I thought Iran already had nukes, so the attack made no sense: Attacks on nuclear weapons facilities are prettly much “launch nukes” in any nuclear doctrine in any nuclear country.
But apparently they have just been working on them, and are allegedly a few weeks off from making their first?
It still seems like a suicidal move. Attacks on production typically slows or delays, but won’t delete or reverse anything. Iran hurrying up the programme and going on full nuke alert ready to fire if a bird in the sky twitches wrong seems like a very possible outcome.
This is what I have been hoping LLMs would provoke since the beginning.
Testing understanding via asking students to parrot textbooks with changed wording was always a shitty method, and one that de-incentivizes deep learning:
It allows for teachers that do not understand their field beyond a superficial level to teach, and to evaluate. What happens when a student given the test question “Give an intuitive description of an orbit in your own words” answers by describing orbital mechanics in a relative frame instead of a global frame, when the textbook only mentions global frame? They demonstrate understanding beyond the material which is excellent but all they do is risk being marked down by a teacher who can’t see the connection.
A student who only memorized the words and has the ability to rearrange them a bit, gets full marks no risk.
