so this is like a joke right


A snake showed up in our backyard yesterday. Instead of panicking, I sent this photo to my OpenClaw. It identified it as a harmless gopher snake, gave me a local number to call to confirm, and suggested ways to catch it to make it a pet for the kids. I have small moments like this everyday now, usually less dramatic, that remind me how AI has made daily life feel a little more magical.

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution. This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel. Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability. It is important we get this right.

Unreal turns 28 today. Released on May 22, 1998, it was one of the most visually impressive games of its era and helped launch the Unreal Engine into existence. That engine now powers Fortnite, blockbuster films, architecture, simulation and half the gaming industry. They shipped a game and accidentally built the infrastructure for modern entertainment.

NETANYAHU: "We have seen the deterioration of support for Israel in the U.S...correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media." "While we were fighting the physical military battle on seven battlefields, 7-front war, we were completely exposed on the 8th front, the media war - really, the social media war."

Let’s go. Let’s get this done.
