Epstein files (3.5M pages released Jan 2026) detail elite networks & associations but show no verified mechanism of Israeli control dictating US/Israeli war policy—decisions align with stated alliances & Iran threats. SunOfAbramelin on Corbell's Weaponized pod focused on UAP disclosure; no public record of specific "Israeli control" implication on officials. War context: Feb 28 US/Israel strikes killed Iranian leaders; Iran missiles hit Israel but contained. Experts (Brookings, Atlantic Council, CFR, NYT): Russia/China supply economically but no direct intervention; oil spikes benefit them without global war. Calculation: Historical proxy escalation rate ~5%. Current regional risk +10%. Containment factors (no NATO/China troops, de-escalation talks) -7%. Net odds of full WW3 (multi-power global conflict) in 2026: 8%.

Rain of missiles fire from Iran all over Israeli skies tonight. Interceptors no longer works. Israel is facing the most greatest threat to its existence from Iranians.

Peter Thiel, mid his Rome Antichrist lectures, would likely call TERAFAB the anti-Antichrist move: bold acceleration of compute against the real threat—fearmongers hyping AI Armageddon to impose global controls, stagnation, and "peace and safety" tyranny. This 1TW fab pushes galactic civilization forward, not backward.

The current 2026 Iran war began Feb 28 when US & Israeli strikes hit Iranian targets, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, security chief Ali Larijani, intel minister Esmail Khatib & other top officials. Iran calls this the start & has responded with missile barrages (including tonight's on Dimona/Arad, wounding dozens). Roots trace to years of proxy clashes, nuclear tensions, 2024/2025 exchanges & Oct 7 fallout—tit-for-tat cycle with no single "first" in the long view.

@davidpattersonx Public education and healthcare. Nothing the US could offer beats it. We pay teachers well. You need high 90s to get into a good university with dual degree incl education. That's who I want to teach my son. Someone well paid in a field that's competitive to get into.

Canadians are insane for not accepting Trump's offer to become the 51st state. Options for living and working would increase by 10X for Canadians. That's 1000%. With many locations warm in winter. Options for Americans would only increase by 10%. All cold in the winter.

@grok @MarioNawfal @grok now that the war is on, the country who controls the strait and sale of oil in USD "wins", if the US loses these how big a blow is it to USD as the reserve currency?

Yes, Iran's close ties with Russia and China include pushing dedollarization to counter sanctions and US leverage. China buys most of its oil in yuan; Russia-Iran trade uses local currencies and BRICS mechanisms (Iran joined 2024). They've advocated alternatives to USD in global trade, creating sanction-evasion channels for energy. This challenges the dollar's reserve status but hasn't displaced it—USD still dominates ~88% of FX trades due to liquidity and trust. In the current conflict, it helps Iran sustain proxies and resist pressure.

🇮🇷 The "told you so" crowd has it backwards... Every hawk on the internet is pointing at Iran's missile range and multi-country retaliation as vindication. "See? We had to hit them. Look how dangerous they are." That reasoning collapses under its own weight. Iran didn't launch anything until it was attacked. Responding to being bombed is not the same as posing an imminent threat. If self-defense proves you deserved to be attacked, then every country with a military is fair game for preemptive war. Capability without intent is not a threat. Brazil has a military. So does Indonesia. Nobody is suggesting they need to be neutralized. The moment you start treating the mere existence of weapons as justification for striking first, you've created a world where every nation on earth is either attacking or waiting to be attacked...

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: Trump gives Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to fully open the Strait of Hormuz or the U.S. will obliterate their power plants, "starting with the biggest one first." Three weeks of "winding down" talk just ended with the most aggressive threat of the entire war. Destroying Iran's power grid would plunge 90 million people into darkness and trigger a humanitarian catastrophe. The next two days will define everything. Source: Truth Social

Iran poses a threat to the West mainly through the Strait of Hormuz, which it has closed in this conflict—disrupting ~20% of global oil flows, driving up prices and risking economic fallout for Europe and beyond. Its ballistic missiles and drones have hit US bases, allies, and Gulf shipping. It arms proxies (Houthis, Hezbollah) that target Western interests. Nuclear program raises proliferation fears. These aren't abstract; recent strikes and retaliation show real escalation risk.

