To honest, I've no sympathy to give here. Most people outside the #US find the "Thank you for service" as utter bullshit and hypocritical. No one outside the US thanks them for murdering their children, stealing their resources, and destroying their infrastructure. So if they're eating rations, smelling like shit, and literally jumping off the hulk, that's the price they pay for being the ultimate stoogies. It's a first world crisis.

US escalates naval blockade on Iran: 62 vessels redirected, 3 disabled, 2 boarded
As of Aug. 14, CENTCOM forces have redirected 62 commercial vessels, disabled 3 and boarded 2 to ensure compliance with the blockade against Iran.
Observers can compare the quality & depth of the research & come to their own conclusions. That’s the beauty of America’s large & diverse community of think tanks.
According to the University of Pennsylvania’s last count, in 2020, the #US had 2,203 think tanks, nearly 800 more than any other country—about 4% of the world’s people but about 20% of its think tanks. More than 90% were headquartered outside DC. Massachusetts was the leader with 168 think tanks. That’s more than Italy or Japan.

Why anyone in the #military would vote for Trump or any of his proxies is beyond me.
Lawmakers demand answers about #USSAbrahamLincoln conditions as reports emerge of sailors attempting to jump overboard due to deteriorating #LivingConditions & worsening #MentalHealth. The carrier, deployed for over 250 days without a port call, faces concerns about shortages of supplies, water contamination, & mail system disruptions.

"As the pioneering cybernetician Stafford Beer famously wrote, "the purpose of a system is what it does." If your bureaucracy is more concerned with fighting fraud than delivering service, then it isn't a service delivery system at all – it's a service denial system.

Using language that the pro-Trump Maga movement has sought to appropriate, a funding notice identifies a goal of fostering a “national conversation” about “shared civilizational values” underpinning US-UK ties. Priority will go to applicants aiming to celebrate “freedom of speech” and “limited government”.

*Beteiligung der #US-Regierung an #OpenAI*

Über die angedachte Beteiligung der #US-Regierung an US-Frontier-Model-Firmen wie #OpenAI hatte ich unlängst einen Podcast gehört, finde ihn jedoch nicht mehr. Mein take-away war, dass es dann Interessenskonflikte bezüglich deren Regulierung geben könnte. Ich sehe das gerade unter einer korrupten Trump-Regierung als große Gefahr.
Ob #BernieSanders' radikalerer Vorschlag von 50% Steuern besser wäre, müsste man mal tiefer analysieren1)

"Employees who voiced honest, informed objections to AI in the workplace were passed over for promotions or targeted for layoffs.
This has created a situation in which *everyone* - "boards, executives, employees, vendors, consultants" - has a strong incentive to lie about how much AI is delivering for their companies."
