Cooking by the numbers.

You know what they say: Better latte than never.

What's even funnier is telling it it's wrong and to generate it again.

Maybe it's the fact that most people treat it like a local team rivalry or a "I hate my team but I won't let the others win".

It was the worse of time, it was the better of time.

Generate a picture of a house absolutely without any giraffes whatsoever. There should be no giraffes.

Oh, the answer to what if Rob Liefeld made a Batman comic.

As I mention above, the central power in SA needs us to keep other regional powers at check and the Wahhabi in power.

Even if government officials where involved on the attacks, that would be against the direct interests of the Saudi Crown.

In all cases, 9/11 was stated by the perpetrators to be used as an attempt to take the US out of SA (sacred land for Muslims) and every one had allegiances with either the Muslim Brotherhood (and through it Iran), Al Qaeda or, like in Bin Laden's case, both.

This guy though fell from grace and started his campaign against the US during the Iraqi invasion, when the king and government decided that his plan of fighting with faith wasn't as sensible as US tanks and planes.

In fact he tried to convince the Saudi scholars to issue a fatwa against the US deployment, but they preferred to keep their necks.

What I'm trying to say is, the SA government is a cruel, despotic and brutal regime but had little to no benefit from aiding in 9/11. Did they fuck up? I guess royally so, but I don't see why would bite our hand.

Then again, I know nothing...

Whom in the Saudis wanted to take such a risk? I mean the Wahhabi needs us to keep the cash and weapon flow going if they want to keep in check their rivals.

I'm not disagreeing, just want to understand their motivations.

After all, Bin Laden was not Wahhabi at all, at odds with the Royal Family and had an upbringing at Muslim Brotherhood camps, which at the end of the day are managed by Iran, one of the main powers in the region and the biggest threat to SA.

In that regard, intentionally or not, Bin Laden strategy would weaken SA, which fits with what the Brotherhood wanted and ultimately fits with Iran's regional objectives. But I can't see how someone in power would want that unless they had pretensions to the crown, or rather following the Iranian philosophy, a possible republic's government.

I mean.. Shouldn't we start differentiating generative AI from stuff that's actually useful like computer vision?

Ghostbusters is probably the single movie I can quote from one end to the other.

That and maybe Robocop.

Watching it for 2 minutes doesn't count.

The M from S&M.

Perspective is a harsh mistress.

The sanctity of this latte has been fowled.

You laugh but project 2025 is actually the plan made by the Brain. The problem was the huge hubris in making the plan public.

Now that common scene in a 007 movie where the baddies explain in detail how they will take over the world doesn't seem so farfetched.

In fact, it would be as if Doctor No made a free pdf with his plans.

That was before the dicketies.

Best of lucks!
