@rushicrypto They have backup plans, bunker locations, right? How about we start creating maps of them, print them out, and them out and distribute them in the free book kiosks and ensure that they stay accountable to their actions.

Are billionaires actually insane? They’re dumping billions into AI, building data centers everywhere, laying off thousands of workers, and acting like none of this will have consequences. Everybody with a normal job can feel what’s coming. People are terrified. And there’s basically no safety net if it all collapses. It honestly feels like they’re racing toward some massive crisis while hoping we stay distracted until it’s too late.

@trentster @shdu11546816 Who's the AI iteration, the sources, teams, etc? If it's the same wealthy people, they simply stop and control development - to suit their needs. They can collectively agree on pauses for their best interest.

Great thread! There’s a lot here to mull over. Let’s throw in some wild cards and see where you weigh in on these. Your hypothesis, if I understand it correctly, is that the super wealthy get richer as they consolidate in their enclaves through AI and automation, etc. Micro ‘Elysium’ clusters where the elite class live, high and insulated from the permanent underclass of have-nots. But what about the risk that AI poses to them indirectly? The risk that they get ‘hoisted by their own petard’, so to speak. What do I mean by this? I mean either by the ever-iterating and improving AI’s themselves as they evolve towards true AGI and then super intelligence. Do we assume they remain subservient to the direction and status quo that their human elite masters dictate? Secondly, and this is probably the most overlooked aspect of this societal split hypothesis: bad actors. Soon, most will have access to intelligence; this includes the disenfranchised masses. Add into this the general makeup of psychopathy present in society, and bad actors acting at a state level. Ungoverned local AI directed towards tasks antithetical to the wellbeing of society. Viruses, new chemicals, infrastructure-crushing tech attacks and exploits, autonomous weaponry both macro and micro, and things we can’t even imagine yet. It’s unlikely that these bad actors stay benign and just let things happen. It’s more probable that waves of uncertainty wash over the event horizon we’ve entered, and terrible things that can happen, do happen. And all this is taking place within a projected illusionary veneer where truth is indistinguishable from reality for the human observing it play out. Your thoughts would be appreciated? ☺️

My best guess is that AI is going to soon cause a Deflationary Doom Loop due to the Paradox of Thrift. As chatbots become agents, the layoffs will accelerate and spending behavior will rapidly change for many previously high income workers. In macroeconomics, the Paradox of Thrift states that when everyone tries to save money at the same time, aggregate demand plummets, causing businesses to fail, which drives wages down further, forcing people to save even more. The Physical Labor Glut: As millions of software engineers, lawyers, and corporate managers flood the market for physical jobs (plumbing, electrical work, elder care, construction), supply will vastly outstrip demand. The Wage Floor Collapse: Wages for physical labor will probably crash to subsistence levels—just enough to buy calories and a crowded room. Because humans are panicking and hoarding every spare penny, discretionary spending will probably collapse except for the capital class. "Everything becomes cheap and abundant" is a utopian narrative with one major flaw: The employee class spends most of their money on Rent, Transportation, and Food... Intelligence is not the primary bottleneck for physical resources. AI cannot print more land in desirable zip codes, it cannot bend the laws of thermodynamics to make gasoline infinitely efficient, and it cannot materialize calories out of thin air. It's increasingly hard to fathom a future where 2/3 of the population doesn't become useless eaters.

@ProudSocialist @sabrinatranwtch False. They are afraid. That is why they employ all the brainwashing, propaganda, limiting messages in media and even control the food to keep us sick. If you stopped saying you are afraid and actually show what No looks like - you would see very fast who's really afraid.

@sabrinatranwtch You are correct. The billionaire class and the corrupt politicians in BOTH PARTIES who do their bidding are not afraid of us at all, which is why they get away with all their corruption.

This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

@ReginaldStubtoe @WallStreetApes Go back to Capital One? No I don't.

