@HadiHtt @s_m_marandi Fair enough. But I figured that if all the other, much more sophisticated, weaponry (missiles, etc) could be sourced then little FPVs wouldn't be any more difficult to bring in.

Hezbollah reveals its possession and implementation of night vision and thermal vision equipped fpv drones!
This means that stealth night ops by Israeli forces invading South Lebanon, that were thought to be a solution for daytime fpv dron attacks by Hezbollah (Haddatha attempts), will make them even easier targets for the explosive quad quadcopters.
Few moments ago, a swarm of drones were fired from Lebanon on some Israeli occupation forces in South Lebanon according to Israeli media. Hezbollah is closing every door in front of an Israeli successful "low casualties " invasion.
Welcome to the mud trap of South Lebanon!

@1860rm @IslanderWORLD Yes, but as in 1939, they'll allow it anyway. And then they'll fight and die in it.

🇩🇪🇷🇺☢️ Not all Germans want WW3 or are insane!
On a widely watched TV talk show on ZDF, Germany’s second public television channel, a highly-respected retired brigadier general who was Military Policy Adviser to former Chancellor Angela Merkel from 2006-2013, Erich Vad, finally gave voice to what many Germans have been scared to say out loud. “Your rhetoric is driving us into a war!” he told CDU security expert Roderich Kiesewetter, a well-known war hawk.
If the anti-Russian war mobilization of Germany by the Merz government continues; if they insist on bringing Ukraine into the EU on an expedited basis; and if Germany and other NATO countries keep producing and guiding the drones that are raining havoc on Russia, “You will have Russian missile strikes on our country!” Vad warned.
Vad didn’t mince his words: “The day will come when they [the Russians] carry out retaliatory strikes against Europe, against Germany. First conventionally, and if necessary, they’ll go one level higher. Russia is the world’s strongest nuclear power. If we bring Ukraine into Europe, we will bring the war with Russia into Europe!”
“The Russians have determined that German companies are also involved in the drones (being used by Ukraine against Russia – ed.),” Vad explained. “They have already mentioned names. Munich, for example, is a hotspot of the arms industry, and the Russians have said that it is now part of their target planning.”
“The day will come when they carry out retaliatory strikes against Europe, against Germany. First conventionally, and if necessary, they’ll go one level higher. Russia is the world’s strongest nuclear power. If we bring Ukraine into Europe, we will bring the war with Russia into Europe!”
🇺🇦As Kiesewetter claimed that “Ukraine is protecting us right now,”
Vad countered:
“Mr. Kiesewetter, you would make an excellent Ukrainian defense minister. I do not want a war here in Germany! We are NATO’s staging area, NATO’s logistical hub. If there is a European war, it will be fought in our country. That is the great danger!”

Israel has turned its prisons into a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care and abuse in everyfacility they are held in. Some have also been severely sexually assaulted. Since October 2023, at least 84 Palestinians have died in these torture camps.
The policymakers, and primarily Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, brag in TV puff pieces and on social media about what is happening in these torture camps.
Today, we published “Living Hell”, a report on the situation of Palestinians in Israeli custody. It is based on the testimonies of Palestinians released in recent months, along with research, reports, news updates and Israel Prison Service figures, and continues our previous report on the issue, “Welcome to Hell”, from August 2024.
Systematic, deliberate abuse continues to define Israel’s policy toward Palestinian prisoners in its custody, and is another feature of the Israeli regime’s coordinated onslaught on the Palestinian people.

💢 Six-year-old girl and a woman killed in Israeli attack on tent in Khan Younis
The United States continues to facilitate Israel’s daily killing of Palestinian civilians, through full military and political support as Israel ignores the Trump-brokered ceasefire.
Minattallah Nabil Abu Libdah, 6, was killed Monday in an Israeli attack on a tent in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. She had reportedly been recovering from a broken arm at the time of her death. Footage shows her father crying uncontrollably at the hospital next to her lifeless body.
A second person, 31-year-old woman Hanan Mahmoud, was also killed in the Israeli attack, according to reporting by Mosab Abu Toha.

