@WGMorrow I was in Bad Hershel’s 87-89, stood in the Fulda Gap. Not many people know what it is these days. Had to explain it to a young guy this afternoon. Very timely article. Allons.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! FBI Director Patel says leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been indicted, was using donor to pay leaders of the KU KLUX KLAN to stage "HATE CRIMES"
"They used the FRAUDULENTLY raised money by lying to their donor network—THOUSANDS of Americans—to go ahead and actually PAY the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.
"Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center—on TOP of perpetuating this widespread decade-long multimillion dollar fraud—conducted more criminal activity.
They attempted to HIDE their criminal activity from our financial banking network.
They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were DECEIVED in believing that money was NOT coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud."

@_baldtires I know @Boeing had one until the big change about a decade ago when the Finance Bro's took over and all the problems started. He told me there were others at the big Primes. He, and his peers, painted aircraft pictures for the company as their full-time job.
You're missing the whole point. The policy had the effect they wanted. There were no surprises, or unintended consequences, the entire time. They new what they were doing, what price would be paid (in blood and damage), and they did it anyway. Donald Trump wasn't supposed to win in 2016, and when he did, they fixed that and went back to what they were doing.
I don’t know why someone just now reposted this thread from Tammy and I also don’t know why I didn’t see it in the first place other than it was crazy at the time. But I just want you to know how much I love this thread and @HeyTammyBruce .
And to think that plumbers and electricians and welders and pipe fitters and fabricators and coating specialists and scaffolders and marine engineers and shipyard laborers built this technological marvel.
You know what's missing from this list?
Ass-clown late night comedians. Don't see them this list.
Today I'm excited to introduce Hark, a new artificial intelligence lab building the most advanced, personal intelligence in the world
We've been in stealth for 8 months, assembling one of the greatest AI and hardware teams on the planet
I want to explain why I started Hark and what we're focused on
I've spent the last 3 years working on the hardest AI challenge imaginable: giving AI a humanoid body. On the digital side, I've been using all the existing LLM chatbots - and I have to say, they feel incredibly dumb to me
AGI, in the limit, should feel like a sci-fi movie. It should be able to listen and talk. It should have persistent memory and be highly personalized. It should see and touch the world. But we're far from this today
We are crafting a new interface to AGI. Intelligence that lets you offload your mental workload into a system that begins to think like you and sometimes ahead of you
We started Hark with one goal: build the world's most advanced personal intelligence - paired with next-generation hardware designed to serve as a universal interface between humans and machines

Why would you want to put yourself, and your company, in a position of trying to figure out what foreign policy mission to fulfill and which to not? How are you and your engineers supposed to determine what is the right thing to do when the whole DC inter-agency process struggles with what is legal and what is ethical? Should the big 5 primes do the same with their missiles and aircraft?
Can you hear yourself speaking? It is not about guardrails, or policies, or EOs. Its about a Government contractor telling the the US Government what goals can be pursued and which ones cannot. Imagine training on a system, for a decade and when war comes, the contractor decides it doesn't like this one and pulls the tool. How does a contractor get to influence foreign policy like that. It is also dumb for the contractor - why do they want to put themselves into a position where they have to make a decision like that. Try to hold a large corporation to account for anything and see how evasive they become. How can something like they are proposing work? How can we buy anything if the terms of use are predicated on the ever-changing Board of Directors and CEO? Do they really want to be involved in a targeting process? Getting kicked out of the Pentagon and stopping this insolence is a blessing in disguise for Anthropic.
