What makes you not believe it like what's your epistemic process around that? You don't believe the americans/israelis could be so careless/ruthless as to bomb a school for their military objectives? This is not 100% proof but I'm sure you can research it further instead of objecting without reasoning. That's the problems when the Americans fight their war it's the innocent foreign people that pay the price not them. This is a good video that explains that the war against Iran was predicted in terms of US foreign policy under Trump for years since his close alliance with AIPAC and Saudi Arabia. Prof Jiang is legit I'm gonna have to watch a few more of his videos to try and understand what might happen going forward and what is at play for the next few years.

This is a good video where he explains the asymmetric economic warfare being played where at least 2 US radar bases were destroyed one valued at $300 million and the other at $1 billion by $30K shaheh drones. With the strait of hormuz being still closed by the IRGC it seems to be mostly economic objectives that are being pursued at the moment.

Whoever is currently in power has very unclear objectives, hard to say what they're trying to accomplish strategically besides lashing out. If you teleported me in the Iranian HQ I would be going the humanitarian route and getting the UN on my side going down the US and Israel are war criminals angle and getting international support. It didn't seem like the wellbeing of their country was their priority even beforehand so randomly lashing out and bombing the infidels and planning some kind of symbolic revenge is the path I unfortunately assume they're gonna keep taking. Let's hope they really didn't manage to successfully enrich uranium otherwise deploying a nuclear weapon weapon against Israel or the states would be their hail mary if they're gonna go the religious martyr route.

The US has military bases and troops all over the middle east which is what Iran is targeting.

What was his prediction and what was it based on?

@zazen Let's be intellectually honest, you can call the US administration demonic pedophiles that seems fairly accurate but to call Ali Khamenei a spiritually revered leader is insane. He was a brutal dictator with 10% approval rating who just massacred tens of thousands of people. I piss on his image and memory and you trying to martyr him is shameful. He's part of the problem of egotistical men ruining this earth for us all with their will to oppress others.

You gotta go for the reference experience; why not? Worst case leave after like 1 hour is what I usually tell myself but usually it's fine enough to stay for a bit.

New agency vlog, covering how I'm starting to learn AI agents for my business and other projects and how I do my instagram ads to get clients. Recommend this one especially if you've never gotten a paid client before and want to learn how.

It's illegal on many levels. International law has to become a forefront issue after this and the unsanctioned maduro operation.

Its said that supreme leader Ali Khamenei is now dead. Will the death of the authoritarian lead to more freedom for the people or even more oppression in the power vacuum?

I doubt a power vacuum will help take Iran towards progressivism. They just got hundreds of people killed by the west. Iran also has one of the largest standing armies in the world, mostly to suppress its populace some people say. Whoever takes the place will of the leader if he dies will lead a similar style of government and now come at it from a position of being martyred IMO. If we look at it in terms of game theory, the uranium enrichment provides plausible deniability for both parties. Gives the US a "valid" reason to bomb them and gives the new leadership a way to make peace with the US while ultimately still controlling and exploiting the population which is the hidden game theory incentive of any corrupt leadership.

The elites are not a monolith. They are made up of various interest groups that are usually infighting. Right now the legal system of the US and international law will be stress tested to its limit towards that goal.

I think this is one of the biggest cases unfolding on the planet at the moment. AI warfare and AI law enforcement have to be the top issue of the next decade and Anthropic and it's CEO are fighting for more transparency and less authoritarianism around it as we speak. Shoutout to it's CEO Dario Amodei for standing up for what he believes in. We're witnessing the next evolution in law enforcement and the monopoly of force. It won't be long before AI CCTVcameras all over the country are linked to Police Robots and we've either made it it to 1984 or a no violence utopia. Everyone will stand against mass surveillance and AI law enforcement but I think it's a much more nuanced debate then that. Law enforcement and surveillance are key to prosperity in our societies. The reason a mall is a fun place to go to is because it has security guards, cameras and quick access to cops. The same concept applies to our cities and countries as a whole. I think it's beautiful that this is happening right as the epstein situation is resurfacing at the top of US and european elite circles. This shows that government and law enforcement are not solved issues and the flaws in the system are appropriately being revealed now. If we get it wrong it's easy to image dystopian scenarios that will happen but I think that's not very interesting and lazy intellectualism. We should be using our brains to collectively ensure that we get this right and usher in a new era of peace and collaboration for our species.

I think this case will serve to unite mankind. Beforehand there was a clear narrative that the US is the culmination of western thought and has stood to face its various enemies starting from the Nazis to the Soviet union and now Russia and China. Now it's obvious that the US doesn't have moral ground to stand on against the chinese system. The next system that comes will take that into account. It will unfold over the next few years. AI agents are gonna be huge as they are the next frontier of power that will permeate human society. How do we figure what power they should have? That's the case going on with anthropic vs the department of war right now.
