Starship Flight Test 13 filmed by me at 600fps. Hit me up if you also need your giant rocket filmed up close in slow motion 😉

@vlad_mihalcea @EarekaDK I think Henrik takes issue the statement that LLMs are better overall.

A hard drive is better at retaining memory than any human alive, but it isn't more intelligent than the human brain, same with LLMs, good at recollection and pattern recognition, not understanding/intuition

@nikitabier @Sailaff @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX How do you differentiate between international hijacking and two people independently finding the source content and posting it? Large accounts likely have workflows or algorithms set up on social media to detect trending videos, how to rule out source overlap between accounts?

@blueknight0055 @CSI_Starbase My interpretation of what Zack said was if you're going to respond with a loaded statement like "you're reading the wrong news", follow it up with a breakdown of what was wrong and why, providing sources.

Because otherwise it's just "trust me bro"

[Don Isiko @Isiko_DK]

@blueknight0055 @CSI_Starbase Lol, he was talking about a Chinese military purge, why are you mentioning UCMJ?

It was Chinese military readiness he was referring to

@theo @mosesxu @Linahuaa I'm not convinced, looked at how it found it, it basically had a human point at the specific location and asked it to find bugs, most of which were unusable and the one that was found, the humans were more or less aware of the issue in the first place

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

I am NOT going to show you a top view of Fort Tolucco on the east coast of Ternate in Indonesia.
Come on, we're grown-ups, I refuse.
And I'm sure you won't look it up, we're just going to move on, being all proper and mature.

AI robot replacing humans in a most dangerous workplace:

In Sweden, the label 'indigenous' does not get applied to the Swedes, whose ancestors have been in Sweden for well over 10,000 years and whose genetic profile stabilized around 4000 years ago, but it is applied to the Saami, whose presence and emergence in northern Sweden follows a similar timeline.

The only thing "indigenous" means in practice is "conquered technologically primitive client culture of the left-globalist managerial state used as a mascot for moral warfare against the locally dominant culture".

@fakehistoryhunt @MarkHarnes @elonmusk @waitbutwhy I see your point, I guess I filled in the gaps a little when I read too "small to ride" (for Calvary warfare as we've come to know it) and Grok seemed to imply the same to me with "oversimplification". But you're right if he literally meant they couldn't ride them at all then 🤭

[Don Isiko @Isiko_DK]

@aaronburnett My main issue is the big bet that all future forms of AI will operate the same way as existing models... everything I've seen to date has shown diminishing returns vs scale.

They're all gambling on reaching escape velocity (AI self-improvement) before the economy crashes.

[Don Isiko @Isiko_DK]

@fakehistoryhunt @elonmusk @waitbutwhy Grok says he has a point 🤣 https://t.co/PbbOqcMoMw

They were rideable but chariots were better?

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. Let’s have a look at seven points:

1. The U.S. needs Greenland for its own defense - Golden Dome, radars, basing.

▶️ The United States can do virtually anything it'd like in Greenland, security-wise, without taking possession of it. The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, which was renewed in 2004, allows the United States to build bases there, station troops, and more.

2. Greenland is about to fall into the hands of Russia and China, and the U.S. can’t let that happen.

▶️ The U.S. once had 10,000 U.S. troops in Greenland; now there are around 200. If there is an imminent threat of Chinese or Russian takeover (there isn’t), perhaps start by increasing that number?

3. Russian and Chinese ships are swarming Greenland and the Danes can’t fend them off.

▶️ If Russian and Chinese ships are really menacing the island, the U.S. Navy could sail around it right now en masse. It isn’t.

4. The U.S. needs to own Greenland because "you don't defend leases." Even if Denmark allows full access, there’s a difference between owning and renting.

▶️ This is the No One Washes a Rental Car theory of international relations. In reality, the United States is committed to defending many allies whose territory it does not own. Trump himself defended Israel just last year. The whole point of alliances is mutual defense of one another's territory. That doesn't require seizing it. 

5. The Danes are bad allies, so they should hand over Greenland.

▶️ Denmark has been a model ally. Not so long ago, Danes fought for America’s defense rather than the other way around. Among 40-plus allies and partners in Afghanistan, Denmark lost the most soldiers as a percentage of its population. Our allies defended the U.S., which, by the way, none of them owns.

6. This is the new Manifest Destiny. We’re an expansionist, frontier people. Greenland should, one way or the other, join the ever-growing Republic.

▶️ The post-1945 order is predicated a prohibition against conquest. Countries don’t acquire the territory of another without their consent. Iraq doesn’t get Kuwait, Russia can’t have Ukraine, Canada won’t be the 51st state, and the U.S. doesn’t compel Greenland to join. We’ve seen a world before in which conquest abounds. It’s the law of the jungle.

7. This isn’t real, just some fun administration trolling of the ever-nervous Europeans.

▶️ It is at a minimum a major distraction from real issues the transatlantic allies should focus on: Russia, Ukraine, Iran, China. Prodding allies to distrust our word and intentions does not amount to good policy.

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. The sooner this manufactured crisis fades, the better.

The way I see it, officers surround the vehicle, she panics and tries to escape

Officer thinks she's trying to hit him and shoots her.

I don't see evidence of clear intent to hit or kill the officer.

Both sides contribute to this disaster

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: CNN has obtained a new angle of the incident involving Renee Good in Minneapolis, shows Good's vehicle sitting sideways in the street for three minutes before shots were fired.

The footage shows a person exiting the car on the passenger side.

"[Video] shows Renee Good's maroon Honda Pilot entering from the right there. Then, 20 seconds later, someone gets out on the passenger side."

"We don't know who or why this person leaves the car. We then see her turn and pull perpendicular across the street, seeming to block the way."

@ModdedQuad Isn't blindsight an input device and currently being trialled? Or were you referring to more advanced applications like complete restoration of vision or the BCI inputting words?
