@YGrigori @yanisvaroufakis Dawkins is not smart. Yanis is but he never said what you claim and even so, he is no biologistist, neuroscientist, cognitive scientist, engineer. It is in the converge of these fields that I wrote the above. True AI might still be possible but the Qs of freedom and life remain.

[Christos @ChristosChirp]

@YGrigori @yanisvaroufakis What we have is not AI. Not by a long shot. Its a faxsimile of ... brownian noise. With that level of achievement, i would be very careful with equating natural with artificial intelligence. We hardly grasp what life is, let alone intelligence. Wisdom is essential but absent.

Ένα πρωτοφανές δικαστικό και κοινωνικό μέτωπο διαμορφώνεται τις τελευταίες ώρες στην εγχώρια οικονομική σκηνή, καθώς εκατοντάδες πολίτες και συλλογικοί φορείς προχωρούν στην αποστολή μαζικού εξωδίκου κατά του διοικητή της Τράπεζας της Ελλάδος (ΤτΕ) Γιάννη Στουρνάρα. Η δυναμική αυτή κίνηση έρχεται ως επιστέγασμα της έντονης κοινωνικής οργής για το καθεστώς απόλυτης ασυδοσίας που επικρατεί στην αγορά διαχείρισης των «κόκκινων» δανείων.

IN 1986 MIT FILMED A LECTURE THAT OPENS BY TELLING YOU COMPUTER SCIENCE IS NOT A SCIENCE AND HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH COMPUTERS

72 minutes from Hal Abelson and Gerald Sussman, the lecture an entire generation of engineers calls the one that rewired how they think.

-> The line that lands: computer science is about computers the way astronomy is about telescopes. The tool was never the point.

The real subject was always one thing -- controlling complexity. Everything else is detail.

Forty years later it reads like a prophecy. AI writes the syntax now. What's left is exactly what they taught: taming complexity nobody can hold in their head.

The language was never the skill -> the thinking was. This is where you learn it.

Most people chase the newest framework. The ones who watched this think on a level frameworks can't touch.

Bookmark & Watch today it, this one's a legend ↓

@yanisvaroufakis βρε Γιανη σε ακολουθω πιστα (για σοβαρους λογους) απο το 2010 σχεδον. Μια συμβουλη: δες το υφος σου οταν μιλας πχ στην ΕΡΤ κ πως μιλας πχ σε ενα ωραιο podcast πχ με τον Munchau. Θελουμε τον δευτερο Β, οχι τον πρωτο. Βγαινει ο εκνευρισμος σου ως υπεροψια. Με αγαπη

You have noticed that too. Google Search is getting worse. The results look professional but say nothing. The answers are longer but less useful. Every page reads like it was written by the same voice.

You thought Google was broken. It is not broken. It is being replaced.

Researchers published a paper at the ACM Web Conference 2026 proving what is happening. They call it Retrieval Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI-generated content is flooding the internet so fast that search engines are now showing you mostly AI-written pages. And the search engine cannot tell the difference.

They ran a controlled experiment. They started with a pool of real, human-written web pages. Then they gradually added AI-generated content until it made up 67% of the pool.

By that point, over 80% of the top search results were AI-generated. Not 67%. Over 80%. The ranking algorithm did not just let AI content in. It preferred it. The AI-written pages were better optimized, more fluent, and more keyword-rich than the human pages. They outranked the originals.

Here is the part that makes this invisible.

Answer accuracy stayed the same. The search results still looked correct. The information was still technically right. If you measured quality by accuracy alone, nothing appeared wrong.

But source diversity collapsed. Nearly every result came from the same type of content. AI-written. AI-optimized. AI-structured. The human-written pages, the ones with original reporting, personal experience, and genuine expertise, were buried.

The researchers describe a two-stage collapse. Stage one is Dominance. High-quality AI content silently takes over the top results. Everything looks fine. Accuracy is stable. Nobody notices. Stage two is Corruption. Once AI dominates the pipeline, adversarial and low-quality content starts slipping through. By then, the system is too dependent on synthetic sources to course-correct.

A separate analysis found that 74.2% of newly published web pages now contain AI-generated content. Organic click-through rates on pages with AI summaries have dropped 61%. The human internet is being outranked by the machine internet.

Model Collapse described what happens when AI trains on AI. The models get dumber. Retrieval Collapse describes what happens when search engines index AI. The results get emptier.

Both are happening right now. At the same time. And neither one looks broken from the outside.

The search engine still returns ten blue links. The links still load. The pages still answer your question. But the thing that used to make those answers trustworthy, a human who actually knew something, is being quietly replaced by a machine that sounds like it does.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.

Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.

The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."

An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.

Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.

The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.

No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.

Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

Κάθε Τρίτη πρωί, μετά την Δευτεριάτικη προβολή από τον ΣΚΑΙ άλλου ένα επεισόδιου του Ντοκυμαντέρ της Τρόικας, το μνημονιακό μπλοκ βυσσοδομεί. Ναι, αυτοί που κατέστρεψαν την Ευρώπη και έσπρωξαν την Ελλάδα στην μόνιμη χρεοκοπία, κάνουν πάρτι.

Ο κόσμος όμως τους κατάλαβε. Είδε τι έλεγαν μεταξύ τους σιωπηλά.

Οι ίδιοι που έλεγαν στους έλληνες ότι την πάτησαν που με είχαν ΥπΟικ, όταν έφυγα, έλεγαν: «Τώρα οι έλληνες την έχουν πραγματικά πατήσει».
