AI hallucinated a report that a Chinese ship was transporting nuclear material to Iran and the US military scrambled and nearly boarded it. We were apparently minutes away from a major war because of an AI hallucination. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

Exclusive: US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report, sources say | CNN Politics
The episode shows the risks of using this new, relatively poorly understood technology in the middle of the Iran war

I think AI has already exceeded the intelligence of the type of person that believes AGI is imminent, which is why they believe AGI is imminent.

Not that I need to be theorizing PR strategies for getting away with cowardice, I'm just stunned how bad that statement was. That's where it went from disappointing to insulting.

the written record of antiquity, for reasons I hope are obvious, over represents the blinkered moral perspectives of that day's most powerful people. you should take the care with generalizing from their opinions that you'd want a foreigner to take if a tech CEO was asked about your country's morals

Tuesday morning, U.S. forces radioed a message to ships gathered near the waterway: "The southern route of the strait remains open." Seafarers, jaded by deadly attacks on vessels in recent days, were skeptical. “F— off,” one sailor is heard responding via his ship’s radio.

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

Hey fun fact, nobody forced you to buy a professional basketball team.
The new owner of the Trail Blazers on Wednesday showed no interest in putting money toward the Moda Center’s expected $600 million makeover, saying that simply keeping the NBA franchise in Portland was enough of a financial sacrifice.

“It feels like we’re making a pretty big investment by staying here,” Tom Dundon said during a brief appearance at the annual meeting of the Portland Metro Chamber, which the business group held at the aging city-owned arena.

because the discrepancy between the president's lies are visually obvious and undeniable. at the same time the whole issue is petty enough that people aren't scared to confront the administration on the lie. it's so absurd that their defensive lashing out is sad, not frightening.
