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.

BÜMED İhtiyaç Haritası - 19 Nisan İstanbul Yarı Maratonu https://t.co/NfY4iDOp7V

Merhaba,

Boğaziçi Üniversitesi öğrencileri BÜMED aracılığıyla desteğinizi bekliyor.

Her yıl Spor İstanbul tarafından düzenlenen İstanbul Yarı Maratonu’nda 10 kilometre koşusu için 19 Nisan Pazar gününü heyecanla bekliyorum. 🤗 Daha önceki kampanyalarımdan hatırlayacağınız gibi çok iddialı değilim; bugüne kadar katıldığım koşuları yarı koşarak, yarı yürüyerek hep tamamladım. Bu sefer de "önemli olan katılmak ve iyilik peşinde koşmak" mottosuyla kısmetse 10 kilometreyi bu muhteşem parkurda tamamlayacağım.

19 Nisan’da parkuru Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Mezunlar Derneği (BÜMED) İhtiyaç Haritası için koşacağım. Bu kampanya, Boğaziçili öğrencilerin yurt, kira, fatura ve benzeri temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak amacıyla oluşturulmuş bir destek havuzu.

Öğrenci olarak geçinmenin her geçen gün zorlaştığı bu dönemde, yapacağınız her katkı gerçekten büyük bir fark yaratacak.

Eğer siz de koşuyorsanız, parkurda bir araya gelmek için bana mesaj atabilirsiniz. BÜMED İhtiyaç Haritası'nı desteklemek için kendi kampanyanızı oluşturmak isterseniz, yardımcı olmaya hazırım. Beraber koşmayı / yürümeyi çok isterim 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Son olarak, 50 bin TL'lik kampanya hedefime ulaşana kadar verdiğiniz her destek için ben de bire bir destekte bulunacağım.

Desteklerinizi bekliyorum.

Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram."
Farmer: "That's rainfall."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not."
Activist: "It's still water consumption."
Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?"
Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient."
Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop."
Activist: "Technology..."
Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?"
Activist: "There must be a solution."
Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow."
Activist: [checks phone]

Total insanity from the recent Dahn lab paper. Batteries that last 27,000 cycles, equivalent to 7.5M miles!!!

Enough to go to the moon and back 15 times.

In the future, literally everything in your car will break before your battery, including you. You'll pass down your battery to your kids and grandkids and great grandkids.

And most surprisingly, these are NMC cells!

Most of the math students know the Fibonacci numbers, the sequence that goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,..., where each number is obtained by adding the previous two terms. So after 5 and 8, the next term is 13 because 5 + 8 = 13.

It’s very intuitive—you can find any Fibonacci number just by continuing the sequence until you reach the one you want.

But if someone ask you to find the one-millionth Fibonacci number, that’s not so easy to do by hand. What are you going to do—write out the first 999,999 terms and then add the last two to get the millionth? That would take an absurd amount of time.

What if there were a formula where you simply plug in a number—say, 1,000,000—and directly obtain the exact Fibonacci number? It turns out there is such a formula. The nᵗʰ Fibonacci number is given by the formula provided in image.

If you recognize the term (1 + √5)/2, that’s the golden ratio.

This formula is pretty incredible because each term inside the brackets is irrational. Yet when you raise them to the nᵗʰ power and subtract, all the irrational parts cancel out, leaving a perfect integer every time.
