Post 9/11 thread for people to post the wildest shit they remember from 01 to 06

People thought Osama had an entire mountain hollowed out that he was using as his base and that's why AQ was hard to find and that somehow a group of like 30 dudes arranged this.

I think this is a very insightful statement about what we call "AI" and will be chewing on it for a while
The fact that human language can be broken down on a mathematical level like this to such an extent, WITHOUT building a genuinely thinking mind behind it, is an immense and deeply unexpected discovery about language and cognition.
This is something that shouldn’t be possible, and now it is.

One very important thing is to keep alive and current the fact that JD Vance is just fucking weird and creepy.
