The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

it looks like i’m a feckless and incompetent CEO steering one of the largest ships in the world toward certain disaster. this is false — i’ve actually just had a fantastic learning opportunity! ChatGruntPT will never kill without at least a corporal’s vague positive sentiments as tacit approval!

The US has fewer counterintelligence officers who have experience with Iran because a few years ago those US officers did their jobs properly and assisted with a judge-signed search warrant regarding a criminal theft of US defense secrets, which the search found a lot of evidence of.

Seriously.

447. The Shinji Problem We get into the love/hate triangle between Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Pentagon and discuss the details of these contracts for AI weapon and surveillance systems, what’s actually at stake here with deb

In the new TMK, we lay out the love/hate triangle between Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Pentagon and how the competing (a)moral visions for AI and war really come down to a difference of opinion about technical capabilities, not ethical or political concerns.

Screenshot of text: First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

I have said many times that if your internal barometer for Right and Wrong or whether actions are permissible is whether or not something is legal I view you as a danger to me and all around me.
