In response to the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, military expert Yuri Knutoov, in an interview, allowed for the possibility of the US using tactical nuclear weapons. According to him, the Americans could deploy the B61-12 bomb to strike Iranian enriched uranium storage facilities if losses among their forces become too high and other action options fail to deliver results.

The expert also drew attention to Israel's nuclear arsenals, which are presumably stored in underground facilities near the city of Dimona. He warned that in the event of further strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran could retaliate with more powerful missiles, potentially destroying these storage sites, causing radioactive contamination, and triggering a severe ecological disaster that threatens not only Israel but also neighboring countries.

Furthermore, Knutoov noted that amid increasing reports of drones appearing over the US airbase housing strategic nuclear bombers B-52, the US could use the drone incident as a pretext to accuse Iran of preparing sabotage or a terrorist attack. In his view, such a provocation could serve as grounds for larger-scale military actions, up to and including the use of nuclear weapons. The expert believes the sides have already crossed the "point of no return," and prospects for peaceful resolution are currently absent.

“I've been asked several times, are we still considering being in Israel? We are 100% in Israel. We are 100% behind the families there. We are 100% in the Middle East,” said Jensen Huang, as Nvidia moved to reassure employees and investors that the war in the region has not altered its long-term commitment.

Nvidia has significantly expanded its presence in Israel since its $6.9 billion acquisition of Mellanox Technologies in 2019, which established a major hub for the company in the country.

Today, Nvidia employs around 6,000 people in Israel, and the country plays a central role in the development of several of its key technologies, including advanced chips and networking systems.

The company is also planning a major new campus in Kiryat Tivon, expected to employ up to 10,000 workers. Announcing the project last year, Huang said: “Israel is home to some of the world’s most brilliant technologists and has become NVIDIA’s second home.

And now this individual, with this journalist, is writing some book about being a dissident in the age of fear, and this question of, are they going to talk about Gaza at all? I kind of doubt it. Maybe they will. And I think of other people who resigned alongside me, who I feel extremely fortunate to be at the Quincy Institute, to have had an academic background, and to have had some of these other connections, whereas, for those for whom resigning was to really burn every professional bridge they'd ever built.

...

It was six months between October 7 and when I resigned. And during that time, I submitted a dissent cable. I signed on other dissent cables. I was involved in some internal efforts to try to advocate for a different policy. And this gets a little bit to kind of what Samantha Power said in her statement about when the President and those around him have made a decision, you can't impact it, and you just have to kind of do what you can within that.

But then it's like, okay, well, if that's the case, then you step away; you don't go along with it. I think another super important thing as progressives, or as people are thinking about where we go from here, is that I worry a lot about the fact that so many of these figures inside the Biden administration really haven't paid any kind of a reputational price. They've landed these cushy gigs at Harvard, nice consulting firms, or lucrative law positions. They're all fine, and there hasn't really been this grappling with enabling genocide. And also the pigheadedness of the Biden administration and then, subsequently, the Harris campaign to double down on unconditional and illegal support for Israel was a crucial factor in why the Democrats lost the election.

An AI agent instructed an engineer to take actions that exposed a large amount of Meta’s sensitive data to some of its employees, in the latest example of AI causing upheaval in a large tech company.

The leak, which Meta confirmed, happened when an employee asked for guidance on an engineering problem on an internal forum. An AI agent responded with a solution, which the employee implemented – causing a large amount of sensitive user and company data to be exposed to its engineers for two hours.

“No user data was mishandled,” a Meta spokesperson said, and they emphasised that a human could also give erroneous advice. The incident, first reported by The Information, triggered a major internal security alert inside Meta, which the company has said is an indication of how seriously it takes data protection.

Reuters said the phone is codenamed Transformer

AI integration is a “key focus” of Transformer, per Reuters’ sources, who said that Amazon wants the phone to drive usage of Amazon’s AI products

It’s unclear why Amazon thinks now is a good time to get back into phones. Even potentially low prices may not be enough to convince people to buy.

You ARE looking forward to this, right?
