UPDATE from Pentagon's "bespoke AI platform" rollout.
“We are pushing all of our chips in on artificial intelligence as a fighting force. The Department is tapping into America's commercial genius, and we’re embedding generative AI into our daily battle rhythm" -- Hegseth

NVIDIA, whose stock is now a "load-bearing entity in the US stock market," "is dependent not on its customers, but on its customers’ credit ratings and financial backers." And it gets worse from there!

I love when Gundam has radios not work under Minovsky particles and therefore in order for mobile suits to communicate they have to do a gay little bro-touch to establish physical acoustic contact, something that the series remembers as often as 30% of the time

The government shutdown was a test showing where progressive forces are strong and where they’re weak.
The results are in after last night’s Democratic capitulation to the GOP: most top union leaders are failing to meet the moment.

In recent years, liberals, the Left, and the Right have all waffled on defending free speech when it doesn’t suit them.
But not Jacobin. For 15 years, we have insisted that free speech is a basic democratic principle that must be defended.
