Played the new Deltarune chapter. Luckily I have a fairly similar appreciation for JRPGs/Touhou/dumb jokes as Toby Fox, so it was a good time. The actual gameplay was better this time as well, kinda impressive what they’re managing to pull off in gamemaker. Also, getting one of the Void Stranger devs as a guest programmer is super cool.
Well they certainly don’t make good cars, maybe weapons would be a smart pivot. Leave the cars to Japan and China since they seem to be the only ones capable of making decent ones
This is pretty funny coming from the guy who was desperately trying to get Russia into said rules-based order for years, arguably even after the war in Ukraine started
If you wanted to really commit to everything Jesus said, you’d basically have to give away all your shit and do charity work or something similar. A good chunk of Christian theology since then is why you don’t actually have to do all that, since being poor sucks and that’s no way to grow a religion.
That mod seems to be doing a takeover of the sub. The sub is down to three non-bot mods now. One of them seems to have deleted their entire post history, one hasn’t posted in five months, and the last one is the ADL’s strongest soldier we see here.
Also someone in another sub posted this, the mod is of those “we failed Palestine by not voting Biden” type libs
What ability would they even have to claim the property if they won in court? Is this just-in-case proceedings for a potential invasion?
It’s been less than 24 hours since Trump was threatening the negotiators so, yeah
It was reopened briefly after the memorandum, but after Israel ignored the ceasefire, Iran closed it again around 36 hours ago. So just in the last week it went closed -> open -> closed
They have to do something, large scale drone attacks are a good way to do that without putting a bunch of your very limited troops at risk. Plus this is an awkward time for oil generally, probably won’t be as easy to find alternate sources when a hundred other countries want some too.
Admittedly I don’t think they really have a path to victory here, but if they ever decide to do negotiations, the threat of large drone attacks like this gives them a little more leverage.
They already had the photo op in Versailles yesterday, maybe that was good enough?
Pentagon AI chief: Musk’s Grok chatbot used to launch thousands of missiles at Iran
The Pentagon artificial intelligence chief on Monday said Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is tantamount to national security in a sworn statement that noted xAI’s technology has been used throughout the Iran war.
Cameron Stanley, the chief digital and artificial intelligence officer for the Department of Defense, wrote that the chatbot “enabled U.S. forces to deploy over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury, a testament to the greatly increased operational efficiency made possible by the Grok Gov Model.”
“Furthermore, it has tailored functionality to support military planning workflows, report synthesis and generation, predictive analytics for logistics and sustainment, red-teaming analysis of adversary positioning, personnel management, and medical supply lines,” Stanley wrote. “The Grok Gov Model offers features unique to XAI that are found in no other frontier AI model,” he added
Almost every Ace Combat game has a mission where you have to fly in a canyon to avoid enemy radar. They don’t make you do it in a F-5!
Also, shout-out to the flight sim youtuber who correctly predicted how like 80% of this went a month ago. Incredible amount of skill required for something like this
Can’t help but wish they held him over the coals a little longer but eh
Was watching the news with my dad and he said the leak was fake because it would mean America lost and Trump would never agree to that 
We were flying at an extremely, extremely low altitude.
From a flight-standard perspective, the standard training altitude is around 500 feet, but we were below 50 feet.
We knew that Patriot systems were deployed in the area, and that this base had multi-layered air defense. Given Kuwait’s cooperation, they were protecting this base, and scrambled F-18s were monitoring it.
Even though we knew AWACS aircraft were up there and surveillance/listening sites were active, the entire flight was conducted under complete radio silence.
I should mention here that there were 2-3 ships, we were flying so low that we passed between 2 ships, and their decks were higher than us. In other words, the sailors were looking down at us from the deck.
holy shit
where did this first quote come from, “internal authoritarianism” is libshit but not in either of your 2 links
Twitter post by the people that wrote the article. I didn’t save it but it was basically just the first bit I quoted plus a link to the article.
After years in the PSL leadership, Walter Smolarek has resigned and published a devastating tell-all letter alleging internal authoritarianism, sabotage of local organizing efforts, and even the development of an AI-powered system to monitor members.
A particularly alarming claim in Smolarek’s letter alleges that PSL is now spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to employ software developers to build an A.I.-powered secret police system with the objective of spying on members of every PSL branch in the country. Its stated purpose is to compile reports that the national leadership will use to “ensure compliance with national directives.” He says members caught reading Jacobin or taking an organizing class are treated as security breaches. According to Smolarek, this comes at a time when the organization refuses to fund political or leadership education initiatives.
Interesting article. I was wondering what was up with Redditors saying Ukraine had the advantage currently when there was no large counteroffensive to go along with it like the last couple times.
