The Trump administration heralds the Iran War as a Not-Woke War. Here’s what that means in practice.
You go to war with the reality TV star and the basic cable talk show host you have, not the reality TV star and the basic cable talk show host you might want or wish to have at a later time.
I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

There will be many dumb takes presenting Anthropic heroically bc it clashed with Trump. But the time to worry about everything concerning Anthropic was BEFORE signing the contract that it didn't wish to abandon. America is in such steep decline that we don't even make Oppenheimers like we used to.
their missile ranges are fuckin increasing exponentially man, in another 5 years they're going to be able to nuke one of the moons around Saturn
In 23 years we've degraded from mobile anthrax labs and an imminent mushroom cloud to "clearly they are headed in the pathway to one day being able to develop weapons that could reach the continental US" from a guy who doesn't know what the word "exponentially" means.
Clearly I am headed in the pathway to one day being able to press a car over my head and toss it back and forth from one hand to the other. And the weight continues to grow every single year exponentially.
But were you seeking to destroy the Islamic Republic, you would want to generate lots of targets, through extant surveillance and analysis of webs of association emanating outward from the regime and in particular the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. You would want to further be able to know where those targets are in pretty close to real time and when they are in undefended positions like their homes. You would want to generate a dynamic map of everyone who represents support lent to the regime, something that sounds to outsiders like "the senior ranks of decisionmakers" but in practice looks more like anyone who draws a government paycheck or provides the government with necessary services. In other words, you would want something like Israel's Lavender, Gospel and Where's Daddy AI programs, which were components of the decimation of Gaza.
The Pentagon wants to use Anthropic to go to war with Iran. Why? @attackerman.bsky.social thinks it is using the war on Gaza as a template: www.forever-wars.com/the-scent-of...
