But just because the fighting has stopped, the Strait of Hormuz is once again open, and America\u2019s coffers are <\/span><span>down $113 billion<\/span><span> (<\/span><span>plus $300 billion<\/span><span> in restitutions to come), it doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re yet done being humiliated or shocked by this historic blunder. It may take months or years for the full ramifications of this globally destabilizing act of imperialism to be fully felt and analyzed. New tidbits of information will continue to trickle out in the days to come, painting a clearer picture of the minds and decisions behind this costly snafu.<\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span>The latest shocking morsel about the war comes to us from a sworn <\/span><span> by the Pentagon\u2019s AI chief, Cameron Stanley, as reported in <\/span><span>The Independent<\/span><span>, and the revelation paints a concerning picture about the future of culpability with regard to state-sponsored violence.<\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span>In evidence submitted to defend Elon Musk against a lawsuit claiming xAI data centers have been <\/span><span>harming poor, Black communities<\/span><span> with their emissions, Stanley defended the continued operation of the polluting centers as \u201ca matter of paramount national security.\u201d His statement attempts to justify this claim by divulging that the perennially controversial chatbot\u2014best known for referring to itself as \u201c<\/span><span>MechaHitler<\/span><span>\u201d and being re-programmed to <\/span><span>sycophantically flatter Elon<\/span><span>\u2014was used during the recent attacks on Iran to fire more than \u201c2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours.\u201d<\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span>While this administration\u2019s unwavering support for the AI industry in spite of an American population that <\/span><span>increasingly loathes it<\/span><span> is a scandal in and of itself, the US military\u2019s all-in adoption of the nascent tech via Palantir\u2019s Maven Smart System (MSS) and now, apparently, Grok is its own nightmare scenario. As Secretary of War Pete Hegseth <\/span><span>stated in January<\/span><span>, America \u201cwill become an \u2018AI-first\u2019 warfighting force across all domains.\u201d Less than half a year later, it seems they made good on that promise, but at tremendous cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=459\">Fans Sold at TJMaxx and Marshalls Recalled for Catching Fire<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>After 175 people, mostly children, were killed when a Tomahawk missile hit the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, Iran on the first day of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. <\/span><span>avoided taking responsibility<\/span><span> for as long as possible.

And whil we don\u2019t (yet) know where Grok sent those 2,000 missiles, but we should take the disclosure of that fact as a dire warning about the consent this regime is attempting to manufacture for a world where the material harm caused by those in power can never be pinned to them.<\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span>What better an illustration of that creeping sentiment than Musk\u2019s own reaction just last week to an article in <\/span><i><span>The Verge<\/span><\/i><span> that called him a killer and illustrated the death and suffering inherent in minting the world\u2019s first trillionaire.<\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span><br \/> <\/span><span>\u201cIf I were [a killer], the douchebags at Verge would have been dead long ago,\u201d <\/span><span>Musk posted on X<\/span><span> in response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=457\">Diversity in Streaming Movies Is Shrinking and Trump\u2019s Anti-DEI Crusade Could Make It Worse<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s probably safe to assume a known <\/span><span>keyboard warrior<\/span><span> like Musk, <\/span><span>known to backpedal<\/span><span> the second it seems like a conflict might actually be taken offline, could never look someone in the eye and personally end their life.
