forklog.media There Is No Iran

On January 4, 1991—thirteen days before the bombing of Iraq began—the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard published an essay in Liberation titled “The Gulf War Will Not Take Place”. The headline nodded to Jean Giraudoux’s play “The Trojan War Will Not Take Place”, whose characters try to forestall the inevitable. Once the bombing started, he followed with a second essay—“The Gulf War: Is It Really Taking Place?”. After hostilities ended came a third: “The Gulf War Did Not Take Place”. These texts made up a book published in May 1991. This piece explains why the French thinker’s idea still holds today—judging by Donald Trump’s posts and more. On “the war that did not happen” Baudrillard did not deny that bombs fell in the desert and people died. His point was different: what occurred was not war in the usual sense—a clash of armies able to inflict comparable damage on each other. The imbalance of military power was so great that direct confrontation never happened. What mattered most to Baudrillard was how events in the Persian Gulf were perceived. The 1991 war became the first armed conflict in history that television broadcast live, 24 hours a day. Viewers saw strikes from missile-borne cameras but not the victims or the destruction—the American authorities, mindful of Vietnam, imposed controls on the media. “At times the absurdity of the media’s self-representation as the purveyor of reality and immediacy broke the surface—in such moments as, for example, when CNN’s cameras switched live to a group of reporters somewhere in the Persian Gulf, only for them to admit that they were themselves sitting and watching CNN, trying to work out what was happening. Television news, it seemed, had finally caught up with the logic of simulation,” wrote Baudrillard’s translator Paul Patton in the introduction to the English edition. What hyperreality is Hyperreality is a situation in which the image of an event matters more than objective reality. The copy displaces the original—not because anyone is deliberately deceiving, but because that is how media work. They make the image more accessible and more vivid than reality itself. “To the catastrophe (an occurrence) of the real world we prefer exile into the virtual world, whose universal mirror is television,” wrote Baudrillard. The philosopher had developed this idea long before the Gulf. In “Simulacra and Simulation” (1981) he described four stages in the relation between image and reality: first the image reflects reality, then masks it, then masks the absence of it, and finally has no relation to reality at all—it becomes a pure simulacrum. The Gulf conflict became, for Baudrillard, the perfect illustration. The television picture replaced the event itself. War turned, in his words, into an advertising campaign without a product: “Advertising-informational, speculative, virtual: this war no longer corresponds to von Clausewitz’s well-known formula ‘war is the continuation of politics by other means’, but rather signifies the absence of politics, continued by other means.” Baudrillard also captured the psychological side. Politicians, generals and viewers became hostages of the media rather than of real events: “The war, along with all its military fakes, its putative soldiers and generals, its supposed experts and television presenters who constantly speculate about it all day long before our eyes, seems to be spinning before a mirror: am I good enough, effective enough, spectacular enough, perfect enough to step onto the stage of history?” War has a media face In 1991 the intermediary between viewer and event was television. Today there are dozens: X, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, news aggregators. Each imposes its own filter on reality. In 2026 information arrives as short clips, memes and screenshots—fragments easier to spread than to verify. UNDEFEATED. pic.twitter.com/Jt69bcag5y— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 12, 2026 Social-media algorithms amplify the effect. They pick content not for its veracity but for its grip on attention. An emotionally charged post gains more reach than a dry fact. Thus a feed emerges in which images compete not for accuracy but for reaction. The difference between 1991 and 2026 is scale and speed. Then a television viewer received one version of events from journalists. Today a user receives thousands from anyone: eyewitnesses, propagandists, bloggers, bots. Yet the proliferation of sources has not brought the viewer closer to reality; it has widened the distance. The more versions there are, the harder it is to establish what actually happened. The spice must flow; the show must go on Thirty-five years on, the mechanics of hyperreality are even clearer. American YouTuber Brendan Miller, in a video essay, analysed the US conflict with Iran through Baudrillard’s lens and compared the situation to a TV show. The blogger noted a telling sign: war exists chiefly as a set of images—clips in which combat footage is edited together with nods to mass culture. JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥 pic.twitter.com/0502N6a3rL— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 6, 2026 In Miller’s view, once a conflict is perceived through the prism of hyperreality, its logic shifts. Goals blur, deadlines slip, and the audience’s reaction becomes the main yardstick of success. If you are dealing with a TV show, plans and schedules do not matter. Through that lens, Miller suggests, the behaviour of US president Donald Trump makes sense. Constantly shifting aims and timelines, a thinly worked-out plan—none of this looks chaotic if you realise that for someone who treats war as a TV show, such details simply do not matter. The picture does. The quintessence came in a line from an interview with ABC journalist Jonathan Karl, in which Trump addressed him directly: “I hope you’re impressed. Well, how do you like our performance? Venezuela is obvious. And this may be even better. How do you like the performance?” Miller concludes: this is not the language of a politician or a military strategist. It is the language of a TV producer whose task is to deliver spectacle. Baudrillard described this mechanism in 1991. In his words, war lost political goals and set out to prove its own existence: “Unlike previous wars, which had definite political aims—conquest or domination—what is at stake now is war itself: its status, its meaning, its future. It has no other aim than the proof of its very existence (this identity crisis concerns the existence of each of us).” Hyperreality does not nullify consequences—they are felt far beyond the screen. Baudrillard understood this contradiction. His texts did not claim that reality had vanished. They recorded a split: the image of an event and the original drift ever further apart, yet the consequences—physical, economic, human—remain entirely real. Text: Sasha Kosovan

