They really made a sci-fi themed webdesign for this. Can't say that i don't like it.

  Sounds like incredible progress if a middle schooler can do what took a team of professionals (or one focused adult nerd) less than two decades ago

    You'd hope so, but no, the website is ugly and immediately reeks of LLM boilerplate. I miss the days when 18F made bespoke sites from scratch.

    A bunch of middle/high schoolers could probably build something that looks like a bridge. I don't know if I'd want to drive on it.

      Do I actually have to tell you that a metaphor comparing between a govt website about aliens and physical infrastructure doesn’t hold?
- lagrange77 5mo ago
  Yes, i don't know why, but i can literally smell that its generated, but it doesn't matter. Is there actually a term for every discussion about something code related turning into a debate about LLMs, just increasing the signal to noise ratio on the topic at hand? I'll throw 'second order AI slop' into the ring.

  I was under the impression that the DoD was not a big fan of Claude.. Codex perhaps?

      Yes, surprising in a "I can't believe this is happening" way, not in a "this was unexpected" way. He made his campaign on ending everything. Diving headfirst into the first conflict he could with 0 understanding is the most expected thing that could've happened.

        Americans consistently vote for less war and they consistently get more war. If they voted for more war I’m pretty sure they would still get more war. I think blaming the American public for these wars is a deflection from the actual mechanisms that instigate them. We are more governed by blackmail than we are by voters. I do wish there was even more resistance though, war has been effectively pitched as costless or even as a boon. Perhaps if this war bites there will be more resistance to future wars. At the very least the Iran war being such a disaster may have saved us from a more costly war with China - which the US was and in some ways still is gearing up for.

        > I think blaming the American public for these wars is a deflection Where did I do that? There's no one to vote for that doesn't wage war. But to say voting for Trump was voting for less war is plain ridiculous. You'd have to ignore his entire career. He is famously fickle, is not shy about lying, and abandons friends at the soonest opportunity. A rational person hearing him say "I will end the Ukraine war on day 1" would understand he's saying whatever he thinks sounds good.

The in-house web design team (if there is one) must've had the time of their lives.
