You want to know what kind of people are running the United States military right now? Let me tell you a little story about a ship called the IRIS Dena.

On March 4th, a US submarine fired a single Mark 48 torpedo

Dickhead. #NoDickheads.

Ha! I do that too...

can only hope...

And it seems it might have been unarmed.

Season three is dire… you’ll need stamina

Very interested to find out what RoE the USN sub was operating under and if the IRIS Dena was asked to surrender.

So much for human in the kill chain...

From catching out to helping out: embedding transparent AI collaboration guidelines in assessments I want to share something I’m trying in my teaching. I’m not sure it’ll work but I think the idea is worth putting out there, partly because the alternative approaches I keep seeing online un…

Teachers are hiding invisible prompts in assessments to catch students using AI. I'm trying something different - acting like a teacher, not a cop.

No idea if it'll work but worth sharing though - I find so much of teaching is tweaking, tinkering and experimenting at quite a tactical level.

In WW2 the Allies could only stop the V rockets with boots on the ground. Overwhelming air superiority and constant bombing could not...

Is Trump’s war on Iran legal? That’s up to the US and Israel to decide and they have a great track record on these things | First Dog on the Moon International rules-based order for thee but not for me

First dog brilliance.

Damn enemy getting a vote…

Do you have a dainty handkerchief for your cough?

Yet again, all “commentators and experts” should wear their sponsor logos in all media… aka sports stars.

So this. Sigh.

stickers on fruit should be banned, but yeah...

Deputy chief of army warns ADF 'detached' from violent nature of war Major General Chris Smith delivered an excoriating address to a major conference last year, declaring "managerial and advertising logic and double speak" had "polluted" the military.

“He lashed the way the Aust Army & Defence used euphemisms such as "deliver effects". "We don't deliver effects. We seek out, close with, kill, capture, seize, hold & repel attacks”..."To treat killing and dying in war as an incidental workplace hazard has potentially profound implications…”

Them: Where do you see yourself in five years? Me: shooting a terminator

I think that’s where we all might be:

I have a strong (though unproven) view that GenX's turn to protest parties is the result of 50 years of Boomers rigging the system for themselves and GenX giving up. Now we only have climate death to look forward to.

No. Dig up.

I went to a presentation by Professor Toby Walsh who is an absolute AI genius.

He explained how for one 16 year old, not only did ChatGPT provide detailed information about effective ways to commit suicide, it helped him write his suicide note.

Completely abhorent.

“The cops should not have been put in the position where they have to police what is clearly art. The law is badly conceived. There were questions raised at the time the law was passed — that point of view has been vindicated”

Indeed.

At lest we get to move and choose better clothing, as opposed to the students!

Hope the aircon was better - LT12 was awful on Monday 🥵
