dont forget to imagine the best case scenario, too

🚨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.

my friends film came back :)

@thekayanova look into celeste oconnor

We need to see more examples of creatives living their dreams on their terms. All we’ve been shown is “be hungry and do whatever it takes” and we’ve seen how unsustainable and unhealthy living and creating like that is. Show me the creatives who rest and move with strategy please

your girl got her first PR gifting from Louis 💋🤏🏾

@alexisohanian @776foundation @GarvinLissie yay!! glad you like it. i'm always here if you need photos or videos, sprinkled with some swag in em hehe

Great shot, @meccaanism !! We had a great time with our Climate Fellows in Austin. @776foundation x @GarvinLissie

WHY SHIT NOT WORKING: EPISODE 7

What a great first night for our @776foundation summit! Got to spend a great night in Austin w Midnight in the Garden welcoming our latest batch of Climate Fellows.

There is no cool way to chase your dreams. it’s ugly, difficult, and embarrassing.

My personal foundation, @776foundation, is *BACK* for its 4th cohort 🚀 I'm giving away another $2M in up to $100,000 grants to 20 young people with BIG ideas who'll build over the next two years to fight climate change. Apply at 776.org for the opportunity to save the planet with us!

Next month we open applications for our FOURTH climate cohort. Sign up at 776.org to be the first to know when applications open👏

Today, I am leading 18 attorneys general in suing to stop this attack. President Trump doesn’t have the power to give your private information to anyone he wants. And his unelected billionaire friend can’t cut federal spending with the click of a button.

i don’t understand how this is legal bc his agency isn’t even a real us legal entity

Ahhhh we’re soooo excited!!! we now have the long awaited pink and blue frosting designs now available on our site 🤍🩷🩵 bioplastic jewelry inspired by and for the earth 🫧 . . . . #resin #jewelry #bioplastic #sustainability #ecofriendly

@Ariellex1_ it’s an outward projection of shame. it’s easy easier to conceptualization someone else being disgusting rather than your self

One day we’ll unpack how men view sex as something degrading that happens to a woman, and not something consensual that happens with a woman, and that’s why they view women who have sex as “less than”, Even though all humans have been having sex since the beginning of time😭

Gradually, then suddenly. That's how it happens, my friend. Gradually, then suddenly. Just keep going
