Kelsey Piper (verified) @KelseyTuoc · 1h Iran war reactions which were promoted by the algorithm to my attention have distinct commonalities by country: Israelis: "here we are in the bomb shelter with our adorable children, full of hope!" Iranians: "the dictator is gone, and our people are celebrating! my relatives who were murdered on Khamenei's orders are avenged!" Americans: "this is going great/we thought that three days into Desert Storm too/we hit a school/that was the Iranians/no it wasn't but it was an accident/why are we doing this/I hate Israel/damn it's fun to be good at things though/how do we get our munitions numbers up?" UAE: "okay, my flight was cancelled due to one of the bombings, but I got a complementary hotel stay and an upgrade to a Gold suite!"

David ✓ @DavidSHolz · 3h seems we've reached the underground bunker datacenter stage, kinda cool ngl, one of the quotes in the article is literally "Israel must have a secure cloud, so it will be nine floors underground" [Embedded article card]: Oracle's second data center in Israel will be nine floors below ground The cloud and database giant wants to ensure its servers are secure

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

David Holz tweets about a news article on Oracle building a nine-floors-underground data center in Israel for security. Tangential to Nathan's AI infrastructure/compute tracking interests; illustrates growing physical-security hardening of AI-relevant compute infrastructure.
