xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC | Memo #1 - Potential SpaceX Interlocking Directors’ Intent to Manipulate Markets
by Gunnar Larson 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

May 1, 2022 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Investor Relations Board of Directors, JPMorgan Chase & Co. 277 Park Avenue New York, NY 10172-0003 JPMCinvestorrelations(a)jpmchase.com Re: JPMorgan Chase Board of Directors ESG Marketplace Manipulation Dear Board of Directors: xNY.io - Bank.org recently contacted JPMorgan Chase’s board of directors to communicate our concern(s) that potentially JPMorgan Chase may be engaging in exploitation of more than $100B of ESG asset liabilities, across international regulatory arbitrage structures, while headquartered in Manhattan. Specifically, the duty to promote the success of the company is that a director must act in the way that she considers, in good faith, and would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole. - Failure by a board to adequately consider ESG-related risks, particularly entity-specific compliance risks such as breach of securities laws, could serve as the basis for liability of individual directors or officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. Given JPMorgan’s five cout felonies, xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned with your board of director governance in preventing ESG fraud. xNY.io - Bank.org’s assessment of JPMorgan’s board embraces fundamentals including liquidity risk and protecting New York ESG cross border innovation from marketplace manipulation. - According to JPMorgan’s August 2021 Sovereigns and ESG whitepaper, the bank states that governance carries the largest weight of the three ESG pillars across scores, as it is the most empirically relevant for asset prices. - JPMorgan notes that philosophically, the bank views good governance as a foundational pillar for positive ESG developments in other pillars. Today’s memo follows protocol suggested by the United States of America, in that JPMorgan Chase’s board of directors is responsible to xNY.io - Bank.org’s enterprise and the Department of the Interior, in connection with any action alleging a violation of the Endangered Species Act, by any person (“person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, trust, association, or any other private entity) claiming the benefit of any exemption or permit under the Act, who shall have the burden of proving that the exemption or permit is applicable, or has been granted, and was valid and in force at the time of alleged violation. xNY.io - Bank.org has made 91 highlights to the Department of Interior’s Endangered Species Act for JPMorgan Chase’s board of directors reference. 1. xNY.io - Bank.org has reason to believe in the JPMorgan Chase board of directors’ engagement of ESG marketplace manipulation, risking your ESG portfolio’s future at the cost of New York digital asset innovation. 2. xNY.io - Bank.org references your 2021 Environmental Social and Governance Report, totaling $117B of ESG “development funding” transferred from New York to Caribbean and Eastern European accounts. 3. xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned of JPMorgan Chase board directors leveraged marketplace manipulation techniques in allocating ESG funds to engage in potential harassment (the term "harassment" means any act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance) of some of the world’s most precious endangered species protected by domestic and international governance. 4. JPMorgan Chase’s $2.3B ESG “wind farm” facility is characterized by the Washington Post as a potential misuse of ESG assets (and board policies) to fund probable violation(s) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Looking internationally, xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned of further ESG marketplace manipulation structures, sacrificing endangered species, via JPMorgan Chase’s board directed ESG investments in the Caribbean (your largest ESG investment region). xNY.io - Bank.org signals that JPMorgan’s board of directors is party to the Convention on Nature Protection and Wild Life Preservation in the Western Hemisphere. Being clear, any violation of the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act and/or the Convention on Nature Protection and Wild Life Preservation in the Western Hemisphere … Requires xNY.io - Bank.org to consult JPMorgan Chase board members on ESG allocations that may be in conflict with construction, or other development projects, or other forms of economic activity. xNY.io - Bank.org asks JPMorgan Chase board directors to return the Secretary of Department of the Interior’s approval, confirming licensing and/or exclusion to the Endangered Species Act, with further