@younata@hachyderm.io @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I hated MREs (though the pound cake was delicious compared to everything else). They were required for all meals when doing Air Force base war exercises. That was in the early 2000s but I bet it’s still the case. I wish they had been a last resort.

@user47@m.ai6yr.org I’m of a similar mind that there must be a middle ground. The ethics behind building & implementing/running the models are my main hang up. Like it or not, the arms race is on wrt vulnerabilities with no end in sight.

@Secret_Squirrel @molly0xfff my super cynical thought is they’re, in part, collecting replies to find all the employees with pronouns & DEIA keywords in their signatures. I hope most, if they reply yes, are deleting the rest.

@mlanger@mastodon.world @augieray@mastodon.social bleed air fed into the air conditioning would qualify but cabin airflow often seems subpar especially if they lack gaspers (those swivel outflow vents above passengers).
