Trump in Iran is threatening to commit the same war crime -- attacking civilian power plants -- that the International Criminal Court has charged four of Putin's military commanders with committing in Ukraine. trib.al/X2bAnhT

At least 39 energy oil refineries, natural gas fields and other energy sites in 9 countries have been damaged since US and Israel began bombarding Iran, a @nytimes analysis found. Some have been struck by drones. Several have been hit more than once.

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

Stop. It was not imminent.
Most ppl think Iran was a year away from breakout/first detonation. Then you have to miniaturize the warhead & mate it to the missile. Along the way there are adjacent issues like storage, safety, C2, etc
It took N Korea years to figure this stuff out

So - definitely a threat. Imminent, even. Put a nuke on it and you can see why Trump has been right about this all along.

@DamonLinker Maybe this is just the beginning of the Islamic version of the Thirty Years War 😭

So, is Iran targeting holy sites in Jerusalem because they assume in the event of their destruction, Muslims across the world would rise up in fury against Israel and the US rather than Iran? I can’t think of another explanation.

The paper I’ve been most obsessed with lately is finally out: nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…! Check out this beautiful plot: it shows how much LLMs distort human writing when making edits, compared to how humans would revise the same content.
We take a dataset of human-written essays from 2021, before the release of ChatGPT. We compare how people revise draft v1 -> v2 given expert feedback, with how an LLM revises the same v1 given the same feedback. This enables a counterfactual comparison: how much does the LLM alter the essay compared to what the human was originally intending to write? We find LLMs consistently induce massive distortions, even changing the actual meaning and conclusions argued for.
