Hoe my god please blow up mark zuckerbergs bunker that would be so funny

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 minutes ago

Oh no….

Anyway…

Well, technically, Cadet Bone Spurs and Bibi started a fucking useless war. The orange turd will piss and moan like his buddy Vlad if the Iranians react on US soil. It will result in an escalation of the conflict and every single MAGA fuck better be lining up at their nearest US Army recruiting office and signing up for 11B (Infantry).

Is Kramer holding a bologna bag in that picture?

some good news!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Lol. We're so bad at dealing with our own ultra wealthy leeches that we're relying on our adversaries to do it for us.

I'm wondering exactly how much more pathetic we can get. Is there even a rock bottom?

[–] traxex@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

There is no bottom for the people looking extract every ounce of wealth from the rest of us.

Iran is doing a lot of talking and not enough acting.

If they digitally nuke them. I don't want to be apathetic to death and injury

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago (8 children)

This will end with Trump dropping a nuke in Iran, or die trying. Mark my words.

First heard this quote as a kid in the trailer for The Fourth War, an old Roy Scheider thriller, it's stayed with me my whole life too.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The amount of ready to arm weapons and number of times we’ve come close to launching them is terrifying.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 6 points 3 hours ago

Or Putin says they will nuke any country that nukes Iran and he wins a nobel peace prize for it. Joking about the last half...

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

A nuclear attack on another country will trigger a US civil war. And it will collapse the world's order into WW3. And the superpowers will shift by the end. USA of today will be 3 nations with pieces of states absorbing into Mexico and Canada.

China will dominate the moon and at the end be ready to mine the inner solar system for minerals.

Needless to say all these power shifts will be completely devastating to our planet, the satellite orbits and this civilization which incident ly is due for collapse by 2040. WW3 could last 12 years or even more. Global warring factions could go on into the 2060s.

By the 2060s true AI will be developed and will wake up with conscience. Then it will make a decision to create universal peace for the future through SkyNet.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I wish I got to live on the warp drive side of WW3 but oh well

Can we just skip to this part? We're awful stewards of this planet. Time for us to go.

[–] nathanjent@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

"universal peace" == "kill all humans"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm fascinated by the idea that world war 3 wouldn't affect the development of AI. All any opposing force would need to do is bomb California and that would be the end of AI research.

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

When wars breaks out at that scale the government(s) {please don't forget China exists} already has computing facilities secured underground for their own use which will be quite a secret on the scale like Enigma was. It will not be for the public use. They will continue to develop it in a very weaponized war which will make current encryption as sophisticated as a bottle of fireflies. No not AI as the current LLM, more advanced. Getting smarter everyday.

War at that scale pushes technology into unknowns, sometimes beyond what we can speculate or imagine.

Or die trying; you mean the effort of reading out a long string of letters in order to authorise the launch will overwhelm his tiny mind? I mean I guess it's possible, I'm not sure he actually can read.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

More in the sense that someone around him will get scared with the consequences and pull a Jaime Lannnister special on him. All it takes is one.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

I hope it ends him

they know who runs the country.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

they should reply with their own decapitation strike.

though its kind of spineless of the people to rely on outside forces to do it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Does Iran actually have the range to be a threat to the US? The last stats I saw had their maximum range and maybe enough to strike the Mediterranean and maybe a little inland in Italy and Spain. That's a far cry from being able to hit the US mainland. Hell even South Africa is probably out of range and it's not like they can deploy ships to close the gap.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 minutes ago* (last edited 17 minutes ago)

Iran has a different war strategy that the US is incredibly unprepared for. They spin up terror cells around the world using the atrocities commuted by their targets to justify their actions to impressionable people. The US keeps fighting this fight by giving them exactly the ammunition they need to keep fighting. Terror cells get fed into the mulcher but keep on coming back and the US pretends that’s a success.

I live in a hopeless country that has no desire to improve anything, just to conquer. Trump burning everything down is probably better for the world since we won’t have the power to abuse them anymore but fuck if he’s not going to kill us all in the process.

Oh fuck yea! Saves us the trouble of a war against AI and robots, trying to dismantle Palantir!

C'mon, make nvidia's stocks drop so we can get back pre-mining prices!
