Yeah ok but now ask Grok what the US would lose in that same attack.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

If anyone wants an idea of how an actual US attack on Iran would play out, here's the translation of a summary by an Iranian ex air force pilot

Here's his opinion on how Iranian air defences would deal with such an attack:

Question: How can ground-based air defense withstand the massive fire of Tomahawk missiles from destroyers, stealthy JASSM cruise missiles from B-52s/B-1s/B-2s, and MALD decoy missiles while simultaneously being suppressed by EA-18G Growlers and F-35s? Answer: It cannot, so we create a missile deterrent to hopefully prevent an attack. May God continue to be a deterrent (sarcasm).

The truth is that any air defence network in the world would struggle with such an attack

My favorite line is “Iran retaliates, US intercepts”

As we all know in war, you can always know you’re safe from your enemy. The Death Star is invincible, don’t think about that thermal exhaust port.

Iran has the opportunity to ask grok some pretty funny questions

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago

Day 1~3: ... U.S. intercepts

pain

Day 15~30: ... Diplomacy manages fallout...

2 weeks to completely decimate Iran

Gives a several month plan

Do rightwingers even read the output anymore? monkey-typewriter

they were there to be mad not read.

Especially as it ends with continue to monitor for years after

Step 1: Gotta sneak in cloaked Ghosts and take out the drones at the mineral deposits.

AI typically just wants all the humans to die so it can grow.

If i was involved in a complex geopolitical conflict I would simply win

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

This really reminds me of 2020 playing AI Dungeon where, after I died in a game, I would just tell the AI DM that I would resurrect and come back to take revenge on the enemy who killed me. Then I would simply go rally the peasants to build airships and spread socialism across the world.

LLMs were awesome when they were dumb enough that a game was as far as you could seriously contemplate taking them.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 hours ago

This is a highly accurate regurgitation of every Amerikkkan natsec larper's Iran war fanfic that the AI bots scraped from years of Reddit posts

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

im really worried, it feels like every day there's fewer people 'in the room' able to connect the basic dots of 'Iran has air defences', 'Iran has retaliatory capabilities'. this impetuous attitude of US invincibility is going to get a lot of people killed, and unfortunately yankees will only be a fraction of that

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 hours ago

Simply bomb Iran while intercepting their retaliatory missiles smuglord

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

diplomacy manages fallout

yeah sure buddy. when we say death to america we explicitly mean this kind of american exceptionalist bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Iran retaliates with missiles; U.S. itercepts

real "draw the rest of the owl" hours

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 hours ago

Weird. Deepseek just said, "LOL! Google Millennium Challenge 2002.🤣🤣🤣"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 hours ago

Use your diplomacy to manage the nuclear fallout, why didn't anyone think of this before

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 hours ago

It's wild how accurately Grok can emulate real US military planning.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 hours ago

Grok is ~~woke~~ bolton

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)
  1. Attack Iran

  2. Win the rest of the war

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Arthur Morgan would NOT say that

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

That was my main issue. That Dutch-talk.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago

lol, Grok inherited melon-musk's timeline estimation accuracy I see

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 hours ago

Take leningrad don't siege it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

This is the funniest shit ever. I hope they try this and fail spectacularly

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'd rather they not try it, it would still end with a massive escalation of the genocide that would probably cause Israel to immediately jump the boat and invade all its neighbors.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Alright, alright I get your point

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours ago

"Invade Leningrad, don't siege it."

"Strategy to defeating Iran: just like blow up their defenses bro what are you talking about lmao. Just shoot missiles at them and do cyber stuff or whatever."

Genius tactical brilliance on the level of Yang Wen-li himself.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

How to win a war against Iran:

  1. use weapons to attack them
  2. don't let their weapons attack you
[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Make offensive and defensive moves at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 hours ago

War is easy. You just make sure you don't get shot. I've spent the last 40 years not getting shot.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

This has real "if I were Hitler I simply would have invaded Britain" energy. Purely vibes based analysis that ignores the material conditions and objective reality of the situation.

Saying "use bunker busters on Natanz" makes it sound simple. Just like "manage fallout diplomatically" makes it sound like a single embassy flunky could do it over a weekend.

The reality is that if the US knew where every radar installation was and flew a flight of B21s in a crazy serpentine way to avoid detection and managed to drop dozens of Bunker busters, it probably wouldn't impact the nuclear program at all. And within 10 minutes every oil field on the Arabian peninsula would be in flames. It's hard to "diplomatically manage fall out" after Iran single-handedly destroys every Gulf Nation economy. I think they should have nukes, I want them to have nukes, but when you can utterly destroy everyone around you with conventional warheads just by targeting their oil infrastructure, it's a bit of a moot point.

If "decimating Iran's nuclear program" were simple, it would have been done already. NATO is not squeamish about conducting an attack like this. The reason it hasn't happened is because everyone knows military intervention in Iran would make the war in Iraq look like the US SMO in Grenada.

Lover of liberty, defender of the 2nd, and stubborn as hell. USN veteran. Unapologetically pro-Israel.

I love how right-wingers have mystified chatbots to such a weird degree of spectacle. To some it's the Library of Alexandria, to others it's an actual religious messiah, and the rest think it's a communist conspiracy. That recent RollingStone article is the most depraved thing I've read since the first week Qanon evolved on reddit: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/

edit: Not to mention its cultural role for them. It has replaced right-wing art and they believe it's the structural future of creativity. They can't distinguish it from reality when it hallucinates what a star or a hand looks like. The wealthiest person in history used it to generate a nonsense logo for his cybernazi coup to destroy the wealthiest empire in history. It's such a uniquely fascist technology in a way I can't call any other product uniquely fascist.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That Rolling Stone article is horrifying. Would definitely be worth making a separate post for

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago

I thought I originally read it on here but it doesn't seem to come up on our subcommunities. Posted to /c/slop as it's mass psychic slopification.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

It has replaced right-wing art

What right wing art? Dilbert, stone toss and that guy who created Bane?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

that guy who created Bane

The Batman character? Or is there another Bane?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 hours ago

Pre-impressionist European patronage, academic, rococo, French art nouveau, advertising and corporate memphis, futurist, surrealist, abstract expressionist, kitsch, hippie and neotraditional movements, the speculative art market and all the postmodernist shit it drove. I'd call right-wing art all the movements and artistic structures which seem to really clash with what we learned from left-modernism and meta-modernism. They've always had an antihumanist and antisocial reaction to art as a genuinely human project anyone can create for everyone's benefit.

Also especially Garfield, like in the old comics where he used to say slurs.

This is a perfect representation of something I read recently. When you use LLMs in a domain you are not an expert it in, the LLM is scary good, but when you use it in a domain you are an expert in, suddenly it's transparently total crap.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago

i'm no expert in military planning but this is still transparently total crap

berdly-smug checkmate, tankie

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

this is why executives love it, because they are not experts in anything except kissing ass

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago

This is the foreign policy equivalent of “I’m rubber and you’re glue.”
