Nice looking Piper. "Someone tell me what to do."... I would sure like to know more about his flight training. Wow. -
I heard a horrible situation unfold in real time today that ended in a crash, I tried to help but everyone overwhelmed the kid and he crashed...fortunately the he survived, but made some epic mistakes along the way. I was flying from Huntsville back to Florida when I heard what sounded like a young guy come up on guard and you could hear the fear in his voice: "N85RW I don't think I have enough gas to make it." Several people chimed asking him to repeat, this time he said "N85RW I don't think I have enough gas to make it back to Murpheesboro." We asked him where was and he replied, "I don't know and now I show I have no gas, someone tell me what to do." Everyone on guard jumped in, "LAND, Squawk 7700!, LAND, LAND!" I have Starlink in my plane so I pulled him up on Flightaware and he was 14 miles west of Murpheesboro. On my map I could see he was 5 miles from a restricted (Private), airfield and he was at 5,000' AGL. Before I could get that out someone told him to switch to Nashville approach freq 118.4 because they had him on radar. I switched over but could not get a word in, felt like I was the only one with SA. Seven minutes later he was down in the trees. He passed multiple roads and empty fields and ended up in the trees...you can see one of the fields in the background of the crash pic. I hate to judge pilots after the fact but damn...

Sounds like typical big tech. We want those sweet DoD dollars, but we want to pretend like we stand for world peace and non-aggression. Fuck them. They should feel privileged to serve the military that created the world they profit so richly in. -

Philosophically, Anthropic. Pete terminating the contract is right also. Threatening punitive actions will result in a lawsuit and DoW attempts to use the software against design probably wont go well, discovery and all. Anthropic is also kinda wrong here because they engaged in a dance with the Devil and thought it would be money. -
If you’re an AI company and want to do business with the DOD, then you have to be OK with them implementing it in ways that will result in death and destruction. If you don’t like that, then don’t do business with the DOD. -
It seems like the issues are with filling the earlier class dates at Laughlin, hence the “pick up and move now” offers people are getting. Similar to what was mentioned in this thread where people are getting offered to go with a March RNLTD. Curious if those of us who put Laughlin first and are still waiting for dates are also going to have an earlier class date. Will let y’all know
There is a meeting today between Hegseth and Anthropic. Anthropic's AI, Claude, is integrated within the Palantir Software used in the Maduro raid. Anthropic found out and informed the DoD Claude's terms of service stipulates is should not be used for applications involving violence, weapons development, or mass surveillance. Claude has guardrails in place to impede/prevents its use for such. It appears Claude is the only AI model approved for use on SIPRnet. Hegseth is unhappy. He says all AI models with DoD contracts need to remove any such guardrails so the full capabilities can be used by the DoD for "all lawful purposes." Hegseth is threatening to terminate Antropic's contract and deem them a "supply chain risk". Who is right? Hegeseth or Anthropic?
CH has been very clear on his criticism of dumb shit being said across the entire spectrum, as has just about everyone else here. Start living in reality instead of making up/implying blatantly false things.

A buddy at Pensacola told me this morning that around 50 CSO Lts on casual status were pulled to go to Laughlin for UPT. Between these and my personal experience exchanging messages a couple times with AFPC, there seems to be some kind of pilot-select crisis at Laughlin, like they chronically under-selected students to attend UPT there. If the Air Force just under-allocated 150 pilot slots in a single fiscal year that's kind of alarming.
If it comes to that but I’m cool with working by, with and thru trustable Mexican military units, members and political leaders; the Mexican constitution and people are not interested in that methinks. Making Mexico a policy priority for the US and assisting where we can is worth the money, effort and risk. Like Germany and the Zimmerman Telegram, I’ve always thought China might put the money and effort into making a string of problems for us regionally by courting and supporting a change in policy and orientation of countries like Mexico. Helping them (and others) fix this security problem and improving relations (no amnesty for that though) is the chess move to block the Chinese, improve our security and help Latin countries further develop.
And hot Mexican chicks
