Canada is run on a pyramid scheme if you don't increase population, pensions and healthcare will fail. The number of working-age people for every senior aged 65 and older dropped from 7.7 in 1966 to 3.4 in 2022, and is projected to fall near 3. Young people now pay more tax's to support a failing system than their predecessors did and doubtful they will even collect a pension when they reach retirement age as Canada's birth rate is dramatically declining and is producing half of what is necessary to sustain Canada's pensions and healthcare costs.

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.

The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.

The Confidence Problem: What a Grade 3-4 Math Question Taught Me About Betting Big on AI

If your AI strategy has no credible answer to “how do we catch the confidently wrong outputs?” — you don’t have an AI strategy. You have an AI hope.

🚨RESEARCHERS JUST MATHEMATICALLY PROVED THAT AI LAYOFFS WILL DESTROY THE ECONOMY.. AND EVERY CEO ALREADY KNOWS IT.. BUT NONE OF THEM CAN STOP..

Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper called "The AI Layoff Trap"..

They proved something terrifying..

Every company replacing workers with AI is also firing its own customers.. Every laid-off employee is someone who used to spend money.. When enough people lose their jobs.. Nobody can afford to buy anything.. And the companies that fired everyone go bankrupt selling products to an economy with no purchasing power..

Every CEO can see this coming.. The math is obvious.. Fire workers.. Lose customers.. Lose revenue.. Collapse..

But here's the trap..

No company can afford to stop..

If you don't automate.. Your competitor will.. They cut costs.. Undercut your prices.. Steal your market share.. And you die anyway..

So every company automates.. Knowing it's collectively suicidal.. Because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives..

It's a Prisoner's Dilemma.. And the researchers proved it mathematically..

The numbers are already stacking up..

Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year.. CEO Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that "within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion"..

Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI..

Goldman Sachs deployed an AI coder that lets one senior engineer do the work of a five-person team..

Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 alone.. AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half the cases..

80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation..

And here's what should scare policymakers..

The researchers tested every proposed solution..

Universal Basic Income.. Doesn't fix it.. It raises living standards but doesn't change a single company's incentive to automate..

Capital income taxes.. Don't fix it.. They change profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human..

Worker equity and profit sharing.. Narrows the gap but can't close it..

Collective bargaining.. Can't fix it.. Because automating is a dominant strategy.. No voluntary agreement between companies is self-enforcing..

Only one thing works.. A Pigouvian automation tax.. A per-task charge that forces every company to pay for the demand it destroys when it fires a worker..

The researchers call it a "Red Queen effect".. Better AI doesn't solve the problem.. It makes it worse.. Because every company sees a bigger market share gain from automating faster than rivals.. But at the end.. Everyone automates equally.. The gains cancel out.. And the only thing left is more destroyed demand..

The paper's conclusion is devastating..

This isn't a transfer from workers to company owners.. Both sides lose.. Workers lose their income.. Companies lose their customers.. It's a deadweight loss that harms everyone..

And no market force can break the cycle..

The AI layoff trap isn't a prediction.. It's already happening.. And the math says it won't stop on its own.

This has crossed the line. The Feb 15–Mar 1 window has passed. Now you say you can’t provide any confirmed timeline. Weeks of conflicting explanations and still no dispatch for Order #77749.

Escalate to senior management

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@Rotimatic Order #77749. Expected delivery: Feb 28, 2026. After persistent follow-ups, I’m suddenly informed of operational delays. Sales pushed for immediate purchase, yet delivery is now uncertain. Customers deserve transparency upfront, not last-minute surprises.

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic I need immediate escalation with your senior management. Arrange for call ASAP.

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic This is unacceptable, response is too generic. Will you provide me timeline ASAP

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic @rotimatic Are you expecting us to wait indefinite with no clear timeline. Its already Mar-3 and your Mar-1 timeline have already passed

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic Not a good customer experience

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic This still doesn’t address the core issue.

First it was within timeline. Then it was 8 days delayed. Now it’s “aligned with upcoming batches.” explanation keeps changing.

I need one clear answer: what is the confirmed dispatch date

shifting narrative is extremely disappointing

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic Now here you’re stating Feb 15–March 1 as if there’s no delay. Is the order delayed or not?
Was there a supply chain issue or not?
Please align internally and provide one clear, accountable answer. Customers shouldn’t have to reconcile shifting narratives.

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@rotimatic @Rotimatic This is exactly the issue — conflicting stories across channels.

My order confirmation clearly shows delivery by Feb 28, 2026 (I have the screenshot). Your email says the order is already 8 days delayed due to supply chain constraints.

@bookingcom No resolution yet after escalation on all front. Too bad customer experience

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@Bookingcom I paid extra for a Flexible Ticket yet I’m being asked to repeatedly “complete payment” through third-party links, face delays, and zero accountability. What’s the point of flexibility if customers must chase support and re-pay? Case: 40-838576899. Please investigate.

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@bookingcom What is email id on which I can provide details and escalate it further

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]

@bookingcom Your call centre and chat capabilities are of no use as they are not providing right answers. I have escalated it several times but no response from them. What are my options now?

[Anand Gupta @anand243244]
