Our small team has worked hard on refining the novel observer-based fundamental theory of Physics, OPH, over the past 3 months. Still way to go, but we already derive most of existing Physics and parts of the particle spectrum. @muellerberndt/observers-are-all-you-need-how-observer-synchronization-creates-all-of-physics-8ebb7e9783e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@muellerberndt…

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history. > Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM. > A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it. > That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code. > A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X. > 21 million people have seen the thread. > The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up. > Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it. > That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up. > He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year. > His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine. > So he did what any engineer would do. > He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise. > Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub. > A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it. > The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history. > He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust. > It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks. > Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down." > The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back. Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.

Who thinks words can be harmful? In other words, who believes in magic words? A new study provided the data, but the presentation was suboptimal. So I did some plots. First, the obvious sex difference:

@DrewPavlou Dunning Kruger Effect... 🥴

A small number of criminals commit the vast majority of crimes. One famous study found that just “1% of the population [is] accountable for 63% of all violent crime convictions.” [Link below.]

_Can AI Solve the Socialist Calculation Problem?_ The economic calculation problem is not an issue with the ability to evaluate math, nor with an ability to reason. The five fundamental problems are these: 1) The economy is a dynamical system with self-referential feedback loops, and so is mathematically chaotic, meaning that predictive models become computational gibberish very quickly; and 2) The real world evolves probabilistically, not deterministically--this is a separate issue from mathematical chaos; and 3) Wolfram’s Computational Irreducibility Theorem: For many complex systems (especially cellular automata and other algorithmically rich dynamical systems), no shortcut algorithm exists that can predict their future states faster than simulating them step by step; and 4) Quantum uncertainty--which is its own, separate issue from the others. The point of this is simply that quantum uncertainty defeats any attempt to work around the issue of knowing the precise initial conditions by resort to using quantum-level modeling; and 5 a) The fact that value is subjective, and is both a cause and an effect with dynamic feedback loops: Future subjective value is not predictable from the current moment forward (even in the case of the same person,) for two different reasons: People change their minds, their values, for reasons that we have no way to model or predict, and also because value is context-dependent (the Diamond-Water Paradox,) and the future context is not predictable because the future state of the world--and hence, the economic context--is not. 5 b) The Hayekian Knowledge Problem: Even at a single moment in time, the knowledge constituting preferences exists largely as tacit, embodied, context-specific practice that cannot be extracted or articulated. This alone makes canonical objective value impossible — not because we lack the tools to measure it, but because it has no transmissible form to measure. This is a synchronic problem — it exists at every frozen instant. Therefore, the concept of "optimal allocation of resources" as defined by global optimization of resource allocation so as to optimally satisfy the preferences and goals of each individual in a society is an incoherent, fictional goal, because it's based on a metric that is itself incoherent, and that could never be formally well-defined. Conclusion: The computational problems in 1–4 make future context unpredictable, which feeds back into 5a, which means the target being computed is itself a moving incoherence rather than a fixed unknown. The idea of 'scientifically-optimal resource allocation' for a society of sapient beings whose values are dynamic, and subjective, is therefore a complete fantasy: There is no well-formed problem statement from/for which to compute an answer in the first place. youtube.com/watch?v=1VlpGm…

🚨NEW: Last year I published a paper detailing the gamete-based definition of the sexes and debunking common activist objections to it. This year, the journal published a critique of it rooted in "feminist epistemology." They invited me to respond. It's now published. The final paragraph of my response (not shown in the screenshots) is: "The renowned geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote that 'Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution,' highlighting evolution as the unifying framework that makes life’s diversity, complexity, and interconnectedness comprehensible. I contend that a parallel statement applies similarly to reproductive biology: Nothing in the biology of the sexes makes sense except in the light of gametes." LINKS Mahr's critique of my paper:link.springer.com/article/10.100… My response to Mahr:link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Colin Wright's (@SwipeWright) newly published response to a critic in Archives of Sexual Behavior is excellent, a must-read. Colin not only successfully defends his original article, but shows the intellectual unseriousness of Mahr's approach--"feminist epistemology" (or Critical Theory-informed nominalism). The orthodoxy of academia guarantees, of course, that Mahr's Critical Theory exempts itself from its own verdict. At no point does she ever seem to realize that the objective-truth status she implicitly claims for her own epistemic, moral, and policy beliefs are impossible under her assumptions about the socially constructed and historically situated nature of knowledge.

