The War Department has unlimited access to LLMs and compute, but these are delivered as unlabeled files that one must download individually.

That's ridiculous.

This administration is so hilarious. Every day looks like an episode from The Office

Pretty cool to dig in but distraction for something else?

Everything is a distraction from the fact that our politicians are all corrupt millionaires and we're effectively a country run by an oligarchy. Literally everything else is a distraction from this, to keep the machine going as long as possible, before a revolution takes place (which might happen without our lifetime, if we look at recent events).

If the full extent of the distraction is a 3 minute segment on cable news (and this HN submission), this is a complete failure of a distraction attempt. I can't tell if comments like this are serious or rage bait.

Something can be a bad distraction. The fact that they’re planning on releasing these at a drip over the coming weeks/months certainly builds a case that this is meant to be yet another distraction. And you can bet this administration is desperate for anything that turns people’s attention away from Iran.
