Iran has been divided into two BMOAs (ballistic-missiles operation areas) with Israel responsible for bombing Tehran and West/Central Iran, while the US deals with the coast and south eastern Iran.

Tehran is squarely in Israel’s target zone via Syrian airspace.

Also the lack of Iranian air defences mean almost all the weapons used are precision bombs via planes, but the US is testing out their own knock-off drones.

Yes.

I’d feel a lot less annoyed at my code being used to train the AI (without my consent) if the AI’s benefits weren’t funnelled into private pockets.

I’d feel a lot less annoyed at AI if it wasn’t constantly use to replace jobs and then fail at it. Actually, AI isn’t replacing jobs, it’s being used as an excuse to do layoffs while pretending your company is being innovative, so as not to scare off investors.

Without a profit motive there wouldn’t be ChatGPT Health, which is just faking medical skills while being wrong as often as a coin toss, in exchange for money. If I did that I’d be sued for negligence and/or fraud.

Who exactly is doing the “Mutually Assured” part for Iran?

If the US deploys a nuke in Iran:

• as long as it’s not an ICBM over adversaries, it won’t trigger immediate response systems. Tactical nuke would probably be the choice.
• Russia won’t nuke the US back for this. China won’t nuke the US back for this. Iran doesn’t have nukes, though could do a dirty bomb or something – but that’s not consistent with MAD. Pakistan is cozying up to the US for their war in Afghanistan, and India isn’t highly aligned. There’s no way the EU would nuke the US in retaliation, they’d only deploy them defensively.
• As much as I would want, I can’t see Canada or Europe severing all ties with the US or going to war over it, which would be the only acceptable responses.

I do not want the US to do this, they absolutely shouldn’t, but I fear they could do it and it would stir up only a tepid response from protesters and not governments.

I don’t know, Hegseth just came out and said they definitely do today. It was probably totally unrelated to this.

Would the Trump administration lie?

In the hands of experts these are definitely useful. I’ve always felt that.

Ai should be used to augment humans, not replace them.

Unfortunately we have idiots making decisions looking at the sycophant BS machine without knowing what the job actually does

This is a scam

I can see the posts, but if this were real it wouldn’t be a comment, it would be a message from the mods.

Which wins son be suspicious as fuck.

I assumed this would happen or they would have taken less than nearly a week to do it.

If they cared they’d have rushed this vote on Saturday or Sunday. They don’t. They never have, never will.

I have little faith the international community would sufficiently sanction and punish this.

Wait, what?!

You can’t really use an iPad as a laptop. The hardware exists and should work, but the software is awful.

It’s often several seconds to switch to Safari on my iPad Pro with M series chip. We’ve had app switching in computers for 40 years. Why can’t iPad do it?

This technology was not ready for release, yet they released it.

They do deserve to be sued, this was negligence.

Lebanon can’t catch a break.

Yeah but he’s stupid enough to try.

And if someone talks him down he’s going to try using their runways anyways.

I hate him. I’ll never forgive or forget how shitty the US is right now, and it will never be able to pretend this was a blip.

This is either a war or an international war crime and you have to remove him plus Hegseth from office.

Decide you fleckless sycophants.

If the US tries to embargo Spain what happens?

I assume the entire EU then has to embargo the US, right?

The US does not exactly have credibility on this topic

I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets overstimulated at the grocery store.

Costco drives me insane. I like Costco but not being in Costco.

Oh, well it sucks and I don’t use it.

They’ve been saying that since XP

If it bleeds they can bill it!

If it bleeds they can bill it!

Here and now, take a stand

Here and now, take a stand

We can bring down this bastard

We can bring down this bastard

If we stick to the plan!

If it bleeds, if it bleeds!

If it bleeds, they can bill it
