The implication of your last sentence is that AI will become increasingly a non-sequitur for some professions after they lose the experts to compose the right prompts and correctly interpret the results. Companies won't see this immediately, but it will happen to them.

"Even people with strong critical thinking skills can be sucked in." And after they come to rely upon AI, their strong critical thinking skills will go bye-bye. Use it or lose it.

Radiation will kill any people on their way to Mars. If they meet a solar flare on the way, their end will be quicker.

Not true.
You can flip the topsoil from one end of the country to the other. Nothing left but desert.
Let the people know they have 2 weeks to overthrow their government or war crimes will happen and the problem will be solved.
Fuck the Geneva convention when the other side does not follow it. End the ability for Iran to do anything violent.

Not arguing anything you said. Stop being a dick about it.
All that taken in, the moment they decide they can hold the world hostage ... Put them down.

OK.
That said, what we are saying is that Iran can do what ever they want and no one can do anything about it or we will allow them to shut down the global oil trade?
I think maybe there is something else wrong there as well.

Why are we allowing a shit stain government like that controlling Iran right now be any kind of threat to international shipping?
We SHOULD be able to put enough steel down in the area to make any attempt to control traffic by Iran impossible.

Get ready for 2008 V2. The R's in Congress and that moron in the WH have been busy getting rid of the regulations that 2008 spawned. It won't take them long to discover new and important ways to tank the economy.

And the alleged Dept. of Justice is now working to remove the convictions of the Jan. 6 rioters. So we can expect a redux of that event as well.

Remember: el Bunko destroys everything he touches. There is a limit to how much he can destroy on his own. If he tanks the U.S. as a nation, then global financial markets will finish the job for him. The U.S. is not destined to succeed, it can also fail. Those entities taking pot shots at it from inside the U.S. do not seem to understand that this can happen.

It was announced today at the White House la Presidenta has done a deal for Jesus to return. He will be appearing shortly in the form of a new chatbot put together by Elmo: The Jesus Oracle. An unveiling will occur the Concrete Garden adjacent to the White House. Tickets will be sold ahead of time, so make sure you order yours early. Proceeds will go to the Jesus Presentation Fund which will collect all the graft and present it as a personal check to the Orange Jesus.

In other news, la Presidenta has accused the Pope of being soft on crime and supporting a nuclear weapons for Iran.

Wrong, check https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nga.org%2Fformer-gov..., they flipped Republican in 1992, and briefly flipped back Democrat for one term in 2000. They've been Republican ever since. The current governor has been serving since 2020 and is Republican. Telling lies is generally not a path to credibility.

Before 1992, Mississippi governors were Democrat but that was the old Democrat remnant of the Jim Crow south. All of them whiny little good ol' boys have flipped Republican since that party centered itself around racism.

"How did we end up aligned with with Russia on such political issues?" Putin owns la Presidenta, that's how.

You mean the Epstein-Iran Crisis.

" funny a few million dollars" I am guess you meant " funnel a few million dollars", but your locution is spot on.

I thought it would be good to keep a running list of the Benefits to the Epstein-Iran War:

1. Iran gets control of the Strait of Hormuz
2. Iran gets its oil restrictions lifted by the U.S.
3. Russia gets its oil restrictions lifted by the U.S.
4. The Iranian regime gets stronger and can now spend more on the Basiji to keep control
5. The Iranian regime now gets to tax tankers going through the Strait.
6. American and world consumers get higher gas prices
7. American and world consumers get higher prices for everything as the higher oil prices filter through
8. NATO has been weakened due to la Presidenta’s hissy fits
9. The world has learned ways of disentangling themselves from the U.S. and its economy
10. Congress is even more diminished since they failed to step up and stop that dementia patient
11. Other nations no longer look to the U.S. for inspiration thus leaving the world at the mercy of China and Russia
12. Other nations can no longer trust the U.S. political system which has been show to be brittle and susceptible to authoritarian takeover
13. Other nations can no longer trust the American people who could just as easily elect another lunatic

"El presidente"? Please get the gender correct, it is "la Presidenta".

As much as I agree with your post, the JCPOA would be ending about now regardless because of it's sunset provisions, so we'd still have la Presidenta (known around the WH as Mr. Pee) destroying any chance for a new agreement.

Inflation is going to increase even without the increase in energy prices. It seems the American West and Mid-American West is desiccating due to lack of snow and rain this past winter. Farmers in Nebraska are out of water. The following U.S. Drought Map show just how bad, I like choose the menu item to compare two weeks: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdroughtmonitor.unl.edu...

It is almost as though we have climate crisis. Too bad we couldn't switch to something that would help with the desiccation and the lack of oil. Maybe if we could have big projects on renewables. But where would we get such technology? Where?

One small way to go forward is to take all those useless golf courses and cover them with solar panels. Maybe put a giant beautiful windmill on every green. For golf courses on coastal regions, we could have large windmill farms just off-shore so the vapid golfers can go and watch the blades spinning. Should keep them occupied for hours.