authorization of “harassment” pursuant to exemption(s). Including (if available) a similar Environmental Protection Agency permit that is applicable and is valid and in force. - Due to the riskiness of ESG portfolio mismanagement in violation of the Endangered Species Act, ESG marketplace manipulation risk(s) may trigger causal shocks to New York State monetary and regulatory innovation. - According to JPMorgan’s sovereign fund ESG research, “A common complaint about ESG analysis is that data can be difficult to source. Some sovereign data is in fact more readily available than corporate data given the multitude of multinational organizations and NGOs – including the World Bank, the IMF and the United Nations.” - The European Central Bank provides support to the eurozone sovereign debt market but has more restrictions on what and how much it can buy, so eurozone bonds can trade with more credit risk premium compared to other major developed market bonds. - Whatever the case may be, JPMorgan disclosures detail significant concern of lapse in board governance and ESG portfolio risk with potential violation of the Endangered Species Act, risking ESG portfolio default(s) in Europe and the United States risking ESG customer financial abuse. Forbes recently profiles JPMorgan Chase ESG investments as problematic, highlighting that your board of directors potentially are allocating ESG proceeds in competition with human rights at the expense of customers’ best interests while investing heavily in fossil fuels. A letter to JPMorgan Chase’s board of directors from ESG scholars (including, The Sierra Club, Public Citizen, Greenpeace, Amazon Watch, Revolving Door Project, Rainforest Action Network and the Center for International Environmental Law) suggests the bank would “...lock us into energy sources that are overly expensive and subject to wild price swings, and that exacerbate rather than ease global conflict.” xNY.io - Bank.org aims to protect ESG digital asset innovation and JPMorgan’s board should understand your proprietary ESG scoring matrix should signal seismic marketplace manipulation risk if directors are in potential violation of any Endangered Species Act covenant. - Head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) distribution at JP Morgan Asset Management says, “In Europe, we do not have a semi-transparent product – like the US and Australia – which would add further complexity to the trading. For example, the US has several models which make it harder for the AP to guess what the actual fund looks like and therefore the costs might be higher accordingly.” - Given, JPMorgan may potentially be in breach of United States Endangered Species Act provisions, similar risk of ESG asset failure(s) may include Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australia international law, as ratified by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. While directors and officers are likely to be particularly focused on the risk that they may be found personally liable for a breach of their duties, proper ESG compliance with fiduciary obligations requires acting to a higher standard. Given the defenses available to fiduciaries, and the difficulty in bringing claims for breach of fiduciary duty, a director or officer found to be liable for such ESG breaches will generally have acted egregiously. This ‘sliding scale’ of the standards to which directors and officers should adhere. Following the Endangered Species Act, xNY.io - Bank.org kindly petitions JPMorgan’s board of directors, in connection with all ESG investments, claiming the benefit of any exemption or permit under the United States Department of the Interior’s Endangered Species Act … Shall have the burden of proving that an exemption or permit is applicable, or has been granted, and is valid and in force. - At JPMorgan’s earliest convenience (within 60 days of receipt of this memo) xNY.io - Bank.org kindly requests a certified copy of JPMorgan Chase’s approval by the Department of the Interior, being a license and/or exclusion to the Endangered Species Act and/or the Marine Mammal Protection Act. - JPMorgan Chase suggests a commitment to anti-corruption compliance is central to the success of its business. Your board of directors stand to maintain that trust by promoting a corporate culture that encourages ethical business practices and compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the laws of the countries in which the JPMorgan conducts business. xNY.io - Bank.org’s research guidance from the United States Securities and Exchange Commision, supports the international community in taking actions to address ESG issues on a global basis, and those actions that can have a material impact on companies. Future correspondence concerning ESG innovation is at your board’s leisure.

