When will you understand? You are playing a game of friends and enemies, when you have only yourself in this life.

🚨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.

@NYboateng God do am for you finish Prof. Soon time koraa .

🔥🔥🔥🔥. Anytime I remember what you said in 2020, then I'm motivated to go again

Proud moment for me today. I was a guest lecturer at one of the top 200 universities in the world. Grateful for the opportunity.

I called my world best via FaceTime and I’m amazed at how beautiful she looked this morning. As beautiful as her mother .

PhD students getting ready for their "defense"

I was in a seminar today that spoke about this paper .

If this isn’t the purest form of love then I don’t know what else is.

7 weeks and 4 days without my World Best’ food. I’m becoming anemic. I miss the every sec question of her asking me “Babe what would you like to eat “. Love that woman .

@NYboateng Chale dem say if you no be immersed in your work dier then you no reach o .

😂😂😂

I met this dude last month and in a casual conversation he mentioned how he spent the last 3 months on a ship . I asked him what was up and he said oh “I’m measuring the velocity of the ice” for where ? He say Antarctica 🇦🇶. That’s what’s he’s doing for his PhD . Killers dey !!

Most people in PhD programs dey craze brutal especially those who are heavily immersed in their work . All they talk about at gatherings is just their work . Killers dey mad dey walk about Chale 😂.

SOOO excited to share this research. It has been many months in the making, and it’s the largest and certainly the most multilingual qualitative study that we think has ever been run!?

Every time Andrej Karpathy tweets, the whole timeline loses its mind. I always think about Fei-Fei Li when I see that. She has mentored some incredible people over the years. My guess is Andrej must have been one of her standout students.

Good times

😂😂

A kind supervisor