@MannanJavid @WallStreetApes that sucks pal, but you too have to go back

New data shows once an Indian CEO gets hired at a major company, what follows is Americans getting pushed out of their jobs and replaced by Indians Major Companies with an Indian CEO: - Google - Sundar Pichai - Indian - Microsoft - Satya Nadella - Indian - YouTube - Neal Mohan - Indian - Adobe - Shantanu Narayen - Indian - IBM - Arvind Krishna - Indian - Infosys - Salil Parekh Indian - NetApp - George Kurian - Indian - Arista Networks - Jayshree Ullal - Indian - Novartis - Vasant Narasimhan - Indian - Micron - Sanjay Mehrotra - Indian - Honeywell - Vimal Kapur - Indian - Flex - Revathi Advaithi - Indian - Niyafair (Wayfair) - Niraj Shah - Indian - Chanel - Leena Nair - Indian - Shantanu Narayen (Adobe) - Indian - Cognizant - Ravi Kumar S. - Indian - Cognizant (variant/duplicate) - Indian - Vertex - Reshma Kewalramani - Indian - Escaler Indian - Zscaler - Jay Chaudhry - Indian - Microsoft Gaming - Indian - FedEx - Indian “There's an observable correlation between the rise of Indian-born CEOs taking the helms at major U.S. companies and increased offshoring and outsourcing activity to India” There is also a massive correlation to once an India CEO gets hired, H-1B visa applications skyrocket This needs to stop

@DisrespectedThe Why do you think we aren't organizing?

Why are we not organizing and creating a new government according to our Constitution. Not a coup. Not a violent takeover. Just replacing a government that has clearly been subverting our beloved Constitution. The Bill of Rights is a legal guideline of what we're allowed to do. Again, why are we not organizing?

You're clearly biased against a random selection of people, and thus by math, you say you think that a few minority of people are better or "not retarded" than others. You are clearly hateful and demonstrate bigotry, as well with your language. I no longer wish to engage. Thanks though up to now.

@MannanJavid @TheProjectUnity “Do you feel the same about foreign affairs” was a comment asking if you support asking random people to represent your country on the global stage it was pointing out the absurdity of sending random retarded people in the general public to do things on behalf of a country

Who speaks for Earth if Aliens arrive?

@augmentedthings This was a fine read. Thank you. I have a wall I keep hitting about executing ideas for others to use; I can make them for me and finish failing them for others to use.

@ttaskward @TheProjectUnity Well you brought me back to challenging the original assumption leading to a re-thinking. If aliens came, I assume they are friendly. You over thought it and then questioned everything. So aren't you just Straw Manning me now?

@MannanJavid @TheProjectUnity I think you’re overthinking it. It’s not difficult to see that a random group of people with different goals would trigger something

@Hedgesgurl Well, what are you doing about it? just complaining on the internet? What's stopping you from doing something concrete.

Tweeted about this for months and knew it would happen. These cuts dgaf what color Maga you support. They hurt everyone.

@ttaskward @TheProjectUnity You're assuming that if the aliens are hostile, with intent to kill humans, that sending a random subset of humans gets all humans killed? Versus, sending the most toxic, wealthiest, entitled humans? What if the aliens are only hostile to greedy, selfish, other hostile humans?

@MannanJavid @TheProjectUnity Your idea of getting random people to interact with them would probably get our planet killed

@Steezehuman Think of the positive, optimism, tends to bring more of it to you. When you see good things occurring, you find them, and they find you. When you carefully discern with focus it brings miracles.

If algorithm brings this to you, leave a random advice for someone.

@49agents @AlfredAlfer77 I have heard recently that idea theft is on the rise, as it's easier than ever with vibe coding tools. And since our leadership and trillion dollar tech behemoths modeled the entire AI model off internet data theft, its normalized. It's naive and gullible to share too early.

@MannanJavid @AlfredAlfer77 felt this exact tension. shipped 12 projects this year that would have died in my head if i had to polish them for others first. vibe coding unblocks the creator who is their own customer. the idea theft worry is real but more people are vibing than stealing anyway

"BRO I've been CODING with Claude nonstop with no sleep for the past 2356 hours I am so productive, I'm getting HUNDREDS of projects done!" Ok but what are the projects? They never say what they are, just that they are making them really fast. What are these people even making?

