| “ With SPRINT, we're not just building an X-plane; we're building options”. Found the guy who couldn’t be bothered to write his own press release… |

| I'm quite fond of the caption, which describes a "a proof-of-concept technology demonstrator that aims to demonstrate technologies and concepts" |

| I think I'd rather have them working on airplane tech rather than writing airplane tech press releases. With this approach, it's not just a tactical thing; it's relieving the burden of wordsmithing from technical people. |

Instead of freeing up someone to do more design work, it freed someone to interview for a new job. I hope they get it. Do technical writers work on press releases? This sounds more like a job for the public relations/corporate communications department. | |

| It's a quote from someone...? |
| |
| ▲ | jdiez17 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | ... who probably wrote their prepared PR statement with an LLM. | | |
| ▲ | esseph 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | I have always talked/written like this. now that LLMs do it in a similar enough way, my own writing gets called AI slop. I just wish my rotator cuffs knew I was a robot. | | |
| ▲ | irl_zebra 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It's probably good signal at least, if not a bit of a harsh thing to say that I don't mean in a bad way, that your writing was bland or mediocre since LLMs are basically regression to the mean. | |

| It feels like DARPA has fallen so far. In a post-Salt Typhoon era it's really hard to imagine them as dynamic, best-in-class innovators anymore. |