history of joogle jewnazis
by punk 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

this should get the list's jewnazis especially hysterical - and by the list's jewnazis I mean, grancrap, karl and the cop at jewhoo.au. https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-resea… jakobo samuel brin and samuel jakobo page, computer-science boy wonders In 1995, one of the first and most promising MDDS grants went to a computer-science research team at Stanford University with a decade-long history of working with NSF and DARPA grants. The primary objective of this grant was “query optimization of very complex queries that are described using the ‘query flocks’ approach.” A second grant—the DARPA-NSF grant most closely associated with Google’s origin—was part of a coordinated effort to build a massive digital library using the internet as its backbone. Both grants funded research by two graduate students who were making rapid advances in web-page ranking, as well as tracking (and making sense of) user queries: future Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The research by the two non human jewturds under these grants became the heart of joogle: shocking!

[ot] CogVideo: Descriptive-Text-to-Video ... for Chinese
by Karl Semich 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

Of course what is of note is that they trained a public model to convert text into video, not that it is for Chinese. It can likely be finetuned relatively easily to process tokenized English, in the same way as any other model that uses the same framework. https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo # CogVideo This is the official repo for the paper: [CogVideo: Large-scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers](http://arxiv.org/abs/2205.15868). **News!** The [demo](https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/) for CogVideo is available! **News!** The code and model for text-to-video generation is now available! Currently we only supports *simplified Chinese input*. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48993524/170857367-2033c514-3c9f-… * **Read** our paper [CogVideo: Large-scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.15868) on ArXiv for a formal introduction. * **Try** our demo at [https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/](https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/) * **Run** our pretrained models for text-to-video generation. Please use A100 GPU. * **Cite** our paper if you find our work helpful ``` @article{hong2022cogvideo, title={CogVideo: Large-scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers}, author={Hong, Wenyi and Ding, Ming and Zheng, Wendi and Liu, Xinghan and Tang, Jie}, journal={arXiv preprint arXiv:2205.15868}, year={2022} } ``` ## Web Demo The demo for CogVideo is at [https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/](https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/), where you can get hands-on practice on text-to-video generation. *The original input is in Chinese.* ## Generated Samples **Video samples generated by CogVideo**. The actual text inputs are in Chinese. Each sample is a 4-second clip of 32 frames, and here we sample 9 frames uniformly for display purposes. ![Intro images](assets/intro-image.png) ![More samples](assets/appendix-moresamples.png) **CogVideo is able to generate relatively high-frame-rate videos.** A 4-second clip of 32 frames is shown below. ![High-frame-rate sample](assets/appendix-sample-highframerate.png) ## Getting Started ### Setup * Hardware: Linux servers with Nvidia A100s are recommended, but it is also okay to run the pretrained models with smaller `--max-inference-batch-size` and `--batch-size` or training smaller models on less powerful GPUs. * Environment: install dependencies via `pip install -r requirements.txt`. * LocalAttention: Make sure you have CUDA installed and compile the local attention kernel. ```shell git clone https://github.com/Sleepychord/Image-Local-Attention cd Image-Local-Attention && python setup.py install ``` ### Download Our code will automatically download or detect the models into the path defined by environment variable `SAT_HOME`. You can also manually download [CogVideo-Stage1](https://lfs.aminer.cn/misc/cogvideo/cogvideo-stage1.zip) and [CogVideo-Stage2](https://lfs.aminer.cn/misc/cogvideo/cogvideo-stage2.zip) and place them under SAT_HOME (with folders named `cogvideo-stage1` and `cogvideo-stage2`) ### Text-to-Video Generation ``` ./script/inference_cogvideo_pipeline.sh ``` Arguments useful in inference are mainly: * `--input-source [path or "interactive"]`. The path of the input file with one query per line. A CLI would be launched when using "interactive". * `--output-path [path]`. The folder containing the results. * `--batch-size [int]`. The number of samples will be generated per query. * `--max-inference-batch-size [int]`. Maximum batch size per forward. Reduce it if OOM. * `--stage1-max-inference-batch-size [int]` Maximum batch size per forward in Stage 1. Reduce it if OOM. * `--both-stages`. Run both stage1 and stage2 sequentially. * `--use-guidance-stage1` Use classifier-free guidance in stage1, which is strongly suggested to get better results. You'd better specify an environment variable `SAT_HOME` to specify the path to store the downloaded model. *Currently only Chinese input is supported.*

Ancap lies about being peaceful
by professor rat 17 Jul '22

17 Jul '22

Two recent examples 1) Ross Ulbricht tried to hire Hitmen to kill people who upset him and his business all the while posing, preening and posturing online as a ' peaceful agorist ' The Hitmen he hired were also authorized to kill innocent civilian witnesses - flatmates, etc 2) Associate of Jeff Berwick - another alleged peace-loving agorist - was just accused of murdering an anarchist who upset Berwick and his business dealings. How many more ' peace-loving Agorists ' out there are going to turn Charlie Manson? Maybe we should waterboard Gramps about this.
