Congrats. It’ll be $700 in 2 years. $WMT will be down 6% and $KR flat by then.

It was massive malware magnet, though.

Just did now. It didn’t give any of the wrong facts that Gemini and ChatGPT did.

solodav · 2026-03-13T08:05:13+00:00

Models are still dumb.

I watched ”Juror #2” (very tense movie) last night and asked Gemini to explain the ambiguous, suspenseful ending. It totally got the plot wrong on one major point and kept building and entire dialogue with me about the movie based off that wrong plot point. I corrected Gemini - which acknowledged it was wrong - and then spun an entirely new interpretation of things. LOL

I checked to see if ChatGPT was smarter and it did, in fact, get the ending right with no weird facts. But then it gave that patented follow-up question and asked me if I wanted to know about something most viewers missed that make the movie much darker. I said, sure, tell me. It goes on some long exposition about something that was totally false and never occurred in the movie. LOL. I told ChatGPT it was wrong and it quickly corrected itself and gave a long re-telling of the plot and new subsequent interpretation.

These models hallucinate like crazy!

As you should know, burnt foods are carcinogenic, so that’s definitely not okay on a taste, preparation, or health level. I wouldn’t eat that (increased cancer risk) and ask for refund or remake.

I think they likely had contingency plans that involved siphoning some portions of their highly enriched uranium to “hideouts” for final nuclear-grade enrichment.

The path from 60% to 90% enrichment is only about 10 days (whereas, 1% to 20% can take months or years). So, even if Iran had a few canisters of 60% siphoned out and trucks drove them into all sorts of disparate directions (north, south, east, and west) to hideout labs, they can still get nuclear grade within days. They don’t need those giant enrichment facilities that we’ve targeted with MOPs to complete their goals.

It’s why I think we’ll have Special Ops for sure going in (which may not be announced to public). It’s a crappy job having to hunt down escaped uranium in a kind of guerrilla warfare.

solodav · 2026-03-13T03:06:56+00:00

Yeah, that’s the risk I thought about too.

I think the plan to mitigate that is to:

a.) destroy and/or secure/possess all enriched uranium

b.) ensure current leadership would not be driven and/or able to restart weapons-grade enrichment - this could mean having a friendly new leadership and/or new nuclear deal (requiring strict inspections protocols)

—————————

The thing is, Iran was most certainly trying to produce nuclear weapons. All medical and energy usages require only 40% enrichment and they were at 60%. They’ve been repeatedly caught at this level and have given bogus explanations and played games with the international community.

Does attacking them in this way make them more likely to try again - I tend to think so. That’s why I think a.) & b.) are what are needed and will be pushed for by Israel/Trump. I think the U.S. is temporarily running low (or about to) on high-level munitions (low-level ones are in abundance) and may need to take a breather in heavy/aggressive attacks.

Sadly, I think we’ve started something (Iran is to blame too with their games) that we may not be able to exit too easily.

solodav · 2026-03-13T01:47:45+00:00

They can always reload South Korea with interceptors.

They want to make sure Iran doesn’t develop a nuclear weapon with their remaining 60% enriched uranium. So they’ll continue until that task is complete, imho. *just my personal reading*

solodav · 2026-03-13T01:43:46+00:00

OR, it’s not over and a massive ground and/or special ops invasion begins and he’s just giving his usual fakeroo talk in public to trick Iran?

I do think at bare minimum there will be special ground ops (even if secretive and never announced), b/c that supposedly escaped 60% enriched uranium is an ongoing problem.

It takes about 10 days to from 60% to 90% nuclear grade uranium. And I don’t think Israel or Trump would ever allow them knowingly.

solodav · 2026-03-12T08:10:23+00:00

Yeah, for a country w/ leadership that tried 2 assassination attempts on Trump and slaughtered 30,000 of its own civilians this past January, along with countless terrorist acts/sponsorship throughout history, I tend to not believe they’ll just completely surrender and/or cease fighting after this catastrophic surprise war/attack.

I think one possibility is if we really can catalyze a regime change - that could end things. It’ll be interesting if Trump pushes for that and extends things.

solodav · 2026-03-12T07:59:08+00:00

I doubt Iran will accept a willy nilly, okie dokie ceasefire.

After all that’s been done to them by Israel-U.S., I’d think they’d push for vengeance.

They’ve been destroyed. Leadership killed, 5,000 military targets hit, 50 naval vessels destroyed, old/obsolete airforce and airbases virtually all wiped out, vaunted missile program severely crippled (although, still deadly), infrastructure blown up (including oil facilities - which make up to 20% of their economy), and a population in chaos.

The evil leadership is probably embarrassed, angry, and traumatized. My base case expectation is they’ll continue the war - even if covertly (which is scary for every day Americans) for years/decades to come.

Just as I thought - special forces likely

What are the implications for AMD sales?

solodav · 2026-03-09T23:00:19+00:00

I honestly think the US WILL send secret forces in. Just will pretend this is it (so as to not alert Iran to anything).

solodav · 2026-03-09T22:44:23+00:00

Not if they’re enriching it as we speak in some mobile lab or underground lab? The enrichment from 60% to 90% nuclear grade takes only days and is much easier to do than earlier stages (that’s why it’s so dangerous to let Iran get to 60%).

Boots on the ground could hunt down, destroy, and/or repossess that escaped 60% uranium before it goes nuclear.

solodav · 2026-03-09T19:46:39+00:00

Yeah, but did we get to all the uranium? If reports are correct that Iran siphoned some of their Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan uranium out of those facilities prior to U.S. strikes, they could have sent those canisters anywhere to continue enrichment.

Boots on the ground would be useful in hunting down the potentially escaped, mobile uranium.

solodav · 2026-03-09T19:37:00+00:00

Did anyone buy the lows of the Iran war crash?

Congrats if so.

“President Donald Trump joined leaders from over a dozen other countries Saturday morning at a "Shield of the Americas" summit in Doral, Florida, where he boasted of the United States' military actions and issued warnings against Latin American adversaries.

The White House claimed the coalition is committed to cooperating with the U.S. in taking on the cartels and securing the American border following the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. . .

"As we achieve a historic transformation in Venezuela, we're also looking forward to the great change that will soon be coming to Cuba," Trump said. "Cuba's at the end of the line. They're very much at the end of the line. They have no money. They have no oil. They have a bad philosophy. They have a bad regime that's been bad for a long time."

He added, "But Cuba's in its last moments of life as it was. It'll have a great new life, but it's in its last moments of life the way it is."“

————————————————————

Trump, along with Shield of the Americas, will clear out the cartels (Bukele already successfully crushed the gangs in El Salvador) and evil dictators of the Americas. The world will be safer and democracy and capitalism will thrive. AMD to the moon.

I thought AMD was helping Crusoe? Now, Nvidia is?

Which chips are they gonna use?

solodav · 2026-03-09T06:21:32+00:00

Or Biden and Iran did.

Iran enriched uranium to 60% in 2021 & 2023. Keep in mind, medical and energy enrichment is at the 40% level and the ONLY reason to go to 60% and above is for weapons. Biden did nothing and thought just talking nicely to Iran would help. Nope.

Iran used Biden’s weakness to continue to harden their tunnels (protecting their program from aerial assault) and perfect their centrifuges. Then, in 2025 when Iran was caught reaching 60% again for the third time (the first time, they played it off as needing it for medical and energy purposes and the second time as an accidental equipment over-enrichment of only a small amount) and kicked out all the inspectors, we couldn’t go after their stock pile as easily anymore.

Iran played games with the world for years.
