No, nor vitrification code either.

LiveJournal was bought up by a Russian firm. I recommend divestment.

Air Force AI writes battle plans faster than humans can — but some of them are wrong - Breaking Defense “While we're getting faster results and we're getting more results, there's still going to have to be a human in the loop for the foreseeable future to make sure they’re all viable,” said Maj. Gen. Ro...

Rapture? A human body literally being raised into the sky indefinitely is not headed for Heaven. First hypoxia, then anoxia, followed by unconsciousness. Past the Armstrong limit, water in the body boils off. The end result after ebullism is a radiation-fried bloated mummy headed for deep space.

Who else is astonished at the number of people who didn't know that acetaminophen is generic Tylenol?

Wipe out any browser cache, manually if necessary. I've previously encountered some kind of URL jacking that seems to be delivered via a file, so I suspect JavaScript pretending to be an extension.

This is a red heifer, correct? That's basically one of the ritual magic steps toward construction of the Third Temple, which in turn is part of the Second Coming summoning.

With AI, we've literally automated Orwell's "duckspeak". The formulas may be more complex, but that fact that we can now fairly easily detect AI slop is sufficient proof.

AI-fuelled delusions are hurting Canadians. Here are some of their stories | RCI 'I went from very normal … to complete devastation,' Ontario man says after 'AI psychosis'.

I wouldn't be surprised if social media troll farms were already mobilized to synergistically sync with and amplify the lie. Kirk himself hired troll farm Rally Forge to spread disinformation for the 2018 midterms.

That sounds in line with a push to increase the extent of authoritarian power. Already mainstream media has willingly whitewashed Kirk's ideological stances and shifts. If the mainstream media can be suborned to fully align with received ideology, media message control would be more total.

At this point it's more repeated attempts than trial balloon. An inevitable goal is to keep the far-right unified on a single ideological enemy rather than splintering over deep internal conflicts.

Drones, AI and robotics challenge order of Top 100 defense firms Massive geopolitical shifts and tech advancements continued to realign the annual Defense News defense-contractor ranking.

An ongoing trend not typically covered is how the Russia-Ukraine conflict has escalated to drone war arms race, now augmented with AI, resulting in rapid development of Skynet-adjacent technologies. Societies are sleepwalking into this future. www.defensenews.com/industry/202...

A simpler explanation might be that Canadian mainstream media prefers to avoid mentioning that Canadian independent media exists. Categorical rather than personal.

The Brits must be behind the times, recalling the alt-right libertarian persona from Trump’s first term instead of the ardent Christian nationalist organizer evident this term. It doesn't help that mainstream media eulogies paste over his controversies.

News from May. Presumably this reallocation of FBI resources served to take pressure off the far-right.

AI vs. MAGA: Populists alarmed by Trump’s embrace of AI, Big Tech AI “threatens the common man’s liberty,” says GOP Sen. Josh Hawley.

Christian Evangelicals and TESCREAL are not aligned. Time will tell how this internal conflict plays out, but there is increasing friction.

The current US administration sees itself in competition with China, fearing a manned Chinese military presence on the moon, yet they've chosen to gut NASA rather than fund an actual space race contender. Cold War style rhetoric without the budget to make it more than hollow hand-wringing.

Meta to invest 'at least' $600B on US data centers, infrastructure through 2028: report (META:NASDAQ) Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlaid plans this week to spend “at least $600B” through 2028 on data centers and other infrastructure in the U.S. Read for more.

I meant to include the link attesting to a claimed $600B. seekingalpha.com/news/4492819...

It's a claim of $600B by 2028 even. Meta shareholders must know at this point. I'm skeptical as well.

At this point, a plausible scenario is for TikTok to carry video revealing dissent at the US Open, and subsequently be finally banned by Trump.

Posse Comitatus is being treated more like guidelines than law. Trump must be smarting after Xi's military parade if he has to threaten to go to war against (a pause to recheck the teleprompter) the enemy regime of Chicago.

Classic American-style self-censorship, also observed in the wake of 9/11 and now returning. Trump alone is therefore as divisive as the invasion of Iraq under Bush-Cheney. State-controlled media by other means, obeying in advance.

An obvious big spend for Meta in coming years would be building and running datacenters, along with whatever extra power generation they need.

One can only infer that the far-right foresees AI-powered education as a means to achieving allows the ultimate in ultraconservative textbook revisionism.

"War is peace."

The timing of the Department of War announcement coming after China's recent military parade comes off as weaksauce.

Blocking trades for a single person would seem a betrayal of the principle of decentralized cryptocurrency. What they can do to a man, they can do to anyone, without accountability or appeal.

It's a move straight out of 1984: "War is peace."