forklog.media Retail Bitcoin Investor Activity Hits Lowest Level Since 2017

Retail investors in the leading cryptocurrency have nearly exited the market, with their activity dropping to a nine-year low, according to an analyst known as Darkfost. 💥 Retail activity hit an 9-year low.Retail activity has reached a record low. Retail investors are clearly absent from the market.— 💡In this chart, retail activity is represented by inflows below 1 BTC on Binance. Binance remains the most widely used platform among this… pic.twitter.com/IS0tuCi2uD— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) April 3, 2026 The 30-day moving average of Bitcoin inflows to Binance from small players has fallen to 332 BTC, the lowest level since the exchange's launch in 2017. "Binance remains the most widely used platform among this category of players and consistently records the largest trading volumes," the expert noted. He highlighted several reasons for the current trend: Exchange storage. Access to cryptocurrency has become easier, and many users believe that holding funds with a third party is safer, even after the FTX collapse. This leads to greater centralization of asset ownership; Rising popularity of ETFs. In January 2024, the average monthly inflow from retail investors to Binance was about 1000 BTC, three times the current levels. Now, investors looking to profit from Bitcoin's volatility can use exchange-traded funds, which are considered safe; Capital shift. Some market participants have moved from cryptocurrencies to stocks and commodities. This shift was largely influenced by the conflict in the Middle East, which has driven up oil prices; Accumulation. Some retail investors have increased their Bitcoin holdings and moved into the category of large holders. However, the impact of this factor is minimal. "The evolution of Bitcoin since 2017 has clearly changed the market structure, and small participants have likely adapted accordingly, leading to lower on-chain activity compared to previous cycles," Darkfost concluded. A True Bear Market The specialist also pointed out that the proportion of Bitcoin in loss has approached levels typical of previous bear markets. Currently, about 11.2 million BTC remain in profit relative to their purchase price. This is not far from the level recorded in 2022, which was 9 million BTC. 📊 The level of supply in profit and in loss is now reaching levels typical of a true bear market.🟢 Currently, around 11.2 million BTC remain in profit relative to their purchase price.This is not far from the lowest level of BTC in profit recorded during the previous bear… pic.twitter.com/U5CtR3AQBq— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) April 2, 2026 "On the other hand, about 8.2 million BTC are in loss. This is a significant figure, considering that during the last prolonged downturn, this number reached about 10.6 million BTC," he noted. According to analyst Axel Adler Jr., the market is currently under pressure from the dominance of short positions. The Positioning Index has dropped to -3.1. Shorts are opening. Longs are getting flushed out. The Positioning Index has turned negative again. Is this a regime shift or a bear trap?☕️ Adler AM #140👇https://t.co/yMs5dURJvJ pic.twitter.com/PPxLCFjtQf— Axel 💎🙌 Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr) April 3, 2026 The 30-day moving average of the indicator (SMA-30d) reached a local peak of +3 in mid-March at a price of $73,925, then reversed and fell to the current value. Over two and a half weeks, the metric crossed the zero mark and continued to decline, reflecting a steady increase in bearish positions. During the same period, the Bitcoin price corrected from $74,883 to $66,603. The 30-day moving average declined in tandem with the market, confirming the weakening of its structure. Adler Jr. stated that the main condition for a reversal is the recovery of the SMA-30d above the zero mark and maintaining positive indicator values for two to three days. "Until then, the market structure remains clear: short positions dominate," he concluded. At the time of writing, digital gold is trading around $67,000. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance.

