These chemical weapons are so bad for the environment, they're even turning the missiles gay!

The US killed Iran's leadership and strengthened their resolve. Now a bunch of younger, more creative, and more passionate people have taken leadership positions. Iranian propaganda has proven more effective and internet savvy, and their military decision-making has likely improved due to destagnation. Trump literally threatening to wipe the entire civilization off the face of the earth likely pushes Iranians who are against the regime to reconsider (even if only temporarily while they deal with the bigger threat), and I couldn't say I wouldn't make the same judgment if I were in their position. What a colossal failure, but hey, at least the defense contractors are making money, right? I can't wait for the blowback from this to inspire the next round of interventions, if we're even still around by then.

People are already dooming about this before we even know what will happen next two weeks so I must say I admire #thevision it's just like I'm on Rednote bruh (high compliment)

From grok so maybe totally wrong

The inscription on the pink missile, written in Persian, reads: "در پاسخ به درخواست دخترم انقلابی"

It translates to: "In response to the request of my revolutionary daughter."

Grok is one of the worst AI's you could possibly be using. The electricity used in training it is dirtier than any other company's and it is owned by a Nazi.

I didn't use it, it was already on twitter, I just copy pasted a tweet

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

flipside: Using it costs elon money.

we should be attacking his wallet by asking Grok more banal questions.

Yeah but Apartheid Clyde's AI pumps smog and other pollutants in Memphis which affects its impoverished black residents.

Inference is dirt cheap. Short of a botnet, nothing we do will at all impact Grok's finances.

EDIT: I haven't actually done the math if it is actually dirt cheap. But assuming it isn't, then that makes it even more important not to use such a carbon-intensive AI.

Short of a botnet

Well, yeah. Or a browser extension that can be circulated.

Generating images and video are hella computationally expensive. requesting it to make millions of junk images will make a non-zero economic impact.

Its also why sora got killed off.

The carbon intensity wont make the product go away, but the economic cost will.

The carbon intensity wont make the product go away, but the economic cost will.

The product won't go away either way. I can't foresee a scenario where Musk kills Grok. Short of a catastrophic global energy crisis that makes anything AI basically impossible to sustain, but that'd never happen.

The Google Lens translator says it means

In response to the request of a revolutionary girl

I was rushing yesterday, looking closer the tweet i copied was missing some of the additional dots/markers on letters. however, functionally these sentences are the same or close enough for me
