it’s about NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) and some secret sauce they don’t want to talk about. NMP is used in petroleum industry for separation of olefins and BTX (both important chemical intermediates) and also it’s a solvent that can dissolve about everything, so it’s used in production of plastics, including kevlar and plastic parts of lithium batteries, and also explosives

altman, srinivasan, raghavan, ellison, andeerssen, all these musk’s underlings; yarvin, and even yudkovsky would probably get a spot somewhere

idk if one deck would fit all of them, i mean these that hit news at this point

i would also put zucc as #2

what can i say except

Keeping consumers alive as a class is indirectly encouraged in capitalism.

but that won’t show in results for next quarter, so they don’t care

what can i say except to quote david gerard:

AI alignment is literally a bunch of amateur philosophers telling each other scary stories about The Terminator around a campfire

that’s edited photo, original is just as derpy. it’s altman and nadella

btw this is very much a “heartwarming - the worst people you know are fighting” sitution

You know, i wondered how come that in modern, tech literate, western allied country presidency was captured by a cult. (South Korea) i don’t wonder about that anymore

same there

please drink verification can

when we’ll find out that it’s a russian cutout?

lol they wanted to grow algae or bacteria for food while their living quarters were slightly dirtier than average frat house. that would go well

how green of them

Well now I am screaming about this. I am trying very, very hard to do it in a way that you won’t immediately dismiss - Audere

I’m not gonna read that - EY

also lol the amount of rat sanewashing

both waste energy and silicon even if nobody asked

ai is pushed by the same people as crypto, uses the same resources as crypto, captures attention of the same libertarian-brained vcs wanting to build their neofeudal empires, gives result equally as useless, unwanted and aggressively pushed by people that bought into it, not to mention crimes against environment, logic, abuse of workforce or general waste of everyone’s time and attention. but nOo iTs CoMpLeTeLy dIfFeReNt tHiS tImE

mods, offer him a battle he has no chance of winning

wait, 2021 was when crypto was still a thing vcs poured money into, so that might be yet another case of crypto to ai pivot

this is all year+ old info

it’s quite big, expensive, and not readily sourced, so when it’s used, it’s better that it’s really worth it. i don’t think cessnas need starlink, it would be worth it if it’s needed, but i think they might be using inertial + gnss. i heard that some drones had russian sim cards recovered so apparently sometimes gsm is used too. internet connection increases microwave signature greatly, and i’m not sure when it’s worth it, other than in cases where video feed is transmitted back and drones are guided manually, but that’s sea drones only. cessnas targeting refineries can work fine with gnss (+ maybe some crude tercom?) because refinery won’t run away

not by any fucking stretch “all drones” operate on starlink, these small surveillance and fpv antitank drones are controlled directly by operator. couple of times starlink terminals were spotted on boat drones on black sea, but far from always. there was an incident where musk personally turned off starlink over black sea, when ukrainian sea drones were on the way to destroy ships in port of sevastopol. these drones drifted off uselessly, which gave russians warning, pushed dod to get exclusive use of some part of starlink, and pushed ukrainians to develop their own alternatives. nowadays ukrainians use their own communications. why are you talking about things you clearly have no fucking clue about?
