🇪🇺 Europe may buy Russian gas and oil again in droves due to Trump's conflict with Iran - a serious blow for Ukraine, - WSJ

Nothing says power to the downtrodden like a hereditary dictatorship.
Supporters of the Islamic Republic now get to explain why Pahlavism is the wrong kind of hereditary monarchy
In 1979 an Islamic Revolution toppled a monarchy only for a monarchy to be restored by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard in 2026
Trump helping out Putin again.

When I watched a smiling Lionel Messi applauding Trump’s cartoon villain bloodlust, I thought about Muhammad Ali going on international television to deliver his poem condemning the Attica prison massacre, telling the world that fascists would never conquer the human spirit.

No commit to the repo in a month.
It's almost like it was all just a marketing stunt and even Anthropic realizes spending any more time on it would be dumb.

The thing that most radicalized me against the current LLM bubble is... actually reading what Sam and Dario say, and following up on their promises.
I bookmark many of their "in 3-6 months, this will happen", and then actually check.
Guess what. None of their predictions ever come true.
Grifters.
If the main US and Israeli war aim is simply to destroy the Iranian state and economy then that's more achievable than many on this site think
Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap
So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense.
Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized?
Correct. Russia

"JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE"
The July 2024 jobs report released three days before this post showed +112,000 jobs.
The most recent jobs report shows -92,000 jobs.
The first of five German state elections this year takes place tomorrow in Baden-Württemberg (home of Daimler, Porsche, Bosch, SAP). Looks set to be photo finish between CDU and Greens - remarkable achievement by Greens' @oezdemir.de, whose party was 10+ points behind in autumn.

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols:
“It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking #water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
A lot of what is described on this site as a "war crime" might well not be. These laws, after all, were created by states, which gave themselves a lot of room for maneuver.
Attacks on desalination plants doesn't strike me as a difficult case. It is pretty clearly a war crime.
Dear Anton
If you haven’t accepted it yet. You should. Italy is a horrible pro Russian country. They don’t care whatsoever of the barbarity they are inflicting on innocent Ukrainian people. They are a disgusting country. Anyone who loves Ukraine. And wants peace. Don’t feed their economy.
