Captain Obvious, reporting for duty, sir!

This would’ve been hilarious, if they hadn’t started a horrible war…

“Easy now, be careful not to touch the…”

SPLAT!

Just look at those morons…

And let it sink in for a moment that these two losers have just ended 80 years of globalism and free trade, killed thousands of people, forced millions more into poverty, planted the seeds for future wars and famines that will affect hundreds of millions more, likely enriched themselves in the process and give absolutely zero fucks about the suffering they’ve caused.

And all I’m reading online is comments from Americans either explaining how sad they feel for the rest of the world or excusing themselves because they didn’t vote for them. Nobody fucking cares. Fix your shit, America…

Should’ve posted this under leopardsatmyface

Its the Russian playbook all over again

This is absolutely f*%#ing insane…

Kharg island is tiny. Really tiny. Any troops trying to hold it are going to get hit with drones, missiles and artillery constantly.

We haven’t just learned the location of the Charles de Gaulle, but also the name of the sailor who’s going to be scrubbing the toilets for the next few months.

This sounds an awful lot like Iran is not only not losing the war, but is actually winning the war.

Are you suggesting OpenAI and others like it might actually be…

…overvalued?! 🫢

Not just a security disaster, but a disaster for performance, testing, lifecycle management etc.

I don’t think people realize just how amazingly stupid it is to outsource your core business to an LLM, unless your software company was a get rich quick scheme to begin with (which is surprisingly common btw).

Not a programmer myself, but I don’t believe for a second that LLM’s will replace programmers.

Altman’s bullshitting on social media is just marketing. Don’t believe for a second that this guy actually speaks truth or even knows what he’s talking about.

However, I do believe that a lot of executives are gullible enough to fall for this vibe-coding scam and kill their business. I also believe we’re going to see a tsunami of racketeers selling broken products.

Does anyone seriously believe a word coming out of the White House anymore?

So…if you ask Grok for healthy diet tips, it tells you to shove it up your ass?

My question would be: do we really need a next-gen, multi-mission stealth fighter to safeguard ourselves from the Russians?

I’ve been working in the Dutch tech sector for decades. My general opinion about the culture of Dutch governmental institutions, including Defense, is one of neoliberalism and technological opportunism.

Public officials are completely ignorant about technology, yet misuse technology to advance their careers by starting megalomanic IT-projects, meant as nonsensical solutions to help realize highly unlikely business cases, that will only be realized (maybe) years after they’d handed over the reigns.

All of this has caused governments to become highly digitized, with large pools of IT-‘professionals’, yet barely able to maintain and develop the digital infrastructure they built up, because of a catastrophic shortage of tech-savy leaders and actual experts.

The reason I mention this, is because Dutch public officials are generally both highly techno-optimistic as well as highly techno-ignorant. Its not uncommon to see them making claims that sound misguided or downright false to anyone who’s anyone.

My take is that Tuinman likely shared his comment in an attempt to comfort the public, but that it betrays his fundamental lack of understanding about the digital infrastructure that makes up the F35. And if Tuinman is being fed this sort of information by his subordinates, then I’m worried that the experts at Defense might not actually understand the infrastructure themselves either.

The risk in all of this, is that Defense and the political establishment might be lulling themselves into a false sense of security, by underestimating the risks. Sure, you can jailbreak software, but many of the F35’s capabilities still require live access to the American intelligence infrastructure. Without that access, knowing there is no European alternative, the F35 would be a fundamentally broken plane.
