Les Ukrainiens ont tellement de drones que les assauts Russes ne se font plus en tanks, mais en motos. La fonction est de révéler les positions Ukrainiennes pour répliquer avec les drones et l'artillerie. De la chaire a canon au au sens littéral. Ca donne ces scènes dignes de MadMax.

@immacule.bsky.social · 2mo agoLe général Yakovleff (ex haut commandant français) a brisé le silence avec une critique dure et directe. « Il faut cesser de dire qu'Israël se défend. Israël ne se défend pas. Israël massacre et torture le Liban, et nous le laissons faire. Trump est d'accord. Ça me répugne, ça me dégoûte. »
A must-read. It lays out a realist theory of Ukr victory, focused entirely on material power. That the well-known realists aren't jumping on this math but twisting themselves into pretzels arguing that nothing Ukraine or its allies do would help and Ru is destined to win exposes their pro-Ru bias...

This guy is real afraid of something. He’s not up for election again. And he doesn’t care about anyone else. So for sure he is afraid that Dems investigating him and controlling the justice apparatus in this country will land him in the hottest water. He’s terrified.

![“Potentially, what you could do with [AI] is obviously use it to engineer storytelling and change storytelling,” Russo said. “So you have a constantly evolving story, either in a game or in a movie or a TV show. You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I’ve had a rough day,’ and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that’s 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cbhnuflsctq2s7mu4iqcuauq/bafkreibajgqyg4mppmj4b3qgyk2tiwop57qov5gb2zakfsv7iyvqe4uh5q)
