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.

Kemenkes mengeluarkan aturan "Pencantuman Label Gizi dan Pesan Kesehatan pada Pangan Olahan Siap Saji"
Berdasarkan Kepmenkes No. 01.07/Menkese/301/2026
Detailnya:
a. level A berupa kombinasi huruf A dengan warna hijau tua;
b. level B berupa kombinasi huruf B dengan warna hijau muda;
c. level C berupa kombinasi huruf C dengan warna kuning;
atau
d. level D berupa kombinasi huruf D dengan warna merah.
Keterangan:
1. Level A merupakan kandungan gula, garam, dan lemak yang lebih rendah dibandingkan level B, level B merupakan kandungan gula,
garam, dan lemak yang lebih rendah dari pada level C, dan level C
merupakan kandungan gula, garam, dan lemak lebih rendah dibanding
level D.
2. Level A tidak boleh menggunakan bahan tambahan pangan pemanis
(bahan tambahan pangan pemanis alami dan/atau bahan tambahan pangan pemanis buatan), baik melalui penambahan langsung dan/atau ikutan (carry over).
3. Level B hanya dapat menggunakan bahan tambahan pangan pemanis
alami.
4. Level C dan Level D dapat menggunakan bahan tambahan pangan
pemanis (bahan tambahan pangan pemanis alami dan/atau bahan tambahan pangan pemanis buatan).
Contoh pencantuman label ada di foto 3.
Pemberlakuan secara WAJIB akan diterapkan 2 tahun dari Kepmenkes ini diterbitkan.
Alhamdulillah lah ya paling tidak ada progress untuk lindungi masyarakat dari bahaya konsumsi Gula Garam Lemak berlebih.
Mumpung IGRS lagi rame.
Ini gw pernah beberapa kali protes perihal isi Perpres 19/2024 perihal usulan IGRS ditajamkan dan menjadi penerimaan negara bukan pajak.
System rating yg awalnya utk awareness justru mau dijadikan senjata utk censorship dan mengendalikan aliran dana.
Israel dropped bombs on UN peacekeepers in Marjayoun, South Lebanon.
Two Indonesian UNIFIL soldiers were killed.
Their bodies were retrieved today.
Blue helmets. UN uniforms. Peacekeepers. Killed anyway.
Kick Israel out of the UN.
UNIFIL says Israeli projectile kills Indonesian peacekeeper in south Lebanon
——
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said an Israeli projectile killed a peacekeeper at one of its positions near the southern Lebanese village of Adchit on Sunday. Another peacekeeper was critically injured, it said in a statement released early on Monday.
The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday that the deceased peacekeeper was an Indonesian national, and that three others were wounded by "indirect artillery fire" near the Indonesian UNIFIL contingent’s position close to the village.
"We do not know the origin of the projectile. We have launched an investigation to determine all of the circumstances."
Disuruh bayarin listrik rumah sama ortu. Yaudah saya bikin dashboard di Grafana supaya gampang kelihatan kalo ada pemakaian listrik yang boros.
Sumber datanya dari Home Assistant, di-ingest ke Prometheus, lalu disajikan dalam bentuk dashboard di Grafana.
Mungkin berikutnya mau setup alert, supaya kalo ada perangkat yang konsumsi dayanya terlalu boros bakal kirim notifikasi ke WA / Telegram.
🚨 CATASTROPHIC BREACH: 240 Million Indonesian Records Exposed 🚨

BSD lagi heboh hari ini, ada pabrik pestisida kebakaran terus masuk ke sungai Cisadane, sungainya jadi putih gini.
Ikan-ikannya pada mati, dan air PDAM se-BSD bagian tangerang pada tercemar gabisa dipake mandi/nyuci
Kalau case gini mitigasi risiko dari pabrik dan AMDALnya dulu gimana deh
People who lack familiarity with the Arabic language and terms often make rookie mistakes, revealing their ignorance (Sometimes you miss the types of Bernard Lewis, at least they took the time to study some Middle Eastern languages) When English translations use the word “grave,” the original Arabic word is usually maqām—which literally means “a place where someone stood” or “a station.” In Persian, the equivalent is mazār (also Arabic) meaning “a place visited.” Neither word necessarily means “grave” in the literal sense.
This is why not every maqām or mazār refers to a burial site. Likewise, the unusually long “tombs” found in certain places are not meant to represent the actual size of a person’s body. Rather, early communities were often unsure of the exact spot where a prophet or saint had stood, prayed, taught, or was possibly buried. To honor the site, they demarcated a larger area as a precaution.
For example, the maqām of Prophet Yūshaʿ (Joshua) in Salt, Jordan stretches more than 10 meters. Nobody believes Prophet Joshua was physically that height.
It’s not impossible. But that’s another story.
Actually the earliest mosques didn’t even have minarets. during the Mohammed’s time the call to prayer was made from the roof of the mosque or a nearby tall house.
The word minaret itself reveals its strange origin since it comes from the arabic word manara, meaning a place of light or lighthouse. early square minarets like the umayyad and early abbasid ones in the visual were probably influenced by the hellenistic lighthouse of alexandria and by roman and byzantine watchtowers in syria.
