I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR

bonus points for letting a major competitor position themselves as The Ethical AI Company

Facing Backlash, OpenAI Amends Pentagon Deal to Add More Anti-Surveillance Verbiage When Katy Perry sides with your competitor, something's got to be done.

Extra verbiage. Glad it’s sorted. 🙄

I think a better question is

What the fuck does conscious mean, a ton of humans aren't.

Such as me about many things

It's never been tried

Giving the Kurds an object of penance i mean

They said it couldn’t be done!

Guys I invented a way to make cake keep doctors away

France Floats Nuclear Deployment Across Europe The country will increase its stock of nuclear warheads and may, for the first time, temporarily deploy them on allies’ territory.

hmmm. Yah I mean we used to do and aren't reliable

this is good and not even that big a deal its the status quo except its another country thats in NATO's nukes instead of ours

I'm sure our admin would flip out

Both leaders win! short term.

One doesn't even understand the long term

They get all the expertise of the us oil industry, techniques and a huge amount of infrastructure that we partially pay for.

We get a legal claim when the assets r seized when finished in 2-4 years (remember they have no permitting lol) and a reason for the press to empty the SPR this summer.

What if we invested massively in Russia tho and did a bunch of JVs. After completely removing sanctions ofc

To bring down oil for midterms

I mean, that would be bad for even worse reasons but I literally can see trump getting a call him Putin and him thinking its a great idea

if he hasn't already

Me neither but we have to try!

Now let's push this giant ball of oil out the window!

Note: for IRL humans, DO NOT TAKE THIS ADVICE (Actually the correct advice is nearly the opposite)

Some nuance

OR engage with me agreeing yes 100% absolutely and also HAVE YOU CONSIDRED

Like and move on. Or just move on. it's social media guys.

Engagement is the great part about it if its on your terms and the other persons terms align. Not if you need to change yourself to engage. Then just ignore

I really don't think this is a debate but if someone wants to disagree with a long thought out post and a link to something longer sure

If they want to engage with me on how I'm wrong I may be suspicious :)

When you can immediately engage with a post by tagging a bot and it will engage with you infinity thereafter, you become conditioned to engage with bots themselves AND they effectively get training data off your posts on how to frame response to get you to keep engaging

This allows for propaganda

This is partially based on not being a very good person and having some bots on X (not on bluesky tho so no way to compare and obviously have a bias, someone else do it)

Would make for a great paper in Academica tho

I really do think its a shift, in 2016 the level of 'o duh that's a bot' was maybe 70% of people and 30% engaging on twitter

in 2025, that shifted to 20% thinking that's a bot and 80% engaging in convo with it

It's the outcome of grok integration on X

There's no way to really measure this

If you knew every account on bluesky and X that was a human 100%

I would wager bluesky humans are MUCH better at recognizing & not engaging with bots

Not to brag guys, it's just that Grok literally conditioned them to do that for 8 months.

Also, its a guess

(I actually do cause they know it won't work so might as well spread the VERY GOOD article their own way)

It was 100% people to 5% people in like 10 minutes

Guys I don’t feel comfortable when 50 people like a post that quickly cause I know how this works I’m not delusional

I’m not that cool!

But since mody of ya’ll are real, gift link again!

That wasn’t on purpose.

It is still the worst possible outcome

Abort this became too popular

Are you kidding me MORE snow

at least it should melt fast finally

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

Actually the worst outcome would be this in North Korea cause they have the same 'leadership death' type of contigency but also distribute chemical and (now) tatical nuclear weapons to decentralized military

but this is as bad as it gets in the middle east

I mean we’ll see seems like we didn’t think this through lol

Whelp then….

Love this line

Reactions differed by nationality. Being honed conflict survivors in their home country meant “the Afghans here are pretty relaxed”, said Saad Mohseni, the Afghan chief executive of the Dubai-based Moby Media Group.
