🚨 Perplexity just made every AI company look stupid with one announcement.
They're shipping a Mac mini that never turns off. You plug it in, leave it on, and it works through your files, apps, emails, calendar, 24 hours a day. While you sleep, while you eat, while you're on vacation, it's working.
> A full-time employee with a power cord sitting next to your coffee mug with no salary, no sick days, no meetings about meetings.
> Your company pays you $80K a year to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Perplexity just offered them something that works 24/7 and probably costs less than your monthly health insurance.
But the part that gave me chills is the name. They called it "Personal Computer."
The last time someone used that name was IBM in 1981. That machine killed typewriters, killed secretaries, killed filing clerks, killed an entire generation of office jobs.
They didn't call this an "assistant" or a "copilot." They named it after the thing that already replaced millions of jobs once before.
Same name. Same playbook. Different body count.
And they know exactly what they're doing.
SZA to @i_D on the rise of AI-generated music:
“It’s happening disproportionately with Black music. Why am I hearing AI covers of Olivia Dean, when Olivia Dean just came the f*ck out? She can’t even collect the streams. I’m also really offended by the type of Black music that’s coming out of AI. Weird, stereotypical struggle music.”
304 BILLION BARRELS.
That’s the real reason Venezuela matters.
Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude.
The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth?
Venezuela.
Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs.
It was never about fentanyl.
It was never about democracy.
It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.
Thomas Massie is going NUCLEAR on Trump’s regime change war in Venezuela.
“How did it work out in Cuba, Libya, Iraq, or Syria?”
“Do we want another Afghanistan in the Western Hemisphere?”
“This is about oil and regime change.”
“Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs, weapons of mass destruction, that did not exist.”
“Now it’s the same playbook, except we’re told that drugs are the WMDs.”
“James Madison warned us that in no part of the Constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war and peace to the legislature—not the executive.”
“The framers understood a simple truth: to the extent that war-making power devolves to one person, liberty dissolves.”
“By escalating toward war, we would predictably create countless refugees.”
“Are we prepared to receive swarms of the 25 million Venezuelans who will likely become refugees?”

22 years ago the U.S. did this in Iraq when they arrested Saddam Hussein.
Republicans and Democrats yelled “never again!”
MAGA voted for Trump to avoid this.
Last night history repeated itself as Trump attacked Venezuela and arrested Maduro. Now MAGA cheers and pretends the last 22 years never happened. Why? Because they can’t disagree with their cult leader.
