This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
No. Peter Thiel cannot be allowed to annex the National Science Foundation via this Palantir proxy.
It would be like putting a pyromaniac in charge of the Library of Alexandria: destruction of a global treasure with no "undo" button.
This is a "to the barricades" moment.

It leads us to exaggerate social and environmental problems and to underestimate Western power.

Hannah Ritchie has built a fun little tool where you can compare energy usage of various products and activities.
This is super helpful imho, because it's so hard to develop intuitions even just about the scales involved here.

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March
This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight.
But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.
They outdo themselves every half-hour.
Even if this was a reasonable policy - which it isn’t - are you really going to trust the Americans only to fly defensive missions from the bases? What are they going to say? ‘Scout’s honor?’
A Swedish state-funded research funding agency, Formas, has started to approve applications based partially on random draws. Applications are grouped into high quality (gets funding), low quality (doesn't get funding) and a middle group where a lottery takes place 🎰.

User Chris: What was the core difference why you think the DoW accepted OpenAI but not Anthropic Sam Altman: I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation. *First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get stressed and deteriorate super fast, and I could believe that was a large part of what happened here. *We believe in a layered approach to safety--building a safety stack, deploying FDEs and having our safety and alignment researcher involved, deploying via cloud, working directly with the DoW. Anthropic seemed more focused on specific prohibitions in the contract, rather than citing applicable laws, which we felt comfortable with. We feel that it it's very important to build safe system, and although documents are also important, I'd clearly rather rely on technical safeguards if I only had to pick one. *We and the DoW got comfortable with the contractual language, but I can understand other people would have a different opinion here. *I think Anthropic may have wanted more operational control than we did
I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.
