Incidentally, the Master System (1985) is now as old as the end of World War II (1945) was when the Master System was released. Just a little bonus for you there. 😅

JCS came out with their first update an hour after the launch, sort of longer than usual, saying was 1 missile but still without IDing it and keeping the label "unidentified ballistic missile." May point to something novel or requiring deeper analysis, like involving HGV or MIRV.

JCS now says one SRBM flew 700km from Taegwan, Japan says "over" 450km. Taegwan to Busan port where the US aircraft carrier docked this week is ~665km. But still possible ROK distance is wrong and NK set the test up as a demo/protest with a distance suggestive of a capability to strike the carrier.

They've done this a lot, one I can think of seemingly targeting the distance to US visiting assets in Busan was July 2023 www.nknews.org/2023/07/nort...

..at Ryongaksan that seemed to get involved in TEL assembly urgently, before the complex was finished (still unfinished now, see here www.nknews.org/pro/north-ko...). The green roof one above measures about 190 by 55m

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so