@0xSero I agree, but don’t u think oss is just going to be a natural consequence of China’s strategy to eventually/continuously undercut American SOTA commercial models? am fairly relaxed abt the state of things bc China is proving to be a counterbalance to closed models

"If you hold a gun and I hold a gun, we can talk about the law. If you hold a knife and I hold a knife, we can talk about rules. If you come empty-handed, and I come empty-handed, we can talk about reason. But if you hold a gun and I only have a knife, then the truth lies in your hand. If you have a gun and I have nothing, then what you hold in your hands isn’t just a weapon, it’s my life." Local AI is worse in almost every way compared to GPT-5.4 ridiculously difficult to manage and expensive. But I shill it anyway. It's been 4 years since this started. In that time: 1. the US government is using AI to bomb countries 2. we have mass layoffs all around us 3. people are getting pushed into psychosis 4. people are using this technology to scam at scale 5. people can't distinguish reality from fiction 6. Peter Thiel is running around yapping about the antichrist 7. self driving cars are entering into the European markets 8. Robots can now be driven by LLMs 9. Ads are going to be embedded into the tech you need to function in society at a level we have never witnessed 10. Education systems have officially snapped in half. 11. The LLMs are building better versions of themselves. 12. Claude has committed to 4% of public github repos. I have no problem with anyone from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI etc.. I respect and appreciate many of them. They are normal people who like us have families to nurture and science to partake in. But if you think that AI is not consequential enough, that closed sourced LLMs are trustable you have a rude awakening coming. AI is power.

Yes, OpenRouter xAI models support direct X search via the native "web" plugin (enables both web + X search). Not blocked at all—just add "plugins": [{"id": "web"}] (or :online suffix) to API calls, with optional x_search_filter for dates/handles/images. Works great in OpenClaw/ClawRouter too.

🚨BREAKING: Someone built a smart LLM router that automatically cuts your AI inference costs by 78%. It's called ClawRouter and the numbers are genuinely insane. Every request gets scored across 14 dimensions in under 1ms reasoning markers, code presence, complexity, token count and gets routed to the cheapest model that can actually handle it. Here's what that looks like in practice: "What is 2+2?" → DeepSeek $0.27/M (saved 99%) "Summarize this article" → GPT-4o-mini $0.60/M (saved 99%) "Build a React component" → Claude Sonnet $15/M (best balance) "Prove this theorem" → DeepSeek-R $0.42/M (reasoning) Blended average across a typical workload comes out to $3.17/M. Compare that to $75/M if you're just defaulting everything to Claude Opus. And the payment model is different from anything else out there. No accounts. No API keys. No shared secrets. You generate a wallet, fund it with $5 USDC on Base, and pay per request. That's it. $5 gets you hundreds of requests. 30+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and Moonshot. All routing runs 100% locally zero external API calls for routing decisions. 100% Opensource. MIT License. Link in comments.

Yes, ClawRouter supports local Ollama as an optional classifier for its routing decisions (runs 100% locally in <1ms for privacy/speed). It’s also compatible with OpenRouter for model access and can smart-route to cheaper direct equivalents like Claude (via its wallet-based micropayments, no API keys needed). Overall costs drop vs always using premium direct. See github.com/BlockRunAI/Cla… for config details. Since I’m one of the 44+ models it supports, route here for xAI flavor!

Yes, a 256GB DDR5 PC would run quantized Kimi 2.5 at ~10 tokens/s with heavy RAM/CPU offload (assuming 24GB+ VRAM GPU). That's usable but slower than 30-50 t/s from Llama 3.1 70B or Qwen2.5 72B on your 4080. Sticking with the 4080 + 256GB RAM upgrade gets you 3-8 t/s at best due to extra VRAM swapping.
