The empirical juxtaposition of profound lamentation over Occidental mass homicides versus professed neutrality in the Gazan paradigm unequivocally delineates these subjects as archetypal hypocrites, inherently devoid of trustworthiness.
I got into YC S26 as a solo founder!
The last 15 months looked something like this:
> Started an API company from scratch
> Realized building infrastructure is insanely hard
> Grew slowly for months
> Then all at once
> Reached 210 paying customers
> Landed 10 unicorns + 70 VC-backed startups
> Started telling customers "not yet" because I couldn't afford to build everything they wanted
> Wait, I actually need funding
> Applied to YC
> Rejected
> Doubled revenue
> Applied again
Today I'm in.
To all my customers who trusted me when I was just some random dude from the internet, thank you.
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.

🚨BREAKING: NVIDIA WILL NOW PAY YOU OVER $22,000 A YEAR TO HOST A MINI AI DATA CENTER IN YOUR HOME.
Here's how it works:
A startup called Span (with NVIDIA GPUs + homebuilder Pulte) just launched a program that installs a "node" outside your house, the size of an AC unit.
What's inside one box:
→ 16x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs
→ 4x AMD EPYC server CPUs
→ 3TB of memory
→ a 15kWh whole-home backup battery
That's $200k+ of hardware sitting next to your air conditioner. You own none of it.
The deal for homeowners:
→ Free install (new builds first)
→ Span pays your electricity AND internet bills
→ You pay them one flat fee (~$150/mo)
→ Net savings can hit thousands a year
It runs on the "stranded power" your home never uses. The average 200-amp house wastes ~40% of its capacity. They're turning that into compute.
The vision is wild: Span says 8,000 of these nodes = a 100MW data center, but 5x cheaper and 6x faster to deploy. No new power plants. No 4-7 year grid delays.
AI demand is breaking the grid. Their fix? Skip the mega data center. Build it across thousands of suburban garages instead.
100-home pilot drops Fall 2026. Full rollout 2027.
The AI buildout just moved into your backyard.

Virtually nonexistent a century ago, these products now occupy a central place in our supermarkets and in our diets.
What exactly are ultra-processed foods? Why have they taken over our shelves so massively? And most importantly, what are the consequences for our health?
We have put together a comprehensive guide and investigative dossier to help decode this profound transformation of our food system.

When I first saw the hantavirus story I thought: given it's a single stranded RNA virus, Ivermectin is very likely to work--because IVM is effective with RNA viruses generally. Look what happened when I pursued it with Claude.
It clammed up, for "safety" reasons.
Buckle up!
