Correct. I did follow up today and read some more sources and it sounds like it’s not quite as simple a story, but the dependence on the US military seems to be a significant issue. I found a better article with a more nuanced take here if you’re interested in that sort of thing: https://theaviationist.com/2025/03/10/f-35-kill-switch-myth/

My understanding is that that plane needs to “call home” daily or it won’t work.

I couldn’t find the article, but found a more recent one that basically agrees with you, except on the whole replacement of the computer systems. That plane took so long to complete and had so many problems, im betting it’s easier to design a new plane rather than reverse engineer this one but that’s neither here nor there.

I think the largest issue is the over-dependence on the US military across the board which as you mentioned, we see playing out in the Ukraine already.

Do you think the EU has what it takes to rebuild fast enough to stand up for themselves alone?

I hope so. I’m not informed enough to know.

Yes. This is why I’ve disabled it repeatedly when it supplants my assistant.

If they remove automation, well, that was the one thing standing between me and de-googling.

Basically, yes.

I read that it’s trivially easy for the US to remotely disable those planes. Seems like a security concern to use them.

Reddit says the vast majority of users will not be affected Is that because the vast majority of users are bots? 🤔

Welcome, internet stranger!

I don’t disagree, but the systems necessary to make this happen non-destructively just do not exist.

Although it is kind of a downer. In the 70s, they predicted the downfall of society. We’re on track with the prediction, more or less.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

You’re a nice person. Keep being you!

I ducking knew it too, I’ve been a long for the ride though. The models still do have some niche applications where they’re actually useful.

This whole thing with OpenAI and Microsoft whinging about fair play is truly laughable though. What clowns.

As a side note, it took a few tries to write ducking, my keyboard kept correcting it to fucking. We’re definitely 2 different people. Lol.

Negotiate. That’s a funny way to spell sabotage.

Ugh. That fuckin guy, that Velveeta Voldemort.

I heard someone saying Idiocracy is thinly veiled eugenics propaganda. I still don’t know how to feel about that.

Perhaps a mediocracy?

Me too, since 2014, before it was a thing, according to Google trends. Does that make us hipsters? We did it before it was cool.

I think it would also be fair to say that anyone who doesn’t is also virtue signaling.
