The use of "a" instead of "the" pilot suggests more than 1 personnel on the plane, considering F15's carry 2 people (unless it's some magical F15 I haven't heard of), it means there's still 1 guy missing out there.
Or he (I assume) could also have been found dead, and is not being mentioned before his family is notified of the sacrifice Donald Trump made of his life.
One is hacked by a Russian hacker group based in St. Petersburg, the other is hacked by a Chinese hacker group, and the third instance was actually BackOrifice but it couldn't get enough resources to run because of the other two.
Isn't it capitalism? Adobe fucks you, Microsoft will "upgrade" your Office^W Copilot 365 license to 25-seats(1) if you don't notice, Tesla promises self-driving but drives you into the back of the trucks (what, you didn't read the disclaimer?), even the "leader of the free world" is now a crypto-huckster selling you bibles with his name on it... and is killing civilians in the Middle East and making profit by saying "Oh I'll stop soon!".
at least the 3-card Monty guy is dealing with you one on one. These companies hire lobbyist to make the illegal, immoral sh*t legal. Easy to keep winning the game when you write the rules.
It has the benefit that I now spend less time reading random articles, you read one sentence, feel it's AI and just skim through it.
Mamy Instagram videos now have creator-added LLM description of what's happening in the video and some bullshit ending like "This video shows why it's important to always remain vigilant when driving".. fuxxckkk off with the faux philosophy!
The strange stuff about the whole scam (pushing the world towards WW3 to make a few bucks) is that the markets are still buying the shit that comes out of Trump's orifices. Why does it still go up when he lies about the end of the war coming soon? Is it because the market participants think "Oh, everyone else will do X, so I better do that too!"?
It's not like bonds/currencies, metals/commodities, or real estate have intrinsic value that make them productive assets in an economic depression.
And big picture, if you look at Trumpism as a gloves-off corpo attack on the Constitutional US government, then equities look like a safe haven regardless of their diminished growth prospects - especially as Trump is itching to get his grubby hands onto the controls of the money printing press (the next big step of neutering the power of USG over corpos).
It feels like we're facing a pan-asset "inflation" type effect as an outcome of the everything bubble, where every non-financial thing is about to get a lot more expensive and the goal is hedging to preserve the paper "wealth" you have accumulated.
(having written that last part out, it would follow that labor is about to get more bargaining power in comparison. which is so decidedly against the apparent trend that I'm back to scratching my head)
Oh well, when the most powerful people on the planet manage to enshittify it enough, we'll be freed from AI...
Or maybe there'll be the elite enjoying the world, while the rest of us have to work manual labor. But at least it'll be AI systems ensuring our compliance!
