The command structure checked and double-checked and determined their information was flawed.
According to the story, there were already aircraft en route to board the ship. Do you think this is how the US military actually operates? Launches aircraft to board a Chinese ship, and only while they're en route midair do they bother to double check?
Just to elaborate on the "actual details" flags:
1) What ship? This isn't exactly sensitive information - both the US and China know it - and there were supposedly already aircraft en route to board it. Leaving that out means that nobody can check ship traffic or flight records to see if these claims are actually plausible.
2) What AI? Is this some private military tool like Maven, or is it, like, say, ChatGPT?
3) They're saying that the analyst fed intelligence related to the ship’s cargo manifest and the AI "hallucinated" that it was carrying nuclear weapons. If you're feeding it intelligence, asking for a conclusion, and it reaches a conclusion, but that conclusion is wrong, that's not a "hallucination", that's just a wrong conclusion. And exactly how difficult was this analysis? Are we talking "there's a no-smoking sign on the deck" -> "Oh, that's surely because of nukes!", or are we talking "It's setting off all our geiger counters and there's audio of the captain repeatedly talking about "Héwqì"" -> "Sounds like good evidence for nukes!"
4) Is this actually how the US military operates? They get one report, they launch an airborne boarding operation, but *then* decide to redo the analysis while the birds are en route to their target? Really?
This whole anonymously-sourced story is just throwing off red flags for me left and right. I'm sure something happened, but I really doubt it's fully matching the portrayal.
And of course, what's being described (with a serious paucity of actual details, throwing off all my Hype Story red flags) is not only not WW3, it's not the first time it's happened
You spout a ton of hatred, but why?
Don't suck a billionaire's dick and tell me it's a lollipop.
I explained what I was thinking in the prior comment.
So it sounds like you know specifically how they identified the user's CPU. What means was actually employed?
It's all been over since we got processors with microcode, which could have something like a TPM in them. I'm not saying all of them do or anything like that, only that any of them could.
If you really want a computer you can trust, you're going to have to get vintage about it.
No. Larry Ellison is a well known piece of shit. If you support him then fuck you too,b because you're also a piece of shit, just like everyone who voted for the orange child rapist.
IME it mostly works now. It's always slow and stupid and the UI is crap, but most of the features work most of the time
No, most people do not have a motherboard TPM, it's in the CPU.
Teams crashes reliably whenever I start video on my laptop. I haven't noticed this very valuable feature in any other similar program so they're clearly inferior to Teams.
Spying is a primary use of AI and it makes spying on more people more feasible.
I will point out that celebrities typically buy coastal houses on bluffs overlooking the ocean
Bluffs aren't a great place. They collapse.
Using celebrity behaviour as a gauge is also not a great idea. They do all sorts of stupid shit. When a celebrity buys a multi-million dollar house on a beach or a bluff they're thinking "this is cool, let's party" not "is this a secure asset I'll be able to pass down to my children."
That's how it normally works. The subprime mortgage thing happened because banks discovered they could make those risky loans and then sell them to other people for a good price by disguising how risky they were by packaging them up and selling them as securities.
Which is kind of ironic considering the OP's comment about banks still providing mortgages for coastal properties. Apparently they're selling them more and more to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation which... packages them up and sells them as mortgage backed securities.
It's the rapeublicans who are raping children. Literally marrying children so they can rape them.
I don't want to be young again, I just don't want to get any older.
