@MosabHasanYOSEF Oh and the minute you take away a nuclear option..
They'll start recruiting chemical weapons experts from Russia's collapse..
English

@MosabHasanYOSEF Except the Iranians, and anyone who's watched a Stephen Segal, Tom Cruise etc comic book film.
It won't be in one place
It will be surreptitiously guarded
It will be booby trapped...
It's 400kg plus containment...

A joint U.S.-Israeli special forces operation to extract Iran’s highly enriched uranium from Isfahan would be the perfect off-ramp: neutralize the nuclear threat, flip the script on the regime, and hand Trump a decisive strategic victory. High risk, historic reward.
The move nobody sees coming.

Marc Andreessen admitted on Joe Rogan that AI is making people less efficient.
The guy who funds half the AI industry. On a podcast. Just casually dropping it.
Same week: Nvidia's VP said compute now costs more than his employees.
Microsoft canceled 100,000 Claude Code licenses because finance couldn't stomach the bill.
Uber burned $3.4 billion in AI budget by April.
And here's the detail everyone's glossing over:
Uber didn't just adopt AI. They gamified it. Internal leaderboards ranking teams by usage.
They made burning tokens a competition. A sport.
It worked. Adoption went from 32% to 84%. Engineers loved it. They used it for everything.
They stopped thinking about whether a task needed AI. They just used it. For everything. Always.
And that's when the budget died.
The tool was so good that people stopped being selective about when to use it.
And the moment you stop being selective, the cost goes exponential.
Because token-based pricing means every thoughtless query costs real money.
This is the part nobody wants to name:
AI doesn't have a cost problem. It has an addiction architecture.
Flat-rate software trained an entire generation to use tools without thinking about cost.
Now AI billing is per-use. But the habit of "just use it for everything" didn't update with the billing model.
Uber built a leaderboard that rewarded maximum consumption of a product billed per unit consumed.
Then acted surprised when the bill arrived.
Microsoft's engineers unanimously wanted to keep Claude Code. Finance killed it. The people using the tool said it was the best thing that ever happened to their workflow.
The people paying for the tool said they couldn't afford how much the users loved it.
We built something so useful that the only way to sustain it is to stop people from using it freely.
And that contradiction isn't a bug in the business model. It IS the business model.
It's how every AI company makes money: build something addictive, bill by consumption, and wait.

@PeteTruthUSA @Vivek4real_ Hmm so the vendors tool needs several cycles to be useful..
A novel twist on planned obsolence or
AI is just an expensive Role Playing Game for coding..
English

@Vivek4real_ The cost is NOT just the computer equipment. The biggest COST is that AI is wrong A LOT. Policing and correcting the AI results is very costly.
English

@Vivek4real_ For smart people running a big business..
1) Your AI vendor is down billions and doesn't know if they will survive.
2) Telling your staff use this tool to improve your productivity, or you are out. Is like opening a free bar at an AA meet...

P4
How can you differentiate your undeniable awareness from a hallucination or delusion..
and how can you convince others
English

P1: If no finite object can represent, contain, or serve as a proxy for the infinite being, then our awareness of the infinite being is not produced from any finite object.
P2. If our awareness of the infinite being is not produced from any finite object, then it is produced by the object itself.
P3: No finite object can represent, contain, or serve as a proxy for the infinite being
P4: I am undeniably aware of the idea of the infinite being (unlimited goodness, unlimited power, unlimited knowledge, etc).
Then, my awareness of the idea of the infinite being is not produced from any finite object
Therefore, the idea of the infinite being is produced by the infinite being itself.

@a_swift_half hr departments accrual political intelligence within an organization
English

HR departments are entirely unnecessary in this day and age. They serve absolutely no purpose than to add layers of bureaucracy.

JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”

@Tsar_Martyr Translation;
Not a single atheist has refuted any of my tweets, because
I have my fingers in my ears
I decide the quality of the rebuttal
I have predetermined the truth so sucks to you lot..

@PaulSchleifer @MadelaineLucyH Tsk; should have said ln4.605 a natural number,
none of this new fangled artificial base10 intelligence...😆😆
English

@MadelaineLucyH I give my IQ as a log10 to make others feel better.
English

As someone with an IQ of 148, it’s a constant source of amusement to me that people question my intelligence. Being someone with an IQ of 157 makes me objectively far, far smarter than you proles. Only people with an IQ below mine (194) would argue it’s a number anyone can state without evidence or meaning

@NiohBerg Imagine installing a two way heat pump that can cool and warm.
Nah we'll have aircon for the summer and a furnace in the basement for winter..

Imagine living in Northern Europe and installing a big, ugly AC that will be used for roughly 10 days per year at most.

@javarevisited OH I agree, my problem with SQL was the syntax. The concepts are easy.
Obvious one is Right and Left joins.. viewed from whose point of view..
Subquery vs Nested vs LTE with..
If ever there was a scripting language designed for the priesthood SQL is it..

@MichaelRosenYes In the same way I'm
Anglo Brit by ancestry
Anglo Christian by culture, christened, Xmas & Easter Eggs
Atheist by experience
Not a raging nationalist
British passport holder (sadly no longer the maroon one)

@MichaelRosenYes After some thought I think
Jew is an ethnicity, maintained by ancestry
Jewish is a cultural pattern, observes festivals maybe secular
Judaist is a religious believer, with multiple sects , reform to Ultra
Zionist is a political opinion
Israel is a Nation state..
thoughts?

Melanie Phillips is coming at this from this perspective. In her own words:

Melanie Phillips@MelanieLatest
melaniephillips.substack.com/p/a-dangerous-… A number of 'progressive' Jews have publicly joined the horrified denunciation of the Jew-hatred that’s erupted. But much of that pushback takes the form of protesting, 'Don’t blame me for what Israel is doing.' Those Jews are themselves swelling the flood of defamatory hatred. They haven't realised that the entire progressive world has succumbed to a civilisational cancer. And that's because they're part of that world themselves, and regard all beyond it as extremists who can safely be ignored.

@marklevinshow What the Hell did you expect..
Don't you remember the fatwa issued on Salman Rushdie..
Even years after Khomeini's death it still inspired an almost fatal attack.
The Trumps will probably be looking over their shoulders for life even if the regime died tomorrow.
English


@marklevinshow Maybe Iran thinks Trump is defeated or at least out of options..
Plus it's his birthday soon..
