Pentagon is already using Grok AI to launch missiles at girl's school in Minab that killed 120 school girls and 50 school staff

it is as unconvential as it can be already

    The school wasn't Grok, as I understand it it was bad data in Maven.

      it wasn't just "bad data", it was data and somebody put that data in the targeting system

      these people have names and motivations to do what they did

      It was the fact that Hegseth disbanded the team that used to ensure civilian targets are not hit. He was proud about it, see, ensuring civilians are not hit is woke waste of money. Literally.

      Then school gets hit and it is "bad data" as if there was no one responsible for checking the data.

      Yeah sure it was bad data, it’s great when you can blame a database or AI for crimes against humanity isn’t it? /s

      And in a couple of decades this stuff gets declassified and everyone will say „oh no how atrocious“, but those responsible will most likely be dead by then.

I've got an idea, very creative & unconventional:

You know how we tried to defeat Vietnam militarily and it was a disaster with all sorts of US service members lives lost, their families destroyed and lots of civilians killed? And then we lost anyway? And then after we stopped and, after a while, we started trading peacefully with them? And then how now they are pretty neutral-to-friendly towards us?

We could try that.

    We won't try that until people who remember and are still angry about The Hostage Crisis (1979-80) die off, or at least aren't in positions of influence.

    Nah, better yet, send J.D.Vance and one or more of Trump's spawn over to negotiate with them, along with a collection of Trumps speeches to play to them. If that isn't punishment I don't know what is.

    Better yet, the Viets became communist in name only and actually quite capitalist. Moreover, they don't like the Chinese in the north, their former ally in the war.

    Wouldn't it be great if Iran becomes our friend and trade partner in two decades?

    • bijowo1676 3 days ago

      It would be actually be smart and net positive for Americans, if Iran became America's "greatest ally" in the region, instead of the other country.

If this is what a pro-life government looks like, Americans only care about “the sanctity of life” when it involves shaming women.

It smells desperation. Give up and accept your failure already.
