Was the Iran War Caused by AI Psychosis?(houseofsaud.com)

- CrzyLngPwd 15 hours agoIran made it clear that if they were attacked again, then they would close the Strait and attack all US and allied targets in the region.
Still, at least the war is very complete, pretty much, a week or two ago.
The result of all this US/Israel agreession is that the US fled their bases and didn't defend any of it's allies like they said they would, China spied on all US movements and now knows more about US military than it did before, and the time of US naval dominance is over, since the US fleet is hiding a long way away - but even distance is likely gone soon too.
- buildsjets 15 hours agoNo, the Iran War was caused by a psychotic president.[-]
- jfengel 15 hours agoThe psychotic President was the immediate cause.
But the psychotic President was elected by popular vote, pushing the psychosis back to that level.
Perhaps one could say that this psychosis was introduced by people who were not themselves psychotic, but rationally pursuing their own goals spreading propaganda. That propaganda broke the ability of a large swath of the public to tell the difference between truth and fiction.

- armchairhacker 15 hours agoThe absurdity in modern culture (politics, social media, etc.) is CI psychosis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_intelligence). Basically a milder form of mass hysteria.
- doctoboggan 15 hours agoThis is coming from the Saudi royal family, which is obviously not a neutral party. However the reporting seems plausible. Does anyone know the reputation of houseofsaud.com or if there is any other reporting on this topic?[-]
- orwin 15 hours agoI heavily dislike the Saudi regime. This journal hides a lot about slavery and death amongst Saudi slaves, so read everything that talk about Neom and internal projects with a grain of salt, but I can't say they aren't factual, most of the time.
- decimalenough 15 hours agoNope: House of Saud is the leading independent English-language publication on the Saudi royal family.
- letmevoteplease 15 hours agoThis reads like an AI-generated hit piece on AI. "According to Bloomberg, CNN, and the Soufan Center, AI simulations run before February 28 produced projections of overwhelming success for a decapitation strike against Tehran." - can anyone find anything like this in Bloomberg, CNN, or the Soufan Center? I tried and could not. Seems like fiction inspired by the known fact that Claude was used for targetting and so on.[-]
- decimalenough 15 hours agoNope, they're referring to actual reporting:
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/us-israel-iran-war-2026/car...
https://thesoufancenter.org/intelbrief-2026-march-3/
However, while these sources mention the use of AI for battlefield simulations, I'm not seeing any specific mention of the results of those simulations, and the Soufan article even spells out that "details on how exactly Claude was used for operational planning, battlefield simulations, and intelligence assessments are not made public".
[-]- letmevoteplease 15 hours agoYes. I really think this piece is an AI-generated hallucination. Look at the table of "AI Predictions vs. Operational Reality" for example; that's classic ChatGPT style. An interesting irony.
- swader999 15 hours agoThey lost the nuke material and can't account for it. Regime change won't work so ground.
- aogaili 8 hours agoIs this for real? stupid humans, stupid decision now blaming the new kid in the blog..an arrogant hubris president, and the department of war, and corrupt Israeli lobby with a PM that wants to destroy a country of 90 million people...then they blame AI?
- casey2 12 hours agoI think it was mostly caused by the reclaimed oil fields in Venezuela and the us and Israeli governments being packed full of Zionists. I don't feel it was particularly shocking.
In Iraq (2003) are the Kurds not considered citizens? Since they certainly weren't unified. In Kuwait (1991) there was no resistance from the civilians, they didn't fight for Iraq. In Lebanon (1983) many welcomed Israli troops. In (1916) did the Arabs unify against the French and British? No some rebelled against the Turks.
- OrangePilled 13 hours ago1. Anyone who's used Claude to generate fancy figures and other web artifacts can tell that it's been used for this article.
