    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    I tried to warn you. I really did. But I clearly failed. Again.Remember when I suggested you get the Asus Ascent GX10 with 128 gigs unified memory .... at just $4k? So you can do secure confidential local AI? To make Alan Turing beam with pride?But they hiked the price up to $6k. But, backup plan!

    Earlier I explained why Washington doesn’t need to invade Iran: it can just let the regime choke on its own dust.
