you are “pretty sure”… that flying hundreds of aircraft at the limits of their acceleration and capabilities (to put on a dramatic show for spectators) at hundreds of air shows around the world… uses less fuel than a single private jet flying routine passenger deliveries ?

press X to doubt

the hardware, I’ve heard many speculate, is for collecting data needed to power embodied AI (actual robots).

so far, US-based “AI” has focused largely on LLMs and disembodied “intelligence”. this is just interacting with screens. but getting their proprietary AI models into a real body that moves in the real world (using motors, balance, gyroscopes, accelerometers) will require a ton of training data.

might be bullshit. who knows. either way the goals of AI companies is all the same imo: create perfect slaves to replace workers.

i could be mistaken but wasn’t this one of several investigations into Musk owned companies which was halted after the inauguration?

There were so many investigations against tech bros stopped in 2025, it’s hard to keep it all straight.

this is the correct analysis and it took way too much digging to find it

no control or support structures to address their problems

this is a real unmet need. but propping up AI chat bots as the solution, instead of structural changes is somewhat self-defeating. getting people to become dependent on chat bots is exactly the profit model these unethical corporations are counting on.

they must be found and they must be held accountable for their crimes against the people.

why are they hosting it on the fucking Internet? I just don’t understand the lack of concern for safety. a few years ago leading experts said AI is an existential threat, but I guess after enough rounds of investor funding, the risks magically all disappeared?!

…suggest a short-range ballistic missile called a Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) was used to bomb a sports hall, school, and residential neighborhood in Lamerd.

The missiles are newly developed and are designed to detonate just above a target and propel small tungsten pellets into the surrounding area.

…The Times reported that munitions experts had analyzed footage of a weapon in flight over a residential area about 900 feet from the sports hall and school, showing the missile erupting “in a large fireball midair.”

Another video showed an explosion in midair just above the sports hall and nearby school, and photos of the aftermath showed the sites with numerous holes, presumably from the tungsten pellets.

…The sports hall in Lamerd was reportedly being used by a children’s volleyball team at the time of the strike; fourth grader Helma Ahmadizadeh and fifth grader Elham Zaeri were among those killed while at volleyball practice, according to an Iran-based journalist, Negin Bagheri.

Zaeri’s father “described her as an avid volleyball player, who would always turn up to the sports hall 20 to 25 minutes early,” the BBC reported.

The outlet also said the youngest victim of the suspected PrSM strike was two years old.

Home electricity bills are skyrocketing. For data centers, not so much. Data centers are consuming more kilowatts than ever, but the price they pay for that electricity has risen only a little.

you may not like AI, but you will be paying for it:

this is an old graph. it’s only gotten much worse as utility rates around the country have skyrocketed.

pretty sure they’re just speculating based on the fact Hawaii is one of the few places medically assisted suicide is codified into law.
