A thing that was very clear at the time is that while it’s true that the United States has a lot of leverage, Israel is a sovereign nation with its own politics, and Netanyahu was, in addition to leading a coalition of aspiring genocidaires, literally going to go prison if the war stopped

I see people putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs (speculative technology that will go away when the bubble pops), but I think the internet is the better comp. Sure there's some early bubble-y activity, but the underlying technology is real it's going to dramatically change things.

Hand-drawn Venn diagram titled "Bubbles," with four overlapping circles: Beanie Babies, AI, NFTs, and Dot-com.

Each alone: "Gamble on plushies!" / "Gamble on LLMs!" / "Gamble on JPEGs!" / "Gamble on HTML!"

Beanie Babies + AI: "The products tend to have cutesy first names."
Beanie Babies + NFTs: "Who will own the rarest fake monkey?"
AI + Dot-com: "Genuinely important underlying technology."
NFTs + Dot-com: "This URL could be worth millions!"

Every bubble but Dot-com: "Mostly in private markets."
Every bubble but NFTs: "Good people got hurt."
Every bubble but AI: "Never threatened life as we know it."
Every bubble but Beanie Babies: "Blame Silicon Valley."

All four: "Somebody got rich, but probably not you."

This Brit "bomb plot" is sounding more likely to be overblown. No explosive materials found, released on bail, not clear what if anything they've been charged with. Whatever it is, not a huge bombing narrowly prevented.

In reality, we now also know that persistent viral infection in Ebola survivors is not only a possible source of new outbreaks, but in fact a very serious problem - one that gets worse when we have major outbreaks, such as the 2014 epidemic in West Africa, or the current Bundibugyo virus outbreak.

Wait, is this true? From an Atlantic article about the religious-secular divide in Israel. The usual narrative is that the Holocaust proved the uselessness of assimilation, and one has to be pragmatic about survival, but if assimilation was in fact pragmatic survival - survivor's guilt?

"If you were visibly Jewish and spoke only Yiddish, you were less likely to have survived when the Nazis showed up. The Holocaust was a great filter. When Israel was founded, these secular elites recognized that their more religious and insular brethren had been nearly annihilated, and they were happy to create a new habitat where the religious could survive as a pitied minority in a state ruled by secular Jews.
