Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I love how the article acts surprised that another cronies company got an amazing contract with this administration.

That was only so Hegseth had some visual stimulation to whack off to. Yes, I truly believe that.

Turns out that Skynet was a second rate AI powered by OpenAI ChatGpt.

This US admin has proven time and again that they do not care about their people or their country, at all. Anybody surprised that they also don't care about the planet, and all people?

We must continue to build our defences against US aggression.

They've already threatened to invade our allies on multiple occasions recently, and that's on top of the deeply evil things they're already doing, both to their own people and to others around the world.

We must take them seriously and protect ourselves.

They will come for us once they're done crushing their own citizens, and once they're finished securing their control over the global strategic and industrial resources needed for their future peer wars of domination against enemies and former allies.

It's sad, I know, but it's the reality we live in now. We mustn't live in denial just because the future is scary. They will continue to do evil things like this, and eventually come for us.

One potential complication in deeper Maven adoption is the software’s use of the Anthropic-made Claude AI tool, Reuters previously reported. Anthropic was recently deemed a ​supply chain risk by the Pentagon, amid a months-long spat over safety guardrails surrounding the AI.

So how is that meant to work? Is the Pentagon now a supply chain risk to itself?
