  • To be blunt, two doesn’t seem like a lot to me.

    And one of those is on the LocalLLaMA community, which is for people running LLMs locally, so it’s a pretty safe bet that they aren’t going to have any fundamental ideological problems with LLMs. If you go to [email protected], [email protected], or similar, it’d be very surprising if you found people who had an issue with generative AI.

    That one kind of reminds me of when I first showed up here and was using kbin, which puts random posts in the sidebar to encourage discoverability. Both myself and another new kbin user wound up in some thread on a pawb.social community. The other guy — who probably didn’t understand the structure of the Threadiverse or where he was commenting — was complaining about “all these furries” in the thread.



  • Hegseth told senior military leaders that he no longer wants to see “fat generals and admirals” or overweight troops in combat units.

    “It’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon leading commands around the country, in the world, it’s a bad look,” Hegseth said.

    For people who are actually engaged in combat, okay, but usually generals are not going to be personally engaged in physical combat. If they are, things have probably gone rather wrong on other levels. Like, we’re theoretically choosing people at that level based on ability to coordinate and plan, not to look sexy on TV.

    The Defense Secretary pointed to his own regimen as an example. “It all starts with physical fitness and appearance,” he said. “If the Secretary of War can do regular, hard PT [physical training], so can every member of our joint force.”

    Every time I think the cringe bar cannot go lower, this administration manages it.
