“The difference is that the Strait of Hormuz - we know where it is and we know how large it is… the issue that we’re facing with Anthropic is that it’s the unknown, unknown.”

Someone get Donald Rumsfield his royalty check…

I can’t believe people are still using that shit.

Anyways,

AI companies are saying it’s a huge danger but are ever so graciously willing to sell it to existing corps to fix the vulnerabilies it can supposedly circumvent…

Before it circumvents them…

Even tho the AI companies are also saying it will be able to circumvent anything regardless.

And even if they tell people it can make something it cant also break (impossible) in 6 months they’ll repeat the process

A never ending cycle where they sell the shiny new model and corps pay for it because eventually hackers will have it too when it’s publicly released

And endless cat and mouse game where AI constantly accumulates more and more wealth.

It’s game over.

That hinges on if the US Navy will board and/or fire on a 3rd party tanker that Iran is letting pass.

Shippers have insurance now and they don’t care about the lives of their crews

With the price of gas, someone will order their ship to test it. If one goes thru, then a bunch will go at once.

Edit:

Hard to read around paywall, but article says trump is only “blockading” things going to/from an Iranian port…

Shit will just touch a port in another country first, not change cargo, and then sail right past…

Easy loophole, and still puts how bad this is, on if US ships will actually try to enforce anything

No, it’s literally Jesus…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_in_Islam#Apocalyptic_literature

Mohammed was just the most recent prophet, they still view Jesus as the Messiah, just not the literal son of God.

Like how the split between Catholics and Evangelicals is Catholics think he’s literally God, and Evangelicals think he was “just” a son…

The differences are incredibly minor.

This has never happened before!

…

Except for the last 13 years!

…

You know the KKK went after Catholics almost as hard as Black people…

Right?

That the whole “a Catholic president will just listen to the pope” was just an excuse to not elect a Catholic?

That Joe Biden’s memories of the good old days when Republicans wouldn’t stop telling him he was “one of the good ones” they were talking about him being Catholic yet siding with evangelicals?

Like, this ain’t new, it’s so old this is how they were brought up, and it goes both ways.

My Catholic grandmother didn’t talk to my mom, ever, because my mom was a different flavor of Christian than Catholic. MAGA boomers grew up during that schism, they 100% never saw themselves on the same side. They think of Catholicism like younger generations think of Mormonism.

What’s going to fuck trump up with Abrahmic religions of all flavors, is the AI pic of him as Jesus.

Was definitely not on my “Crazies of 2026” bingo card.

You’re gonna be really shocked when Muslim leaders start talking about how Jesus is coming back to save everyone then…

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade.

Well yeah…

Someone has to send the ships there for Trump to threaten to blow up.

Iran doesn’t ship their own oil, people go there to buy it.

Almost like every new version blames the last…

Nobody wants to join tRump’s war,

It’s obviously Bibi’s…

Trump was just dumb enough to get roped into it.

Like, they literally launched it the day before a Jewish holiday that celebrates attacking enemies, and trump admitted Bibi set the timetable and was going to attack without the US if we didn’t join…

But don’t let the actual facts get in the way of you’re opinions.

The Iranian leadership are crazy religious fanatics but they don’t strike me as stupid.

Even if they were completely devoted to their flavor of Abrhamic religion…

Ironically enough their prophecy requires Muslims and Christians to unite against the antichrist, and then Jesus (yes that Jesus) comes down and kills the antichrist and tells everyone to convert to Islam.

Then there’s a schism where Christians say Jesus saved everyone, and Muslims say that it was really God acting thru Jesus just like last time.

Like, that’s the most ridiculous part of it, that there’s still supposed to be beef after they both unite under Jesus against the antichrist.

And it’s why I fully have them cozying up to the fucking pope on my bingo card as my center square. Especially since their timeline has always been “over 2,000 years later”. They haven’t been kicking the can for centuries, this is when they always said it would happen.

If they want to bring about their end times, they’re gonna build a global multi-cultural opposition group to trump, because he clearly fits all the predictions for the anti-christ.

