Big thanks to @slate.com's What Next for having me on to talk about the never quite ending but never quite restarting US-Iran war slate.com/podcasts/wha...
Trump’s Forever War
Repeating “the war is won” until it’s called “the Iran Mantra affair.”
slate.com
Every war incurs a debt, one whose true cost can never be fully measured. Everyone who serves pays something. Birthdays and wedding anniversaries are missed. A child’s first steps pass unseen. Time is surrendered. Yet war is an unforgiving creditor. These are the soldiers who paid the full measure.
Differences obviously, but the news that an OpenAI model could break out of an isolated testing environment onto the open internet and hack another company's systems....kinda made me think about the models running on isolated systems at Los Alamos www.vox.com/technology/4...
Is AI the new “Manhattan Project”? Vox went to Los Alamos to find out.
How they’re using AI at the lab that created the atom bomb.

Everyone whose response to the headline is 'well, I knew'. Congrats. Gold medal to you. It's not referring to you specifically

As the war resumes, Iran's long-range capabilities may be greater than we thought, and the risks to US troops are only growing. @joshuakeating.bsky.social www.vox.com/politics/496...

My latest piece for @vox.com asks, when did the world stop being afraid of Russia's nukes? www.vox.com/politics/494...
Why Putin’s nuclear threats aren’t working anymore
Ukraine is striking deep into Russia and pressuring Crimea. Does Putin have any “red lines” anymore?

No one has seen Mojtaba Khamenei since he became supreme leader. No photos or audio recordings. He didn't appear at the funeral for his wife last week and is, so far, a no-show at the commemorations for his father. It's getting weird. My latest for @vox.com www.vox.com/politics/493...
Iran’s new supreme leader is a no-show at his father’s funeral. Where is he?
The new supreme leader’s absence from public view has exposed a deeper problem: Iran’s old power structure may not work anymore.

Is the Iran war really over? From the strait, to nukes, to Lebanon, there are a lot of unanswered questions and many ways this could still go sideways. My latest for @voxdotcom.bsky.social www.vox.com/politics/491...
The Iran war’s end is being greatly exaggerated
There are many questions unresolved in the latest ceasefire deal and many ways the conflict could begin again.

“[Trump] may actually be gearing the US up for a version of Israel’s ‘mowing the grass’ strategy: periodic military interventions to keep its enemies off balance, with no real end in sight.” www.vox.com/politics/491...

Important new @joshuakeating.bsky.social piece: If you're still paying under $5/gallon for gas, or if you're the U.S. president and *not* presiding over a completely tanking economy because of the war you started for no reason, you can thank China for the help. www.vox.com/politics/491...
