What timeline are we on man.

There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down.

The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries.

The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund.

That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them.

The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway.

Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online.

The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports.

And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother.

UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle.

Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.

OpenAI just exited the video generation business entirely. App dead. API dead. No video inside ChatGPT. Disney’s $1 billion deal, signed four months ago, is dead.

Read that again. This isn’t a consolidation into the super app. Altman told staff Tuesday that OpenAI is winding down all products using video models. Disney’s own statement says they respect OpenAI’s decision to “exit the video generation business.” The Sora research team is being redirected to robotics.

The reason is sitting right there in the competitive data. Anthropic hit $19 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026 selling text and code. No video generation. No image generation. No consumer social app. No Disney deal. One product surface: chat, code, computer use, all in one place. OpenAI looked at where every dollar of market growth was coming from and saw the answer: coding and enterprise.

So now they’re copying the model. ChatGPT, Codex, and the browser merge into one app. Instant Checkout killed today too. Every consumer experiment is getting cut. What remains is the Anthropic playbook: one app, code and chat, enterprise and developer focus.

The Sora numbers explain the urgency. Total consumer revenue across iOS and Android since September: $1.4 million. Peak month was $540,000. Every video generation burned GPU compute that could have been running inference for ChatGPT or Codex instead. OpenAI’s own head of Sora announced generation limits because chips couldn’t keep up. At $14 billion in projected 2026 losses, every GPU matters.

Google just inherited the AI video market by default. Nano Banana already lives inside Gemini. No standalone app to manage, no separate brand to support. Among the majors, they’re the only ones left. Runway, Kling, Minimax, Luma, and the other independents are still shipping, but none of them have Google’s distribution.

Disney put $1 billion in stock warrants on a product that lasted six months. The deal was announced in December. Characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars were supposed to be generating fan videos on Sora by now. Instead, Disney is writing a polite press statement about “respecting OpenAI’s decision” while its legal team unwinds a deal that never produced a single licensed video.

Four months from billion-dollar partnership to obituary. That’s how fast the AI product landscape reprices when the unit economics don’t work.

wow Anthropic just published a crazy report on AI replacing your job and er... you might want to look at this:

- #1 most at-risk jobs are computer programmers, financial analysts (rip excel bros) and customer service

- most at-risk workers are female, white, older and higher paid.

- BUT high-risk jobs *aren't* firing employees... they've STOPPED HIRING. biggest victims: college graduates (4X more likely to be fucked)

- entry-level hiring has dropped 14% since chatgpt launched (for highest risk jobs)

- SAFEST jobs are... bartenders, dishwashers and lifeguards - any manual labour that AI can't automate (yet) this accounts for 30% of the job market.

- this was the scariest part: AI models are capable of automating most work TODAY but are prevented because of law and slow company adoption. so its not even a fucking skill issue its an ADOPTION issue.

- now its important to understand that the study is based on real world data but also 'theoretical' intelligence. so take it with a pinch of salt. some jobs (manual labor) didn't even meet min. data reqs

i applaud anthropic on being so damn transparent - they're literally the company behind claude who will be responsible for these impacts

studies like this will help us figure it the hell out. LOT of change coming this year.

One-line summary: you have two years left to escape the permanent underclass

A bit longer:

1. AI greatly increases productivity and corporate profits

2. Rapid automation replaces human workers faster than new jobs emerge

3. Reduced employment cuts incomes and weakens consumer spending.

4. Falling demand prompts more automation to lower costs, deepening the cycle.

5. This feedback loop creates “ghost GDP”: economic output looks strong, but households grow poorer.

6. Fired workers spend less money → businesses make less → they use even more AI → more jobs disappear.

7. Stock market, loans, mortgages, and banks start breaking because they all assumed people would keep earning high salaries.

8. By 2028, this imbalance could trigger a systemic economic crisis where AI-driven productivity outpaces the human economy.

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

I fucking hate that instead of saying, "I'm eating Chinese food," British people say they are "having a Chinese" like someone abusing a railroad worker in the 19th century.
