The Pentagon has met with senior executives of Ford Motor and General Motors
to gauge whether the auto industry could help the military acquire vehicles, munitions or other hardware more quickly and at lower costs.
The conversations are in the very early stages, and relate to the possible production of components by the companies, not entire weapons systems.
No specific projects are currently being negotiated, the people said.
The discussions with automakers underscore …

Great thread on cast iron skillets.
And lower down they mention cast iron woks.
I would put my votes in for cast iron griddles and dutch ovens as well.

One of the core problems of GenAI is that it's trained on junk data no one has ever read and reviewed. Once again we see that's a lesson not learned, because in their endless quest to more data for more-of-the-same models, GenAI companies have found a new source of mediocre training slop: work-related chats.

Explosive new book on Trump sparks White House alarm that Situation Room conversations were taped: report | The Independent
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-haberman-book-situation-room-b2995492.html
In classrooms and public events and private conversations, my campus regularly facilitates discussion (often heated) about the virtues and dangers of capitalism and Marxism and every economic theory you can think of, about human rights and AI and abortion access and data centers and civil wars and genocide and myriad other subjects of •extreme• controversy.
We do not, however, make space for and amplify people who believe the Earth is flat, because that would be a f***ing waste of time.

It's fascinating to read through letters and telegraphs of Albert Einstein, yet I wonder whether our digitized world will leave the same trace.

This. The conversations are incredibly fraught. I hear this over and over
.. and also, the flip side. Anyone who finds it useful tends to find the need to keep it hush-hush on the fediverse. It's really preventing the "how do we steer" harm-avoiding conversations from happening. The net result is that only the careless touch the stuff. It’s not a good time.
