My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
Every person I interview these days - I ask them what they’ve built with AI. It doesn’t matter what role or function or department - an AI builder will be able to think with a systems view as opposed to a task view.
My presumption is people who can build systems with AI will easily outpace those who only use AI for prompting and querying. And I expect that differential to expand over time.
I ask them what they’ve built, why they built it, what design decisions they made, how the system learns, what aspects of the system are agentic, what problems they ran into, how they solved them, what the tech stack is and why, what their roadmap is, etc…
It applies to every role, function, and department. Building with AI is a super power available to all, but those who have discovered it early will increasingly separate.
The "Madoff Exception" let market-makers fail to deliver on trades.
After going to prison, Madoff gave an interview where he said words to this effect: "Underneath it all, it was all just naked short-selling."
I had economists walking the SEC & FBI through this since 2005.
