A specter is haunting the world: the specter of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will destroy jobs on an unprecedented scale. It will make wars more lethal and efficient (eliminating many more enemies and faster). It can destroy the Earth. And it will place at the pinnacle of power a…
The great obsession of Beniamin Netanyahu for more than two decades hangs by a thread. Israel managed to convince Donald Trump to embark on a war against Iran, which it considers its greatest existential threat, and which could be resolved with an agreement in a matter of days.
