Researchers mathematically proved that AI will cause something worse than mass unemployment.

They call it “The Tragedy of the Cognitive Commons.”

Every industry relies on a shared pool of deep professional expertise. This expertise doesn't just magically appear. It regenerates generation after generation.

How? Through struggle.

Junior employees do the hard, repetitive, frustrating work. In exchange, they slowly build what researchers call "Internalized Mastery."

But right now, AI is completely annihilating junior-level work.

Companies are celebrating massive productivity boosts by automating the entry-level grind. (Anthropic’s own data shows their technical junior hiring has plunged 33% as AI agents take over the pipeline).

It looks like efficiency. But it is actually a time bomb.

The researchers highlight a concept called the "Validation Tether."

Effective human oversight of AI depends entirely on deep domain expertise. When an AI hallucinates or makes a critical error, a human expert catches it.

The experts validating AI outputs today look competent because they spent a decade doing the grunt work before AI existed.

The terrifying question the paper asks is this:

Who comes after them?

When the current generation of experts retires, there will be no one left with the Internalized Mastery required to spot when the machine is wrong. We are completely severing the pipeline that creates human competence.

We are trading our long-term intellectual independence for short-term productivity boosts.

Every time you let AI bypass the struggle, you are borrowing expertise from the future.

And the interest rate is our ability to think for ourselves.

The US capital needs are entirely funded by Europe and China.

As the US is becoming adversarial, those much needed capital flows will be stopped if not reversed.

@drandreasbeck Deutschland bucht die Zahlungen der Krankenkassen an Ärzte und Kliniken (rund 8 % des BIP) weitgehend als Staatskonsum. In den USA laufen Medicare und Medicaid (rund 6 bis 7 % des BIP) als Sozialleistungen an Haushalte und tauchen im privaten Konsum auf.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.

The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.

Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.

Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Wake up.
Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.

In 2025, we published a bold proposal to use fusion reactors for gold production.

And now we’ve done it: Mercury transmuted into stable gold, using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record set by CERN in 2025.

We’ve reduced alchemy to a series of difficult but tractable engineering problems.

[daily prophet @Michael03012649]

@RayDalio What about this:

[Marathon Fusion @MarathonFusion]

Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.

Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.

Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Putin has ordered a major escalation of sabotage operations across Europe according to the WSJ.

What…

[WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 @WarMonitor3]

BREAKING: The German Bundeswehr believe there is an imminent Russian sabotage attack on German military bases or Ukrainian production facilities and have raised the threat level to its second highest level as significant.

Wow…

Interesting dispatch from Moscow

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️BREAKING: A leak site published 421.179 internal emails from Germany's far-right AfD, including the mailbox of ex-leader Alexander Gauland.

ICD found it shows AI-written summaries, not the emails. The newest is from 12 September.

Its own index file names a server "afd_exfil".

There is a lot of Russian propaganda in Europe. They have invested as much money in it as in weapons during this war. This is a massive financial program spanning decades. Russia has been waging a hybrid war against Europe, including Italy, France, Britain, and Germany, for a long time. It just isn't waging a full-scale war against them as it is against us. Because we had the same thing – a hybrid war. Russian narratives across absolutely all television and media platforms, on the internet, and on social media.

People should not be pierced through and brainwashed by waves of narratives from the Russian Federation. Because it is up to France, Ukraine, Italy, and Spain to decide how to live and whom to elect. Russia cannot influence Italy's choices and freedom. Italy is a free country, just like Ukraine.

The Russians will seek to exploit far-right movements, religious movements, faith, migration, and gender. Russia doesn't care what issue can divide society: from religion to language, Russia will always find it and strike there. We are seeing this now not only in Europe – they also have influence in the United States of America. They have a very significant wave going on there, and their network is operating.
