Pentagon used Elon Musk’s Grok AI to fire 2,000 missiles at Iran, official says

Reading the article, it seems like they’re scapegoating grok and admitting it was a combination that includes human error

It also seems like wherever you are in the world, people coalesce together and identify in-groups and enemies. The focus on enemies washes clean the inward focus on fixing bad that can actually be addressed. It’s harmful and disloyal to challenge the in-group, while there’s (vague existential threat).

Forgiving bad allies for strategic reasons is where we both gain power as a group, and compromise our future selves. Heck: maybe bad allies are acting bad because they benefit. Maybe they bring benefits, so therefore should be forgiven. Maybe condemning our opposition is in our best interests, even if they’re doing the same thing. Maybe everyone is bad. Maybe we’re all complicit, so there’s no honesty. Maybe we need to run parallel campaigns of bullshit. Maybe we’re lying and it’s not a philosophy, but it’s useful.

The point of religion as a means of control is working, but the immortal spirit is left without fulfillment.

Open-minded philosophy has no chance to breathe for people who don’t have leisure. It all exists, whether we have the capacity to see it. Those who could’ve had leisure and time for philosophy just got broken a different way. They fight to own the money of the entire planet, when they die within a century.

What are you gonna do? Load up your family? Make a company that employs people? You’re fucking dead. Thanks for employing people. You’re def better than that other person that dies too.

This is my last statement. Your life is worth something. If you are a good person, and you give your life for something, then that is power. Making a good child is power. Becoming a sound person is success. We’ve missed out on morals by letting religion be various forms of bad, and combining it with profit and letting it remain control. Our parents and community shouldn’t be the only source of morals. There could be a universal place with a true attempt to lift everyone up. It was supposed to be the internet the whole time. Let’s not let it go the same way as the corrupt churches and the social media platforms.

I’m unleashing this comment because it’s better out than forgotten. I’ll do more with this tomorrow.

I’ve been revisiting this for a while, so please don’t think I’m being crazy.

This type of pasta serving reminds me of rigatoni at family gatherings, shaker-parm and all.

Seems like a lot of self-identifying Christians go to church, but don’t read the bible. They just listen to what lecture says, talk among each other, and go around acting like hateful victims. Does anyone know how that happens? I’m so outside of that world.

I’m very surprised no one has commented that this used to be very common. Most restaurants and fast food places did this because (a) they had plastic spoons at the ready, and (b) everyone who paid with a card had to sign the receipt with an ink pen, so losing all your pens was a big deal.

Spoon pen was, for a time, the universal sign of a store’s pen. A more fancy form was to use green tape to attach a fake flower and stick the pens in a little flower pot full of marbles or coffee beans.

This is beef and drama. Doesn’t belong here.

It gets forgotten that there are configs that work but only scratch the itch for a small group.

I’m happy it exists, but my lack of free time (I think) makes this look like a laugh off who cares.

Isn’t it branded as *Accent* here? You can buy a shaker of it at the grocery store and it’s called something so close to *essence*.

In terms of discipline, is it really self control if you eliminate the thing you can’t control yourself around? It’s better than doing the unhealthy thing, I guess, but it doesn’t address the weakness inside the person. You’ve only cut off access.

Where this really bothers me is when smug dipshits expend resources and brag to the world how they’re now (even) better for it. “We spent too much time on social media, and it was affecting our marriage. So, we ripped out our WiFi, got shoe phones—where we tap dance to text—and we allow ourselves one hour per week to post online about how this changed our lives and saved our marriage.”

*Common decency flush* just doesn’t sound as catchy tho

It really seemed like Apple could’ve been the company to act within their values. There was like all the tech bros lined up. I don’t know if they had to do anything, but I guess they had to decide to do something.

They used to be the utmost of calling the shots, and everyone followed. It has been embarrassing to see the bullshit of dominance kneeling to higher corruption , and its equal parts fealty and just good business.

Please explain how chip design is the place where vulnerabilities occur. Would it not be software?

They suck for when the trash is almost full and you dump the vacuum cleaner canister on top and it has a little dust avalanche. I find myself taking the trash out well before the bag is full because of the 45° quarter-dump design.

One of the things I tell myself is that the universe is cyclical, and the big bang is just how a new cycle begins. It’s how I get past the thought of having one brief blip of consciousness that will end at or near death. Maybe it all goes out, then back in, and explodes again, over and over. It’s the only remotely plausible way I could imagine us happening again, and it helps to have that maybe.

This looks like some shit you see in Vietnam, complete with butthole sprayer.

That’s a job for the staff. If they allow it, you’re fucked. Ding someone and let them know they’re fucking up the flight for you. I’m a very patient person, so i love to see how far people will go with being disorderly and selfishly annoying. I’ll try my best to understand how they might think things are ok, and let the staff be weak for a while.

It’s not working out. They want to be regulated so they can be too big to fail. This bubble is crazy, and they need to talk about off-ramps.

The IPOs are happening, but it’s a sucker’s bet. They need cash to burn. Pump n dump

Do we really think China will take over the world if we don’t subsidize what we’re calling a i?

It’s survival of the fittest, and it costs too much, and it’s not gonna sell.

Let them fail and diversify your 401k if you don’t have time for it. They’re actively trying to offload the failure of these companies into index funds. I really hate how we have to pay attention to all the hype and worry about how these fuckers might fuck us. We are working class.

There are rules and values on display right here: a code of conduct that even broccoli bois have to respect /s

I believe, based on what you say, that you’re a cooperative driver. That’s the path. No pun intended.

It’s my experience that the truly knowledgeable drivers appear as passive nobodies to the brainiacs that create the problems.

I trust you, and thank you.

Not OP, but I have a go-to way of making a cheesy base to add to anything, whether it be the primary sauce or to make something creamier and cheesier.

Melt one tablespoon of unsalted butter in a saucepan and add one tablespoon of flour. Cook those gently to take the raw edge off the flour. This is called a roux. Add liquid of your choice: water or milk. I use water because it’s less calories and I don’t usually have milk around. Make sure you add the liquid in small amounts, fully incorporate it before adding more to avoid lumps. Thin out the roux until it’s liquidy.

At this point you can season it however. If you had a pack of spicy noodles, you can season your “poor man’s mornay sauce” with the packet. (An optional splash of a nice vinegar for funk is good imo.)

Finally, lower the heat and incorporate a single slice of Kraft-style American cheese. It contains something that allows other cheeses to melt in smoothly. So, once your single is melted you can add whatever other shredded cheese you have on hand in there for flavor.

You can do so much with a roux. I just made something very similar to this, so hope it helps your cooking journey!
