Mike Levin@MikeLevin·
It should be a much bigger story that JD Vance flew to Hungary, stood on a campaign stage, and told voters to return a head of government widely documented for human rights abuses and democratic backsliding. Then, after his candidate lost, Vance said what had happened during the Hungarian campaign was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.” Was he describing himself? The Hungarian people rejected it all. Democracy held, despite America’s intervention, not because of American leadership. The United States has long argued that elections should be free from outside influence. That standard should apply to everyone, including us. nytimes.com/2026/04/07/wor…

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.” Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order. Augustine invented the doctrine. thelettersfromleo.com/p/something-ca…

Why did y’all need a research paper to tell you that if no one has a job companies don’t have customers
AI Highlight@AIHighlight

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now. The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left. Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops. If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time. The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy. They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand. The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker. The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

🚨 Netanyahu: “This is confidential… and can’t be leaked.” Too late, Bibi. Tucker Carlson just dropped the leaked interrogation tapes exposing how Netanyahu allegedly funneled $35 million a month from Qatar to Hamas using American tax dollars as a divide-and-rule strategy to weaken the Palestinian Authority and block any peace deal.

I can’t imagine why this has to be answered again, but here goes. Because there are Islamic scholars who professionally use the library. Muslims pray five times a day on a very strict schedule. They do not just pray sitting down quietly. They have physical gestures to do and words that need to be spoken out loud. The scholars asked if there would be a room that they could go to where they could privately do their thing without interrupting any of the other library patrons. The Vatican said yes, and provided them with a small space.

@FatherChrisVor1 And why did he put a muslim prayer room in the vatican?

Stanford just tested whether LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters’ AI legal research tools are really “hallucination-free,” as they claim. Spoiler: not even close. Here’s what the study found.

Thomas Massie just went nuclear on Trump’s DOJ for bringing zero “charges, arrests, or investigations” over the Epstein files. “Who should be investigated?” “I’ll name them right here.” “Leon Black... Jes Staley, accused of terrible things... Leslie Wexner.” “Why did the FBI list him as a co-conspirator in their own documents in a child sex trafficking case, and then tell him that they had no questions for him?” “Over 3 million documents describing horrible things, unspeakable things, much of it redacted.” “Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide.” “But I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States.” “Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who has since been stripped of his royal titles due to his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested.” “Peter Mandelson, who previously served as UK’s ambassador to the United States, resigned in disgrace from UK’s House of Lords and the Labour Party, and he’s been arrested.” “Former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjørn Jagland, has been charged.” “But we don’t see any charges, arrests, or investigations in the United States.” “What do we see?” “We see our FBI director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas.” “We need justice.”
