You can say what you want about Iran but they're definitely pretty unique in their communication: never seen a country threaten another with a math equation before ๐
For those who didn't get it: there is a famous monetary policy formula used by the Fed called the "Taylor rule" that says a central bank's policy rate (i) should equal the neutral real rate (r*) plus target inflation (ฯ*), plus 1.5 times the inflation gap and 0.5 times the output gap (the "i = r* + ฯ* + 1.5(ฯโฯ*) + 0.5(yโy*)" part of Ghalibaf's formula).
Ghalibaf adds ฮฑ(SOHโSOH*) and ฮฒ(BEMโBEM*): SOH referring to the Strait Of Hormuz and BEM to Bab El-Mandeb. Both have positive coefficient, meaning the more those chokepoints are choked, the higher the rate the Fed would have to set to fight the resulting inflation.
In a nutshell this is Ghalibaf trolling the Fed, telling them that Iran is - in a very real way - setting American monetary policy.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Do yall see how small that print is? Do you see how long this sign is?? Benjamin Netanyahu is a monster and anyone who supports him can go to hell with him!
