Are you having a good Monday? The economy’s not!

- US 10-Year breaks the 5% barrier
- Mortgage rates break through 7%
- A second East-West Pipeline pumping station has been destroyed
- Brent is up to $109/barrel
- WTI is at $104/barrel
- Ansar Allah continues to hit ARAMCO facilities at Jizan, Abha, and Abqaiq after taking control of the Bab al-Mandeb
- Exxon’s Joliet facility is experiencing a total power outage this morning, taking off 275,000 barrels a day of refining capacity from an already strained market
- Dated (ASAP) oil is trading at $122 for Brent, Murban at $131, and Oman at $121
- Diesel has reached all time highs in the U.S. for 3 days in a row, now trading at $6.23/gallon

Oh, and Iran is likely to escalate again in the Middle East in the coming days.

Nice.

🛰🇸🇦 A third pumping station, PS-8 (24.4778, 43.3772), also appears to have been hit in the drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Crude Oil Pipeline, with a possible burn scar visible near what appears to be one of the station’s main crude-oil pump trains.

‼️ BREAKING: The threat actors who targeted Revolut with information-demand emails are now posting sensitive customer data, including that of high-profile clients such as tennis player Shevchenko and Römer, CEO of Gamdom/Skinscom.

They want Revolut to pay up. They say they'll release more messages, data and insights into how the Revolut team operates.

They're accusing Revolut of handing over sensitive information to countries outside its jurisdiction.

They accuse the company of negligence around privacy and the exposure of sensitive information.

De Niro: "I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can't love a country that wages stupid, inhumane wars, kills thousands of innocent people and indirectly causes the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can't love a country that takes healthcare away from millions and uses that money to enrich Trump's Epstein circle.

I can't love a country that sends masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, terrorize our neighbors and tear families apart.

I can't love a country led by a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me say it plainly: I can't love a country led by Donald Trump and his sycophantic Cabinet."

BREAKING: The Royal Saudi Air Force has bombed its own allies in Yemen, the Saudi-backed Giants Brigades, on the Bab el-Mandeb coast south of Mocha overnight, with dozens of casualties, per initial reports inside Yemen.

As Mocha fell Thursday, Yemeni commanders said the Saudi air cover they were promised never arrived. When the strikes came, they struck their own Saudi-backed forces. Yemen's entire Red Sea coast is now Houthi-controlled.

Anyone thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production next week: that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession. Prices & supply are global. Global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/

MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.

A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.

The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.

The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.

Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.

The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.

The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

BREAKING: Iran has struck a UAE-owned oil tanker with anti-ship ballistic missiles in the US-backed southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, while transiting under US escort, with the vessel now drifting and leaking oil, per IRIB.

Notably, for the first time Iran fired the missiles within 5 minutes of the futures market open.

Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar said Sunday he will work to revoke the citizenship of Oscar-winning filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor after their documentary “NAZA” won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

The film examines what it describes as Israel’s “calculated mass killing” of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and features testimony from IDF intelligence officers and soldiers.

Zohar called the film “vile” and said it “constitutes treason.”

By now, it's amply clear that the big bosses of US frontier AI labs are really, really scared of China.

And, fascinatingly, part of the answer why might be a tiny place in Inner Mongolia that you've probably never heard of: Ulanqab prefecture.

Heard of it? Didn't think so.

Even myself, who's traveled to Inner Mongolia twice, had never heard of it before researching this story.

This is because, at first glance, this place is pretty unremarkable. Check its Wikipedia page (https://t.co/QviNOPyRbP) and you’ll see the only thing it’s famous for is being the birthplace of He Pingping, who briefly held the Guinness record for world’s shortest man.

That’s it, that’s the list!

Otherwise, it's just a sparsely populated - 1.5 million people, minuscule by Chinese standards - stretch of windswept grassland on the Mongolian plateau.

Except there is one number that tells you there is more to this place that meets the eye: this tiny prefecture consumes nearly 1% of all of China's electricity - and that number is growing by double digit numbers every year.

And yes, I did write **consume**, not produce.

In fact, when you divide Ulanqab's electricity consumption by the number of households living there, each household in this remote corner of Inner Mongolia "consumes" about 105,000 kWh in electricity, roughly 10 times the U.S. average. Insane electricity consumption numbers.

So what are the Ulanqabese doing? Are they all running 10 American households' worth of appliances?

Here is another number that might clue you in on the answer: over the past few years, this unremarkable prefecture has quietly signed over half a trillion yuan (and, yes, that’s trillion, with a "T") worth of investment deals from all the major Chinese tech giants.

What is going on, you'll have guessed by now, is the most ambitious data center buildup anywhere on earth - and it's really surprising this hasn't been talked about more because the scale is beyond anything else, and by an immense margin.

Take Elon Musk's so-called "Colossus" datacenter in Memphis, Tennessee which he pitches as "the world’s largest AI supercomputer."

According to their own numbers (https://t.co/DZvBvJioua), Colossus has 200,000 chips, which, let's be clear, is already super impressive.

In datacenter lingo, this converts to roughly 5000-6000 "racks": you know, the fridge-sized cabinets full of blinking lights you see in every movie scene set in a server room.

How many racks are they building in Ulanqab? Over 5 million.

Yes, about one thousand times the scale of "Colossus" 🤯

I tripled-checked the number: it is indeed the official number published by authoritative sources such as "Science and Technology Daily", the official newspaper of China's Ministry of Science and Technology (https://t.co/PsbGlLbv5A).

This is an absurdly large amount of compute.

What we see appearing in this Inner Mongolian steppe may be the closest thing to a world brain humanity has ever built - a place where a large share of the world's thinking will physically happen.

And - as we'll see - what makes this story so fascinating is not just the scale, but why it's getting built in this particular patch of Inner Mongolian grassland which combines a number of characteristics unlike anywhere else.

If you believe, as I do - and as both China and the US obviously do as well - that AI will be the defining technology of the 21st century, this makes Ulanqab one of the single most relevant geopolitical places in the world right now.

The full story - the Chinese government plan Ulanqab is part of, energy prices, chips and the strategic questions this raises - is here: https://t.co/iqvSvcaOGc

When companies go public they must file paperwork disclosing their financials.

Doing so would expose the massive cash burn OpenAI is using. Therefore, Sam Altman can't go public but he also has run out of money.

Enter "whistle blower" Jacob Coxon.

It made no sense how an obscure nobody got 165 million views on his first X post saying AI could kill us all. Then he was on every news station within 48 hours, scaring the public.

This was a psyop to "regulate" the AI companies... aka give them government funding to "protect the public from the dangers of AI."
