    I mean, the… ‘funny?’ part… is that there is a significantly greater than 0 chance that that data center was directly involved in target analysis and assignment into the kill chain, for deliniating strikes against Iran.

    A number of sites in Iran have been hit, with precision munitions… that make no sense.

    Well, they make no sense, unless your man in charge of target assignment… is an LLM.

    ‘Police Park’.

    Its… a park. Mostly empty space.

    But it has Police in the name.

    So it gets a couple of tomahawks.

    … On that note: Gunshots By Computer.

    By my reckoning, 2025 was Year Zero.

        It never wasn’t.

        Say your name

        Try to speak as clearly as you can

        You know everything gets written down

        Nod your head

        Just in case they could be watching

        With their shiny satellite

        Turn it up

        Listen to the shit they pump into your head

        Filling you with apathy

        Hold your breath

        Wait until you know the time is right on time

        The end is near

        let me know if you can hear this image

      If this hypothesis is true, and it does sound plausible to me, it would be interesting to see what counter-analysis emerges, or even if citizens try to change their road address from King Street to Landfill Lane to avoid getting whacked.

        I mean… good luck trying to… make yourself innocuous… to a hallucinating machine.

        That just makes shit up, sometimes, for no discernible specific reason.

        Also I don’t think random people can generally just… change the name of the street they live on.

        I’m guessing that even in Iran… maps exist, with road names, and… some kind of centralized authority maintains these names.

        I guess you could basically ‘poison’ maps with decoy ‘IRGC Regional HQ’ type names, and then evacuate the surrounding blocks?

        We have also seen missile/drone cams of strikes being done on decoy targets… painted silhouettes, fake/prop missile launchers…
