Good morning! I've just published the first article on the AUTOWAR25 website.
The Ocean as the Proving Ground for the Next Architecture of Command - Machine Warfare, the Three Tyrannies, and the Limits of Continuous Human Control
"The resulting challenge is not simply how to accelerate human decisions, but how to preserve command authority when human judgment cannot accompany every operational decision."
We are not running out of ways to make machines more capable. We are running out of ways to keep the human continuously present.
The ocean may be where we learn to keep command authority without continuous human control.

We're investigating reports of users experiencing issues accessing Exchange Online mailboxes through multiple connection methods in the Americas. More details can be found in the Microsoft 365 admin center under EX1550543.
So Microsoft Outlook and Teams is down... again... Obviously all the H-1B workers hired to replace American employees is paying off.
This is the right man to attack this decades-long challenge.
.@BrianSikma: “We are making sure that our transition program, that is designed to connect service members with jobs, is not just about checking the box and saying you sat in a room and heard a brief but it is actually a meaningful partnership between @USDOL and the service branches.”

Respect Orders are now in force.
Persistent offenders of anti-social behaviour face tough restrictions and could be ordered to tackle the root causes of their behaviour, including through drug or alcohol treatment and anger-management courses.
Now that Palantir has been given full access to most of the U.S. government through long-term contracts.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp is pivoting back to the left in the wake of the GOP’s midterm defeat, saying he’d be open to supporting a Democrat in 2028 so long as they aren’t a DSA candidate.
In an interview with Politico, Karp claimed that Democrats have “corrected” from their previous errors and called himself a progressive eight separate times.
"I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir — all of our products are essentially progressive,” Karp gushed.

🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL
Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service.
H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans.
One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements."
Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now.
The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings."
The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it.
And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for.
We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload.
Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it.
But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls.
Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61?

So happy to know this crew! @BarbaraRueger @TimOnPoint you’re infamous!
Sample: In which an account labeled as one of theirs is trying to get Hegseth and @/infantrydort to appoint @/TimOnPoint into an as-yet nonexistent "Drone Czar" position at the government.
The @/TimOnPoint account is currently promoting mass murder.

NVIDIA Founder, Jensen Huang has RESIGNED effective immediately, after falling for a CCP honeypot.
CFO Collette Kress has taken the position of interim CEO. No word on restructuring as of yet, as Huang reportedly managed 60 direct reports.
She really should consult with a competent lawyer about the risks posed by her libelous assertions.

Proud member of the wildest class ever to graduate — ran on Ultimate Orange, Island Pasta, alcohol, and groupies — a few heroes, a few antiheroes, 1 villain, 5 or 6 psychopaths, 1 guy with the most unfortunate last name in the history of the military, and 20 or so of the most ADHD mother fuckers you’ve ever met.
