maybe Anthropic not but Claude yes?
RobertoG··on Iran war wreaking havoc on shipping and air cargo, could create global delays
Or, here me out, you could just leave and go home. But I suppose that's unthinkable.
RobertoG··on Iran war wreaking havoc on shipping and air cargo, could create global delays
I think it could finish with regime change in the USA.
RobertoG··on Iran war wreaking havoc on shipping and air cargo, could create global delays
So, the USA and Israel started a war with Iran when they were in the negotiating table and the Iranians were accepting all the nuclear demands.

In the first unprovoked attack they killed an important religious leader of a big part of the population of the area (not only Iran) and a bunch of civilians (160 children in a school between them).

But the assesment is that 'is Iran who is threatening and targeting bystanders'. No surprise that we are in the mess we are.

RobertoG··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
Are you saying that the USA have 'human peace' as a goal? Where have you been the last 50 years? Mars?
RobertoG··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
The point is that Israel can't tolerate any competition in the area.

RobertoG··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
You are lying, they have been trying to avoid this war in any possible way. But Israel wanted this war before they lost the support of the USA population (that it's happening fast) or they have a less accommodating USA president.

what are you talking about? Iran is a sophisticated country with a parliament and elections, with a powerful civil society. It has 90 million inhabitants. They graduated more women in STEM disciplines than the USA. Yes, it's a theocracy, but it's more free than Saudi Arabia for instance.

Are the Americans going to bomb the Saudis next? or only if Israel ask for it?

RobertoG··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
You forgot to mention that there were two separate incidents. That's why the thing took two hours. They shoot an ambulance, I suppose you could argue that was a mistake. They check the ambulance (at that moment they had to know that there were not fighters there). Later, when more help vehicles appeared they shoot everybody in them too. That's the five minutes shooting.

You forgot to mention that they destroyed the vehicles and they buried the dead with them in the sand. And that, was not made by the same people that killed the help workers.

You forgot to mention that they lie about what happened.

You forgot to mention that, after the investigation, one of the official was demoted, and that's it.

All this seems to point, not to a mistake, but to a pattern of behavior, in my opinion. Personally, I'm done with the 'mistakes', like blocking baby formula from entering Gaza and all that.

RobertoG··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
War is always terrible and a mess. The problem is that the intention is, very clearly, ethic cleansing. And that, is, not in accordance to international law. That's the reason they target humanitarian workers and journalist. And the reason they block things like baby formula from entering Gaza. Because the worst are the living conditions to the population, the better.

If you think that the main intention of Israel is other than push those million of people that bother them out (or kill them if they don't go), I have a bridge to sell you.

Hell, they even say that themselves. Go to listen to their politicians.

By the way, if you are an European Union citizen, there is request to the commission to stop the EU-Israel commercial agreement. You can sign it here:

damn, now I would like to know what you were really answering to.
RobertoG··on Claude Sonnet 4.6
The price of oil at the price of water (ecology apart) should be a good thing.

Automation should be, obviously, a good thing, because more is produced with less labor. What it says of ourselves and our politics that so many people (me included) are afraid of it?

In a sane world, we would realize that, in a post-work world, the owner of the robots have all the power, so the robots should be owned in common. The solution is political.

RobertoG··on Major European payment processor can't send email to Google Workspace users
But imagine that you do that, and they solve the problem. What would you write in your blog about?
RobertoG··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
You can buy things from your local Amazon or national equivalent that come from outside using this systems, so, you are not so restricted to EU sellers.

I suppose the most problematic would be traveling. I recently when outside the EU and was surprise how smooth the process was using my Visa card, to the point I didn't use any local currency.

On the other hand, I recently buy books from the UK and it get stuck for two weeks in customs, and it had nothing to do with the payment platform. I had not realized how difficult is to import something from outside the EU, even for personal use.

RobertoG··on The US is flirting with its first-ever population decline
you have to make your country/society a place where people will want to have children and feel/know that their children's lives will be good ones. [..] That's a gigantic task, [..]"

Yeah, but is not that suppose to be like 'The Task'. Like, literally, beyond immediate survival, the thing all human groups work towards? I know, sometimes doesn't look like it.

RobertoG··on TSMC to make advanced AI semiconductors in Japan
You make it to look like if, out of the blue, they attacked they neighbor. Not mention of what the reason of China (right or wrong) could be. Then you complain of uncritically spreading propaganda.

From Wikipedia: "There had been a series of border skirmishes between the two countries after the 1959 Tibetan uprising, when India granted asylum to the Dalai Lama. Chinese military action grew increasingly aggressive after India rejected proposed Chinese diplomatic settlements throughout 1960–1962, with China resuming previously banned "forward patrols" in Ladakh after 30 April 1962."

RobertoG··on TSMC to make advanced AI semiconductors in Japan
A fact that is itself quite surprising, if you think about it.
RobertoG··on ICE and Palantir: US agents using health data to hunt illegal immigrants
who say they are effective? They just have contacts.

It's the privatization of what started as an intelligence program.

RobertoG··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
Civilians aren't the target in Gaza?

The target in Gaza is, very clearly, to get rid of the civilians. Not only in Gaza but in the West Bank.

They want to annex all that if they have to kill civilians they will kill civilians. In fact, they don't even hide it, just go to check the statements from members of the Israeli government.

That's the reality 'no matter what your beliefs are', by the way.

RobertoG··on India and EU announce landmark trade deal
I read the three articles that you mention [0][1] and [2] and I still don't know what 'diplomacy blitz' are you talking about.
RobertoG··on High-speed train collision in Spain kills at least 39
I can tell that you really don't like the current government but you should relax a little.

There is an accident with death people, maybe people still trapped there and the causes are still unknown. Too early to start playing politics, don't you think?

RobertoG··on Photos capture the breathtaking scale of China's wind and solar buildout
"It has Texas, Canada and Venezuela", eh.. excuse me?
RobertoG··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
Is not that Israel wants a genocide, is that it's pretty obvious that they are ready to commit one in order to get the ethnic cleansing that they want.

This is obvious. In fact, I suspect that they are going to success, and in a few years we will have to hear how that was a terrible mistake, but, of course, never again. Maybe, even you will be saying that.

RobertoG··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
The problem is: that could be the relation that most Americans have with Iran, but, unfortunately, it's not the relation that USA has with Iran.
RobertoG··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
Same feelings for Saudi Arabia, I hope.
RobertoG··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
Misinformed, sure. As it's not obvious what Israel is trying to do in Gaza.

You ask for equal reaction, here it goes: I want for Israel the same sanctions that are applied to Iran and Russia. Fair, right?

RobertoG··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
Well, last time I checked Iran was not invited to Euro-vision and my government was not selling weapons to it. So, not the same, see?

I demand for Israel the same sanctions that they are applying to Iran and Russia. Are you happy now?

RobertoG··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
On the other hand, there are a lot of people that is suddenly very worried about Iran but had nothing to say about other places.

Some, even support the terrible things that are going on, today and for a very long time, in those other places.

RobertoG··on Network of Scottish X accounts go dark amid Iran blackout
One man information is another one bot.

The Herald information comes from ukdefencejournal. They don't tell us exactly where the information comes from originally, despise talking about the company Cyabra later in another context.

But the Jewish Telegraphic Agency tell us that the information about Iran also comes from Cyabra (1)

Cyabra? The Tel-Aviv based company, with important customers as the USA State Department, informing us about Iran?

What could possible go wrong?
