US not ‘postured’ for another Iraq 2003: Iran maintains vast, ‘high-quality military capability’

Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Michael Knights, Adjunct Fellow at The Washington Institute and Head of Research at Horizon Engage. He examines the evolving military dynamics between the US and Iran, focusing on the operational possibilities available to US forces and the structural resilience of Iran’s defence strategy. According to Knights, decisive, large-scale invasions are highly unlikely. He argues that while the US possesses the capacity to execute targeted missions, Iran remains a formidable adversary, with a deeply layered and decentralised military system.

Tesla now has AI training capability in China, a critical step for Full Self-Driving

Published by skeptic

Tesla has launched an artificial intelligence training center in China, a critical development for the automaker’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) ambitions in the world’s largest electric vehicle market. China’s AI training center now operational Tesla Vice President Grace Tao confirmed on Friday that the company has put an AI training center into operation in China, focusing on developing local assisted driving and AI capabilities. Speaking to Shanghai-based financial news outlet Cailian, Tao said the center has “sufficient computing power to support development of assisted-driving features,” though she did not disclose details such as the center’s location, investment size, or specific computational capacity. The announcement marks a significant milestone for Tesla’s FSD rollout in China. Due to the country’s strict data localization laws, Tesla has been prohibited from transferring driving data collected on Chinese roads to its US-based training infrastructure. This has been a major handicap for the company’s neural network-based self-driving system, which learns from real-world driving scenarios.

AI denial is becoming an enterprise risk: Why dismissing “slop” obscures real capability gains

AI denial is becoming an enterprise risk: Why dismissing “slop” obscures real capability gains

Three years ago, ChatGPT was born. It amazed the world and ignited unprecedented investment and excitement in AI. Today, ChatGPT is still a toddler, but public sentiment around the AI boom has turned sharply negative. The shift began when OpenAI released GPT-5 this summer to mixed reviews, mostly from casual users who, unsurprisingly, judged the system by its surface flaws rather than its underlying capabilities. Since then, pundits and influencers have declared that AI progress is slowing, that scaling has “hit the wall,” and that the entire field is just another tech bubble inflated by blusterous hype. In fact, many influencers have latched onto the dismissive phrase “AI slop” to diminish the amazing images, documents, videos and code that frontier AI models generate on command. This perspective is not just wrong, it is dangerous. It makes me wonder, where were all these “experts” on irrational technology bubbles when electric scooter startups were touted as a transportation revolution and cartoon NFTs were being auctioned for millions? They were probably too busy buying worthless land in the …
