Reminds me of the day I realized that, during my lifetime, my country, the US, caused the death of 1M Iraqis -- for no apparent reason.

I'm not a fan of LLM's injecting themselves into PR/commit content. If you use multiple models, basically whichever one is operating git gets all the credit. But, even if you wrote all the code yourself, and just submitted the PR with Claude Code (or whatever) it would attempt to take credit for the changes.

I currently have rules in all of my skill files forbidding models from advertising themselves or taking credit.

This is one of the risks of dating a Mossad agent.

The people who trust bad information from LLMs are the same people who trusted bad information from search results and new articles, it just takes them less time to get bad information.

Well, the reason is the US president is PDF-file who is totally compromised...

Most people's definition of freedom isn't being bombed by the US and Israel.

US is to out of touch with reality, they want to put a Zionist who is generally hated by Iranians in power. Will never happen.

It had nothing to do with religion, that element is used to distract.

If Iran is unhappy with their government, they can deal with it. It is not a US problem in the slightest. Going to war with another country puts Americans at risk.

I don't understand. If US, Israel, Pakistan, etc can all have nuclear weapons, why can't Iran?

You really can't trust any western news about Iran. For whatever reason, western powers want to start a war with Iran so badly and the media is always ready to help start a war.

Another boring update from OpenAI. Why would I want an orchestration tool tied to one model? Part of the value of orchestration tools is using the most appropriate and/or cost effective model for the task, sub-task, etc
