Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Cool.

“If a hypersonic missile is launched during a conventional skirmish, the receiving party has no way of knowing whether the incoming warhead is designed to destroy a single building or an entire city."

"Many hypersonic platforms are dual-capable, meaning they can carry either conventional or nuclear payloads without any outward physical distinction.”

“In this environment, the very weapons designed to provide a strategic edge may instead become the tripwire for a war that escapes human control long before the first warhead even detonates.”

“Unlike the ballistic era, where hotlines and satellite monitoring provided a degree of transparency, the hypersonic landscape is currently a technological Wild West. We are all vulnerable to a scenario where a rogue sensor or a misidentified flight path triggers a preprogrammed defensive response.”

“The result is a security architecture where the greatest threat is no longer a conscious political decision to go to war, but a mathematical error that propagates through an automated chain of command.”

From a post on “Forgotten Languages” (think OpenAI):

“If two opposing AI systems, each with their own unique algorithmic vulnerabilities, begin to interact during a period of geopolitical tension, they may enter a competitive loop of escalation that moves faster than human oversight can track.”

Somebody should give them a few pictures of chandeliers and irrigation circles to hold up as a distraction.

Just watch, their answer will be to install screaming gas turbine generators outside their suburban data centers. Neighbors will love that just as much as the high electric bills.

A bunch of people were concerned John got hacked. Hilarity ensued in the comments when he asserted he did not, in fact, get hacked.

Ah yes, Trump will surely get the Nobel this year.

I’ve loved Bruce Campbell since I was 10 years old from the first time my parents let me watch Army of Darkness. He’s the quintessential “B-Movie” celebrity who never takes himself seriously and brings a level of joy to every performance. You got this Bruce.

Good, now if only we could start booking suspects in the USA to the same level it’s being done in the UK.

The real question is — who wrote the cheeseball script for Tara and Johnny to read on NBC’s broadcast of the LSD-fueled interpretive steampunk ballet that is the Olympic Closing Ceremony.

I don’t care that Kash Patel went to the Olympics but I do care that he’s such a fucking dork.
