im not holding my breath

its safe to assume those are the perpetrator. even north korea dont want to get left behind in the ai rat race i guess

my assumption is that generally you dont want to target anything that dont hold strategic value. missiles are v expensive. any misfire that affect civilian either has been shot down, dud or unreliable intel.

i wont say that certain nation actors that see terrorizing civilian is not a strategic value but in a long term if they dont see any effect they will stop doing it. i personally dont see any benefit even if i purposely demonize them.

case and point. the US bad intel striking school is a blunder that rallying the iranian to their government. im sure the US doesnt want that, the russian is well versed in this and undoubtly understand more than i do.

no matter how bad the ukrainians want to strike st petersburg or moscow. IIRC they hold back to minimize the martyr effect and combined with their arsenal basically given by westerner with a caveat.

ebola virus and the spread by local burial tradition been a thing for a decade now. was the prevention or mediatory unsuccessful?

i have no doubt the science works but looking back at covid and future diseases there is def a human aspect thats clearly still lacking.

the sophons has arrived…

japan also not doing well economically. how is this perceived by their local populace?

this plus automatic anti drone drone network would render long range drone obsolete

feels so weird reading a news article thats already outdated couple hours later…

i sometimes go back to this ad when im feeling overwhelmed. its not from 90s and even though at the time this ad aired the world not really in a good place, my head space was. its just nostalgia to a time where i genuinely look at the world inmore positive light.

i dont think china will help. i read that iran saying that they will allow ship passes as long the oil were bought in yuan. i dont know if that is true but its a sensible option for iran.
