This is the whole premise of the new Mission Impossible movie.

Very unnerving stuff here: About a year ago I shared a video here showing AI generated NPCs in a city simulator program seemingly taking on emotions of irritation and impatience when they were questioned by the player. This just got a lot more serious.

Also about a year ago, the first AI based video generator called SORA was launched, with overwhelming coverage, praise, and questions from those who were worried about the potential devastating weaponization of the tool which can see entire reputations and livelihoods destroyed. Since then, video AI had continue to gather exponential growth in capability.

ETA: Full coverage: The program is "Google VEO 3", and I have a distinct feeling that May 2025, which marks the launch of this next generation super-AI, would be remembered as a major technology milestone even in the distant future.

Alex Wheeler? I seem to recall that he wasn't too fond of Impacts.

Yes sir! You are correct!

I have had great success with any top-notch smith chambering barrels, despite their reservations about a certain action. Robert Gradous and I did go through a few hoops getting one of my Impacts to shoot, but as it turns out, it was a whacko muzzle brake. That one took the last of my hair off of my bald spot, but we looked at everything; from firing pin springs to different barrels, triggers, and scopes.

So I think the OP's issues may be overstated by "Anonymous Gunsmith X" for hunting or any practical applications outside of benchrest.

Poll: Single-Stage or Two-Stage Trigger for NRL/PRS Rimfire?

My precision rifles all wear two stage triggers as they support my chosen shooting style/process. Are they intrinsically better, no, not for everyone. You need to try both. See which fits with and supports a process you can follow and be successfully with and then train under the constraints of your sport. Trading is the most important part. Every person has a different need and preference ( which this is). Pick one and make it work until it doesn’t.

This weather is a little concerning

Looks like more coming in tonight….

Have been thinking about what I heard last night too, and am pretty convinced it was a tornado, or at least “tornadic activity” or whatever the hell it’s called.

If it was a tornado, it seems that it never touched down, but it was a really distinct sound; different than the normal rolling thunder we get around here. Almost like a helicopter, but 1000 x louder, and you could feel the rapid rise and fall of the air pressure…shook the hell out of our house, and while it’s stick built, it’s all rock and stucco faced. It took a lot of energy to rattle our cages like that!
