By Barak Ravid (Axios) The Trump administration asked Israel on Monday not to carry out further strikes on energy facilities in Iran, particularly oil infrastructure, according to three sources familiar with the matter. Why it matters: The U.S. request marks the first time the Trump administration has reined in Israel since the two countries launched their joint operation against Iran ten days ago. The Israeli strikes blanketed Tehran — a city of 10 million — in toxic black smoke and acid rain, raising urgent health warnings for ordinary Iranians. Driving the news: The U.S. messages were conveyed at a senior political level and to IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, an Israeli official said. The Trump administration cited three reasons for its request, according to a source with knowledge of the matter: Such strikes harm the Iranian public, a large portion of which opposes the regime. Trump aims to cooperate with Iran's oil sector after the war — similar to the approach he has taken with Venezuela. The strikes could trigger massive Iranian retaliatory attacks on energy infrastructure across Gulf states. Between the lines: Iran attacked Gulf energy facilities with drones earlier in the war, but did not cause significant or irreversible damage. The U.S. concern is that a new round of strikes on Iranian oil could change that calculus — and send prices even higher. A source familiar with the details said Trump views strikes on Iran's energy and oil facilities as a "doomsday option" — something to be held in reserve only if Iran deliberately attacks Gulf oil facilities first. What they're saying: Trump telegraphed that posture publicly, warning Monday that Iran will be hit "20 times harder" if it harms global oil supplies. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the U.S. will "take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again." The source claimed Trump was hinting at potential attacks on Iranian oil faciliti…

markets loved this headline

gee why would we think the administration is constantly lying to us
markets moving on tweets, still dumb
to be honest, "summarizing text" is one of my least favorite LLM use cases

Meta is so desperate to use AI to remain relevant
Trump's sales pitch yesterday in fact felt like a huge scam. I wonder how long before markets realize that
both understandable and so dangerous
the right-wing nutjobs running our country continue to shred the constitution
If you’re a journalist, and you refer to Pete Hegseth unironically as the “Secretary of War,” you might as well refer to Donald Trump’s Trump as “His Majesty.”
they're nazis
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

It is very clear that we could stop AI development right now and it would still transform a substantial portion of white collar work, often unrecognizably, over the next 5-10 years as people figure out how to make the technology work in various industries, even given current models' limitations.
