The #US military said Wednesday that it launched more strikes on #Iran targets in response to Tehran’s attack on US forces in the #MiddleEast. The latest barrage came after the US partnered with #SaudiArabia to strike Iran-backed militias in neighboring #Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters & 6 Iranian advisers.

#Trump had vowed to retaliate after Iran targeted a base in Jordan that hosts US troops.

US military launches strikes on Iranian targets a day after it foiled missile attack on US forces

The renewed hostilities sent oil prices spiking. Brent crude, the international standard, jumped 3.1% to $84.58 a barrel.

so AI is a grift exactly because the Aleph that it is selling is an illusion.

it doesn’t mean that LLMs, as statistical models, are inherently bad. what it does mean is that the #AI that actually do work are:

1. heavily curated
2. developed by experts
3. for very specific tasks

the AI identifying cancer tumors don't know all the histories of oncology and all the cancers. they were trained with narrow & specific parameters for one type of cancer.

we don't need ecocidal data centers to run an #LLM.

you need ecocidal data centers if you are, like #Qatar #SaudiArabia, using #AI to continue peddling the petroleum and methane (natural gas) of your geopolitical power.

someone posted that this techbros dystopia is a symptom of two generations being told “liberal arts” are worthless.

i agree.

the irony being what techbros so desperately mimic with their stochastic parrots is the unique, creative knowledge of us liberal arts losers.
