Iran is heading down instability no matter what.

Of course it's not. Why look at anything positive or actually do something when you can instead engage in the tired tropes like looking at the past with rose tinted glasses as a way of comforting yourself.

You can still go out there and do things like join a running club. People are still going to arcades in Japan.

Comments like these are kind of ironic.

Well it didn't take long for Trump to announce he now runs Venezuela to plant US companies to export oil to the US. Once you understand American foreign policy it is just predictable.

Or have a military takeover or manufacture a crisis. At the very least they will claim election fraud and we saw what happened in Trump 1.0. There are definitely many ways MAGA will (likely) remain in power. Fascists don't give up power without a fight.

Venezuela has been linked to the fentanyl crisis. "The Trump administration has described strikes on vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific as attacks against terrorists attempting to bring fentanyl and cocaine to the US.

However, fentanyl is produced mainly in Mexico and reaches the US almost exclusively via land through its southern border."

Instead they just plant people into the government and pretend it is still a sovereign nation.

You are still young so you don't seem to get it yet but history has shown that killing or capturing the leader of a country with outside actors rarely leads to anything good. It usually just leads to more instability.

Pop-culture shows you that if you get rid off Mojo Jojo you suddenly get rainbows and flowers but reality doesn't work that way very often and it is just propaganda.

If you want to "own" Nvidia, the much more realistic way of doing this then trying to compete with all the data centers that are already being built with Nvidia chips is obviously with open source models. In the case of open source models, inference is much more important to most people not training which a maxed out macbook already does a good job of.

"We are doing what we can to hang on to relevancy as gatekeepers who already held way too much authority over a field". They are going to use AI on the job anyway.

This also applies to universities. The world has changed but they have not and they will make sure to try and stay relevant as much as they can to continue to take money.

Edit: looks like it will take a while for some people to accept that we are not going back from this. The cat is out of the bag and your certificates are increasingly irrelevant. Sorry if you spent a lot of money and time to get it.
