To definitively say whether something is or isn’t conscious we’d first need to have a clear definition of what we mean by consciousness in functional terms. So far, there are a number of competing theories, and the definition will vary based on which theory you subscribe to. I’m personally a fan of the higher order theory of consciousness which suggests that conscious experience constitutes higher order thoughts which observe other thoughts, awareness of your own thoughts is the self referential property that would be a plausible explanation. To show that a model was conscious in this framework, you’d have to show that there are secondary patterns that occur in response to the primary patters which are a result of a stimulus.


It’s how Iranians refer to it as well https://www.tehrantimes.com/tag/12-days+war


I see little evidence of Iran being on the ropes actually. The color revolution attempt failed, they managed to clean house, and they demonstrated during the 12 day war that they can hit Israel and US assets easily.
The US also has a massive logistics problem with Iran being half way across the globe from the burger reich. A quick knock out blow is not possible, and Iran has the advantage in a protracted conflict because it’s a large country with logistical depth.
It’s going to be far harder for the US to fight Iran than it is for Russia in Ukraine. And that’s been going for 4 years now.


Right, it’s the lack of any double checking that’s shocking. I use LLMs to make mermaid diagrams of code all the time, it’s super useful, but you have to actually read through what it generates.


Seems like Iran has been cleaning house since the 12 day war, and recent attempt at a coup, with the riots, shows that the leadership there is solid right now.


Yeah, lots of videos of it, looks wild.


as shocked as you are that India will not abandon billions in trade just because the US is mad


That’s true, they are sticklers for procedure.


A full-scale, unprovoked invasion of Iran is the only thing that will make Trump a real president in the eyes of the Democrats.


we’re making baby steps here

Trump is finally about to become presidential.
It’s really incredible to see how Quake engine is still alive and actively used. And honestly, it still looks great. Really shows how much you can do with a decades old engine.

the west doesn’t like to cover peasant uprisings, don’t want to give domestic peasants any ideas


China is not a net fuel producer, they import a large portion of their energy themselves. They have been donating solar panels however, and hopefully they ramp that up. However, Russia being one of the biggest fuel exporters is stepping up.
it looks nearly identical to a cube I had at one of my jobs as well, I think even the phone is the same
