Are you referring to the new government Iran that took over after their leadership has been removed?

They're likely referring to the government that controls Hormuz straight.

If that is the case why do I see this comment every 5 minutes?

Yea, it is funny in /r/worldnews. Everytime Trump says something, there will be a thousand comments describing why everyone should ignore everything he says..

If Ashli Babbitt hadn't listened to Trump, maybe she'd still be alive and enjoying life with her family today.

Does North Korea send missiles and drones to it's neighbors?

Yes. North Korea has a long history of exporting arms and missile technology to both its neighbors and further afield, including to Iran.

The consequences to everyone that isn't as well fed as yourself are also good for you morally?

Nothing keeps the people well feed like the inability to grow crops.

More short term thinking

Well, it seems to me that the liberal left agenda was kind of hijacked by big corporations. It used to be that Democrats cared about things like equal pay, labor conditions, education costs. Now it is all about abstract things that don’t matter in the real world: animal rights and carbon emissions.

The “long term thinking” you allude to is just a mind trick to keep you at bay.

I think people are more concerned about the massive deindustrialization and famines which could result from the Strait of Hormuz being chaotically strangled, not the hit to their pocket books at the gas pump

What's it like living without worry?

"Green movements" look for a planned transition away from oil that doesn't cause worldwide economic disaster. The whole motivation is to prevent human suffering, not increase it.

That this makes you wonder indicates that you fundamentally misunderstand the entire point of environmental movements.

Further, even if there was "celebrating" how would you know? Are you involved with the groups politically working towards those ends? Perhaps you should question your information diet, rather than assuming that your information diet is representative of reality.

It is nice to be rich. People in India and Asia are heavily reliant upon oil and gas coming through the strait. When prices shoot up by a multiple, guess what happens? The poorest people have to do without cooking gas. “Rationing” is a cute word to mean the poor take the hit on the chin.

There is enormous, real suffering hitting those who can least handle it.

Edit: I would add that those in the renewables industry are absolutely making lemonade off the situation. Energy analysts agree that short term profits will go up, but long term, everyone is going to be running to renewables. No country wants to have this existential fuel disruption risk hanging over their heads.

I'm just thinking of youtube or amazon type algorithms applying here.

me: "Hi AI, can you debug this SQL Statement?"

ai: "Well,based on your passion for garden hoses and extensive research of refrigerators, I'm going to guess you really want to discuss that"

I've had to remove any of the "knowledge" about me from any agent I use. "As a security engineer, blah blah blah" or "as a rust developer blah blah blah" even though my questions has nothing to do with those topics and they're a huge distraction.

Yeah, I've disabled memory in everything I use. It's super distracting to have it infer connections between conversations where there is none. It's also kind of sleazy feeling. Like, manipulative in the sense that it thinks it knows what I'm into so it's going to weave that into the conversation.

If we didn't have evidence that these things cause something like psychosis in some people, it'd seem innocent. But, since the sycophancy combines with the long-term relationships some people think they're having with matrix math to trigger serious mental health problems, it feels more sinister.

Anyway, having a long-term memory makes them dumber and more easily confused. I don't have any use for a dumb agent.

It's usually drastically better than humans. Most humans can't code. If you are comparing it to specialists then you are already admitting they are on their way to replacing us.

It’s meant to either act as a complement and/or substitute for humans. So it should be measured against those who get paid. Otherwise what is the firm paying for..?

Not true at all. Most projects I wouldn't hire a UX expert but I am happy to get feedback on it from AI

Profit maximizing often involves selling much cheaper and lower quality versions of your products. Often times this involves even getting other companies to mass produce it under your name. The cheapest Mac is arguably their best product.

Besides some changes to macOS and removing the ability to upgrade I've been pretty happy with Apple.

So glad I decided to just stick with django/htmx on my project a few years ago. I invested a little time into nextjs and came to the conclusion that this can't be the way.

Not to mention all the people hiring UX just because they don't want to deal with it themselves, not because they need something that requires a lot of skill.