According to them, the trend is long-term.

forklog.media Riot Platforms Sells Bitcoin Worth $289 Million to Develop AI Infrastructure

The mining company Riot Platforms sold 3778 BTC for $289.5 million in the first three months of 2026. The average sale price was $76,626 per coin. During the quarter, the firm mined 1473 BTC — a 4% decrease compared to the same period in 2025 (1530 BTC). It retains 15,680 BTC under management, valued at $1.1 billion. Despite the decline in production, Riot's capacity has expanded. The deployed hashrate increased by 26% year-on-year to 42.5 EH/s. The average operational rate rose by 23%, reaching 36.4 EH/s. Source: Riot.  Transition to AI The company is accelerating its business shift towards supporting infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. Riot aims to monetize its extensive energy resources in Texas, moving beyond traditional mining. In January, the firm sold 1080 BTC. The $96 million proceeds were used to purchase 200 acres of land at its Rockdale site. The miner also entered into a ten-year licensing agreement with Advanced Micro Devices to provide 25 MW of capacity, with the potential to expand to 200 MW. This deal is expected to generate approximately $311 million in contract revenue over the first decade. Riot is not the only mining company using crypto reserves to enter the AI market. Amid falling prices, the trend of repurposing equipment is gaining popularity, as mining digital gold becomes less profitable at current prices. Earlier, CoinShares analysts concluded that up to 20% of miners are already operating at a loss. For the industry to return to stable profitability, Bitcoin needs to trade at no less than $100,000. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is priced at approximately $66,900. Hourly BTC/USDT chart on Binance.

forklog.media Cursor Unveils Third Version with Seamless AI Agent Management

Cursor has launched the third version of its AI editor, featuring a revamped interface designed for managing AI-based agents. We’re introducing Cursor 3. It is simpler, more powerful, and built for a world where all code is written by agents, while keeping the depth of a development environment. pic.twitter.com/rXR9vaZDnO— Cursor (@cursor_ai) April 2, 2026 “Introducing Cursor 3 — a unified workspace for development with agents. The new interface makes AI assistants' operations more transparent, elevating the user to a higher level of abstraction,” the announcement states. The software enables the launch of multiple digital assistants locally in the cloud. Task monitoring is facilitated through a new sidebar menu. For clarity, agents generate demos and screenshots of their work. Developers have added a quick switch feature between modes. A session can be transferred from a computer to the cloud, allowing the virtual assistant to continue working even after the device is turned off. This is effective for long tasks that are typically interrupted when a laptop is closed. The reverse transfer allows for continued testing and code editing on a local PC. The new change view interface allows for faster editing and review of revisions. Users can delve into the code at any time, viewing necessary files and navigating to definitions directly in the editor. The integrated browser enables Cursor to open local sites and interact with them. Additionally, hundreds of plugins are available to extend the agents' capabilities, installable with a single click. Back in January, a vulnerability was found in the Cursor AI editor that allowed PC control to be intercepted.

forklog.media Alibaba Unveils Qwen3.6-Plus Agent Model

The cloud division of Chinese tech giant Alibaba has launched Qwen3.6-Plus. The model offers a default context window of 1 million tokens, enhanced agent capabilities for programming, and more accurate multimodal perception and reasoning. The chatbot is available via the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API and is compatible with third-party coding assistants, including OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Qwen Code. Performance and Multimodality Qwen3.6-Plus integrates reasoning, memory, and execution. In code correction tests, the model closely approached market leaders, and in task automation and complex terminal operations, it outperformed competitors. Source: Qwen.  The new version demonstrates some of the best results in long-term planning and the use of external tools. Qwen3.6-Plus also sets records in assessments of STEM reasoning, extracting information from ultra-long contexts, and multilingual environments. Alibaba continues to expand the product's capabilities, shifting focus from basic machine vision to complex multimodal analysis and autonomous AI agent operation. The updated model better understands the structure of complex documents, writes code, and analyzes videos and physical world objects. Qwen3.6-Plus can identify connections between information arrays and independently determine the optimal algorithm for solving a given task. Request for notes on a video lecture and Qwen3.6-Plus's response. Source: Qwen Based on screenshots of interfaces, product prototypes, design layouts, or multimodal instructions, the model generates frontend pages.  Ecosystem and Integrations The model is compatible with several popular tools: Qwen Code — an open-source AI agent for terminal work, specially adapted for this series. It helps analyze complex code bases, automate routine tasks, and speed up development; Claude Code — the Alibaba Cloud API supports the Anthropic API protocol. This allows the use of Qwen3.6-Plus with tools like Claude Code for an enhanced programming experience. The new version of the API includes a preserve_thinking function (disabled by default). It retains the intermediate thought process of the neural network from all previous dialogue stages. Developers recommend using it in agent scenarios: continuous reasoning context makes responses more accurate and often reduces overall token consumption. Alibaba Cloud Model Studio supports protocols compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic specifications. Back in February, the previous version of the AI model — Qwen-3.5 — was released. At that time, the tool first gained native multimodality.
