Now published through @CarnegieEndow – "Iran’s Cyber Threat: Espionage, Sabotage, and Revenge" – the decade long history of Iranian cyber operations against foreign and domestic targets. By me and @ksadjadpour. https://t.co/NQvnAl4Fpm

@ayatr0llah @websterkaroon Like having too much caffeine, nothing hallucinogenic or wild, that’s why it’s social, casual. Tastes like eating a mixture of like mint and bitter herbs, with a similar aftertaste. Very meh.

@jacobin hold up, what timeline am i in?

[cda @CDA]

@IranWonk @ReemRifai_ Have a hard time guessing who would even be the first? There isn't an independent labor/oligarchical base like Tunisia. No military or religious fissure like Egypt. So then who goes first?

[cda @CDA]

@russellkdegraff Don't worry. It's not going away.

[cda @CDA]

@websterkaroon @baldnial That's sort of the trend for the remainder. It's not bad, or cringe or dripping with sentimentality, like other Iranian diaspora fiction. But it's underwhelming and you'll figure out the plot half way through. (Not to spoil.)

@DavidAndersen73 @ANAXIFORM_INGES Thank you. This was bothering me. Couldn't place it.

@deanwball Also, glad you've read Seeing Like the State but "head of strategic futures" at a frontier A.I. lab is the most high modernist title possibly imaginable. Cut it out with the faux populism, James C. Scott hates you from the grave.

@deanwball Dean, GPT-5.6 is absolute trash and maybe OpenAI should fix that before thinking it can reinvent the social safety net from techno-libertarian first principles.

@NatPurser would suggest they actually mean LLMs specifically

[cda @CDA]

@freedaaron Hope so! Reading Bell and Inglehart nowadays, haunts of the class structure of the New Left and post-industrialism – a middle class rebellion then over Vietnam, now economic downward mobility.

@MenchOsint Have we considered whether Iran might be using Polymarket bets on the conflict to offset oil revenues?

@hmajd His original attempt at organizing defections from the security forces was a form on a Google Doc. My pet theory is that the 50,000 number comes from the IRGC trolling (or muddying the waters) through en masse false registrations.

@alexstamos @growing_daniel I wonder how much 3D printers is an instructive model. Rapacious copying of foreign competitors and a domestic open source (by differing definitions) ecosystem such that Chinese manufacturers first competed on price, and then based on product quality (Bambu).

@arash_tehran Clinton-ian level of triangulation here, Arash.

@hanifzk You're just bragging about being at the game, aren't you?
