On the evening of February 28, 2026, American B-2 bombers lifted off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. By the time they reached Iranian airspace, Tomahawk missiles were already in flight from submarines in the Persian Gulf. Operation Epic Fury hit over a thousand targets in its opening hours.

@Daojoan@mastodon.social by the way, the attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls school was a tripple-tap strike. Three missiles hit the same target at a calculated interval to ensure not only that those wounded in the first strike were killed, but that first responders would also be killed. It is usually used against terrorist targets, apparently the targeting system thought 6-to-12 year old school girls fall under the category of "terrorist."

@Daojoan great piece! I was looking for the AI section, because the LLMs are the perfect gambling machines with their unpredictable good and bad output

@Daojoan@mastodon.social excellent article!
You alluded to the Robinhood scandal, but I was expecting you to also bring up Polymarket, and the fact that people were betting on the date of the Iran invasion which led to the Israeli government investigating some of the bets as potential security leaks.
There is a whole cluster of "Prediction Market Platforms" now, not just Robinhood and Polymarket, letting people bet on anything. I'd say this is another symptom of exactly the illness you are describing in this article.
