Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

It's been months that I keep saying Hitler was far left. Every time, thousands of clowns show up in my replies to give me history lessons.
So I made a video to answer all these low IQ takes at once.

As France burns, everyone points the finger at immigrants. But they are a second order effect of the real culprit. Immigration is encouraged by the lure of subsidized living on welfare. The root cause of France's problems is The State.

Elon Musk often says: "Patents are for the weak."
Why does he say that? In 2014, Tesla opened up all its patents. Anyone could use them. Everyone thought it was a PR stunt. It was actually a declaration of war. Elon's point was that patents mostly serve to slow down progress, protect the positions of giant corporations, and make lawyers rich. Not to innovate.
His logic is simple: if your competitive advantage lives inside a legal document, you're already dead. The only real moat is your speed of innovation. If you move faster than everyone else, you don't need patents. If you need patents to survive, it means you've stopped moving fast enough.
The strong build. The weak file.
And AI is about to make that sentence true for the entire economy.
Take biotech. For 50 years, starting a biotech company meant a PhD, ten years in a lab, access to closely guarded knowledge, millions before your first proof of concept, and a network in the right academic and regulatory circles. Knowledge was scarce, access was scarce, and that scarcity was worth billions.
That scarcity is dying.
I genuinely believe we're entering a world where anyone will be able to start a biotech company. A 19-year-old with AI agents will be able to explore molecular spaces that entire labs used to spend years mapping. Trade secrets, credential rents, access rents, positional rents: all of it is about to blow up.
And look at what's already happening. Some of the first calls to "urgently regulate AI agents" are coming from established biotech players. Coincidence? When your business model depends on scarce knowledge and knowledge becomes free, you're left with only two weapons: the patent and the regulator.
The two weapons of the weak.
Here's what's coming. A wave of panic. Dozens of labs and incumbents retreating behind their patents, filing lawsuits, and above all pouring money into regulatory capture. They won't try to build better. They'll try to make it illegal for anyone else to build.
Because the truth is, a lot of people in business were never strong. They were protected. They never won on product, on innovation, on speed of execution. They won because the market was locked. Because attacking their industry required hundreds of millions of dollars, years of approvals, and armies of lawyers. The wall was never their talent. The wall was regulation.
And when the wall comes down, we find out who actually knew how to build.
This isn't just biotech. Banking. Insurance. Law. Healthcare. Energy. Hardware. Education. Defense. Almost every industry where incumbents were sleeping behind barriers to entry is about to get hit by thousands of founders able to attack their business from every angle at once. With teams of 5 people and an army of agents.
Everyone gets to play now.
My conviction, and I'll say it plainly: a huge chunk of the S&P 500 could be completely flushed in the next 5 years. Not because those companies will make mistakes. Because their competitive advantage was never real. It was built on how hard it was to get in, and that difficulty is disappearing.
The weak will cry danger. They'll talk about safety, risk, disaster. Sometimes they'll be right on a specific point. But most of the time, what they're protecting isn't the public. It's their rent.
What's coming isn't a collapse. It's a renaissance. The biggest explosion of value creation in history, driven by people who were always told they weren't allowed to play.
Patents are for the weak.
And the weak are about to have a very bad decade.
They are afraid. AI will disrupt and "open source" everything, not just games and software. It will also go after almost all hardware and drugs.
Basically everything.
Some things sooner, some later.
Everything will change. Current ways of doing things must/will change.
Economy will look very different by 2030s.
1) Install any good software wallet
2) Write your words down
3) Store the words somewhere safe
4) Ignore all the influencers and the noise
5) live a peaceful life

