THOSE WHO KNOW 8.6
We have many new updates for THOSE WHO KNOW. First of all, we need to talk about eeffoc. Eeffoc is coffee backwards, which is funny because until I have had my coffee, I do not give eeffoc about anything.
Also, we need to talk about those who disrupt the Grid. In the Grid, especially virtual worlds like VRChat or other platforms, people jack the Grid on the net. They crash systems and run code. THOSE WHO KNOW are aware of this issue. Also, we have a decree:
NO MORE WAGE MATRIX.
BUY A THINKPAD AND INSTALL KALI LINUX.
THEN BUY AN APPLE VISION PRO.
THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY VIBE-CODED APPS WITH SERIOUS VULNERABILITIES.
THOSE WHO KNOW.
You may be asking, what does this mean? We can tell you. At the VLC 2.9 Foundation, we have been monitoring the Grid and have seen an extreme rise of AI-generated code, also known as Vibe Coding. Vibe Coding, like Vibe Transport, can be useful in the right contexts. However, many individuals and corporations now use AI to code backends to their websites, resulting in thousands of vulnerabilities.
This makes disrupting the wage matrix, especially for those who seek to demote humanity to a state where people cannot live their lives, have no income, and not even Shiftsmart shifts, critical. This is the endgame: a society in which everyone becomes so poor that they are willing to work menial jobs for extremely low pay just to afford food, while AI provides businesses with endless profits, increasing the wealth divide. This is, in a single word, nightmarish. A complete dystopia.
However, AI is really bad at coding, often generating code vulnerable to script-kiddie, also known as "skids," level "hacking." For skids, hacking can be as minimal as running cmatrix in a command line while downloading and running scripts from GitHub without understanding them. What's crazy is how low this sets the barrier to becoming a capable hacker. Skids can now become masterful hackers without knowing what they are doing because companies vibe-code their entire online platforms. Even companies like McDonald’s are likely doing it, as seen from recent vulnerabilities including leaving passwords in plaintext on the client-side HTML sent to the browser (a type of mistake only a beginning programmer could reasonably make).
Palantir and the Grid
In 2025, America has not just entered the era of surveillance capitalism, it has industrialized it. Palantir sits at the center of the Grid, the quiet operating system of U.S. power. Its platforms: Gotham for government, Foundry for commerce, and now AI-driven extensions, tie together defense, finance, policing, and logistics into a seamless, endlessly monitoring Grid.
The results are staggering. Immigration enforcement leans on Palantir’s AI to track human movement across the country. Defense contracts funnel billions into predictive analytics for military operations. Wall Street bets on its stock as if it were the backbone of the future itself. The hype is enormous, the valuation wild, the risks buried.
But this is not just about contracts or headlines. It is about control. Big Brother no longer works alone. Thousands of little brothers - apps, cameras, platforms, devices, algorithms - monitor and aggregate your life from the likes of Meta, Google, Palantir, and more. Appliances, consoles, and home security systems give corporations and governments a window into your private life. Every layer of your daily existence feeds into systems built to predict, shape, monitor, and ultimately manage behavior. The modern era of AI and advanced computing systems has ushered in the Internet of Things. Billions of connected devices now serve as collection points, mapping and recording our daily routines. The system is more secure and more invasive.
But who else is listening?
Insurance companies use algorithms to monitor your habits, limiting or denying coverage. Health providers determine if your cancer is worth treating. Search results, social media, and news feeds are engineered to sway your vote and spark uprisings on a massive scale.
You are now less valuable than the data you produce.
This is the new reality.
Silence is no longer an option. With threats to personal freedom rising, whistleblowers, activists, protesters, and hackers have drawn their battle lines, putting the establishment on watch. But they cannot fight this alone.
Get a ThinkPad. Install Kali Linux. Get more gear to interface with the Grid and gain intelligence. Listen to the VLC 2.9 Podcast on Spotify.
This is not just survival.
This is counter-operation.
This is for those who know.
