I love how the article acts surprised that another cronies company got an amazing contract with this administration.

That was only so Hegseth had some visual stimulation to whack off to. Yes, I truly believe that.

Turns out that Skynet was a second rate AI powered by OpenAI ChatGpt.

This US admin has proven time and again that they do not care about their people or their country, at all. Anybody surprised that they also don't care about the planet, and all people?

We must continue to build our defences against US aggression.

They've already threatened to invade our allies on multiple occasions recently, and that's on top of the deeply evil things they're already doing, both to their own people and to others around the world.

We must take them seriously and protect ourselves.

They will come for us once they're done crushing their own citizens, and once they're finished securing their control over the global strategic and industrial resources needed for their future peer wars of domination against enemies and former allies.

It's sad, I know, but it's the reality we live in now. We mustn't live in denial just because the future is scary. They will continue to do evil things like this, and eventually come for us.

One potential complication in deeper Maven adoption is the software’s use of the Anthropic-made Claude AI tool, Reuters previously reported. Anthropic was recently deemed a ​supply chain risk by the Pentagon, amid a months-long spat over safety guardrails surrounding the AI.

So how is that meant to work? Is the Pentagon now a supply chain risk to itself?
