Well sourced story.

but the loss of a military supplier of Iran's importance can't be good for Russia in the near term.
That isn't true anymore. Russia build a drone assembly factory. They bought the designs from Iran and Iran helped set up the factory. Russia improved the designs and even provides drone parts to Iran now. Russia is independent on drones and whatever happens to Iran won't impact that.

Good thing we aren't Israel.

They are out of jail, at least some of them. That wokefarmer guy has been back out on the streets protesting in Minneapolis.

The Iranian military is still functioning. They’ve installed a new leader. The country is dominated by religious fanatics.
We are not going to bomb them into a functioning government. We aren’t going to bomb their military into surrender, IMO.
If we don’t insert ground forces, at best we leave Iran as a failed state with the military eventually taking over and preserving fanaticism.
Im not sure what the end game is here, but it almost has to have boots on the ground for a long time to be successful.
I don't think any of that is the goal. The goal seems to be to make the Iranian military powerless. If it flies, floats, or drives it will he destroyed. Eliminate the government leadership. Leave it up to the Iranian people to do the rest. Trump said what happens next is up to them. If they become a threat later, repeat the process. I don't think he really cares what happens there other than making sure they aren't a threat to the US for a good while.
Not saying it will work but that is my take on what the plan is.

He could learn from this. Seems too arrogant to do so, however.

Quit trying to sound like you know anything about the actual military. Hundreds of GB's? Like tabbed ODA guys? lol. That would be at least 20 ODA's, a freaking battalion. Higher than peak GWOT deployment.

Maybe the part where he doesn't want to die. This is more of a financial decision.

you know what AI can't do? it can't demo my two upstairs bath rooms
Yet. It won't be AI alone though, so you are right about that. Robotics, automation, and AI will do that eventually. There are already robotic/automated roofing systems, brick and block laying systems, and on site 3d building printers. Those are real use cases, not demonstration models. All of it is early stages but cheaper and more efficient and reliable than humans. It will spread to other areas like remodeling eventually.

I think there will definitely be a limit to what text-based LLMs can accomplish
I agree. We aren't near that limit though. There is also the push for AGI. Whether it is achievable can be debated, but it is a goal.

Who says China doesn't do it first?
They are going to course correct fast then. Their AI is not at our level but they are trying to make it ubiquitous. Not speculation, it is what is happening.
AI, robotics, and automation are going to change things sooner than people think. If anything, it is being slow walked a bit to figure out what to do with displaced workers. We saw that wifh the dock workers union contract. The fast food industry could be mostly fully automated and AI run in two years. No job is safe, some are just safer a longer period of time.

How would it make sense to burn down a building where the illegal aliens you supposedly love are being held? Kill them to make them free?
