They really made a sci-fi themed webdesign for this. Can't say that i don't like it.

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

Use that internet thing to pop them on a 'website' and we can all take a look, no?

I'm not even being dense. What's the best non sign up privacy focused photo hosting site? I'm not using Flickr lol

This one is a favorite among Mongolian basket weavers: https://catbox.moe/

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'll throw 'second order AI slop' into the ring.

Summary: no proof of aliens.

If you read carefully, only “inconclusive” reports have been released. I guess that’s what “Unexplained Areal Phenomena” means.

That's a good point, they should also release all the reports that have been conclusively shown to have an ordinary explanation.

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.

Hard disagree. A government releasing files with some probabilistic (unreliable) labeling would be pretty terrible.

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.

The US Department of Defense has published a CSV dataset containing UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) observation records. It appears to include structured entries that can be used for independent analysis and research. Dataset: https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-csv.c...

I'm pretty sure they renamed it the departement of war, for some reason

Such people already know it's not aliens, though.

you mean like Harvard professors claiming that a rock from interstellar space is a probe from an intelligent society?

There are Harvard professors who believe in the supernatural, I'm sure.
