Excellent post on some potential “limits to innovation” and why e-fuels, space data centers, asteroid mining, etc just never make economic sense: https://t.co/6O1ZNgX5NS

PICARD: Data, shields up

DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS

DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

This is the most perfectly uncanny piece of AI-assisted writing I've seen--and a great tutorial on how to identify AI text. The OP is a captain! But the tell for AI isn't rhythm, wording, or fact errors. It’s that problems with *all these elements* exist equally & at once. (1/7)

Singapore is a high trust society and doesnt have a homogenous culture.

Different races and ethnic groups packed into a small space yet you can walk around at 3am drunk with cash hanging out of your pocket and a $100k watch on your wrist and no one will do anything

If Americans could read 4 whole pages of text, we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.

Multiple things can be, & in this case are, true at once.

The UAE is livid that 🇺🇸🇮🇱 launched this war of choice, knowing full well that Iran’s plan was to attack neutral GCC states.

It’s even more livid at Iran, which has been bombing civilian infrastructure here since Day 1.

Gap between what Trump says and what mainstream media outlets like the Times say he's saying is roughly the size of the Grand Canyon. Sanewashing is an insufficient word.

Absolutely stunning statistic here

The strategy of a “double-tap” strike, bombing first, waiting, and bombing again, is to kill survivors, rescuers, civilians and emergency medical workers. This is why the Geneva Conventions define this double-tapping as a potential war crime.

In the case of the school in Minab, the US in the second strike was killing parents in horror over the children being killed in a surprise attack and trying to find them.

This is the greatest number of civilians killed by the US military since the My Lai Massacre in the Vietnam War.

This strike on schoolgirls was perpetrated on the very first day of the war. When all strikes were meticulously planned in advance.

Israel is the only place in the world where civilians drive tanks 😭

[Krysia McKechnie @KrysiaJ]

Absolute sensationalist rubbish here from @thetimes. It does not cost 5-10k to drive to Oman unless you’re an idiot. Why would you need ex-military drivers? Where do they think Oman is? Afghanistan?

Already, the threat assessment in the Gulf about regional security threats is very different from their main Western allies. The Gulf broadly sees two main destabilising actors in the region: Iran and Israel. That is still controversial in most Western policy arenas.

@yarotrof Excellent quote from the most internationally well-known & respected, I’d say, Emirati academic—Sultan al-Qassemi.

He’s a reliable thinker & expert on Arab modern art who lectures at Yale & organises art exhibits (including a great one on Palestine!) here in Dubai.

He’s right.

What all of this madness looks like from a reasonable standpoint.

99% of ai is people who have never been able to code being amazed by AI’s ability to create very simple front end interfaces with basic database backends to automate mundane tasks

marketers are absolutely printing off this

Any society where children have to say this is well on the road to fascism

What ICE is doing to our children is unconscionable.
