About this episode
The episode discusses the Nakba commemorations, Israel's historical context, Trump's visit to China, and insights on artificial intelligence.
Forgive the boomer reference to the original Star Trek, but it's the best title we could come up with quickly. Marches commemorating the Nakba (Arabic “catastrophe") are taking place today around the world, marking 78 years since the brand new state of Israel miraculously survived an invasion by its five Arab neighbors. By winning that war (in other words, by refusing to die), Israel became the target of a strange global alliance of Marxists and fundamentalist Muslims—two groups that have nothing in common except their hatred of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We also discuss President Trump's visit to China and how the media is miss reading, perhaps deliberately, what happened in Beijing. And we highlight a couple articles on artificial intelligence that seem to indicate that there is something inside the black boxes powering large language models besides chips and wiring. Sharon’s niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up.
