I’m betting they asked Claude or Grok or whatever Palantir is using and didn’t bother doing any additional auditing whatsoever because “AI is amazing” 😬

Betteridge’s Law strikes again

For an autonomous platform with some sort of safety mechanisms for jettisoning the air bag if a catastrophic failure occurs, hydrogen does in fact sound like a way better and less scarce lifting gas.

Russia just gave them some brand new Su-35s, and Iran has furthermore been a crucial strategic supplier to Russia in the Ukraine war (which, by the way, is where Ukraine’s support for taking out Iranian leadership comes from - you can’t expect sympathy from the country that’s you’ve systematically been helping Russia fuck over). Iran was basically the most crucial “pariah state” ally that Russia had, and they’ve been effectively swept of the board as a strategic threat and military industrial power.

I mean, Iran was.

This is probably the only hilarious thing I’ve seen in the context of the Iran War

Tbh it’s a rather object lesson in target discrimination.

If Iran had been strict in their targeting, and had specifically only hit US assets and their host countries (and also, you know, specifically attempted to avoid civilian targets), other countries very likely would have stayed out. But they had to max their own dogma and “strike at all the western devils” - even the ones that were openly objecting to the US. Nobody should be surprised when Iran hits a French or UK or whatever airbase, that the country operating the airbase does not take it kindly, and shifts from nominally neutral to actively hostile.

Monday is going to be interesting in the context of the federal legislature. It’s kind of a make or break moment. I am fairly sure that part of the reason for the timing of this shit was so that they’d have maximum time over the weekend to fuck around without Congress interfering. I’m honestly mildly surprised the orange regime didn’t wait for a recess.

The last time I had plugs that weren’t working was on a JAL 787. Don’t get me wrong - US airlines are not very good, but most airlines also aren’t very good.

The negotiations stalled because Israel wanted them stalled and the orangeboi regime played ball.

Operation Epic Epstein Fury

Honestly though… if I saw him on a commercial flight, I would very sarcastically thank him for losing the republic, and would finish with “nothing will fundamentally change”.

Have you tried using them though…? Half of the time they’re broken/unpowered for some reason or the internal retention springs are so utterly fucked that it doesn’t maintain consistent contact with the plug and your charger just falls out.

In my experience, the USB plugs are even more uncommon, and USB-C ones doubly so - and they’re always low power ones, so you’re fucked if you’re trying to drive a laptop off of that.

That’s a silly malware vector though, because everyone still stuck on windows prefers W10 to W11

I mean, I thought that was super fucked up and almost certainly illegal too, and I am by no means trying to excuse or justify it when I say the following: there is a significant difference of degree between a targeted strike that kills the target and the target’s girlfriend, and bombing a school and killing 51 children (which is the last count I saw).

Both are bad. One is a lot worse than the other.

It’s probably just coincidental… but the timing of this considering the fact that the regime launched a shitload of strikes into Iran makes me a tad suspicious.

Which is a roundabout way of saying that if the regime eventually states that “we didn’t pull the trigger on Iran, ChatGPT did”, I would be very unsurprised. Dodging accountability is one of their primary goals, after all.

Wait, were you expecting Altman to stick to his ethical boundaries? How can one stick to a thing that doesn’t exist?

Declaring a state of emergency because you created an emergency by attacking someone. That’s… uh… wow. Yep. 😐