According to Islamic apocalyptics, having ascended to heaven and dwelled there for 2000+ years, Jesus will descend to earth shortly before Judgement Day, in the midst of wars fought against al-Masih ad-Dajjal ('The False Messiah") and his followers, to come to the aid of the Mahdi and his Muslim followers. Dressed in saffron robes with his head anointed, Jesus will descend at the point of a white minaret, in eastern Damascus, which is believed to be the Minaret of Isa in the Umayyad Mosque.[92] He will then greet the Mahdi and (being a Muslim) pray beside him. Eventually, Jesus will slay the Dajjal at Lod.[93]

Afterwards, he will “break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax”, according to a well-known Sahih al-Bukhari hadith.[94][95] “The usual interpretation” of this prophecy is that, being a Muslim, Jesus will put a stop to Christian worship of himself and in belief in his divinity, “symbolized by the cross”. He will re-establish the Kosher/Halal dietary laws abandoned by Christianity;[96] and because Jews and Christians will now all reject their former faith and accept Islam, there will be no more need for the jizya tax on unbelievers.[97]

But at least theirs has a goal of peace on Earth instead of hell on Earth:

After the death of the Mahdi, Jesus will assume world leadership and peace and justice will be universal.

He’s mad they let China thru…

So he’s going to say he’s stopping everything, but the only way things get to him to stop, is if Iran let it pass.

He doesn’t understand that when Iran lets someone thru, it’s Iran allowing them to be neutral.

trump sees it as them being allies of Iran and his enemies. Which makes them “valid targets” in his eyes.

Now we just have to see if he’ll really sink/seize a 3rd party tanker if it just goes thru anyways.

If he does, that’s pretty much ww3

Oh, yeah, it’s clearly against rule 3 and will probably be removed soon

Obviously not…

But I’m saying whether she runs or not, it literally doesn’t matter.

Because she has no chance of winning even a single delegate, just like her last attempts.

I don’t know how to make it any clearer

Intertanko is saying this…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association_of_Independent_Tanker_Owners

They’re third party shippers and if tankers have to pay, that’s their profits.

But the oil companies are gonna pay it anyways, be ause they get the increased profits from the price of oil.

It literally doesn’t matter if she does…

She’s never been able to get a single delegate in a primary, and the current DNC isn’t going to just hand it to someone.

Science doesn’t care about obvious, it cares about provable fact.

And loads of people all over the world survive longer than 6 hours at higher temps…

You should be made at the author for assuming humans can’t survive what they’ve been surviving longer than the author has been alive, regardless of how old they are.

If your first reaction to this sort of thing is “I did this and I’m fine”,

“This sort of thing” meaning:

The absolute limit for humans to survive

It’s obviously not the absolute limit, because loads of people survive it every day.

An operating steam engine room is not the harshest environment on the planet.

Next time you don’t understand something, try asking questions instead of getting belligerent about it tho.

When people do explain shit, it’s usually as a final reply before blocking.

Then who’s going to answer your inevitable follow up questions?

The absolute limit for humans to survive had been assumed to be a six-hour exposure to a wet bulb temperature of 35C (95F)—a measure that accounts for temperature and humidity but has rarely been observed on the planet at that level.

I don’t know who was making that assumption, but they obviously never went into a steam engine room before…

Like, obviously it’s terrible for you and you can’t do any physical activity, but I was 6 hours on, six hours off, in 110-120 wet bulb.

But when scientists applied a new model of human survivability that takes into account the body’s ability to function and stay cool depending on age, they found all six events had seen nonsurvivable periods for older people who could not find shade.

Fucking obviously the elderly are going to handle this worse, they handle everything worse.

Maybe there’s decent science somewhere, but this article is garbage

Let’s try again:

Having diabetes is the reason most people inject insulin.

Do you think that means:

1. Most people inject insulin.

2. Of the people who inject insulin, the most common reason for doing so is they have diabetes
