Copilot will never go away. The only way you can get that thing off your computer is by removing Windows. The AI bubble is gonna burst but Microsoft is still gonna have LLMs baked into their OS.
It is very funny that we seem to have this conversation every time Trump threatens to do something. When it comes to the military, he never bluffs. Once the assets start moving, it's gonna happen. Just a matter, as you said, of scale and of when.
100% they're gonna do something in the islands at the mouth of the strait. They can't even get to Kharg island, and it's irrelevant for changing anything about the war. Every day the strait remains in Iranian control, billions of dollars are lost. Taking Kharg does nothing to change that. Attempting to take like Lark island or something would
You can train most mammals, because mammals are generally smart and understand rewards, so yeah I imagine you could train squirrels.
"Me and the Ayatollah are gonna control the Strait"
Think of President Xi: central casting, brilliant guy. When I say he’s brilliant, everyone says, ‘Oh, that’s terrible.’ He runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist: smart, brilliant, everything perfect. There is nobody in Hollywood like this guy,
Trump said in remarks from the White House’s State Dining Room. Xi called over to aides, Trump said, noting the Chinese president has "got people standing behind him. Everyone is central casting – central casting. Glasses. Pad. Boom.”
100%, Chainsaw Man should just be like a monthly release or even longer. Honestly there's very few manga that could not be improved by only releasing volumes, no weekly releases at all. It's insane the industry as a whole still does weekly releases.
I have to imagine Fujimoto wanted out of his contract or whatever, was kind of bored with Chainsaw Man, and totally burnt out from weekly releases. It wasn't a terrible ending, just not fleshed out and insanely quick. We were knee deep in the shit just two chapters ago, and then all of that is just gone and it's like "yeah it's over." Thematically it makes sense, so it's not awful or anything, just rather sad that it all just ends so quickly and there's little permanence or growth.
Sad part is they won't get fucked because they can produce the underlying asset. If it costs them like $60 a barrel to pump (which would be very high, most oil can be produced for far less than that) then they're still making $40 of profit. Their only "loss" is the opportunity cost of making even more profit had they not sold these futures contracts.
I don't think it means oil majors think it'll end any time soon, they're just banking so locked in long term profits now to smooth out any price volatility in the months ahead. There's little downside for them.
It's 100% this; Miller cares more than anything about mass deportations and creating a white ethno-state. For him, Iran is just a distraction from his domestic agenda.

The AI slop is here to stay unfortunately. The bubble will pop and like 99% of AI companies will die, but LLMs are actually very easy to run locally AND at least one of the big AI companies will "win" and capture most of the AI traffic, kind of like how Google "won" search. As models get more efficient all those data centers are gonna be unnecessary, but they'll only become unnecessary because it's easy to run frontier models on your own phone or whatever. AI slop will never disappear, that's a Pandora's box that cannot be closed.
