You cannot make billions dollars with hurting, exploiting, and crushing other people on the way there. If there's an ethical way to do it, we haven't seen it manifest yet. That level of personal wealth should viewed with fear, not admiration.

An article claiming US troops were told the Iran War is meant "to cause Armageddon" and usher in a return of Jesus Christ made waves on Bluesky yesterday. We saw at least 2,250 posts that repeated its core claims.
The story could be legit, but this article raises some reasons to be skeptical.

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever

I have always considered one of my top strengths as a journalist/researcher to be that I never hesitate to say βI donβt know.β Not gonna waste your time or mine, or insult your intelligence by blabbering platitudes and bullshit.

When your lawyer starts letting it loose in the prose, you should know your case is on its death bed. This is what people do when they donβt have any evidence to back themselves up, they just start repeating themselves and trying to dress it up

Jack Posobiec, Jan 28. 2024: Nikki Haley is now calling for full war with Iran
This isn't vague
She is the WW3 candidate, she stating it openly
Wesley Hunt, Oct. 1 2024: "FLASHBACK: 2020 Joe Biden claimed President Trump will get us into a war with Iran.
Do you think this aged well?"
Cory Mills, Feb. 2 2024: "We must get President Trump back in the White House in 2024. Biden is driving us to WWIII and full regional destabilization.
Under Trump we had adversaries at bay, allies strengthened, Abram Accords pushing towards Middle East stability, Israel safe, Russia not advancing in Ukraine, crippling sanctions against Iran, elimination of Abu Bakr (ISIS), Qasim Solamani (Quds Force), and Abu Mehdi (Iraq militia leader), shipping lanes clear of Houthi attacks/ disruption, China was not threatening Taiwan. The border was secured.
America and the world was safer!"
Kari Lake, Jan. 28 2024: "Last night, three American service members were killed in a drone attack by Iranian forces.
My heart and deepest condolences go out to their families.
This is a consequence of the current Administration destabilizing the Middle East. President Trump proposed peace through strength and was working to bring peace to the Middle East and beyond.
We must return to that peace through strength."
We checked back in our datasets to see what some of the most-popular Truth Social posts discussing US military conflict with Iran were like when Trump was running for president in 2024.
The tone sure has changed over there in the last few days.

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.

They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.

Anthropic gets booted from the Pentagon for not wanting to power mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, then OpenAI gets a Pentagon contract that bans mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Someone is obviously leaving something significant out.

It's a nerve-wrecking time to be doing this kind of work right now. Government leaders and their allies have threatened to retaliate (and in some cases have followed through) against the people who do it, and it's so important we support those who are taking those risks to fight for what's right.

GPAHE has to be one of the most under-rated research orgs in the game right now. So many groups have been skittish in the second Trump era, afraid of criticism or partisan attacks, but this team keeps calling balls and strikes without fear of ruffling feathers.
