Oh wow did not realize they changed the web site to war too. Wonder how many million they spent on that name change. Just such a bad look for the country

Why would it cost millions? I've switched domains for just a couple bucks before. 1. Have both domains point to the same IP address. 2. Make sure both domains are working and DNS has fully propagated. 3. Make your old domain a 301 redirect. 4. Do a couple of find and replaces in your codebase and ship it out.

The real cost is in changing documents, contracts and other stuff. I bet that will cost some serious money.

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.

Several of these look like balloons and birds. Two of them have already leaked before. Both of those are missiles being viewed with an infrared camera. One of them shows a missile passing through the field of view rapidly with a motion blur streak behind it. The other shows a missile performing maneuvers and a camera artifact showing a star-like diffraction+aperture artifact around the bright IR light source. None of…

The star one kind of reminds me of the kill vehicle: https://youtu.be/KBMU6l6GsdM?si=O1jl4aQfaX_POY4T

I was under the impression that the DoD was not a big fan of Claude.. Codex perhaps?

>> changes the name from DoD to DoW

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.

Pretty cool to dig in but distraction for something else?

Are you saying that if you were to dig in to this, you would forget about other things?

These distraction comments always sound a little condescending to me. They are all over Reddit and it's a bit of a bummer to see it taking off here.

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.

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.

I feel like this is a symptom of AI psychosis
