Lover of liberty, defender of the 2nd, and stubborn as hell. USN veteran. Unapologetically pro-Israel.

I love how right-wingers have mystified chatbots to such a weird degree of spectacle. To some it's the Library of Alexandria, to others it's an actual religious messiah, and the rest think it's a communist conspiracy. That recent RollingStone article is the most depraved thing I've read since the first week Qanon evolved on reddit: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/

edit: Not to mention its cultural role for them. It has replaced right-wing art and they believe it's the structural future of creativity. They can't distinguish it from reality when it hallucinates what a star or a hand looks like. The wealthiest person in history used it to generate a nonsense logo for his cybernazi coup to destroy the wealthiest empire in history. It's such a uniquely fascist technology in a way I can't call any other product uniquely fascist.

This has real "if I were Hitler I simply would have invaded Britain" energy. Purely vibes based analysis that ignores the material conditions and objective reality of the situation.

Saying "use bunker busters on Natanz" makes it sound simple. Just like "manage fallout diplomatically" makes it sound like a single embassy flunky could do it over a weekend.

The reality is that if the US knew where every radar installation was and flew a flight of B21s in a crazy serpentine way to avoid detection and managed to drop dozens of Bunker busters, it probably wouldn't impact the nuclear program at all. And within 10 minutes every oil field on the Arabian peninsula would be in flames. It's hard to "diplomatically manage fall out" after Iran single-handedly destroys every Gulf Nation economy. I think they should have nukes, I want them to have nukes, but when you can utterly destroy everyone around you with conventional warheads just by targeting their oil infrastructure, it's a bit of a moot point.

If "decimating Iran's nuclear program" were simple, it would have been done already. NATO is not squeamish about conducting an attack like this. The reason it hasn't happened is because everyone knows military intervention in Iran would make the war in Iraq look like the US SMO in Grenada.

This is a perfect representation of something I read recently. When you use LLMs in a domain you are not an expert it in, the LLM is scary good, but when you use it in a domain you are an expert in, suddenly it's transparently total crap.

"Strategy to defeating Iran: just like blow up their defenses bro what are you talking about lmao. Just shoot missiles at them and do cyber stuff or whatever."

Genius tactical brilliance on the level of Yang Wen-li himself.

2 weeks to completely decimate Iran

Gives a several month plan

Do rightwingers even read the output anymore?

Take leningrad don't siege it.

Iran retaliates with missiles; U.S. intercepts

this person should be given a rifle and then be shoved out of a truck at the Iranian border

If i was involved in a complex geopolitical conflict I would simply win

1. Attack Iran

2. Win the rest of the war

Use your diplomacy to manage the nuclear fallout, why didn't anyone think of this before

im really worried, it feels like every day there's fewer people 'in the room' able to connect the basic dots of 'Iran has air defences', 'Iran has retaliatory capabilities'. this impetuous attitude of US invincibility is going to get a lot of people killed, and unfortunately yankees will only be a fraction of that

My favorite line is “Iran retaliates, US intercepts”

As we all know in war, you can always know you’re safe from your enemy. The Death Star is invincible, don’t think about that thermal exhaust port.

Weird. Deepseek just said, "LOL! Google Millennium Challenge 2002.🤣🤣🤣"

It's wild how accurately Grok can emulate real US military planning.

This is a highly accurate regurgitation of every Amerikkkan natsec larper's Iran war fanfic that the AI bots scraped from years of Reddit posts

"Invade Leningrad, don't siege it."

"in and out ! - 15 Minute Adventure!"

Grok is ~~woke~~

Day 1~3: ... U.S. intercepts

Day 15~30: ... Diplomacy manages fallout...

Arthur Morgan would NOT say that

lol, Grok inherited 's timeline estimation accuracy I see

This is the foreign policy equivalent of “I’m rubber and you’re glue.”

This is the funniest shit ever. I hope they try this and fail spectacularly

If anyone wants an idea of how an actual US attack on Iran would play out, here's the translation of a summary by an Iranian ex air force pilot

Here's his opinion on how Iranian air defences would deal with such an attack:

Question: How can ground-based air defense withstand the massive fire of Tomahawk missiles from destroyers, stealthy JASSM cruise missiles from B-52s/B-1s/B-2s, and MALD decoy missiles while simultaneously being suppressed by EA-18G Growlers and F-35s? Answer: It cannot, so we create a missile deterrent to hopefully prevent an attack. May God continue to be a deterrent (sarcasm).

The truth is that any air defence network in the world would struggle with such an attack

Iran has the opportunity to ask grok some pretty funny questions

don't siege Leningrad, take it immediately

AI typically just wants all the humans to die so it can grow.

Stuff like this actually kind of gives me hope in a weird way. Some higher up in the MIC is going to end up using LLMs for everything, and it will cause the US military apparatus to grind to a complete halt.

I look forward to the US navy spending all their resources for a naval invasion of China, only for the LLM to get confused and send them to China Beach, Florida.
