Looks more like an excavator than a bulldozer. Also don't see any armor on/around the cab. The color of the arm suggests this is not CAT, maybe Volvo. Hopefully more info about the incident comes out.

Why does this read like an AI generated adventure story?

An old explosives engineer who was advising the saboteurs told them that punching even a small hole in a pressurised pipeline would unleash a reaction that would rip open the pipes, not unlike piercing a balloon.

This is just embarrassingly bad:

“The war would not have started without the Nord Streams,” the Colonel told his teams at a briefing. Russian gas gave Moscow economic and political influence over Ukraine’s allies. The pipelines were tentacles wrapped around Europe’s neck. Destroying them would slash Putin’s revenue and release the stranglehold. The Colonel’s words resonated. Freya hadn’t understood why Nato wasn’t helping more as Russian missiles rained down on civilian targets. Putin had tied their hands with his energy blackmail. It was time to end it.

Each team was assigned a skipper and two military officers. Freya’s team included a champion sailor from Odesa whom I’ll call the Skipper; a serviceman known as the Soldier, a wanted criminal redeemed by the war; and the Captain, a commander who was an old friend of the Colonel: a tough, reformed drinker who had found God and veganism.

But the Colonel had always believed that Freya gave them one advantage no forged document could provide. If stopped by police, he said, they should say they were making a diving-themed pornographic movie.

It's like they told the AI to right YA adventure narrative with only a few specific details to fit the cover story.

The US govt popping the AI hype bubble by banning their most promising models from most of the world is so ironic; this seems a lot like the silicon chips getting banned from China incentivizing redoubled development efforts in China's chip industry, which is quickly innovating in significant ways.

US bans high-end rope sales to China, citing security concerns. Chinese firms are now making the world's strongest ropes, will be used in a mass scale project to hang capitalists.

“Israel is the Startup Nation, while Texas is the Scale Up State, and together this partnership is another step towards making Texas the Dual-Use Capital of the World. I want to invest in Israeli entrepreneurs and the world-changing technology that they develop,” added Joshua Baer, Founder and CEO of Capital Factory.

One person was killed: Joshua Baer, 50, a leader in Texas’ technology and startup sectors. Three male teenage passengers and two pilots survived, as did a person in a truck struck by the plane as it crashed.

The business jet barreled cockeyed down the dark highway, knocking down one light pole after another, an orange glow of sparks trailing it.

From a distance, Ivan Franco thought it must be a car. But as he approached in his tow truck, he saw it was a plane — broken in half, its fuselage resting on its side, bright fire beginning to rise above. He stopped and rifled through the rescue kit his company keeps in the truck, grabbing a sledgehammer as well as three fire extinguishers, which he handed off to police officers.

“At that moment, you don’t think much about what to do, because I knew the plane could explode since it was on fire,” Franco told The Associated Press in Spanish. “My idea was to try to break the windows because the pilots hadn’t come out yet.”

Franco was one of several motorists who happened across the crash in Laredo, Texas, late Tuesday night and rushed to help — putting their own lives in danger to help those on board escape as smoke filled the cabin.

these lyrics are amazing

spoiler` On the horizon, the landscape's burning red
Bushfire---smoke in your eyes... smoke in your eyes
If you feel something, that makes you warm all over
If you got a fire and you can't put it out---got a bushfire
Rolling through a field of molten flowers
Burning in a field of molten flowers
There's a bushfire---there's a bushfire burning---yeah

Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!

My mind's been going places without me lately
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground
But I hold back! Get away from the heat
Hold back! In my field of vision
Hold back! Baby burning---fire

Fire in a field of molten flowers,
Fire in a field of molten flowers
There's a bushfire burning---yeah.
You better hold back! Hold back!

Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!

Well I'm movin' to the beat of a big bushfire
I'm dancin' to the beat of a big bushfire
And the flames are warm and getting brighter

Well everybody loves to dance around the heat and fire
Oh lightnin' strike twice
Hey everybody bask in the afterglow---Bushfire
Naked light shining over my bed, been lying here too long
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground

But I hold back---get away from the heat!
Hold back! In my field of vision
Hold back! I see smoke---smoke in your eyes

Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!
The landscape's burning, red hot! `

The opening includes a clear rhetorical construct of how the movement of commodities (freight) is privileged over the movement of people (passengers).

From political economy itself, using its own words, we have shown that the worker sinks to the level of a commodity, and moreover the most wretched commodity of all; that the misery of the worker is in inverse proportion to the power and volume of his production; that the necessary consequence of competition is the accumulation of capital in a few hands and hence the restoration of monopoly in a more terrible form; and that, finally, the distinction between capitalist and landlord, between agricultural worker and industrial worker, disappears and the whole of society must split into the two classes of property owners and propertyless workers.

Found this comment on a post about how China is "doing capitalism better then the west, socialism is achieved through capitalism, etc".

I was expecting some weird takes in the thread, but this was beyond parody.
