One of the AI legends, Noam Shazeer, joins OpenAI! Google had acquired his company about 2 years ago for $2.7 billion! This was mostly an acquihire. He helped make Gemini competitive. This is a very big win for OpenAI and doubles the power of Noams there with @polynoamial☺️
My position on the Iran War was that it was worth a roll of the dice to try topple an existentially hostile anti-West regime when they were extremely weak at the start of the year.
This existentially hostile jihadist regime was at its lowest ebb in decades, which is exactly why it was worth attempting to exploit their weakness in an effort to destroy them once and for all.
It’s unlucky that the Iranian people didn’t/could not rise up at the same time, and it’s unlucky that Europe and domestic US opinion were so hostile to trying to topple the Iranian regime.
I’m glad that the Iranian regime took a mauling, so that they are now objectively weaker than they were before the war.
Iran lost fifty years of defense industrial base buildup, including their entire ballistic missile production chain, their centrifuge production capacity and key nuclear test facilities. Plus they lost several layers of their top military and political leadership. America did all this with less than 20 US deaths.
I pay respect to these fallen heroes who gave their lives for the defence of Western civilization. I am glad that Trump ultimately demonstrated restraint by holding back on military options that would have expanded the war/involved massive amounts of civilian suffering. I am glad that it did not become a boots on the ground war, as Tucker style PANICANS tried to wishcast.
I believe in studying our enemies. Our communist enemies often cite the following maxim from Vladimir Ilich Lenin: “You probe with bayonets: if you find mush, you push. If you find steel, you withdraw.”
Sadly for now the United States must withdraw. Hopefully the time will come soon when the West can finally topple this shithole regime for good.
Together with researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard, we published a study in NEJM AI showing how o3 Deep Research helped clinicians revisit previously unsolved rare pediatric disease cases, and find answers for families who had waited years.
شاهزاده رضا پهلوی در گفتوگو با روهیت کاچرو، دبیر امنیت جهانی در شبکه آی تی وی بریتانیا در پاسخ به پرسشی درباره «منطقی» نامیده شدن رهبری جدید جمهوری اسلامی از سوی ترامپ گفت: من روند رویدادها را بر اساس تیترهای خبری قضاوت نمیکنم.
President Biden replaced the Taliban with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Now President Trump is replacing the Islamic Republic with… the Islamic Republic.
Real peace doesn’t come from empowering tyrants.
My take on MOU.

🇮🇷 A nice moment after the match as both Mehdi Taremi and Mehdi Ghayedi made their way over to the stands and handed their jerseys to supporters, including fans carrying the Lion and Sun flag.
Both players have voiced support for the protests in Iran and proudly represent Bushehr, a province known for its warm-hearted people.
Iran’s Mehdi Taremi & Mohammad Mohebi said FIFA president Gianni Infantino was in their locker room pre-game saying he’d help
also said circumstances are unfair — took 5 hours to travel from Tijuana to LA yesterday (presumably because of immigration) & they have to leave tonight
🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING — World Cup “Disaster”
Mohammad Mohebi and Mehri Taremi Say:
“Not to Make Excuses but This Is Not a Fair Competition.”
Iranian Players argued they should arrive 2 days before matches instead of traveling, training, and playing while exhausted by 5 hours in Immigration Controls and Transit.
Iran 🇮🇷 2-2 🇳🇿 New Zealand
FANTASTIC GAME.
Both of these team won’t go far, at least one will get grouped but they will be fun to watch.
Bravo 👏🏽🇳🇿
Bravo 👏🏽🇮🇷
Best game of matchday 5.
As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for “peace”, the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8th and 9th.
This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime. To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.
Dealing with this regime will fail and we will all face the consequences. The regime’s 47-year war against the Iranian people continues. Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world.
The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them center in any negotiations and in their Iran policy. But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fall. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny.
