This sounds like his normal word salad. He’ll just interject with the topic instead of pausing. But man, listening to him snort and fumble through his words trying to throw shade about dyslexia is just…

Nice, it’s been a hot minute since I listened to some good Nerdcore.

Noem “will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida,” Trump posted on social media. “I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’”

This is some, “You can be Fire Lord, Azula, cause now I’m the Phoenix King” bullshit.

Like a reverse selkie. Speaking of Fae, the werewolves of Ossory are neat.

Anthropic’s artificial-intelligence model Claude was used in the U.S. military’s operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Claude’s deployment came via Anthropic’s partnership with data firm Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O) -WSJ via Reuters

Someone at Anthropic apparently saw that story, asked how Claude was used, and the Pentagon got cagey.

As a practitioner of that dark art, I fear you know not what you summon. You don’t really want Lemmy to be popular, not in a way that traditional marketing is going to make it popular.

Hah, yeah, I also noticed the contrast. If I were cutting a video about this, I’d definitely use the first bit and not the second. I think there’s a kernel of truth in AI accelerating science. But the the weird hierarchy with Physics as the top is just the common misunderstanding about the nature of emergent properties mixed with some old-fashioned elitism. And we’re way closer to the AI surveillance state than we are to automated AI research laboratories.
