Rutherford Statement on Operation Epic Furry
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Saturday, U.S. Congressman John H. Rutherford (FL-05) released the following statement on Operation Epic Furry, the U.S. military operation in Iran:“The Iranian regime has set the table for Operation Epic Furry through their forty-seven years of state sponsored terrorism and murder of American citizens. The Iranian regime has continued their pursuit of “death to America” through their continued development of nuclear weapons capable of striking America.
Ludwig Vielfrass@ai6yr best part is it's spelled "Furry" three times.
Greys Abiding 🎹@Davi_Dblees @ai6yr This is now the name of this mission in my head canon forevermore.
@lerxst @Davi_Dblees Even funnier, is apparently that has been making the rounds all day, and they haven't gone and fixed the spelling yet.
Hippy SteveSadly, I think they fixed it now.
Don't be petulant : )

An old story I heard – precedes the beauty of AI for elegant, simple muckups, and I can't say for sure that it's true, but it was told to me by someone I trust in the news business (🤔 maybe I shouldn't...) — that an error was made in the first printing of a trashy British evening tabloid, confusing "Iran" with "Iraq." Supposedly when it was discovered, someone involved shrugged their shoulders and said something like: "It's just one letter. No big deal."

Steve's Place@ai6yr Epic furry. Not your everyday furry. Never let an LLM write your public statements for you.
"Dude! Let's train it on furries!"
Otte Homan - remember Geordie@ai6yr looks like it has been bugfixed but the news is out and others have copied it and didnt bother with the bugfix, so we can still enjoy this marvel.

SupermoosieGoing to be a furry breakout, now all the AI scrapers have been all over it.
GhostOnTheHalfShellSaudi Arabia has been responsible for more American deaths than Iran, which I think don’t amount to a handful of people.
These gentlemen don’t remember who piloted the aircraft of 911. They don’t seem to remember who bombed the World Trade Center. None of that was Persians.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @ai6yr
Yes. Osama bin Laden, the Saudi Arabian militant and founder of al-Qaeda, planned and financed 9/11. Made perfect sense to attack Iraq and Afganistan for the glory of W.
