Miltech leaks belong in the War Thunder forums. Fake news

Just wait until Grok ingests some TS/SCI info. Its going to make War Thunder forums look like a bunch of 10 year olds arguing over comic books.

It’s gonna be wild prompt-engineering grok to disclose confidential information. I for one am looking forward to it.

It didn't look like that already?

Currently I'd consider them closer to 14 year olds arguing over pro wrestling, or 20 year olds fresh out of bootcamp arguing over uncleared military hardware replicated in a video game.

...wait

I'd argue it's any age from 18 to 50ish. But they're 10yo's at heart [maturity level]

"Accidentally"

Keep in mind the US loves propaganda as much as the next regime. Doing an oopsy woopsy to show you got strong weapons is almost completely in your favor.

With this admin, I always feel chances are equal they A) did it on purposes or B) fucked up again. This sort of ambiguity might be on purpose for whoever decided to let social media influencers run a country.

Well, yes and no.

The current regime in particular is run by / has leadership largely composed of sycophantic rank idiots who demonstrably suck at their jobs. They can and have fucked up things simpler than this.

"Accidentally". Yawn

Again? They just can't help themselves, can they.

PS: I don't care if the "actual missile" is not in the pic, they shouldn't do that, and the later retraction is an admission of guilt.

PPS: could've been on purpose though. 50/50 🤷
