@DeryaTR_ @OpenAI Much as I would love this to be true, I think it unlikely that it will lead directly to a cure for cancer, or enormous advances in "materials research, energy production and drug discovery." See "fallacy of composition."

@nicksortor Wow, they blew up a balloon.

@CraigAccused @iontecs_pemf @War_Radar2 Taking out the HMS Prince of Wales or Queen Elizabeth Strike Groups would not be an easy or quick affair, especially not if they're backed by other European NATO naval power. The US would almost certainly win, but it would incur devastating losses itself to get there.

@rosscoulthart @AstronomyMag Meanwhile, Dan Farah hit the mainstream last night for the opening 15 minutes of 'Real Time with Bill Maher' (HBO). This ought to attract a lot of mainstream curiosity...

@akooman Not gonna happen.

@Tablesalt13 This will go precisely...nowhere.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@Tablesalt13 There is literally no evidence for any of these policy assertions. You're passing off speculation as fact.

@rosscoulthart So, two problems: 1) No thus far fully corroborated chain of custody for the video; 2) The objects could be anything—even if it's an inbound Hellfire missile, the target could still be anything; it doesn't have to be NHI. 🤷

@sommecourt Robert Capa was an extraordinary visual storyteller. One of the great PJs of the 20th century.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@RMBee Great points, Rob. None of this seems thought through. The US film industry runs a trade surplus and is a top export. A 100% tariff on foreign production could spark retaliation, damaging the economy and America's global cultural influence.

@rinsana @murphymike Sora is a joke.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@murphymike Chinese ticket sales for American films are actually a very small percentage of total box office revenue.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@gaysfortrump @JustineBateman Yes.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@donny3452 @JustineBateman No.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@JustineBateman This is a race to the bottom and they will fail spectacularly. In addition to all the systemic technical problems that remain unresolved with GenAI (e.g. hallucinations, lack of accurate repeatability, etc.), audience acceptance will crater.

@DebbieE46116279 @RapidResponse47 @WhiteHouse @POTUS So you're asking to be purged from your own country then. Okey-dokey.

[Robert Falconer @falconer_comm]

@Psynsei How'd that work out for you? #spanked

@rosscoulthart @faa Shouldn't be too hard to get answers if Elon and his 23-year-old acolytes are able to just waltz into the Dept. of Energy and get access to everything they want >

@TheodorSidh @JustinTrudeau Maybe read how Canada's political system works before beaking off.

@Big_Fuzzy_Dice @JustinTrudeau Go capitulate somewhere else, Judas.
