Ok, I don't think you read what I wrote.
Everytime you read "Starlink", I want you to think about a flashing anti-collision beacon on a radio tower. Because that is what a Starlink transceivers looks like to every ELINT operator aboard, and on every nearby ship. Imagine a ship with a giant red blinky light on it, because that's what an ELINT technician would be seeing.
She would have had to have recruited every ELINT technician and supervisor aboard every vessel they sailed with to make this happen.
Ok, so this is a bit different from taping your password to your monitor. Security has a problem with you doing that, but unless they come to your workstation, they have no way of knowing that you do this.
ELINT is kinda like a security camera, but instead of seeing lights, it sees transmitters. You know the frequencies of the communications transmitters on Navy ships, let's say they are analogous to blue lights. You know the frequencies of their radars, let's say they are green. During normal operation, you're expecting to see blue and green "lights" from your ship, and the other ships in your task force.
Starlink does not operate on the same frequencies as comms and radar. The "light" it emits is bright red, kinda like the blinking lights you see on cell towers at night.
So, you're sitting at the security desk, monitoring your camera feeds... And you just don't notice a giant red blinky light, strong enough to be seen from space, on the ship next to you in formation?
You're telling me that this warship never ran any EMCON drills, shutting off all of the "lights" it knows about, and looking to see if any shipboard transmitters remain unsecured?
You're right, I would expect users to bend and break unmonitored security protocols from time to time. I expect them to write down their password. I expect them to share their password, communicating it over insecure networks that aren't monitored by the security department. But operating a Starlink transmitter is basically equivalent to having the Goodyear blimp orbit your office building, projecting your password on its side for everyone to see.
The idea that ELINT operators missed seeing it for this long doesn't seem likely.
The degree of incompetence needed for SIGINT/ELINT operations to fail to discover such a transceiver for 6+ months strains credibility.
I'm guessing this is a ruse to convince adversaries that the Navy can't detect Starlink transceivers even when they are aboard their own ships. This is much more likely to be disinformation intended to drive adversaries to use Starlink than it is to be a legitimate failure of intelligence gathering.
Don't try sucking up to me now.
When it was time to decide whether to order DoorDash or go to the grocery store, you had enough fucks to get out the door. But when it comes time to put the cart back, you're suddenly at bingo fucks and need to immediately RTB?
May all your shits be runny.
Paradoxically, they would probably do better if the AI hallucinated more. When you realize your tutor is capable of making mistakes, you can't just blindly follow their process; you have to analyze and verify their work, which forces a more complete understanding of the concept, and some insight into what errors can occur and how they might affect outcomes.
They are paraphrasing Thomas Paine:
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
You can't purchase a belief. You can only purchase a claim. They can't buy their kid's sexuality, but you don't have to be straight to claim heterosexuality.
Neither of the two acts is a "wrong" in any legal sense, so any concept of "fraud" is off the table. There is no established set of relevant shared standards or expectations adopted by the affected individuals, so ethicality is also off the table. That just leaves morality to determine right from wrong, and morality is personally subjective: it's only a moral "wrong" if the individual perceives it to be a wrong.
Aside from situations where legally or ethically compelled to speak the truth, I think that deceiving bigots is a moral imperative. They should be lied to everywhere it is legal and ethical to lie to them.
They want to pay me to lie to them? That's a win for everyone involved.
