I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

In the U.S., the middle 40% wealth share rose from 25% in 1950 to 37% in the mid-1980s, then declined to 27–28% today. In contrast, across nine developed economies, it remains stable over time, typically between 38% and 49%.

The middle 40% wealth share (upper middle class p50-p90): why is the U.S. an exception? A new post from the GC Wealth Project by @stone_lis shows that the U.S. follows a reverse-U pattern, unlike the relative stability observed in other economies. 👉 wealthproject.gc.cuny.edu/news/article.h…

I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics. This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.

Il Direttore del l’Antiterrorismo USA si dimette scrivendo a Trump che la sua coscienza non sopporta la guerra in Iran che “non poneva nessuna minaccia imminente alla nostra nazione(…)abbiamo iniziato questa guerra per le pressioni di Israele e della sua potente lobby americana”

My new article on how widening extreme inequality makes the economy debt-dependent and why that is dangerous Important implications for how economy may handle AI as well

Israel’s Def Minister has announced a ground invasion of southern Lebanon and stated an intention to completely destroy Lebanon’s border villages, ‘like Rafah and Beit Hanoun.’ Israel is explicitly signaling a plan to use in Lebanon the same genocidal tactics it employed in Gaza.

The children were 5 and 7 years old. They shot them in their car. I don’t know who still needs to hear this, but murdering families for sport is not normal.

#Israel announces the official beginning of its ground invasion of #Lebanon - seeks now to depopulate the entire area south of the Litani river- or 10% of #Lebanese territory & home to some 300,000 - 400,000 people spread over more than 150 villages and towns.

Entire towns flattened. The Gaza playbook.

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

«Per andare a frugare nella fossa sbagliata ne hanno scavate altre quarantuno. La salma del pilota Ron Arad, disperso nel 1986, non era nella tomba d’angolo del cimitero di Nabi Shith, indicata al commando israeliano sbarcato nella valle di Hezbollah. Pur di scoperchiare il sepolcro di un uomo di nome Subhi Shukr, deceduto quasi trent’anni fa, hanno usato quattro elicotteri, le forze speciali, le uniformi finte dell’esercito libanese, una finta ambulanza. E bombe, tante bombe, su Nabi Shith e sui villaggi vicini. Quarantuno i morti, tutti libanesi. La mattina dopo, del blitz fallito rimangono i buchi per terra: uno di settanta centimetri, fatto con la vanga accanto alla lapide divelta di Shukr, l’altro, uno smisurato cratere aperto da un missile». (Fabio Tonacci, Repubblica).
