    the US has been testing tanks that use Grok (yes, LITERALLY Grok) to help kill Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Grok does not pull the trigger, it’s just used for a type of mapping system so soldiers can can share locations of enemies

    is it a bad thing? kinda yes kinda no. Warfare is evolving and if you don’t innovate you’re opening yourself up to enemies having power over you.

    is it terrifying though? OH HELL YEAH

    ((also note, I am a dumbass who just watched a YouTube video about it 🙇‍♀️))

    edit: also I’ve been watching what’s going on in Ukraine and it’s so cool watching innovations happen. Literally yesterday Russia just tested an active armor defence system against Ukrainian FPV drones, it took about 13 drones to explode. Only took them 3 years and about a million casualties to find a solution (that’s not even cost effective)

    The only game systems my parents had were the

    • NES
    • OG Gameboy
    • Gameboy advance SP
    • PS3
    • DS lite

    or at least that’s the ones that were kept around long enough for me to get my hands on them. I haven’t seen any old consoles IRL outside of that, or at least not any that I remember 😆

    Since they had kids i’ll list the systems I (or shared with my siblings) own

    • dsi
    • Wii
    • 3ds
    • Switch
    • PS5 (I don’t see the appeal tbh)
    • Gaming PC (played nothing but Minecraft for about 2 years)
    • Steamdeck (LCD, OLED)
    • GBA I modded with a LCD screen, but that was like a year ago so I don’t rly count it

    Tried a friends switch 2 and it’s pretty cool but the fact my steamdeck has over 100 of my PC games WITH SAVES just makes the entire console seem kinda silly. Also there’s no soul to it which makes it even more unappealing :/

    if I were to get a “console” nowadays it would probably be either a steam machine or a PC from secondhand parts in steam big picture

    edit: worth mentioning I’m gen Z (2007) and my parents are early millennials
