I find little of interest in that. The US enforces private property in a far more aggressive manner than most other countries, and the definition of public property, and functional amount thereof, are also very different. Merely laying down

Long live the king... But it already has. See: All four frontier models having active contracts with the Pentagon. And then, look into who is buying in their own bias. And then, keep looking. It's institutional capture all the way down

We also happen to have an extremely serious homelessness problem, which is not relegated to CA. Go to any warm state in the country and ride through the parking lots at night. If you are the observant type, you should see an astonishing n

And yet they have extant facilities that some suspect could retool within one year to produce a billion drones annually. Considering the effects of drone warfare, eg Ukraine, I'd say any conflict involving China will involve hellscapes

You will need a special job at the Pentagon to know. Remember, there are two AIs; the public toys, and the real, classified versions. Many sneeze at this, but pay attention and you'll see the trend. AI is a force multiplier. Think of i

Thanks. You must be one of the friendlier fellows around here. Any opinion on Jo Zayner and similar xmen? I wonder what the result of getting all such geniuses in one room, with the Pentagon version of AI would be. The future is spicy. No d

Be prepared to abandon fixation upon Flock, and all the sources that will be replacing it, eg Axon. It's not just Flock that needs reining in, but the principle of excess surveillance itself and mass encroachment on human dignity. Euro

Regarding flagging, I have seen, over the last 12 hours, each of my comments in a tug of war, oscillating up and down, which often prevents flagged/dead. The point behind the Rabin comment was that, if one knows anything of him and his

I am trying to understand your points. But claiming there is no direct nor potential relation here is a new way of thinking for me, and I am struggling to compartmentalize. If we have: 1. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechne

Aside from https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-used... I think a little digging will reveal more than you suggest. When I recover from my daily prelude to death, I will recover supporting data.

Why I think this is unusually important: All four frontier models have active contracts with the Pentagon. And some might say, that alone means little. But when you take into consideration the implications of the United States-Israel FUTURE

by eth0up 1mo ago
I think it may get a bit more attention in the US due to Section 219 of NDAA 2027, which does add more layers to the situation than say, Turkiye. The implications are on a different level. And with all four frontier models having contracts

This has become kind of meta, but aside from validating my initial reply, perhaps you can explain your usage of the word; cope. I have seen other teens using it in strange context lately and figure it's time to learn some newspeak. Tho
