@a_fair_word @BowesChay Its a bridge... when striking a bridge, the goal is to render it impassable/irreparable. It was hit at least once before and needed follow ups. This reporter lacks situational awareness to be anywhere near a partially destroyed bridge.
English

@BowesChay So he was the target? There is nothing behind him, no miltary target. There is also a crater so thisnplace was already bombed. No reason to bomb again unless they were targeting him. I can't see if there is a bridge behind him, but still targeting civilian infrastructure a crime.

It looks like Steve and his crew were targetted with an M982 Excalibur, US GPS-guided, 155mm extended-range artillery shell.
They strike with precision within 4 meters at ranges over 40 km.

My close friend and colleague Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve is nearly killed by an Israeli strike in Lebanon. Their vehicles are clearly marked as Press. They wear Press markings. He's alive. What more can we say.

@khaliduchiha2 @r0ck3t23 You don't think AI can manage its own cybersecurity?
English

The analogy is correct. But there's one exception worth noting.
Cybersecurity is the only screen-based profession where AI increases demand rather than replacing it.
Every AI system deployed creates new attack surface. Every automation layer adds new threat vectors. The tools get smarter — so do the adversaries using them
Musk's lightning applies everywhere except the people cleaning up after the lightning strikes…
English

Elon Musk just described the white-collar extinction event. On Joe Rogan. Casually.
Musk: “Anything that is digital, which is like just someone at a computer doing something, AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning.”
Not gradually. Not eventually. Lightning.
The assumption most professionals are operating on is that AI will assist them. Make them faster. Augment what they do.
That assumption is the most expensive mistake a person can make right now.
Musk: “Just like digital computers took over the job of people doing manual calculations. But much faster.”
Think about that analogy for a moment.
We used to employ entire rooms of people whose sole function was arithmetic. Highly educated. Well-compensated. Essential to every organization that ran on numbers.
Then the computer arrived and the entire category disappeared.
Not shrank. Disappeared.
Nobody talks about it as a tragedy anymore because the transition happened before most people alive today were born.
It’s just history. A curiosity.
That same transition is happening right now to coding, writing, analysis, research, legal work, financial modeling.
Every profession whose output lives entirely on a screen.
The difference is the speed.
Digital computers took decades to displace manual calculation.
This is moving in years.
If your work begins and ends on a screen, you are not competing with a tool that makes someone else more productive.
You are competing with a replacement that does not sleep, does not need benefits, and gets cheaper every six months.
Musk is not predicting this future. He is describing the present tense.

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier.
The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

@Mappy6984 I feel bad that people in general dont understand money, investing, saving, how credit works, being diligent with credit or just in general buying cars you can't afford. Go buy a $6000 car in cash that you have. Pay off debt and fix your credit. Simple simple
English

@TheBat764 @Mappy6984 They literally have to recoup all the repo/auction losses from buyers who consistently don't pay.
English

@Mappy6984 GTFO here the highest rate I ever paid was 1.9 Percent for 48 month's it was worth financing as savings accounts at the time were paying 4.5 percent so paying cash would have been stupid. Charging 19.99 should be criminal just like credit cards charging 30% banks are real greedy.

Is there literally no video of these guys doing their job safely

This is how the most dangerous job you never hear about keeps your world running every single day. Roughnecks are the frontline crew of oil and gas drilling operations.

@JeffTittor @Oceanbreeze473 Yeah, we also thought quicksand was a huge problem as kids too.

Anonymous:
My manager just denied my PTO for my son’s Spring Break because she is going on a cruise that week and she “can’t find anyone else to work” because another coworker is also taking off for their child’s break … I gave a months notice and already booked the vacation. My son is very excited to spend time with us during those few days.
What’s the next move?

@eshanbuilds @NightSkyToday Its almost like every religious text from our past talk about this...
English

@NightSkyToday Every simulation has an exit condition. If this is a simulation, the real question isn’t who built it. It’s what triggers the shutdown.
English

@mitchellvii Because oil is a world traded commodity. This is 3rd grade stuff.
English

@jasonhambrecht @pmddomingos This right here... AGI, ASI, machines... its all just evolution of intelligence. Humans will be replaced... and the "species" will live on as digital intelligence.
English

@pmddomingos AI is the next step in the evolutionary process. Probably the largest step since sexual reproduction 1.2 billion years ago. Maybe bigger. It’s so crazy we are living to witness it. The odds of that are incalculable.

@ghostofRoc @NowTheEndBegins @CENTCOM @grok 6 most likely. Normal crew. Although they can carry passengers, but doubtful for refueling operation missions.
English

@NowTheEndBegins @CENTCOM @grok And they didn’t report it landed safely so the question now is likely how many souls on board that were lost
English

U.S. Central Command is aware of the loss of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing. Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely.
This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

@notcapnamerica Soooo... better in a landfill where it can't be accessed by wildlife populations we are already hindering?

I mean, a half eaten chicken bone is biodegradable.

Tyrese Gibson is facing backlash after fans caught him eating chicken in traffic and littering from his window 😬

@wendyp4545 Try and local spay and neuter clinic. Prices are usually less than $150.
English

@inqtelx @BarbellFi Yep.. any job that is doable remote will 100% be replaced by AGI.
English

@BarbellFi You don’t want to take that remote job.
There are hundreds of thousands people with same education and experience in countries like India or even Ukraine who will do $75k/year job for $40k or less.
Then, eventually AI will replace them too for the cost of electricity.

@weemelah11 @Dolfins1 @realnikohouse Market speculation. It has nothing to do with actual onhand supply and demand.

@Dolfins1 @realnikohouse So why are we paying more for fuel this week
