Crap, are we in a time loop? Like Groundhog Day or When they Cry or Christmas Every Day?

Sometimes I think we are, other times I'm not so sure.

.. or the Endless Eight arc in Suzumiya Haruhi no yûutsu?  Could be. 

That would at least explain the sense of deja vu I get every time I watch a "new" isekai or reincarnation anime lately.  :D

I've only seen YouTube clips from the recent crop of isekai anime, but why do they all appear to be set in a video game based on the Middle Ages?

It wasn't always like that, Vision of Escaflowne, Magic Knight Rayearth and Fushigi Yugi are all very different from each other. Although they're all quite old now and come from the time before isekai was called isekai.

This is what you get for not forwarding that email to 10 other people.

YKYITFW electric cars have taken over the high-performance car market.  A 1.74s 0-60 makes Tesla's model X 1.99 second time seem positively sluggish.

Of course, you can by over 20 model Xs for the price of one Nevera.  💵💵💵💵

Some things never change.  :D

YKYITFW NASA announces a second source for lunar landers for their Artemis program.

Haha, I love that twist! Time travel always seems like a chance to fix mistakes, but imagining a future ruined by a corrupt casino owner is delightfully chaotic.

I always love Back to the Future and wanted to see what might be waiting in the future.

SpaceX just filed with the FCC to launch up to 1M satellites designed to function as super powerful solar-powered orbital data centers.

All I have to say is if they're going to build Tree Diagram then I just hope someone is also already working on Dragon's Breath.

So Anthropic is refusing to allow the Pentagon to use it’s AI for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. That in itself is remarkable since Anthropic is not known for holding back when it comes to experimenting with AI.

Quote

 

Anthropic’s position isn’t that such uses should be permanently off the table. It’s that its models aren’t capable enough to support them safely yet. Imagine an autonomous system misidentifying a target, escalating a conflict without human authorization, or making a split-second lethal decision that no one can reverse. Put a less-capable AI in charge of weapons, and you get a very fast, very confident machine that’s bad at making high-stakes calls.

The Pentagon’s argument is that it should be able to deploy Anthropic’s technology for any lawful use it deems necessary, rather than be limited by Anthropic’s internal policies on things like autonomous weapons or surveillance. 

More specifically, Secretary Hegseth has argued the Department of Defense shouldn’t be limited by the rules of a vendor and that it would engage in “lawful use” of the technology.

 

What could go wrong?