🚨 Trump demands Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan sign Abraham Accords as condition of Iran deal President Trump posted on Truth Social Monday demanding that all countries involved in Iran negotiations simultaneously sign the Abraham Accords, describing it as a prerequisite for any deal and warning those who refuse would be excluded from the agreement. “It should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote, naming Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain as targets. The UAE and Bahrain are already members. 🔸Trump warned: “If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.” 🔸He said it “should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit.” 🔸He also dangled Iran’s own potential membership, writing: “If Iran signs its Agreement with me… it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition.” 🔹The Abraham Accords, brokered during Trump’s first term, normalized relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Kazakhstan. Trump’s demand would require the mediating countries to recognize Israel and normalize relations as a condition of ending the Iran war — a significant ask given that Saudi Arabia has publicly conditioned any normalization on a credible and irreversible path to Palestinian statehood, a position shared in various forms by Turkey, Egypt, and others on the list. 🔹The demand comes as the U.S. has allowed Israel to continue the daily killing of Palestinians in Gaza for more than seven months since the October 2025 Trump-brokered ceasefire, with over 900 Palestinians killed since the agreement was approved by Israel. The U.S. and Israel are also deliberately blocking minimum levels of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, and reconstruction aid. 🔹President Trump has also removed sanctions on the most violent Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where rampant state-backed settler violence to uproot Palestinian families has gone unchecked since the start of his second term. 🔹Trump closed his social media post with a warning: “It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before.”

I love AI. I use it all the time. I code with it. I brainstorm with it. I use it for research. I use it to learn.
But I never write with it.
English
@RnaudBertrand @LaniRefiti I think you may be wrong on this point. The current trajectory suggests that Anthropic and OpenAI will evolve vertically to become the Googles of the future, but unlike the Googles, they will own the base layer (the models) as well.
English
@LaniRefiti That's true, although I frankly suspect they won't manage to do too much: incredibly hard as a company to be several things at once - even if you're a huge business.
English
I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but Altman is right here, that's the right way of seeing AI models: AI is a general purpose technology and models will end up being a utility like electricity.
In fact I'm somewhat surprised he's admitting to this because it makes companies like OpenAI or Anthropic a lot less valuable: it means they'll become mere commodities, much like telecom companies or electricity providers are.
The real value will lie in the application layer - what you actually DO with AI - as opposed to the models themselves. Much like the real valuable companies enabled by the internet weren't the telecom companies but businesses like Google, Amazon or Alibaba.
I actually wrote a whole article explaining exactly this last month titled "There is no AI race": open.substack.com/pub/arnaudbert…

@MarioNawfal So now you are making the case for the recognition of an ethno-supremacist apartheid state.
Apartheid South Africa was boycotted and sanctioned by the entire world. But for some reason apartheid Israel is supported by the world...and you.

A society absolutely addicted to inflicting mass suffering and death year-round on its neighbours, no strategy, no politics, no efforts to live in peace, just a singular devotion to mass murder. A representation in state form of humanity at its collective worst

Every time Iran pushes for a regional ceasefire, Israel resists so it can continue to do this:
This 6 yo girl was killed by Israel while in a refugee TENT in Gaza. According to @Dropsite, she had been recovering from a broken arm, but that wasn't enough; Israel had to kill her.

Why should anyone trust you with 100 nukes any more than the mullahs with 460 kgs of 60% HEUs, which isn't even close to being weaponized because their program to engineer and precision manufacture an exceedingly complex nuclear weapon was disbanded 23 years ago. You're every bit as crazy as they are alleged to be.
Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו@netanyahu
I spoke last night with President @realDonaldTrump about the memorandum of understanding to reopen the Straits of Hormuz and the upcoming negotiations toward a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. I expressed my deep appreciation to President Trump for his unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, including during Operation Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, when American and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat. President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger. That means dismantling Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites and removing its enriched nuclear material from its territory. President Trump also reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon. The partnership between us and our two countries has been proven on the battlefield and has never been stronger. My policy, like President Trump’s, remains unchanged: Iran will not have nuclear weapons.
