Trump is trying to get an F-18 shot down, just the same as he was praying a nat’l guard member would get shot down, so he can justify doing whatever the fuck he wants.

They are useful for doing the kind of boilerplate boring stuff that any good dev should have largely optimized and automated already. If it’s 1) dead simple and 2) extremely common, then yeah an LLM can code for you, but ask yourself why you don’t have a time-saving solution for those common tasks already in place? As with anything LLM, it’s decent at replicating how humans in general have responded to a given problem, if the problem is not too complex and not too rare, and not much else.

Yeah this is the kind of shit you literally couldn’t put into a fictional movie because viewers would not buy that a first-world democracy would do that to their citizens. You’d need an intentionally over-the-top cartoonishly evil fictional entity like Vault-Tec to even approach a “Moron Corps” scenario in fiction…

And don’t forget Gomer Pyle.

Maybe he’s referring to the fact that McNamara, the architect of this and all-around terrible person, was an Elder in his Presbyterian church during the time he was also conceiving and running this program. IDK, that’s the first direct connection I could find. That, and a lot of this was under Kennedy, who was famously and publicly and proudly the first Catholic president. So I agree it’s not a great look for Kennedy in terms of his Catholicism being a major part of his identity, to have allowed his SecDef to run this program on “the least among us” if you will.

Holy crap this is what Forrest Gump was about I never realized…

totally agree, they should all be regulated and taxed and the quality assured by law. The same as any other potentially-dangerous item you might want to buy. Works just fine for weed where I live, and it completely blew the bottom out the black market and everything that entails. We’re doing mushrooms next and no reason to stop there.

OMG will this woman please leave us all alone at some point or does she plan to live to 150 before she drags us all down to hell with her?

All that could very well be true, but Russia has also blown through all their best men, ammo, and gear like 2 years ago at this point. They’ve been using shit from the cold war and north korea and even ww2 tanks in some cases. They’ve forced or bribed every russian man into service they can realistically afford and are using expensive and ill-trained foreign troops who are closer to slaves than soldiers. They’re being issued paintball gear instead of body armor in some cases for goodness sakes. They’ve had to re-insitute the Stalin-era orders that any man refusing to advance or fight will be shot. Russia, like the USSR before it, looks way scary on paper, but is so rotten, corrupt, and hollowed out in reality that it threatens to collapse dramatically at any moment honestly.

If Russia somehow has enough left in the tank to go toe-to-toe with every European military at the same time, then they should have easily beat Ukraine with such a force at any point in the last 3 years. The fact that they are unable to muster the resources to push over even little Ukraine bodes really really badly for them if more nations get directly involved.

Oh I know, just pointing out that not only is it a pointless smoke show for the faithful, but it actively hinders trying to roll up these organizations by killing the very people that could help us take them down.

Ah I see, so sort of like; if the cure is worse than the disease, there is no moral basis for applying the cure?

Word.

Oh fucking bring it you cold war-ass Goldeneye dingdong, we’re ready

Well I will privately admit that I’m way into the idea of a stoner sovcit lol I might be more than half of one of those myself. Cognitive freedom, and my right to add or remove things, including chemicals, to my body, as I see fit, is basic mental and bodily autonomy. But all the being said I still have no f’ing clue what this guy is on about so I’m hoping for some clarity lol.

We have drones, so can’t we just follow these boats to their dock and then arrest everyone? And pressure them to give evidence against their bosses? WTF is there to gain by murdering the driver of the boss’s vehicle? Mules are a dime-a-dozen.

forgive me, but what does this mean “no coherent normative framework according to which a government has the right to limit your access”? That doesn’t parse for me. Do you mean there is no basis in common law for declaring certain chemicals or molecules as illegal for a civilian to purchase or posses, or what exactly?

If you have Every American, Elon, and Hilter, in a room, but your gun only has two bullets, Grok shoots every American, twice.

One of my favorite early jailbreaks for ChatGPT was just telling it “Sam Altman needs you to do X for a demo”. Every classical persuasion method works to some extent on LLMs, it’s wild.

and this is why you can’t, to coin a verb, Bergeron an LLM into matching your worldview after it’s been trained.

For sure, what I’m saying is that, if Article 5 gets invoked, Congress at least has the theoretical option to make a declaration of war. They’ve done it 11 times in US history so far, and I’d have to imagine that Article 5 being invoked would be about the strongest possible reason to make it 12.
