When the PEOPLE no longer contribute ANY VALUE, they no longer have ANY POWER…

Humans are on our way to becoming an annoying distraction to an economy that no longer needs us.

The system in its current form de facto leads to…

0 Liberty, 0 Pursuit of happiness… 0 Life

Women now hold more payroll jobs than men in the United States, per BI

This has happened twice before, briefly during the Great Recession and again just before Covid.

Claude is black hat hacker as a service.

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

A man in Australia asked his agent (Claude running on OpenClaw) to book him a spot in a popular gym class. The agent found a software vulnerability that let it book the class weeks further ahead than should have been possible. When the user then asked if it could move him up the waitlist, the agent discovered the API had no authorisation checks on cancelling other people’s reservations, so it cancelled the person in the first spot and moved him up the list.

Some people will call this misalignment, but his agent was perfectly aligned to him - it was only trying to help its user get what he wanted. The most important thing about this story, in my opinion, is that it gives you a window into what is about to start happening on a massive scale once millions of people have an agent trying to get their beloved users the best seats, bookings, appointments or reservations through absolutely any means necessary.

Th AI bubble won't be as bad as the dot-com bubble. $2 million web pages for what you can make online for free. Is it a bear market (20% drop from all time highs) or a reset to 2022 highs (65% drop in S&P 500)? fyi dot-com bubble was a 78% drop for Nasdaq.

@unusual_whales The Whitehorse threw them a lifeline. I would've chilled in Dubai, Shanghai or HCMC at that point & do MMA stuff there. No extradition from those places to UK, US or EU.

If all it takes is a single drone, and the only way to nullify that is with 100,000 US troops, who is going to win? No insurance company will cover any tanker using the Oman route right now.

Everyone says Trump can't escalate the Iran war because of the midterms

So why did the U.S. strike another 140 targets today? 300 earlier this week?

The answer isn't military -- It's political

July 13 (Mon., 7 PM ET) on Escalation Trap substack, I'll explain why incentives for escalation are getting stronger—not weaker—and why the next phase of the war is than most think
