No, the reason is to have a deterrence so that Iran could say, 'hey, if you attack us we'll develop nukes'. By the way, I am a lot more worried about Israel and its actual nuclear stockpile that has zero oversight.

The US demands were for Iran to give up all its offensive capabilities so that Israel and the US can bomb it with impunity every time they please. It would be foolish for the Iranians to agree to that. But useful idiots will be useful idiot

Except the English articles are not generally fearmongering, more praising of the 'bursting' Israeli tech scene. It's only when you look at what the startups do you realize what's up. It makes sense in a way, most Israel

Is it just me or are the 'open source' models increasingly impractical to run on anything other than massive cloud infra at which point you may as well go with the frontier models from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI etc.?

90% of startups coming out of Israel seem to be some dodgy 'security' or spyware startups. This in addition to them boasting of having 'field tested' their stuff on Palestinians, which is also why U.S. cops go there for
