It's largest based on length and mass as well. Why only look at wingspan/width?

It is clearly dominated by the left. Look at r/politics for example....

Neat idea!

I think it would be cool if you can host a simulation and enable online viewers. Have the simulation accessible from a website (god-mode disabled of course), and have an agent generate some sort of newspaper or news bulletin of interesting things that happen.

How does it compare to the realtime-2 model?

I wonder why they don't compare it to their existing live voice model realtime-2.

This is not true. Realtime 2 can use tools.

They launched more mass to space than every other entity on planet earth combined last year.

The US actually did just that when it retired the shuttle program. We had to rely on Russia to get to the space station.

It literally wasn't. It was an ouster pushed by Trump. From your own article:

"Prominent pro-Israel GOP donors have funneled millions more into a super PAC stood up by President Donald Trump’s political operation"

> And wait till you find out you find out who Epstein et al. were working for.

Oooh, please tell me. I'm all ears.

The day after October 7th, Israel was attacked from Lebanon. Israel has every right to do what it is doing to secure its northern border. Any country on earth would do the same.

To me it seems like just "the current thing" that the media is accusing trump of. In his first term it was russaigate. If Trump was in the Epstein files in any meaningful way you think the Biden administration wouldn't have leaked it?

> AIPAC-driven ouster

Yeah, i definitely had nothing to do with him accusing his party of protecting pedophiles and repeatedly voting with the left to block Trumps agenda. It must have been the jews.

You would not call the the US enforcing a blockade as a defensive tactic. It is offensive, as is what Iran is doing. Defensive would mean defending ships navigating the strait.

Here are two articles Reuters wrote about how the war in Ukraine was going to do something similar in 2022[1][2]. Make of this what you will.

Here's a video of Trump in 2015 talking about how he would make sure Iran never got a bomb [1]. Crazy that the Israelis we're already planning it then.

> Nobody credible said or believed Iran was making nuclear weapons.

Tell that to Iran's former parliamentary deputy speaker who said 'When we began our nuclear activity, our goal was indeed to build a bomb. There is no need to beat around the bush.'[1]

I don't think it's "stealing land" when you have to invade your neighbor to stop rocket attacks on your cities.

What do you mean no weapons to defend themselves? They have plenty of weapons...
