Finding Nemo is one of the funniest movies. I can never again hear whale sounds without thinking of that flick, among other memorable scenes.

This is one AC that deserves to be modded up. I already commented, so I can't.

You are aware of what happened Oct 7, 2023, right?
fascist
Actually, islamic fundamentalists qualify for that statement in absolutely every way. So at the absolute minimum you'll have to concede that there are two fascist sides.
There was a treaty in place that was working
For sufficiently gracious definitions of "working". Iran was quite busy building up conventional weapons including delivery systems that could be re-purposed for nukes as well as moving towards nuclear weapons. There is no civilian use for 60% enriched uranium. Moreover, the number "60%" is misleading. The work to enrich isn't linear. When you have 60%, you're not 60% of the way from raw to weapons-grade, you're 95% of the way.
To put into context just how insane any claim that they had 60% for any peaceful purposes is: Most nuclear reactors use uranium enriched to 3% to 5%. 60% isn't "a bit more than usual". It's a fuckton more than any non-weapons use can reasonably explain.
And now we're in a situation where Iran has every good reason to get nukes, to defend themselves.
Iran didn't need a reason. We all know the reason they already had: Wiping out Israel.
The world has relied on "Just in Time" delivery or maintaining minimal backups to cover brief weather interruptions for many years as globalisation became the norm.
And no strike or other interruption has ever made them learn that JIT isn't all flowers and happiness and moving your warehouse to the road has more consequences than cost savings.
I'm trying to remember when we gained sovereignty over Sweeden, but can't come up with a date.
Donald says he only has to think about it, and ownership becomes law, just like "declassification".

...AI
No one has experimentally demonstrated what happens if you try to eat an anti-pizza, but theory suggests that it is probably not good.
One would need to take an antiacid.
...enough for anyone!

Maybe if you [Americans] locked your nutcases up...
Our Supreme Court gave the most egregious ones immunity from that.
Guessing motivations is poor evidence in either direction.

...the country where you can buy firearms at Walmart wants to restrict 3D printing because they worry about gun parts?
What drugs are these people on?
Well yes, if you put it that way. There is money in ignoring the AI hype if what you are doing works better without.
There's no money in being an AI sceptic in the way that as an AI hyper you can write articles, give presentations or brag about your startup.
