Are you lost? The topic of the conversation was about the Pentagon and CIA not liking breaking off with NATO and the allies, specially because they will lose intelligence from them. I suggest you go back a bit and catch up on the thread you replied to.

Well, Trump is definitively not an idealogue... He's only for himself, and he does what boosts his ego the most, or brings him some sort of financial gain. Elon... well, he's just an awkward idiot that wants to be elevated to the savior of humanity, regardless of the path it takes him into.

DANG! That's a wild fantasy you have going in there! Who said anything about assassinating? I would suggest you tone down on your rhetoric, or you might get a visit from the FBI knocking at your door. All I meant to suggest was that the Pentagon and CIA, will most likely persuade Trump not to do it.

Oh and btw, I am predicting that, the ego of both Musk and Trump is too big to fit the White House, so the bromance will end eventually, and with a lot of drama! Remember, Trump always picks the best people! LOL

He's just being a loud mouth... If the US broke with NATO, it would get a huge deficit in intelligence from all the allies, which would put the US in huge danger. Not to mention the countless strategic military bases it has around Europe. I mean... if that's what they want, sure, why not! Go ahead!

I am very critical of Israel actions and not only since 7 October 2023, but it doesn't justify violence. Two wrongs, don't make a right. I understand and empathize, but violence, is a no go for me.

That's not accurate, and a common misconception. AI doesn't "copy", it reproduces patterns. You can ofc have it mimic the pattern of an artist, like Degas, Van Gogh, etc. But AI doesn't need artist input, unless the goal is to reproduce that artist specific style, which can be more or less unique.

I know exactly how it feels. Only until recently did I learned what "Mr. Beast" was, and if I ever got videos on my feed, was simply after I searched it to learn what it was. But since I never really watched any video from him back then, YouTube quickly learn not to show me any more... LOL

I left Twitter a few years ago (almost 10 years or so) because it was draining my energy. I just joined Bluesky this week, literally just with the intent of helping it outgrow the Mean Bird site. I tried Mastodon, but I felt it was somewhat confusing. Bluesky seems better.

I can't do anything else other than SFF, and I really only need a PCIe for the GPU, so builds with ITX boards are fine with me.
I have 2, an Osmi (which was a bitch to assemble) and a Fractal Design Ridge (very easy to build). Love them both.

Humans have proved that there are no limits to Human stupidity, no matter what, we will always have enough dumb conspiracies... If we could harness the Power of Stupid, we would end the world's energy crisis, with a never ending supply of carbon free renewable energy.

Actually we don't know. There is footage that implies that the Israeli may have started the provocations. There was a video of them climbing on a building's façade, just to rip out a Palestinian flag. I urge everyone (media included) to refrain from taking sides and be more objective.

I have always been a fierce proponent that the answer to the Fermi Paradox, is the Great Filter. And we are heading in that direction at a pretty fast pace.

No, I mostly get my feed with left leaning political channels and those click baiting farm channels that use a thumbnail with a famous physicists and/or AI generated images, and with a dumb title like "We never knew this, Aliens are going to invade the Earth", or some shenanigan like that.
