Not the main item in this Triad, but of note: "We should regulate the ever-loving fuck out of these AI companies. AI is not a genie. It’s a machine. And society decides when and how it allows machines to be used."

The Iranian people have taken to the streets to celebrate the death of Ali Khamenei.

In Iran, air power alone will not reshape the regime. Since WWI, dozens of U.S., Israeli & allied air campaigns have tried to force political change — none installed friendly governments. None! They strengthen nationalism and intensify resistance.

I wrote last June about the difference between preventive and preemptive strikes

Like the whole organisation of the German peoples is completely arbitrary. And the German in Germany don't like each other. If we could, we would go separated ways again.

Viele der gleichen Accounts, die auf X Putin verurteilen, feiern gerade Trump ab. Man mag den Iran moralisch verurteilen, sich den Sturz des Regimes in Teheran herbeiwünschen, aber faktisch führen sowohl Trump im Iran als auch Putin in der Ukraine Angriffskriege mit dem Ziel Regimewechsel.
