NEW: Just in the past few hours, there have been a FLURRY of concerning signals about potential events set to unfold in the Middle East. What first started as a single ominous U.S. Embassy alert in Jerusalem warning Americans in the country of increased risk soon turned into Israel plus Oman. Then the ENTIRE Middle East. Ominous, surely. But then Bibi Netanyahu just dropped the Texas leg of his U.S. tour, flying straight back to Tel Aviv out of New York. Then came Trump. After his recent meeting at Camp David, he is now set to return to Washington TONIGHT instead of tomorrow. Pairing this with the repeated statements Trump has made about his “major decision” approaching a critical juncture, there are alarms BLARING to the wider world.

Or perhaps, from here on, the very notion of a "great unsolved problem" becomes meaningless. If something can be solved with a few million dollars' worth of tokens, can you still call it an unsolved problem? From that point on, it is no longer an achievement one person spends a lifetime on. It becomes nothing more than a marketing tool for AI labs, decided purely by the quantitative, arithmetic value of tokens.
