It is presented as a letter from the commander of the US Marine Corps reserve, Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson, in which he urges Marines to check their equipment and be ready for possible mobilization in connection with the situation in Iran.
"Marines!
Our country is at a critical juncture. Global events are shaping our country's security, and we must be ready.
I ask you directly: Are you really ready for deployment, combat, and victory? Are your skills honed, your standards high, and your equipment ready for immediate deployment? Is your MARPAT desert camouflage available, your gear packed and ready to go, or is it sitting in a corner of your home? Are your family's affairs in order? When the call comes, readiness will be assumed, not questioned. Your readiness is not a declaration; it's a daily commitment.
This is not a theoretical exercise. Our forces are currently involved in operations related to Iran and are positioned to maintain stability in the Western Hemisphere. Our enemies have a voice, and mass mobilization could become a reality. We are operating in this environment now. History demands our readiness today, tomorrow, and every day.
Your combat readiness is shaped by your daily actions, your preparation, and the seriousness with which you perform every duty. We are judged not by our intentions, but by what we can do right now. Check your readiness. Raise your standards. Prepare your family. Our country expects disciplined, combat-ready forces, ready for immediate action. These forces are the Marine Corps reserve. This standard begins with you, and you must uphold it.
Such a message does not mean an immediate deployment of US Marine Corps reserve forces, but it indicates that the command is keeping such a scenario in mind.

Every LLM from any lab today traces back to this guy, who was the only person at OpenAI pushing for pretraining transformer language models.
He built GPT-1. After that did others see the potential.
He invented it, and almost none of the so called AI experts even know his name.
Alec Radford has 190,000+ citations, no PhD, no master's degree, and 34,000 Twitter followers. Sam Altman called him an Einstein-level genius. Wired compared his role at OpenAI to Larry Page inventing PageRank. He still prototyped most of his work in Jupyter Notebooks.
The resume is staggering when you list it out. GPT-1: first author. GPT-2: first author. CLIP: primary author. Whisper: co-author. DALL-E: co-author. DCGAN: co-author. Contributing researcher on GPT-3, GPT-4, and DALL-E 2/3. Multiple U.S. patents owned by OpenAI. He joined in 2016 with a bachelor's degree from Olin College, a school founded in 1997 with fewer than 400 students.
His first experiment at OpenAI was training a language model on 2 billion Reddit comments. It failed. But the organization gave him room to keep going. Two years later he built GPT-1 alone, based on what colleagues described as pure technical intuition. He couldn't fully explain how it worked at the time. He just knew it would.
At NeurIPS 2024, Ilya Sutskever singled out two people as responsible for the pre-training era: Radford and Dario Amodei. All four original authors of the GPT paper have since left OpenAI. Radford left in December 2024 to do independent research.
His last tweet was in May 2021. A reply explaining why GPT-1's layer width was set to 768.
The person who built the foundation of a $300B+ industry communicates less publicly than most interns.

The concept of "teenager" is a modern invention.
For most of human history, a boy of 13 was already a man, apprenticed in a trade or fighting in a war.
George Washington was a professional surveyor at 16.
Alexander Hamilton managed a trading company at 14.
In medieval Europe, noble boys could be pages at 7 and squires by 14.
In Rome, a boy put on the "toga of manhood" at 14.
The idea that an 18 year-old is "still figuring things out" would have been incomprehensible to our ancestors.
I believe this is why we think teenagers are so troubled. They are men and women stuck in a society that treats them as children. Of course they are going to "rebel".
We should give them more responsibility and expect much more of them.
