I can see why they’ve been persecuted throughout history!

The irony is that you’re parroting Israeli propaganda by conflating Zionism with Judaism.

The state of Israel thanks you for your service and doing the work of Hasbara for them.

This is just self-serving messaging that he’s hoping will impact the AI spend and policy of other CEOs.

Maybe he believes it, maybe he doesn’t, but it’s 100% in his interest to make other decision makers believe that he believes it.

For those confused, they’re basically saying that if America tries to seize any of its Islands, or attack its coast, they won’t just close the strait, they will mine the entire Persian Gulf, which has many ships currently loitering waiting for the straight to open.

They also claim to have mines that they can simply drop from their own coastline, which will then subsequently travel into the the Gulf. Which is entirely plausible.

The environmental damage will be catastrophic from all of the blown up oil tankers still in the Gulf, and those oil tankers are not easily replaceable for the shipping companies, so even more medium term economic damage will be added to the pile as a result.

Can’t wait to see the reporting on how fucked up their air traffic control system is from Trump’s cuts.

But they’ve never been this close to the nuclear football.

You were calling them mad in the context of geopolitical strategic thought i.e. madman theory, and that’s just not true.

If you need evidence that they are thoughtful and measured, then just look at this war and how it’s playing out.

And if you need more evidence, please read all of the reporting regarding the latest rounds of negotiations that Trump sabotaged.

Those are not the actions of mad men.

While I will not defend theocracy, the people running Iran are anything but mad.

Brutal and repressive authoritarians? Sure.

But their strategy going back 40 years has been thoughtful and measured, which are not the qualities of people who are “mad”.

The same cannot be said for Trump, obviously.

But who’s going to grope children and ransack luggage?

Oh right, ICE.

Nevermind, crisis averted.

Get your conscience somewhere other than kalshi

Huh?

I appreciate you think that you have a point, and that it’s coherent, but you don’t, and it’s not.

You’re literally cheering for what you view as set of political upsides to war, and when I point out the rest of it, you get defensive.

I wonder why.

Thats the big tell you dont actually give a shit about those third world farmers.

Well, one of us is saying that killing tens of millions of people in the global south is a price they’re willing to pay, and the other is me.

So the tens of millions that are going to suffer famine across the global south, and the tens of thousands that will die in the third world hospitals without power, are price you’re willing to pay?

Good to know.

All for the low low price of depriving third world farmers access to fertilizer and power for their homes, businesses, and hospitals.

When you think about it, all of the deaths from the famines that are about to be unleashed will also reduce demand for energy.

I’ll admit that I was enjoying Trump flailing around like a moron, taking one loss after another for the first couple of weeks.

I’m not saying that my Schadenfreude was worth all the death and destruction, just that I could appreciate it.

But that’s all gone now, and I’m just left with the pit in my stomach. If this latest threat turns into a real tit-for-tat, it could spark the largest refugee crisis we’ve ever seen.

To say nothing of all the people that are gonna die in the third world because of a potential decade-long shock to global energy and fertilizer supplies.

So running a local model is unforgivable, but “scientific research” running on hyperscalers, can be justified?

Since no one is leaving critical comments that might explain all the downvotes, I’m going to assume they’re reflexively anti-AI, which frankly, is a position that I’m sympathetic to.

But one of the benign useful things I already use AI for, is giving it criterias for shows and asking it to generate lists.

So I think your project is pretty neat and well within the scope of actually useful things that AI models, especially local ones, can provide the users.

Cope.

Providing the actual bombs necessary for the extermination, is giving aid.

Finally, a reason to like Cybertrucks.

Stealth is not invisibility, it’s a combination of technologies that make planes hard to detect by sensors such as radar.

The video the Iranians released showed an F-35 that was within visual range of an anti-air asset before being hit.

No confirmation if that video is legitimate. We’ll just have to wait for more information.
