Artificial Intelligence: Discussion and demonstrations
If you haven't seen the news about OpenClaw's massive vuln's I'd encourage you to use it in an extremely protected environment with zero access to any of your personal information or credentials. It has massive supply chain risks with real world impacts on people. EDIT - apparently this thread started in Feb and I'm too stupid to see dates. Leaving this here for shaming purposes.

Ah, thanks. Missed the qualifier. That said... Only 22 states have fighter units!

The Iran thread - military tactics, strategy and lessons learned so far
Reminds me when I was in SOS and we had the ANG/Reserve briefing. They were going on about how involved they were augmenting the AD force during the Iraq/AFG steady state. They asked , "Isn't that great?" I guess maybe if they're trying to get those points for retirement or whatever. But, no, I think utilizing these forces like they're AD is hiding real manpower issues, and abusing the folks who signed up for a "less strenuous" but longer reward commitment. Happy for feedback, but that shit bugged the fuck outta me.

I guess this gets into a convo for possibly the other thread. Happy to move it there. But where would you say the balance is for making this assessment? Sure, we pounded them super hard, obliterated their Navy and AF, smoked leadership (plus a school)...but they still held strategic military and civilian assets at risk throughout the entire process. I won't even get into the money/cost portion. Speaking of which, keep the sailors who've been deployed for 10 months in your prayers. Operating off a flight deck after almost a year at sea sounds like a special hell. Even if they got the knock it off today, still a month to get home.

It's knows who the real boss is. 😃 Tough that we won't know what part cyber did play in the operation. I hope the leaders who were in while I still was saying you can win with just binary have shut up/retired. Cyber is an excellent force multiplier, but the technical burn that can occur using it offensively can be extremely high. I agree 100% it should be part of the campaign planning. If I was an RU or CN I'd have people all over Iran looking at critical infrastructure, major backbone providers, endpoints, etc., trying to find our TTPs and IOCs. I think, opinion only, China is the closest peer in that domain right now. I'm worried burning capes on this "limited operation" will be giving a lot away. I'll see if I can't muster up the time to post something about it in the dead cyber thread.

This seems a bit overzealous - https://www.regulations.gov/document/OPM-2025-0206-0049?ftag=MSF0951a18 The meat - "OPM is collecting service use and cost data from FEHB and PSHB Carriers, including medical claims, pharmacy claims, encounter data, and provider data. This data will enable OPM to oversee health benefits programs and ensure they provide competitive, quality, and affordable plans. OPM requires Carriers to report necessary information and permit audits and examinations to manage the FEHB Program effectively. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule permits covered entities, including carriers, to disclose protected health information (PHI), including service use and cost data, to health oversight agencies, such as OPM, for oversight activities authorized under 45 CFR 165.512(d)(1)." I'd rather not give (if I was a GS) OPM my pharmacy claims, encounter and provider data. What the fuck does my docs notes have to do with "competitive, quality and affordable plans."- Trump's Cabinet
Be interesting to see how firing the CoS of the army came about. In the middle of operations no less.- The Iran thread
