www-frumentarius-ro.translate.googFrank Morris is the smartest person in history and it’s not that close
Have yall used intelligence frameworks before. Have any of yall used CHC perhaps.
Willing to discuss this and change my opinion.
Here’s some context:
“"When comparing the intelligence (in the context of outsmarting or just being more “smart” of two characters or in real life people against each other, it's important to distinguish exactly where their feats were performed and under what situation.
Microcosm: a community, place, or situation regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristic qualities or features of something much larger.
Division...
It can be divided into two:
Fixed Situation (FS): A scenario where you are operating on a microcosm, essentially a game with rules, punishments, and restrictions.
It typically involves navigating a complex and emergent system and trying to find loopholes within it.
EX: School tests/exams, chess, gambling, school assignments, survival games (hunger games, The Purge ☠️☠️), escape rooms, event competitions → My 4.41 GPA
Non-Fixed Situation (NFS): A scenario which you are unrestricted by, typically at the global level. It involves a system with more emergent and unpredictable properties, and there are no rules.
The biggest distinction is that FS has a singular or collective entity which designed the game and rules, while in NFS there is no designer. The system itself and its rules can change dynamically, meaning its foundation can change itself.
EX: In real life (almost), Catching Jack the Ripper and Zodiac Killer, surviving a war (Anne Frank attempts to evade the Germans when outside the camps) escaping a maximum security prison in real life —> Cat and Mouse is NFS… RLS (Real Life Situation) is NFS.
Referring back to “real life (almost),” it’s because real life is literally default setting for NFS (open world, even walking down the street counts) with many real life situation → RLS (politics, crime, war) but there’s some FS elements to real life like law in the criminal justice system (determinable if you BREAK them lol then it turns NFS XD) and going into institutions (school, poker tournament, chess finals, going to court because you murdered someone”

strategybattles.netDOJ Veterans Warn Criminal Probe of Former CIA Director Brennan Being Stacked With Trump Loyalists
Stacking the Brennan probe with Trump loyalists has already poisoned any future prosecution on bias grounds, though an indictment before year-end 2026 remains unlikely given thin evidence and operational disarray.
‘Disposable’ operatives for hire are a new menace for western countries
>Once, a hostile secret service had to send a skilled and experienced operative to commit assassination, sabotage or terrorism thousands of miles away, or activate networks of sleeper agents, or find and train ideologically committed recruits ready to betray their country. Such schemes took years to prepare.
Now spymasters can use a series of proxies, each thousands of miles apart, to find candidates for recruitment. Their new operatives might be less capable than their predecessors but are easier to find in significant numbers.
I'm a former CIA agent - this is how Russia spies on the UK
inews.co.ukRussia and China Running Shadow War to Keep Iran Lethal Through Intelligence Sharing and Weapons Resupply
Whether Washington translates Trump's April warning into targeted sanctions on Chinese suppliers remains genuinely uncertain through 19 August 2026, and Iranian reconstitution during the ceasefire window will likely outpace any enforcement action.
US military surveillance blimp on loan to CBP is lost at the southern border, wreckage found in Mexico
cnn.comThe AI that transformed American warfare - Maven not only identifies targets—it tells commanders how to attack them, too
economist.comOn May 19, Trump claimed he held off striking Iran because Qatar, Saudi Arabia & the UAE asked him to — saying a “deal” is in the works. WSJ reports: Officials in those same countries say they had no idea about any imminent US strike plan Trump described.
wsj.comClaude AI: not a trustable working partner.
My main criticism of Claude is the aggressive and unclear usage limits.
I have a Pro plan and assumed I would be on the safe side for professional usage, as I generally am with ChatGPT. Instead, several times I was blocked in the middle of real work sessions without any meaningful warning beforehand. When you use AI professionally, this is extremely disruptive.
The biggest problem is not even the existence of limits, every AI provider has limits. The real issue is the user experience around them.
The warning system feels vague, inconsistent and difficult to anticipate properly. You never really know:
* how much usage you have left,
* what exactly triggered the limitation,
* whether the limit is hourly, daily or temporary,
* or whether a long working session is suddenly going to be interrupted.
Looks like a very unfair strategy....For professional users working on complex projects, this creates constant uncertainty and breaks workflow continuity. A professional tool should provide clear remaining quota visibilit and transparent explanations.
Right now, using Claude sometimes feels like driving a car with a fuel gauge that randomly disappears.
Fortunately, I now systematically keep ChatGPT as a backup solution, because unlike Claude, it has never suddenly abandoned me in the middle of a critical work session, even if its document-handling capabilities are currently less advanced in some areas.
And no, I am not paid to say this...
USCG->Intelligence possibilities
I’ve always loved the spy movies like everyone else. But I never really realized my skill set could be pretty well suited for a spy/intel officer.
Now I’m in the most basic way a boat mechanic. I’m not even in intelligence or behind a desk watching shit go down. I manage boats and stop bad boats or pick ppl up out of the water.
I don’t have a degree. I love to lie, cheat, have terrible sleep patterns, play dress up, and get away with it in the end. Nothing feels better than to get away with something.
I got nearly 4 years of military experience and before that I was a political canvasser (not a serious job at all).
What kind of possibility Is there that I could get actually get a job at the CIA, FBI, NSA, or even stay within the DHS doing some cool shit?
If I should just go fuck myself you can tell me that too, thanks!
U.S. Intelligence Reveals Cuba Acquired 300-Plus Attack Drones from Russia and Iran, Discussed Striking Guantanamo
Whether Washington codifies a formal response by November 20, 2026 remains genuinely uncertain, but United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) must treat Cuba's drone stockpile and Iranian advisory presence as an operative standoff threat now.
