O Norton é um dos maiores especialistas em geopolítica que conheço. Já rodei o mundo com ele e cada viagem foi uma aula sobre os países que visitamos.
Aqui ele trouxe uma ótima perspectiva sobre a 3ª GM e tendo a concordar com ela.

Zelensky agreed to not hit anymore power sources knowing the crisis the west is in. EU provides him with drones, UK govt starts going hard telling us to prepare for war.
I awake to find the evil dwarf has hit Moscow's oil refinery.
We are run by psychopaths. This isn't going to end well. For us.
The past decade has really made me reassess the nature of WW1 & 2.
What has Russia actually done to increase hostility with the West? Well, they blew up Nordstream, right? Nope. That was a CIA/Ukraine operation blamed on Russia. But they installed Trump in 2016, right? Nope. That was a CIA/FBI operation to hand the WH to Hillary Clinton. But they invaded Ukraine, right? Well, yeah. After decades of NATO expansion and provocations like Maidan, they finally did something about it.
So, in short, Russia did basically nothing to the West. And yet the West is ramping up for direct war against Russia all across Europe.
Does the public support it? No. Not at all.
Just as the debt supercycle hits many quadrillions a major war seems to have been created out of thin air.
So you might want to reconsider your historical understandings of world wars and recognize that you're currently living thru the latest bullshit chapter.
Anthropic just released a 37-minute guide on how to build AI agents that can automate an entire business.
It’s free, and it comes straight from the engineers who built Claude.
Agents that actually work, delegate tasks, and get things done on their own.

you guys should read about "AI 2027".
It's a prediction project made by former researchers at OpenAI & some other AI researchers back in April 2025.
https://t.co/AO1BnwGfJT
They gave a timeline of predictions of AI progress 2030. A lot of which has turned out to be correct. 1/2
INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT. Spend 2 hours with this. Claude AI FULL COURSE that teaches you how to BUILD and AUTOMATE anything. The people who watch this tonight will wake up tomorrow with a new skill. Watch it and bookmark it now.
I just went through Anthropic’s threat report & woah!
This is genuinely the craziest article I’ve read all month.
They documented hackers, governments, scammers and Chinese AI labs all using Claude in completely different ways.
& some of the cases are insane.
Here’s a TLDR;
⟣ A suspected Russian state linked group used Claude across phishing, intrusion, data theft and malware development, including rebuilding malware after security products detected it.
According to the article, more than 20 organizations were targeted.
⟣ ShinyHunters-linked hackers used AI agents to scan 1.8M Android apps for exposed secrets and help run breaches across multiple companies.
Anthropic says the agents did nearly all the work in some operations.
⟣ A China-based group built an automated exploit setup that could research vulnerabilities, build offensive tools and keep working against targets with little to no supervision.
⟣ Claude was also being used for government surveillance.
One consultant used it to build Lakana 360 for Mali’s intelligence service, a system designed to monitor roughly 25M SIM cards across the country, including calls, messages, voice interception, watchlists and automated intelligence dossiers.
The finished system runs locally, so even if anthropic bans the account, it won’t shut it down.
⟣ Anthropic found Claude being used across six weapons programs.
One Yemen-based group used multiple Claude Code instances while working on guided rockets, ballistic missiles and a hypersonic-glide project.
They actually tested one of the rockets, it failed, and they returned to Claude afterwards to diagnose the problem.
⟣ A Russia-based team was working on autonomous FPV kamikaze drones capable of identifying target classes, including humans, and approving lethal engagement without a human making the final call.
⟣ One China-linked project built electronic-warfare and air-defense suppression systems, then later changed its scenario to 12 targets in Taiwan, including radar sites, air bases and command infrastructure.
⟣ Anthropic found multiple influence operations too, including fake news networks, fake political accounts, propaganda operations and systems built to copy the writing style of real people.
⟣ Then there’s this fucking dating operation.
More than 20 dating apps.
> 4,700+ AI personas.
> 25,000+ people talking to them.
> Around 2.36M Claude messages in two weeks.
And when someone wanted a video call or social follow, real gig workers could step in to make the fake profile look legit.
⟣ Then Anthropic gets into distillation.
They say they’ve now caught campaigns from Alibaba, Moonshot, DeepSeek, https://t.co/ld9O2bPADg, Xiaomi, SenseTime and MiniMax.
Alibaba alone allegedly ran 151M+ Claude exchanges between May and July, peaking at almost 3M per day.
(I just wrote a piece on distillation before this)
> Moonshot: 23M+.
> DeepSeek: 12.1M+ in 14 days.
And this is where it gets messy.
Anthropic says Moonshot and DeepSeek were sometimes routing requests from their own users through Claude without telling them.
Those requests included internal company documents, source code, live credentials, surveillance data and other sensitive information.
⟣ Some labs were also actively trying to extract Claude’s hidden reasoning.
Anthropic says one lab tested 12,000+ different requests, each trying a different method, until it found techniques that worked and scaled them up.
That’s the TLDR.
Got me feeling like 👇
i genuinely have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a Lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
I’ve noticed how the right recitation can settle a restless mind faster than almost anything.
Lower stress, calmer breathing, more alpha waves in the brain. The early Muslims already knew this by experience. Subhanallah 😍
Your brain deletes most of your ordinary days. It keeps almost every minute of a night alone in a foreign city. What's happening there is actually one of the more beautiful things about how your nervous system works.
Your brain is a prediction machine. When it can predict everything, like your commute, your kitchen, your same six streets, it stops recording. That's why whole months at home just vanish. But put yourself somewhere it can't predict anything and the system flips. Every sign, every smell, every crosswalk registers as new information. Dopamine tags all of it as worth keeping. This is why one week abroad feels longer in memory than a month at home. Your brain literally kept more of it.
The second thing happening is quieter. At home, some part of you is always tracking how you're being perceived. Your boss, your friends, the people who knew you at 22. In a city where nobody knows your name, that entire system goes offline.
And when it goes offline, the bandwidth doesn't disappear. It gets redirected inward.
That's the "realizing how far you've come" part. Your brain is finally recording again, the self-monitoring is off, and you're far enough away from your life to see the whole shape of it at once.
You spend years too close to your own life to see it. Then one night you're crossing a street on the other side of the world, and you finally have enough distance to look.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
