“Netanyahu finally found a president that was sucker enough to launch the war that he’s been pushing for for 30 years” Do you think the U.S. should stop aiding Israel, should pull back on aid to Israel? “Yes…”

@matthew_d_green it just occurred to me that locality of concern should always be the OS.. New patterns might emerge where there are baked-in secure,local enclaves for PII (..etc,.) data that only allow interactive access by a user (MFA). Yes, users will have to learn.

For example, our best ideas right now are “never let anything cross private/public boundaries” which isn’t really useful for many tasks. Or “use models to check for privacy violations” which reminds me of that Dr. Seuss story about the king who uses cats to chase down the mice stealing his cheese.

I want to continue a bit on this subject, which (so far) I see very little concern about. There are vast stores of private data that we’ve built up in various places, including messaging apps. A real “killer app” for Gen AI is to ingest them and turn that data into revenue.

Paused the encryption work and went outside… Starting to think that was a built-in protection mechanism. Fingers still intact, lesson learned. 😅

the comparable table is fatalities. 2023 is an anomalous year because of the Hamas event in October. The largest funder of Hamas at the time was Qatar, under funding arranged by Israel. Iran, of course, was the second largest funder. Other than 2023, Hamas' total was negligible. Best not to draw conclusions from a single anomalous year. Cheers.

According to the State Department's own reporting in their 2022 report on Global Terrorism, state.gov/wp-content/upl… , none of the top ten terrorist groups, ranked by fatalities, were connected to Iran. However, there is evidence that some of them, maybe all of them, have received funding or weapons from Israel or US (USAID, CIA).

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

CIA Director Ratcliffe is directly contradicting the US intelligence consensus from last year: "We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003." The newly released ODNI threat assessment ignores this issue, which indicates that the consensus remains the same. Either Ratcliffe knows something that the rest of the intel community doesn't, or he's made a false statement:
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

"Was Iran developing a nuclear weapon prior to our military action last June and did Iran remain committed to developing a nuclear weapon in the lead-up to this conflict?" @CIADirector: Yes "If left unchecked, do you think Iran would have the ability to develop missiles capable of reaching the United States?" @CIADirector: "Yes."

@mtaibbi thank god we can disagree. otherwise we're just critiquing low-hanging stupidity and generating low-brow commentary. seriously, thoughtful discussion is a welcome change and something we used to have (albeit, limited) in MSN decades ago.

it's crazy how many people think that 30 minutes a day isn't enough to learn anything. Who told you this? Unknown knowns are wild. People just ingrain hurdles in their head about the universe because some thought leader spoke into their life in the distant past.
