To be fair it was the Fox News AI which did that, which we must note according to the AI Law is not legally liable for incorrectly representing reality and does not necessarily represent the views of any of the owners or staff at Fox News unless in cases it aligns with their objectives in which case it does. The Fox News AI can also serve jail time as it is sentient and thus legal action against illegal misrepresentation and journalistic malpractice by Fox News management can be focused on the Fox News AI leaving all other personnel free to continue to contribute to the job market while justice is being served.

Given their rampant imperialism they most likely consider it their own property anyway.

"They wouldn't be around without us anyway, so they owe us whatever they got!" - probably any interchangeable subhuman MAGA knuckledragger.

where they spoke about the “high-tech arsenal of the United States” during the operation in Iran, they used video of the Ukrainian interceptor drone STING from the manufacturer “Wild Hornets”.

Was genuinely skeptical of this being a pure Ukrainian invention, given how much tech has been crossing the border from the NATO states. But... fuck me, I can't find anything to suggest this isn't 100% home grown. I'm sure if you got your hands on the tech specs, you'd find some kind of cross-over (not like Ukrainians invented VR googles or remote telemetry and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if folks outside Ukraine were involved in the design). Past that...

I do wonder how secure this technology is, if its something you can gin up with a 3D printer. Like, are there Sting specs out in the wild at this point? Or is this something they keep under lock and key?
