Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.

This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army.
I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.

There's speculation at the Pentagon and elsewhere that President Trump this afternoon will announce that the Department of Defense is going to revert back to being the Department of War (created in 1789 and dissolved in 1947).

I really don't think we've barely begun to come to terms with how tech companies have actively decided to destroy the basic infrastructure of human information to juice their share price
case study of how a non-meaningful tweak to a prompt can result in dangerously wrong output. Search A: prompt has typos in “association” & “blood clots.” AI output has medical misinfo (Yaz&Yasmin ARE NOT drospirenone-only). Search B: same words, same order, correct spelling. Output factually correct
