NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

There will be many dumb takes presenting Anthropic heroically bc it clashed with Trump. But the time to worry about everything concerning Anthropic was BEFORE signing the contract that it didn't wish to abandon. America is in such steep decline that we don't even make Oppenheimers like we used to.

Clearly I am headed in the pathway to one day being able to press a car over my head and toss it back and forth from one hand to the other. And the weight continues to grow every single year exponentially.

But were you seeking to destroy the Islamic Republic, you would want to generate lots of targets, through extant surveillance and analysis of webs of association emanating outward from the regime and in particular the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. You would want to further be able to know where those targets are in pretty close to real time and when they are in undefended positions like their homes. You would want to generate a dynamic map of everyone who represents support lent to the regime, something that sounds to outsiders like "the senior ranks of decisionmakers" but in practice looks more like anyone who draws a government paycheck or provides the government with necessary services. In other words, you would want something like Israel's Lavender, Gospel and Where's Daddy AI programs, which were components of the decimation of Gaza.
The Pentagon wants to use Anthropic to go to war with Iran. Why? @attackerman.bsky.social thinks it is using the war on Gaza as a template: www.forever-wars.com/the-scent-of...

CHEERS: coming up with the phrase "Corolla-sized vermin"
JEERS: using it to argue for slaughtering sea lions
The Rise of Skywalker is the single most "hope you fuckers like slop" thing I've ever seen

A military attack on another country is called a war; saying it's just a military 'confrontation' or a 'calibrated strike' diminishes the severity of the act, regardless of whether it leads to region-wide conflict.
Something to keep in mind in the non-debates on Iran.
Hosting the first meeting of something called the “Board of Peace” while you’re about to start an unprovoked war with Iran is fantastically in character for the US government.
