- rany_ 11mo agoI can't spot anything conspiratorial in that article, though?
- QuercusMax 11mo agoThere are already other articles claiming he was shot because he's Jewish and has supported Israel. Seems like the cops haven't arrested anybody yet, so we don't really know anything. He was working on fusion technology, so you could just as well speculate it was fossil fuel interests involved, but that also seems purely speculative.

- rany_ 11mo agoFirst thing that came to mind is that he might have been secretly working for Israel's nuclear program but this is all very speculative. It does feel plausible though given that Israel has already assassinated plenty of Iranian nuclear scientists; so there is some precedent for it.
- BurningFrog 11mo agoIt does sound like something Iran might to in retaliation.
- rany_ 11mo agoThere are lots of different scenarios you can conjure up. Another could be that Israel assassinated him after he refused to support their nuclear program OR to silence him.
- BurningFrog 10mo agoThat, OTOH, doesn't sound like something Israel would do at all.

- garbagecoder 11mo agoYou're right, it's only fair that we let Iranian assassins kill people in the US.

- lawlessone 11mo ago>He was working on fusion technology BigFission We'll probably find out it was mugging.
- QuercusMax 11mo agoOr something intensely personal completely unrelated to politics. Could be a disgruntled student, lover, business partner, etc. Horses, not zebras.

- dzink 11mo ago“Renowned for his pioneering research on plasma dynamics - the component of blood that carries platelets and cells throughout the body - Loureiro also focused on harnessing clean fusion energy to combat climate change. He was appointed director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center in May”
- dvh 11mo agoHoly shit, they really wrote it there
- gs17 11mo agoThe Hebrew version doesn't seem to have that error, I wonder what they used to translate it, it feels like a rare hallucination for recent LLMs.
- danparsonson 11mo agoI can believe that our dystopian future will be powered by dark fusion reactors that only achieve containment through human sacrifice
- typeofhuman 11mo agoStory as old as time. For the crops!
- m4ck_ 11mo agoI wonder if that's some particularly sloppy AI writing or if he really was working in biology (apparently he pioneered research on blood plasma) while also working on fusion energy. Bro was either a 10x professor or AI is just doing AI things I guess. Either way RIP.
- eichin 11mo agoit's slop. (If you look at the ORCID link posted elsethread there's literally nothing biology related in his 70 publications in the last two decades - and it seems unlikely one would become director of the PSFC with that sort of distraction...)
- simple10 11mo agoThe article might be too hasty to report that he's Jewish, especially implying that was the motive by including it in the article title. Lots of chatter X/Twitter about it. Kinda crazy (scary?) how fast tragic events like this get instantly politicized on social.
- 627467 11mo agoGiven his background somehow doubt he is jewish, could be pro-israel. But all this could well be totally unrelated to the event itself. Isnt it more likely that's due to him living in the US or the Terminator hypothesis?
- simple10 11mo agoIt's possibly related to mistaken identity. There's apparently some guy with a similar name that has some tie to Israel. Articles and social just seem to be running with it without any fact checking.

- andrepd 11mo agoPlease don't link to such a rag. There's absolutely nothing of substance in this article and even several glaring factual mistakes.
- ekjhgkejhgk 10mo agoAnd you're saying that based on what? You should hide your antisemitism better.