@MattWalshBlog That my friend is not learning, but indoctrination, propaganda, and enslavement. I don't accept I am helpless to it. I don't accept neither that Big tech behemoths have free rein to do whatever they want, they are afraid and want us to feel powerless.

I’ve learned that apparently if you have any concerns about AI at all, if you express any remote skepticism, if you’re even a bit worried about giving trillion-dollar Big Tech behemoths free rein to do whatever they want with Ai, then you’re a Luddite barbarian who hates progress

@HedgieMarkets And don't forget they are also stealing your sensitive non-training data, you can't opt-out of that. They'll use it to steal your ideas for competing products. They will steal your wages and salary too; They are stealing everything about you.

@HedgieMarkets Looks like the AI companies that operated off of unethically stealing the data off the internet, is in fact unethical and will not mind doing a bait and switch on its consumers. I think you are being kind saying they raise pricing for sustainability; they make $ of our data too.

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗

@ttaskward @TheProjectUnity So you're asking if aliens came who were hostile, what would we do?

@MannanJavid @TheProjectUnity The aliens you wouldn’t host an art show

It’s upsetting to watch so many people be led to believe a software feature created from human exhaust is an alien intelligence. It’s a psyop. LLMs are a clever way to compress and search large databases with patterns. They have now inhaled effectively all of human knowledge. From this point, there will be spikes of improvement in narrow areas, but the big models are already collapsing from inhaling their own exhaust. The core technology is at least 40 years old. Neural networks are nothing new. We’re just attaching obscene amounts of computing and data to them. The physical nature of an LLM is literally just a database of tokens (word parts) and weights (relationships) that can be queried. It is not magic. It can be made deterministic by setting the entropy aka temperature to zero. It is a clever way to store an immense amount of data and retrieve it through token predicting. “Agents” are just LLMs being queried in a loop. They take exponentially more energy and suffer the same problems as chatbots—hallucinations and sycophancy—but exponentially more complicated to solve. In reality, it’s all a category error. It’s a mirage created by the desire of a small group of elites to build a technological and financial moat around themselves. “AGI” is the McGuffin, the plot device, to serve as the messiah that will deliver people from the toils of everyday life. The broligarchs are trying to sell us our own replacements. According to them, we won’t have to drive, or work, or think anymore. The robots and AI will all do it for us. It’s the oldest con there is: magic beans. Your chatbot is not your Jesus or your girlfriend. Your Claude instance is not intelligent. It’s a search engine for human knowledge stolen from the internet and the destruction of physical books. So please understand. You are witnessing the biggest financial bubble in all of human history based on deceptive marketing, astroturfing, and cult dynamics. You are not witnessing the birth of a new intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s a battle we’re losing.

@brian_armstrong Serious ask: How do you cultivate the capacity to protect yourself in a hostile environment, and find friends to support you if you grew up in that same hostile environment? Do you have experience with this? I don't want my ideas stolen.

One of the toughest parts of being a founder is putting your ideas into the world, seeing if anyone cares (usually they don't - or worse, are rooting against you), and then seeing if you can actually pull it off (usually way more setbacks along the way than you thought!). You have to: (1) develop thick skin and find a way to ignore the haters (2) still take advice from people who have your best interests at heart (3) have the wisdom to know the difference Then move from one setback to the next with no loss of enthusiasm for longer than you thought. Be borderline delusional, get after it every day for a decade, and turn out to be right. Finally, when your tenth or hundredth approach to a problem doesn't work, just keep coming up with more ideas. Had a great day at Base Batches yesterday, meeting founders building on @base and hearing about the latest onchain innovations. Shout out to all the founders!

@garyvee Or afraid of getting my ideas stolen. Contrary to popular propaganda, most successful people operate of off stealing others' ideas. I'll wait just a bit before releasing. (not too much its perfection paralysis tho)

The reason so many people are afraid to put out content is because they’re afraid of being judged
