@iniemohk man I love this artist

Alternate history scenario: What if the Zambian space program succeeded and somehow by insane miracle managed to achieve their goals of Christianizing Mars and becoming the controllers of the seventh heaven of interstellar space?

@Truthful_ast absolutely true fucking PLEASE one day PLEASE

Honestly if LA had the zoning and infrastructure comparable to Japanese/Chinese cities, it would be the greatest city on Earth

@Sereph9 you are famous now virgin, you may as well pin that post

Not the 1 tweet I make about being a virgin doing numbers, I hate yall LMAO

@Bowtiedplayer correct, you can see the buildup of deploying 100k soldiers months away because it takes months to do, look at the buildup we saw just for this or for Venezuela, reporting was on it for at least a month! they probably will take some islands though. it's so easy

I get it most of you guys only have knowledge about the military from Call of Duty or Hollywood movies so let me help you out here If the President gave the go-order, it would probably take 3-4 months MINIMUM to get sufficient ground forces into position for a full on ground invasion of Iran. Yes I know that the 82nd Airborne can deploy anywhere in a short amount of time etc., heavy armor like 1st Cavalry Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Armored Division, it takes time to get equipment prepared, physically shipped from point A to point B, RSO&I; realistically more like 6 months honestly since we haven't done a mass mobilization like this in 2 decades. This is why Desert Shield was a thing before Desert Storm, just to buy time to get our heavy armor into position The President doesn't want to get into a major ground engagement before the midterms All that is to say, you're not getting drafted. A draft is never going to happen, and you're too fat and old anyways. Some of you older millennials are overdue for your prostate exam anyways. My prediction for the most likely course of action: continued air strikes, Trump dangles Airborne and Marines as a threat as part of a negotiating tactic, and eventually there is a settlement since the IRGC doesn't want to get lynched by their own people (they might get lynched anyway). Please stop getting guidance from middle aged crashouts on X.

@deanwball @zhil_arf it's simple jealously and denial, mixed with delusion. we have a pandemic of it today

My theory about why so many on the left remain in denial about AI is that their worldview rests on a load-bearing notion of “the tech industry” as being composed of vapid morons whose accomplishments will always be superficial, never “real,” always based on some grand theft. With social media and search, the theft was manipulation of people’s minds. With Amazon it was worker exploitation. With Apple, it was a mix of these. In the left retelling of the story, no value whatsoever was created from these technologies. All a trick. With AI the “grand theft” in the telling of the left is the use of copyright-protected data in pre-training. This one is a particularly dangerous mindworm for them, since they identify with the “artists and writers” from whom they imagine this training data was “stolen.” This is why things like “mode collapse” from synthetic data, stochastic parrotry, “it can only mimic things it has seen on the web” and similar are so core to the argument for the left: it supports the notion of “tech bro” thieves—who lest we forget, and they never will let us, have no “liberal arts” training!—continuing their unbroken string of robberies. Of course the “grand theft” notion is an old motif on the left, relating as it does to a zero-sum mindset about economics, business, and growth that is. more traditionally associated with the left, though the lines have always been blurry, since the zero-sum mindset is above all else a *human* fallacy and thus a useful tactic in mass politics of all valences. The lines have become especially blurry lately, as has been widely observed. Anyway, the notion that AI *is* a genuinely world-changing technology, that it can “go beyond” its “stolen” training data, breaks this load-bearing conception of the tech industry as vapid and superficial and, more importantly, of the people within it as blood-sucking thieves.

@arctotherium42 @whyvert which the israelis................

@whyvert Of course, for this to work, you have to actually be willing to kill the civilians that don't evacuate, otherwise, they'll call your bluff.

Fighting guerillas is very hard (see: Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq) because they hide among civilians. Israel has learned this and now orders civilians to evacuate. Anyone left is a target. The lesson: irregular wars can be fought and won. Guerillas are not invincible.

@whyvert imposing costs on your attacker via irregular gurellia warfare versus attacker enormously raising your costs for choosing to do that by just killing everyone not fleeing
