This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Vision Language Models (Better, faster, stronger) We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

For emotional and maybe semantic too tbh I think you will get better results from having a group make moment by moment ratings. That may change, but I haven't been all that impressed by the video language models eg huggingface.co/blog/vlms-20...

One was an engineer who worked on CSIRAC. The other had a haberdashery, and would go door to door to sell undies to the Greek and Italian migrant women. Some underworld connections too I suspect given his links to a certain football team. Go Blues btw!

In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize
