Polymaths in this era will be undefeated








Heads up EVERYONE. @netanyahu is DEAD Official X handle of @IsraeliPM just deleted this tweet REMEMBER my tweet about Israel Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant left a press conference to talk to Trump directly on call, on return he was visibly shaking. Now the PM's office is urging citizens to rely on verified updates. One thing is clear. @netanyahu is DEAD.





Alex Karp rips into the Palantir conspiracy theorists: “You're attacking the person who's protecting you— idiot.” “You may hate this, but there's one person protecting your rights to be a conspiracy theorist that actually has a seat at the table, and that person is me.” “You may not want to hear that truth, but it's fucking true.” “Maybe do a little more reading before you pontificate on your absurd and obviously ill-formed and many times stupid opinions.” “It's like fucking so stupid.” Via @tbpn



The CEO of a $380 billion AI company raised his hand and said something no tech executive has ever said before. Tax us. Dario Amodei runs Claude, one of the most powerful AI systems on the planet. He told Axios his technology will wipe out half of all entry level white collar jobs in the next few years. Marketers, coders, lawyers, accountants, call center workers and all of them in the blast zone. Then he proposed something that stunned Washington. A token tax on every single AI transaction his company processes. Three percent of revenue, sent straight to the government. Andrew Yang went on CNBC today and took it further. He said the entire American tax system is now broken. We tax companies for hiring people. Payroll taxes, income taxes, all of it penalizes human employment. But when an AI agent does that same job, the government collects nothing. Yang's proposal is simple and radical. Stop taxing labor and start taxing the machines that replace it. The host asked him directly. Tax the AI agents instead? Yang didn't flinch. "Yes, exactly." He pointed out that Amodei is not asking to be taxed out of generosity. He sees the backlash coming. He knows that when millions of Americans lose their paychecks to software, the anger won't be directed at Washington. It will be directed at Silicon Valley. "Since when does a CEO of a major company raise his hand and say tax me and mine?" Yang said. "He sees the writing on the wall." The numbers behind this are staggering. US employers announced more than 1.1 million job cuts in 2025 alone. A February 2026 poll found 63 percent of Americans already believe AI will reduce the number of available jobs. And Yang estimates that 20 to 50 percent of the 70 million white collar workers in the country could be displaced in the coming years. The people building the most powerful technology in human history are now publicly warning that it could break the economy that funds the entire American middle class. And one of them is literally begging the government to take his money before the public does something far worse.
