Pentagon is embracing Musk's Grok AI chatbot as it draws global outcry Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google's generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, as part of a broader ...

"Very soon we will have the world's leading AI models on every unclassified and classified network throughout our department," Hegseth said in a speech at Musk's space flight company, SpaceX, in South Texas.

We absolutely do not need to know the origin story of Poirot’s mustache complete with flashback. Get back to over the top period detectiving.

do you think dogs have an understanding of the passage of time and the cyclical nature of seasons or does my dog just wake up every morning of her life and think β€œI wonder if today’s the day that lunatic drags a whole fir tree in here again”

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C. Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

Embroidered image of Pearl, the Halifax Oyster Fest mascost. She's an anthropromorphized oyster with a large shell, layered in multiple shades & textures of grey. Along some of the shell layers she has large light blue eyes that are lined with black and with short black eyelashes. In the center of the shell are voluptuous red lips. She's sitting in a seductive position with arms and legs the colour of oyster meat next to a silver anchor. She's wearing blue fishnet stockings and black stilleto boots. The image is based on the real concept art for the mascot design, first published in The Coast magazine.

Happy Halloween from Luella. Given to Mary Davis when her parents visited from sea. Mary lived with her grandparents until age 5, then joined her parents at sea from 1873-1878. Luella has β€œreal hair” & watches you while you sleep. πŸ‘»

genuinely hard to believe that the lyrics β€œand I scream at the top of my lungs, what’s going on?” were written in 1993. What’s going on is that you can buy a house for $4 and a button, get on that.

One of the β€˜flying’ saucers: a shiny disk, a little over four feet in diameter, with a dome shape on top. We can see the legs of someone in dark clothes standing next to it. This may be a police officer.

58 years ago today we discovered we weren’t alone in the universe. Six *actual* flying saucers landed across southern England along a ley line, providing CONCLUSIVE PROOF at long last.

Well... 🧡

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids
