245,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025.
53,000 more in the first 6 weeks of 2026.
AI is coming for white-collar jobs next — and most people's only income source is a paycheck.
Here's why the smartest people I know are buying rental properties right now:
Think of it this way, they are helping all the people associated with providing that table, the business owners, the labor, etc., same thing with that couch and everything else in that home they overpaid massively for all of these things so they could feel good about themselves, which they should because they put food on the tables of a bunch of other people 😀
My name is Stephen Martin. I am trying to get access to a nasal spray for this three year old boy, Brody DeVault.
He has Creatine Transporter Deficiency. The creatine in his bloodstream does not make its way to his brain. Without treatment, he will live a life of intellectual disability, and probably die young from a seizure.
There is a treatment which has finished Phase 1 clinical trials which may help him. I have spoken to the manufacturer, they will provide it to him under Montana's new law SB535.
But only if we can get them official promises from HHS that they will not be punished for treating a patient under a state law.
I have a meeting with the FDA on the 18th. Right now the single thing which most increases the likelihood of getting Brody treatment, is making sure that President Trump becomes aware of this before that meeting.
I'm posting this in the hopes that I can bring this to the attention of people who can, in turn, bring this to the attention of President Trump. The meeting is in 6 days.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Barbell strategy for killing it in an age of superhuman AI:
Simultaneously get as close to AND stay as far away from AI as humanly possible.
1. Get close — play with AI models, use them to help you think, ask them to teach you about the world, get them to help you create, work with them to write code, understand what makes them tick, embed them into your everyday life, have fun.
2. Stay far away — learn to tell stories, make eye contact, build a team, lead with courage, connect far-flung ideas, build lifelong friendships, debate persuasively, think forbidden thoughts, handwrite ideas, confess your fears, fall in love.
Spend less time trying to master mental transformations that are purely mechanical — building spreadsheets, analyzing trades, balancing accounts, writing code by hand, following playbooks, searching for needles in haystacks. These are the emerging no-man's land, squarely the domain of AI.
Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.

My first opportunity to use Robotaxi and it couldn’t pull out of the pickup spot. Pulled in and the car in front is just parked in this turnout. FSD couldn’t handle it. Now just waiting for support to fix. 11 mins and counting. I feel like my model 3 fsd could get out of this. 
PEPTIDES MASTERCLASS. A must listen if you’re peptide curious, peptide skeptical, bullish on peptides, or anti. The science, the uses, sourcing, concerns, and much more. @AbudBakri thank you for such an informative discussion.
.@satyanadella just put the whole "water" debate to rest.
Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!
@BernieSanders No thank you Bernie. Unless you plan to actually hand over the shares to every individual in the country, we want no part ofyour control plan.
@PeterDiamandis Mine keeps stopping and asking me another question. I’m sure there’s something I’m doing wrong. Claude code and coworker seem to be much better if I string through a bunch of scheduled tasks, but the Hermes agent doesn’t seem to continuously work.
@OrderOfRestore@elonmusk@C_3C_3 Has anyone figured out exactly what the motivation is by these English politicians to do this to the country? Are they somehow profiting from it? I’m not up to speed on all of this.
