Techbro feudalists are all in on AI. They promised it would replace the human workforce and got initial investments and repeated support from money that should have been smarter then that, but the allure of firing all their workers proved too strong.
Now, they’re sitting on a trillion dollar house of cards. They’ll continue to fail upward. The correction will be delayed as they all move money between each other to cover bad investments.
At least Dutch tulips provided actual value. They could be planted and grow to be something real. LLM “AI” was always a scam.
The spice won’t be flowing from there for 3-5 years, and the strikes continue and can be escalated at any time while the completely unnecessary and tragic war against Iran unfolds.
If this terminal upward spiral in petroleum fuel prices continues, it may actually force a global green revolution in energy.
The best time to do it was 50 years ago, but now also works. Maybe just in time to save a little ice at the poles for tourists to visit.
Trump and his administration opposed the previous strikes on oil facilities due to the images of fires and the resulting surge in prices. However, in the case of gas, this appears to be less of a concern, the Israeli official explained.

They think if they can spin a few press cycles, no one will notice the war they started during peace negotiations.
Can’t help but think they believe some massive press event is going to distract everyone’s attention. Again.
Shatner and Nichols intentionally butchered every take that didn’t involve them kissing and made television history doing so.
I hope that moving forward Trek keeps that same spirit no matter how oppressive the new corporate regime may be.
You can tell from his statement that he’s a diehard Trumper. He’s genuinely pleading to Trump to wake up and see what a terrible mistake he’s made.
His principled loyalist faction in the GOP seems to think it’s a Wormtongue/Theoden situation with Israel/AIPAC on the Iran War. They’re in for a surprise when reality hits, but it’s a good thing that they’re starting to get to the point that the cognitive dissonance can no longer be resolved.
Iran may not be a combatant in Ukraine, but it’s gained experience in drone warfare through the use of its Shaheds by Russia.
Drones have fundamentally changed how wars are fought, and Ukraine is at the bleeding edge of how to use that technology effectively on the battlefield. Their technical assistance is absolutely invaluable and deserves a hefty price tag.
