Trump's conflicting messages sow confusion [& disbelief] over the #IranWar
#Trump says the #US is winning the #war with #Iran even as thousands of additional American #troops deploy to the #MiddleEast.
He has pilloried other countries for not helping the US, only to say later he does not need their assistance. He has 2X delayed deadlines for Iran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

#WallStreet slumps on #MiddleEast uncertainty. #US #stocks had their biggest loss since the #war with #Iran started, with the S&P 500 falling 1.7%. #Nasdaq confirms correction.
#Trump said Thursday he will delay a threatened strike on #Iran #energy #infrastructure & extend his deadline for Tehran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz until April 6, claiming talks to end the #war are “going very well.” The move marks a pullback from Trump’s earlier warning that the #US would target Iran’s energy plants if the crucial shipping lane remained closed.

The whole LLM as a service business model has a fundamental flaw to it. The cost of operating the data centres is an order of magnitude higher than the profit.
But if models get efficient enough to bring the costs down, then they become efficient enough to run locally. So, either it’s too expensive to operate, or nobody will want to use it as a service because running your own gives you privacy and flexibility.
The fact that investors don't get this is frankly incredible.

"He’s about to wind down and exit because he doesn’t give a damn about anything except maintaining his wealth and power — and the war is now costing him both.
It’s hurting his financial backers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar — whose wealth has been seriously diminished by the war and whose vulnerability has been exposed."

Nope.
The #Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the #Iran #war, a senior admin official says.
The DoD sent the request to the White House, acc/to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity…
It’s an extraordinarily high number & comes on top of extra funding the Defense Dept already received last year in #Trump’s big tax cuts bill.

I Predicted the 2008 Financial Crisis. What Is Coming May Be Worse
- Richard Bookstaber
“…We have returned to a period of risk, one rife with the sort of pressures that have led to major financial crises. This time, the risks are spread across industries, markets & nations∶ #ArtificialIntelligence, the roughly $2 trillion private #credit industry, #StockMarkets, #Taiwan & now #Iran…”

So… not “America First” eh?
The #Trump admin on Wednesday announced a 60-day waiver of #JonesAct #shipping #regulations to help ease deliveries of #fuel & #fertilizer to combat rising #prices & #supply disruptions caused by #TrumpsWar in #Iran.
Under the Jones Act, goods shipped between #US ports must be carried on vessels that are US/built, US-flagged & mostly US-owned.

"Over the last few days the markets started to go south. So did the optics and politics of the war. And so Trump’s now looking to end it.
This process will have plenty of zigs and zags. Pulling a TACO in war isn’t simple. Once you’ve decided to 'Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war,' it’s not as easy to get the fierce dogs of war back in the kennel as it is the docile puppies of tariffs."

Despite his callous bluster, Trump is seemingly retreating.William Kristol (The Bulwark)
"Trump wants to be done because the conflict is getting too messy, Gulf allies are certainly privately asking WTAF Trump’s plan is and more than anything else Trump is realizing that he is triggering what has been the most reliable presidency killer in American politics for more than half a century: spiking gas prices."