Humans ate red meat and animal fat for 2.6 million years before chronic disease turned up, and the experts have looked carefully at the timeline and blamed the meat.
2.6 million years ago: first stone tools, first butchered bones. Marrow and brain on the menu. No heart disease.
1 million years ago: fire. The steak is now cooked. Still nothing.
300,000 years ago: our species arrives, hunting the largest, fattest animals on earth. No diabetes. No obesity. No statins. Presumably sheer luck.
10,000 BC: grain farming begins. Skeletons get shorter, teeth start rotting, bones show anaemia for the first time. The steak is not thought to be involved, as there was suddenly much less of it.
1800s: butter, lard, suet and dripping in every kitchen in Britain and America. Heart attacks so rare that doctors could go a career without seeing one.
1892: the leading medical textbook of the day counts 10 diabetics among 35,000 patients at Johns Hopkins.
1911: Crisco. The first seed oil sold as food.
1912: the first clinical description of a heart attack in a living patient. Coincidence noted and ignored.
1920s: heart disease becomes America's leading cause of death.
1935: melanoma is a rarity. Lifetime risk, 1 in 1,500. People work outdoors all day in a vest.
1958: diabetes reaches 1 in 100 Americans. Considered alarming at the time.
1960: obesity stands at about 1 adult in 8.
1961: butter is officially blamed. Public told to switch to vegetable oil.
1977: government dietary goals. Less red meat, less fat, more grain.
1980: doctors need a new name for fatty liver in people who don't drink. They had never needed one before.
1997: "adult-onset diabetes" is renamed type 2, because children have started getting it.
Today: obesity past 4 adults in 10. Diabetes past 1 in 10. Melanoma at 1 in 33. Fatty liver in roughly 1 in 3. Butter and red meat intake both down.
2026: investigation ongoing. Steak remains the prime suspect.

Public health nutritionist, on secondment to the Mongol army. Hungary, 1241.
Nutritionist: I've been through your food diary. There are no vegetables in it.
Rider: There are no vegetables on a horse.
Nutritionist: No grains either. No bread, no pulses. Where do you get your energy?
Rider: Lately, from Poland.
Nutritionist: I mean your carbohydrates.
Rider: I do not know this word.
Nutritionist: What did you eat yesterday?
Rider: Mutton. Mare's milk. Dried curd.
Nutritionist: And the day before?
Rider: We rode 60 miles. I ate in the saddle. Dried meat. Milk.
Nutritionist: That is a great deal of saturated fat.
Rider: Thank you.
Nutritionist: It wasn't a compliment. I'd like to see half your plate made up of plants.
Rider: I have no plate.
Nutritionist: The people you've conquered eat a very balanced diet. Wheat, millet, lentils, greens.
Rider: Yes. We noticed.
Nutritionist: I'm only thinking of your long-term health.
Rider: I have ridden here from Karakorum. How did you arrive?
Nutritionist: ...There was a coach.
Rider: You should eat more mutton.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

go fuck yourself @sama
claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman
technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness
to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease
this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!!
real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
In a game as old and studied as Chess, you need to ask yourself "why has nobody played this before?".
In 99.9999% of cases, the answer is that it was in fact played before, thoroughly studied for thousands of hours by several GMs, and deemed inadequate.
The reason Cramling was able to "create her own opening" is because The Cow was rejected by chess theory decades before social media was invented.
Takes like this make sense in a world where owning Bitcoin actually means owning Bitcoin. In 2026, the overwhelming majority of newcomers are simply getting exposure to the USD evaluation of Bitcoin via derivatives, mining stocks, and "bitcoin treasure companies".
You wanted BTC to become a mainstream. Well then you should expect BTC to behave like a mainstream asset. Count on 20-30% appreciation in the long run. Do not count on +400% within a year or two.
I would not rule out the possibility of Bitcoin going to $400k over the next 2 years.
People have forgotten how violently Bitcoin can move at the top of a euphoric cycle.
There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin:native.
The last 5 years have been relatively underwhelming compared to what came before. Bitcoin has lagged Gold, the S&P and the AI trade. Maybe this underperformance will be what fuels an overshoot over the next few years.
Silver's run to $125 was incredible. Gold added more than $20 trillion to its market cap in 2 years.
Bitcoin is scarcer, more liquid and globally accessible than both of them.
There is a real chance that those who believe in diminishing returns are caught off guard. There is an increasing amount of capital chasing a finite and decreasing pool of available Bitcoin.
$400k within 2 years should not surprise anyone.
