Let’s say the model is indeed groundbreaking but needs much more compute that they have, I wonder would merging Anthropic and OpenAI be on the table.

We have many videos of protests in Iran even though they shut down internet, but somehow we have no videos of mass killings or even small scale murders.

There is 0 evidence that many people died.

Let’s not parrot that media propaganda.

Yet we live in a very violent world, some people are definitely ok with it.

Or I missed a hint and you’re dehumanizing them?

Can’t believe your comment is being downvoted.

Covid clearly showed how crisis can only benefit the rich and powerful.

AI being used to cut the headcount can somehow be, good? It will just fill the pockets of the powerful.

Maybe because people got used to violence being used against them?

All this violence against the innocent in various places and levels, and you think it’s weird that people are fine with violence used against a billionaire conman?

There is also one big thing, Europe even though it tries with the EU, is still a group of countries, not a single country.

It’s a lot easier for a business in one US state to expand to another one, but cross border business expansion in EU is still difficult.

People speak different languages, bureaucracy is different and often in a different language as well etc.

On top of that businesses are a lot more regulated than in the US.

You know we have cheaper and faster model that are now at the level of previous flagship models?

You even have models you can run locally that outperform models from a year or so ago.

They conveniently placed one person from Hamas to each house in Gaza. Right?

It’s well known that US doesn’t commit war crimes, they just make mistakes.

Yeah, like they attacked Syria, or Lebanon, or Tunis, or Iraq, or Libya.

Statements from Trump should be completely ignored, which Iran is effectively doing.

It’s as if he’s just options trading.

I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if he attacked those power plants this evening.

On what basis should NATO get involved?

US and Israel sneak attacked Iran during negotiations that presumably were going very well.

Iran is attacking only the countries that were involved in the attacks.

US affected war risk insurance by sinking Iranian ship, this will to although probably not much.

Let’s compare it to Lancet then.

Lancets were miles better than Switchblades.

AFAIK Switchblades were used only in first months of the war then completely abandoned.

Guy is full of it though. Iranian drones are very effective while American Switchblade drones shit the bed completely in Ukraine.

We have US cloning Iranian drones now https://www.euronews.com/2026/03/10/flm-136-americas-cheap-i...
