News:

Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.

'Tis the first day the Season of Discord in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192.

Not wishing to jeopardize the treasured nonprophet status of our religious disorganization, I decline to prophesize that the Cup of the Season Discord will surely runneth over this year.

Hail Eris!

Hail Discordia!

My grandmother said that despite the claims of the ancients, the melancholic humour was just gas, and we should fart our sadness away.

As per this article:

"There are some things perhaps we might not want artificial intelligence to handle, at least for the time being. (Emphasis mine) When leading chatbots were put through war-game simulations, they opted for nuclear signaling or escalation in 95% of cases.

Kenneth Payne, a professor of strategy from King's College London, put three of the most sophisticated large language models (GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 3 Flash) into a simulated nuclear crisis to see if they would keep the peace or start a war. While previous research has theorized what AI would do in such high-stakes situations, actual experimental data was lacking."

Tick tock, Civilization.

The POSOTUS is not happy about this:


As per this article:

"OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY. In the blink of an eye, it went viral, this new name — operation Epstein fury — and reportedly Trump- is mad, oh yes, he is spitting fury — and it's directed squarely at the hapless Hegseth who chose this name and fucked up bigly. Trump CANNOT GET AWAY from Epstein, even with starting a disastrous and fake war."

And, the new name is just so appropriate!
