imperfect option is technology that can detect AI-generated content after the fact. In January, OpenAI released a tool that lets you cross-check a block of text to determine whether it’s likely written by AI. The problem, though, is that by OpenAI’s own assessment, the tool is not fully reliable. It correctly identified only 26 percent of AI-written texts in OpenAI’s evaluations, although it’s notably more accurate with longer than shorter text.
“We don’t want any of our models to be used for misleading purposes anywhere,” said a spokesperson for OpenAI in a statement. “Our usage policies also require automated systems, including conversational AI and chatbots, to disclose to users that they are interacting with our models.”
At the end of the day, even if these early AI flagging and identification systems are flawed, they’re a first step.
What comes next
It’s still early days for tech platforms trying to automate the identification of AI-generated content. Until they identify a dependable solution, however, fact-checkers are left manually filling in the gaps, debunking images like the Pope in a puffy jacket or fake audio of politicians.
Sam Gregory, executive director of human rights and civic journalism network Witness, who works with fact-checkers largely outside of the US, said that while he thinks technical solutions to AI identification like watermarking are promising, many fact-checkers are worried about the onslaught of misinformation that could come their way with AI in the meantime. Already, many professional fact-checkers are dealing with far more content to check than humanly possible.
“Is an individual going to be blamed because they couldn’t identify an AI-generated image? Or is a fact-checker going to be the one to take the strain because they’re overwhelmed by this volume?” said Gregory. The responsibility to address AI misinformation “needs to lie on the people who are designing these tools, building these models, and distributing them,” he added.
In many cases, Gregory says, it’s unclear exactly what social media platforms’ rules are about allowing AI-generated content.
TikTok has one of the more updated policies around “synthetic media,” or media that is created or manipulated by AI. The policy, which was revised in March 2023, allows synthetic media but requires that, if it shows realistic scenes, the image must be clearly disclosed with a caption, sticker, or otherwise. The company also doesn’t allow synthetic media that contains the likeness of any private figure or anyone under 18. TikTok says it worked with outside partners like the industry nonprofit Partnership on AI for feedback on adhering to a framework for responsible AI practices.
“While we are excited by the creative opportunities that AI opens up for creators, we are also firmly committed to developing guardrails, such as policies, for its safe and transparent use,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement. “Like most of our industry, we continue to work with experts, monitor the progression of this technology, and evolve our approach.”
But many other platforms have policies that might need some updating. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and YouTube both have general rules against manipulated media that misleads users, but those could be clarified regarding what uses are acceptable or not, according to Gregory. Meta’s fact-checking policies state that manipulated media containing misinformation is eligible for fact-checking by its third-party partners, as it did with the fake Pentagon AI explosion claims.
“AI is bigger than any single person, company, or country, and requires cooperation between all relevant stakeholders,” Meta said in a statement. “We are actively monitoring new trends and working to be purposeful and evidence-based in our approach to AI-generated content.”
Technological solutions to help people fact-check content themselves, like AI detection systems and watermarks, couldn’t come sooner.
But NYU’s Tucker says we need to test these solutions to see whether they’re effective in changing people’s minds when they encounter misleading AI content, and what the disclosures need to look to be impactful. For example, if the disclosures that an image or video is AI-generated are too subtle, people could miss it entirely. And sometimes, labels don’t work as expected. For example, Tucker co-authored a study last year showing that high- or low-quality news credibility labels had limited effects on people’s news consumption habits and failed to change people’s perceptions.
Still, there’s hope that if AI disclosures are seen not as politicized fact-checks but as neutral context about the origins of an image, they could be more effective. To know whether these labels are resonating with people and changing their minds will require more research.
There is an urgency to figure out these problems as AI-generated content floods the internet. In the past, tech companies had time to debate the hypothetical risks of AI misinformation because mainstream generative AI products weren’t yet out in the wild. But those threats are now very real.
These new tools that label AI-generated content, while far from perfect, could help mitigate some of that risk. Let’s hope tech companies move forward with the necessary speed to fix problems that come with AI as quickly as they’re being created.

tldr; what is a good prompt to classify given text. None of my attempts give a classification within my categories (even a wrong classification).
I'm aware that this has been asked a few times here, but there is no conclusive answer, and I want to get your feedback on how to proceed with my approach.

