U.S. officials reportedly pressed Israel over the past two weeks to launch a unilateral strike on Iran, hoping Israel would shoulder the political risks ahead of November's U.S. midterms.

I think this can pretty simply be explained by people’s desire to believe in an afterlife. If I believe theres a chance of a spiritual eternity its a small logical extension that is not confined to a single realm.

One key point @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social makes here is that if Dems win the midterms (and win in 2028), deploying congressional power creatively to unwind Elon Musk's sway over the government (contracts, etc) will be essential to any reconstruction: www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

Bars. '...they want to protect themselves from criticism when they become publicly traded... you have to hold a conference call with your shareholders every three months and tell them: “Our target for the last quarter was such and such. We didn’t meet it, but trust us... we’re saving humanity.”'
Screenshot of a Q&A with Michael (I) Jordan from an interview with French magazine Libération: https://www.di.ens.fr/~fbach/MJordan_ITW_Liberation_English.html

Since then, the sector has become divided over the question of slowing down. What do you think of these calls for regulation?

It’s theater. A way of saying: “Look, we’re the good guys.” In fact, they know they’re going to keep going and simply want to protect themselves by saying they’re protecting humanity. It’s a form of performative staging that consists of saying: “Save us, regulation needs to slow things down because we don’t know what we’re doing.” And at the same time, they would like to have total control over how they are regulated.

The heads of Anthropic and OpenAI, Dario Amodei and Sam Altman, are sending a contradictory message: one day, AI is going to save us from global warming; the next, it’s going to annihilate humanity. How do these statements fit into the context of future initial public offerings?

These companies are trying to attract attention. The cynicism lies in the fact that they want to protect themselves from criticism when they become publicly traded. When you’re publicly traded, you have to hold a conference call with your shareholders every three months and tell them: “Our target for the last quarter was such and such. We didn’t meet it, but trust us, we’re didn’t because we’re saving humanity.” It’s a ready-made excuse for avoiding accountability while pretending to be accountable. I also don’t think they have a very clear idea of their business model. What’s the product? OpenAI tells us it’s going to create a personal assistant. “Wonderful, I have an assistant that manages my shopping and my calendar, I don’t have to worry about it anymore!” OK, but that’s not all that important in people’s lives and for many will be as much an annoyance as a help.  It’s not what you could call the greatest invention in the world and alone does not justify the really massive expenditures.

They all took the same lesson from Elon’s fianancial manipulation. Just keep lying, the bigger the lie the better, it doesn’t matter if you never deliver - you weren’t wrong, you were just too ambitious a dreamer. Now set an even greater lie, capital will flow bc venture wants narratives not results
