Opinion | Anthropic's Restraint Is a Terrifying Warning Sign: This article is by Thomas Friedman is likely a very important one for thinking people to read now

 The basic Idea I believe is that Anthropic won't release their lastest AI version because they discovered that in the wrong hands it could destroy the operating systems for Banks and companies and power generating facilities etc. So, this is why it's such a Terrifying Warning sign for the whole World!

It can search out software for weaknesses and destroy any software to anything on earth (in the wrong hands)!

... It will be interesting to see what history remembers most about April 7 ... Opinion ...

Smerconish was interviewing a retired General this morning on CNN:

 And what he said was really interesting: What he said was that the U.S. military could likely deal okay with Man pads but if China started sharing advanced AI with Iran that could be a problem.

I think you have to combine why Anthropic didn't share it's latest AI release with the public. Why?

Because they discovered that Their AI could destroy all operating systems for everything worldwide in the wrong hands.

In other words "No Bank software or Hydroelectric plant Software or any generating station on earth would be immune from what their AI is capable of destroying in the wrong hands.

So, I'm beginning to see what the General Was talking about now in real time. 

how many days has the Ceasefire been in effect now (when I asked this question to google this is what I got. Not sure why?)

begin quotes: 

around 30 ships have passed through the Straight of Hormuz since Ceasefire?

I also learned today that two American Naval Ships were allowed to pass through the STraight of Hormuz to remove Iranian Mines it appears too which I found pretty interesting. 

begin quotes:

 

Yes, reports indicate that approximately 30 vessels, largely bulk carriers, have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since the ceasefire took effect on April 8, 2026. This volume is significantly lower than the typical daily traffic of over 100 ships, as most companies are awaiting improved security guarantees before resuming regular routes.
Key details:
  • Reduced Traffic: Traffic remains roughly 90% below normal levels, consisting primarily of Iranian trade.
  • Vessel Type: Most vessels passing through are cargo or bulk carriers, not oil tankers.
  • Military Presence: US warships have passed through the strait, marking the first such transit since the conflict began.
  • Context: The ceasefire, which began on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, followed weeks of conflict.

  • Does Trump make decisions based only on Gut Instinct? Yes.

     However, here's the thing. I do too and this is called "Crazy Wisdom" if used properly.

    BUT Trump doesn't use this for everyone mostly only for himself which tends to create "EVIL OUTCOMES"

    However, when I try to make Gut decisions it is to help EVERYONE on earth survive better.

    But, Trump is the opposite.

    When I heard Trump say: "We are going to make a lot of money off the oil here in the U.S." I knew we were in trouble (especially the 50% of the American people who do not own Oil STocks).

    So, here is just one instance of a person using his gut instincts to help himself even though thousands of people have died already from his selfish selfish decisions.

    Unfortunately, Trump and Netanyahu are two of the most evil people on earth right now and responsible directly for thousands of deaths and likely millions of more deaths to come because of their selfish selfish selfish decisions.

    Can someone make Gut decisions and help mankind? Yes,

    Buddha 2500 years ago

    and 

    Jesus 2000 years ago.

    And then there is the evil Trump killing everyone with his selfish selfish selfish decisions only really benefiting himself (even if he died tomorrow) would he lift a finger to help anyone? Likely no!

    The Strait of Hormuz crisis is sending shock waves through a country heavily dependent on Gulf oil imports.

    Caribou in the United States live primarily in Alaska, which is home to 32 distinct herds totaling approximately 950,000 animals. They inhabit Arctic tundra, mountain ridges, and boreal forests. A tiny, endangered population of woodland caribou also exists in the southern Selkirk Mountains of Idaho and Washington.
    Key Locations in the U.S.
    • Alaska (32 Herds): Caribou are found throughout most of Alaska, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Porcupine herd) and the National Petroleum Reserve (Western Arctic herd).
    • National Parks (Alaska):
      Major populations are monitored in Denali National Park & Preserve, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, and Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve.
    • Idaho/Washington (Southern Selkirk Mountains): A critically endangered population of mountain caribou, often numbering fewer than 15 individuals, inhabits the border region, extending into British Columbia, Canada.

    Habitat and Behavior
    • Summer: They prefer treeless tundra and mountains for feeding and to gain relief from insects.
    • Winter: Many herds move to boreal forests (taiga), where they use their large, splayed feet to dig through snow for lichen.
    • Migration: Some herds, such as the Porcupine herd, undertake massive migrations, while others (like boreal woodland caribou) are more sedentary.
    • Appearance: Both male and female caribou grow antlers.

    Status
    While populations in Alaska are generally robust, the southern Selkirk population in the contiguous U.S. is considered critically endangered.
