Various nations are ramping up their militaries in the Middle East. Let's use this thread to help keep track of it.

Qatar is aligning more with Iran and Hamas these days.

EnochWalked: Here's a Microsoft strategist tweeting a selfie he took with the CEO of Nvidia (the company that makes the chips that OpenAI use for ChatGPT). x.com/Scobleizer/status/1858024928299352383 Combines a demonic hand gesture with an insult to God. Nov 18, 2024 23:06:51 GMT -6

EnochWalked: The article doesn't seem to offer a suggestion for what has suddenly caused this problem. Maybe it's inflation, which might not be as much of an issue next year, but we have to consider that the cause is automation / AI. That will only get more powerful. Nov 19, 2024 7:43:33 GMT -6

EnochWalked: For reference, the Manhattan Project was active for 4 years, with the atomic bombs dropped in the 3rd year. If the Manhattan Project for AI starts some time next year, then that would suggest AGI by 2028. The paper by Aschenbrenner suggested AGI by 2027. Nov 19, 2024 19:11:25 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-829906 "Drowning in drones, Israel turns to Ukraine for expertise. Israeli companies seek Ukraine’s expertise to counter Iranian kamikaze drones." An interesting choice of words. "Drown" is suggestive of "Flood". Nov 20, 2024 5:34:04 GMT -6
