I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the guy who made his campaing on ending wars the first thing he does after being elected changes the name from DoD to DoW and starts new wars.
But he didn't. That requires congressional action. The DoW is just a "secondary" name attached via executive order. Contracts still say DOD. The only reason people are saying "DoW" it is to appease certain forceful personalities.
Yes, surprising in a "I can't believe this is happening" way, not in a "this was unexpected" way. He made his campaign on ending everything. Diving headfirst into the first conflict he could with 0 understanding is the most expected thing that could've happened.
Americans consistently vote for less war and they consistently get more war. If they voted for more war I’m pretty sure they would still get more war. I think blaming the American public for these wars is a deflection from the actual mechanisms that instigate them. We are more governed by blackmail than we are by voters.
I do wish there was even more resistance though, war has been effectively pitched as costless or even as a boon. Perhaps if this war bites there will be more resistance to future wars. At the very least the Iran war being such a disaster may have saved us from a more costly war with China - which the US was and in some ways still is gearing up for.
> I think blaming the American public for these wars is a deflection
Where did I do that? There's no one to vote for that doesn't wage war.
But to say voting for Trump was voting for less war is plain ridiculous. You'd have to ignore his entire career. He is famously fickle, is not shy about lying, and abandons friends at the soonest opportunity. A rational person hearing him say "I will end the Ukraine war on day 1" would understand he's saying whatever he thinks sounds good.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the guy was well known for being a liar and a charlatan and yet he was apparently the only politician Americans took implicitly at their word.
Like you'd think Americans would have learned after "read my lips, no new taxes" even if they somehow memory-holed Trump's entire first administration. But I guess not.
It is ridiculously hard to understand. I don't get it either. There's something about not just knowing they're a liar but constantly being told that? Trump benefits a great deal from friendly mass media.
Yes, i don't know why, but i can literally smell that its generated, but it doesn't matter.
Is there actually a term for every discussion about something code related turning into a debate about LLMs, just increasing the signal to noise ratio on the topic at hand?
I was under the impression that the DoD was not a big fan of Claude.. Codex perhaps?

Most mass media is conservative owned. It follows that they'll be friendly to conservative politicians.

I'll throw 'second order AI slop' into the ring.
I feel like this is a symptom of AI psychosis
It has that ai je ne sais quoi

Having standards? I'm an American taxpayer, this slop is being published on my dime.
Sounds like incredible progress if a middle schooler can do what took a team of professionals (or one focused adult nerd) less than two decades ago
A bunch of middle/high schoolers could probably build something that looks like a bridge.
I don't know if I'd want to drive on it.
Do I actually have to tell you that a metaphor comparing between a govt website about aliens and physical infrastructure doesn’t hold?
You'd hope so, but no, the website is ugly and immediately reeks of LLM boilerplate.
I miss the days when 18F made bespoke sites from scratch.
