Barksdale Air Force Base - It's Worse Than You Think Monday, 03/09/2026 - Friday, 03/13/2026 A swarm of 12-15 drones penetrated BAFB for 5 consecutive days (4 hours loitering). They halted flight operations, and in one occasion, forced a shelter-in-place order. SIGNIFICANCE BAFB is the launchpad for B-52's that are and were flying combat operations over Iran. BAFB has jamming equipment that was unsuccessful in stopping the drone swarms. The 4-hour loiter time, coupled with the drone swarms ability to resist jamming attempts, is beyond troubling. Additionally, the drones were equipped with lights. Of note, no reports of drones flying over Shreveport were noted. This suggests the drones approached from the remote areas to the southeast of BAFB and turned their lights on once over BAFB. ANALYSIS It is unknown if the drones were fixed-wing or quadcopter. Given the 5 days of repeated intrusions, there is a higher probability that these drones were launched from a remote area. Operators would need to alternate between multiple launch and landing points to avoid detection. A fixed-wing style drone with a hybrid motor operating on liquid fuel and battery is a likely contender. This would place the wing span at about 4-5 meters, advanced cameras for guidance and terrain analysis, and a total 6-hour flight time. That would easily drive the cost of each drone above $60,000 USD each. On the low end, the drones would cost $900,000 in total and could push upwards of $1.5 million. That is not just a couple of kids playing around, that is a sophisticated operation. State actors or well funded terror networks become likely culprits. The drones would require about 50 meters of runway space, something that the remote areas of LA offer in abundance. They would also need a storage location, vehicles to move the drones, and plenty of operators. This suggests an intact, well-funded, and well-trained hostile network near one of America's most strategic Air Force Bases. There is a reason the military and our government have been silent, except for confirmation of the reports.

Neighbor got a video. I know San Antonio is Military City USA but I’ve lived in this house since 2009 & I’ve NEVER experienced something like this. Helicopters must be moving from Lackland to Camp Bullis? Idk. I don’t like this 😭

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

🚨 Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson makes clear that her city doesn’t need a Signal chats. Instead she’s going to mobilize the actual police force to do what Signal networks do in Minneapolis. She will even have the SPD relay intel gathered on federal agents to “community partners” and ban usage of city property by agents. Katie is a former professional protestor. She’s manipulating her office as mayor of one of the most powerful cities in the country to aid and abet domestic terrorists today, and resist the federal government. Insurrection.
