#2171: How IQT Labs Built a Wargaming LLM (Then Archived It)
A deep code review of Snowglobe, IQT Labs' open-source LLM wargaming system that ran real national security simulations before being archived. What...
#2151: The Minefield of Information
The Strait of Hormuz is "open," but Iran can’t find its mines. We explore how this fog of war is a deliberate tactic.
#2146: The AI Wargame's Flat Hierarchy Problem
AI wargames treat NGOs and nuclear powers as equals. That's a dangerous flaw for real-world policy planning.
#2144: AI Wargaming: One Model or Many?
Should geopolitical AI simulations use one model or many? We debate the pros and cons of a single-model approach.
#2137: Wargaming's Methodology, Not Magic
Most AI wargames are just expensive role-play. Here's the professional methodology they're missing.
#2136: The Brutal Problem of AI Wargame Evaluation
Most AI wargame simulations skip evaluation entirely or rely on token expert reviews. This is the field's biggest credibility problem.
#2135: Is Your AI Wargame Signal or Noise?
Monte Carlo methods promise statistical rigor for AI wargaming, but the line between genuine insight and sampling noise is thinner than you think.
#2134: The Fog-of-War Problem in AI Wargaming
Why shared AI brains make secret-keeping a nightmare, and the four architectural patterns researchers use to fix it.
#2130: The Prediction Market Leak: Who Profited from the Iran Ceasefire?
A ceasefire in Tehran: peace or prelude to chaos? Our experts predict the next 30 days of war, markets, and revolution.
#2121: Israel's Russian Paradox: Arming the Enemy

#2120: The 14-Day Ceasefire: A Tactical Halt, Not Peace
A 14-day "ceasefire" between Israel and Iran is underway, but experts call it a tactical timeout, not a resolution. Here's why.
#2119: Will Iran's Regime Collapse in a Year?
We break down the gap between headlines and reality in Tehran after the ceasefire and Khamenei's death.
#2116: The Mathematical Nightmare of Air Defense
The math of stopping a shotgun blast with tweezers: why our missile defense fails against cluster munitions.
#2098: The Invisible War for the Radio Spectrum
Modern wars are won by controlling invisible waves, not just physical ground. Discover how electronic and cyber warfare merge to rewrite reality.
#2097: The Invisible Cloak: Frequency Hopping and Burst Transmission
Forget just encrypting data—learn why hopping frequencies and bursting signals are the real secrets to staying invisible and alive.
#2089: Open-Source vs. Military ATR: The Drone Recognition Gap
A public GitHub model spotted by a listener reveals the massive gap between hobbyist AI and lethal military drone detection systems.
#2085: When One-Third Opts Out: Israel's Internal Demographic Divergence
Israel's population is shifting dramatically. The Haredi and Arab sectors are rising fast, reshaping the economy, military, and national identity.
#2081: How Many Bosses Between You and a Four-Star General?
We break down the Army’s “brass” pyramid: from a private’s foxhole to the four-star generals in the Pentagon.

The UN Security Council can authorize war, but owns no tanks. Discover the gap between legal authority and military reality.
#2044: Adversarial Thinking as a National Curriculum
Why the next generation of engineers must learn to "break" simulations and design for failure.
