General, man is very useful.
He can fly and he can kill.
But he has one defect:
He can think.”

General, your bomber is powerful.
It flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant.
But it has one defect:
It needs a mechanic.

It smashes down forests and crushes a hundred men.
But it has one defect:
It needs a driver.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

miserable things are afoot in the world, so finding joy is important - my cat was watching Animal Planet just now, & she was delighted to see a Texas Horned Lizard (they're orange... so is she)

I would assume Lenin and them in Russia & Karl and Rosa & them in Germany had conversations like that with servicemen in their respective armies and from what I understand that kinda worked (well, that plus mustard gas plus military defeat...)
