I don’t see how it doesn’t make sense to build the justification after attacking.

You are already bombing. The justification is done. Politically it reduces justification because the public (as was shown) is now against the bombing. When Trump attacked Venezuela, he didn’t bomb a school, wait a week, and then kidnap Maduro.

Getting the other country to attack to justify war only works if you either make it look like they attacked first (false flag), or have deniability on your attack so their retribution can be spun into a first attck. (Secretly bomb the school with spies but leave evidence so they know it was you but can’t prove it.)

So there is absolutely no reason militarily or politically.

That makes no sense. You are already at war. You have already justified it. Getting the other country to defend harder is not what you want. You want to win.

Bombing a school wasn’t 5D chess by Trump. It was incompetence.

They allow 3k reasoning prompts per week.

It’s their unlimited plan that loses them money. Where did you get 3,000/week? Their message cap is hidden and users complain they don’t know how much of their “unlimited” is used up before being cut off.

Where did you get $1k? Semianalysis’s report is paywalled but seems thorough.

There was an article yesterday that if you sign up for the most expensive OpenAI plan and actually use it fully, OpenAI loses $14k a year on you.

This reminds me of the early Internet days. I ran an ISP. Like everyone else we offered “unlimited” service. But if everyone actually used unlimited we would have been bankrupted because it would tie up a phone line (channel of a pri) and modem on the portmaster. Regular users only used 1/10th of “unlimited”.