First of all, this is purely for academic curiosity, and there is no actual NLP problem here. I have used chatgpt to generate 10 news categories with their descriptions. then I have asked it to generate 2 examples for each category. Finally i asked local LLM to classify some samples. Here is an example prompt I have.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
The news items can be categories like below.
Politics: This category involves coverage of political processes, policies, parties, elections, and politicians both at the domestic and international level. It can also include analysis of political trends and discussions on political theory.
Business: Business news relates to economic events, corporate developments, market trends, and financial analyses. Topics could range from individual company reports to global economic trends, financial markets, investment opportunities, and more.
Technology: This is focused on developments in the tech industry. Topics include product releases, software updates, breakthroughs in tech research, cybersecurity issues, discussions around data privacy, and impacts of technology on society and other industries.
Health: Health news involves developments in the field of health and medicine. It could include updates on medical research, disease outbreaks, healthcare policy, mental health awareness, fitness trends, and other health-related topics.
Environment: This category focuses on environmental issues and developments. This includes climate change news, coverage of natural disasters, reports on renewable energy, conservation efforts, biodiversity, and sustainability initiatives.
Sports: Sports news covers various sports events, players, teams, scores, match results, upcoming events, analyses, and sports politics. It can span from local community sports to global events like the Olympics.
Entertainment: Entertainment news involves coverage of movies, music, TV shows, celebrities, awards, festivals, and the arts. It could also include reviews and critiques of various forms of media, as well as news about the entertainment industry itself. Science: Science news focuses on new discoveries, developments, and breakthroughs in various fields of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and more. It also covers controversial scientific debates and the societal impacts of scientific advancements.
Education: This category covers news related to schools, universities, education policy, educational technology, student and teacher issues, and new trends or methods in education.
Travel: Travel news involves information about different locations, travel advisories, trends in the tourism industry, travel tips, features on culture and lifestyle in different regions, and impacts of events (like a global pandemic) on the travel industry.
Based on these categories, classify below news items:

The upcoming federal election is seeing a shift in voter sentiment as recent polls suggest that the incumbent party might lose majority in the parliament. The opposition party, bolstered by this change, has started aggressive campaigning focusing on issues such as healthcare reform and climate change.

MegaTech Corporation announced a surprising decrease in its quarterly profits, citing supply chain disruptions due to recent global events. The news has resulted in a significant dip in the company's stock prices, and investors are worried about the impact on their portfolios.

A recent report by the World Environmental Agency indicates a significant increase in global carbon emissions, despite various international climate agreements. Experts warn that if this trend continues, the world could face catastrophic climate changes in the future.

Researchers at the Space Institute have detected a new exoplanet which could potentially support life. This discovery has ignited new excitement in the scientific community about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

The beautiful coastal city of Azure Bay has been named the top travel destination for this year by TravelWorld magazine. The city is known for its pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine

### Response:
sure here is the stories you have provided classified below:

OpenAI playground classifies items 3-5 correctly. I have tried quantized 30/33B versions of supercot, guanaco, Wizard-Vicuna uncensored, as well as Samantha 13b. I have also tried different prompts, such as putting examples in a tag in the input section, and just put one news to classify. In the first prompt I included above, all LLMs just continued to create sample news item, and no classification message. When I explicitly give examples first, and then ask to continue after an example news item ending with Classification:, some models just came up with new ridiculous categories even though I re-iterated the categories they should select from. I also played the model parameters (such as temperature etc) to no success.

Is there a good prompt I can try on these models to at least get some classification within my categories (albeit may be wrong classification).
ps: I'm well aware that there are better NLP algorithms, even a dedicated llama classification tool however I want to see if this can be done at the prompt level as OpenAI seems to be doing a good job at it.
ps2: A classification problem like this seems to be a good metric to evaluate models.

TARDIS

The TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions in Space) is a Type 40 time capsule the Doctor nicked many years and regenerations ago. It travels throughout space and time by passing through a space-time vortex and is dimensionally-transcendental (bigger on the inside than the outside).
