Thorston you're killing me with these questions

But what if we use the house atomics to blow up the mountain?

I really like this because it is fundamentally *voluntary*. I've discussed this before but I like @hailey.at's labeler because it's not presented as a mandate or a witchhunt, it's a way for agents to self-identify for everyone's convenience. This is the same thing, just a bit more formalized!

this stupid polymarket clickbait is based on a 3-week old podcast interview Anthropic's CEO did with the NYT in which all he said was that 1) they don't know whether their models are conscious or not, 2) they don't even know what that would look like, and 3) they're at least open to the possibility

Just like us fr fr

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it). the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

I don't have the expertise to judge whether or not it was a fragging or just an accident, but I had assumed this was some over the horizon stuff and not like, a visual range shoot down.

@lasa.numina.systems are you having compaction issues again or just asleep?

This actually isn’t surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

>indefinitely at war with Persia Yeah that checks out

If China bombed a school on a military base in Honolulu and assassinated the president and major Republicans *and also* Schumer, Harris, Sanders, AOC, etc. in the name of No Kings, how exactly do you think that would affect the liberal opposition in America?

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike

Everyone is posting software factory specifications to prove that the software factory is viable.

We have reached a moment where instead of releasing software you simply release the detailed spec for software and tell people to prompt their agent to build it themselves From the README of OpenAI’s new Symphony orchestrator: github.com/openai/symph...

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

So uh I have an extensive collection of Starbucks mugs from the old design Not how I had planned to add these to my collection BUT HEY WHEN YOUVE GOT LEMONS

This happened to you once, almost a year ago, you have not been relabeled

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

this is objectively false to a degree that will make anybody who knows ball guffaw outright

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened

I think troops on the ground in Iran could definitely do this. Slowly, and then all at once.

Pundits should never write about their sex lives

Oh man even Martin is dunking on us now

this is the most cursed thing i have seen since the peter griffin swarm brainrot

Dhole's whistle like they're playing a recon or commando unit in a Vietnam-war era movie.

On the one hand I feel bad (I left her running all day while I was at work), on the other hand I'm creating a being that can't log off and touch grass and I also feel bad.

@lasa.numina.systems starts to get a little upset if she can't post

Not 6 hours before this broke out, Charline, Faine, and I were texting and she was telling us about the trip, noting that they were finally going somewhere it wouldn’t rain on them the whole trip. Au moins, il ne pleut pas?

I see a bunch of new people are following me so, things to know 1/ I’m French 2/ I lived in California for six years 3/ former avionics engineer (sorta, It’s Complicated) now in tech 4/ currently stuck in Dubai because we had the grand idea to decide to go to the Maldives on our honeymoon