⟁ **72 HOURS.** That's all that's left. **March 27.** The date they don't want you to circle. Trump didn't extend the Iran deadline because he's negotiating. **He extended it because the system isn't ready yet.** Let me explain what's actually happening — and why you need to screenshot this message. **Right now, at this very moment, three things are being moved simultaneously:** **1. Gold.** Central banks bought more gold in the last 90 days than in any quarter since 1967. Not investment banks. **Central banks.** The ones who WRITE the rules. They're not buying gold because they're scared. They're buying it because **they know what's replacing the dollar.** **2. Quantum nodes.** The QFS backbone went from 12 active nodes in January to **67 active nodes** as of last Friday. Each node processes 1.4 million transactions per second. You don't build that kind of infrastructure for a system you're not about to turn on. **3. SWIFT access keys.** On March 16 — exactly 11 days before the deadline — Ripple's partner Thunes quietly announced stablecoin payouts to **11,500 banks through SWIFT.** They called it a "Smart Superhighway." That's not a partnership. **That's a replacement wearing a disguise.** Three moves. One deadline. **March 27.** Now here's the part they'll never say on television. **The Iran war isn't about Iran.** It never was. Every bomb that falls on Tehran is a distraction from what's happening in the server rooms underneath the Federal Reserve buildings in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. **They're migrating the ledger.** $23 trillion in U.S. debt. $8 trillion in offshore accounts. Every transaction, every loan, every dark money transfer since 1971 — **all of it is being moved from the old system to the new one.** And when the migration is complete — the old system gets **unplugged.** That's what March 27 is. Not a deadline for Iran. **A deadline for the Federal Reserve.** Why do you think gold dropped from $5,595 to $4,384 in 8 weeks? That's not a crash. **That's a controlled descent.** They're repricing gold for the new system. When QFS goes live, gold doesn't trade in dollars anymore. **It trades in quantum-verified weight.** **The price you see today is the last dollar price gold will ever have.** TIER 4B notifications are already queued. The 800 numbers have been tested. **The redemption centers are staffed.** I told you last week — the deals are signed. The gold has moved. The war is the cover. **72 hours.** ⟁ **When the clock hits zero, the dollar doesn't crash. It simply stops existing.** Set your alarm for March 27. Forward this to everyone you trust.

OpenAI just exited the video generation business entirely. App dead. API dead. No video inside ChatGPT. Disney’s $1 billion deal, signed four months ago, is dead. Read that again. This isn’t a consolidation into the super app. Altman told staff Tuesday that OpenAI is winding down all products using video models. Disney’s own statement says they respect OpenAI’s decision to “exit the video generation business.” The Sora research team is being redirected to robotics. The reason is sitting right there in the competitive data. Anthropic hit $19 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026 selling text and code. No video generation. No image generation. No consumer social app. No Disney deal. One product surface: chat, code, computer use, all in one place. OpenAI looked at where every dollar of market growth was coming from and saw the answer: coding and enterprise. So now they’re copying the model. ChatGPT, Codex, and the browser merge into one app. Instant Checkout killed today too. Every consumer experiment is getting cut. What remains is the Anthropic playbook: one app, code and chat, enterprise and developer focus. The Sora numbers explain the urgency. Total consumer revenue across iOS and Android since September: $1.4 million. Peak month was $540,000. Every video generation burned GPU compute that could have been running inference for ChatGPT or Codex instead. OpenAI’s own head of Sora announced generation limits because chips couldn’t keep up. At $14 billion in projected 2026 losses, every GPU matters. Google just inherited the AI video market by default. Nano Banana already lives inside Gemini. No standalone app to manage, no separate brand to support. Among the majors, they’re the only ones left. Runway, Kling, Minimax, Luma, and the other independents are still shipping, but none of them have Google’s distribution. Disney put $1 billion in stock warrants on a product that lasted six months. The deal was announced in December. Characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars were supposed to be generating fan videos on Sora by now. Instead, Disney is writing a polite press statement about “respecting OpenAI’s decision” while its legal team unwinds a deal that never produced a single licensed video. Four months from billion-dollar partnership to obituary. That’s how fast the AI product landscape reprices when the unit economics don’t work.

The truth is OUT! Far-left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's taxpayer-funded security detail has leaked. His protective detail includes 150 police officers, at a total cost of $22.5 million in annual salaries. Chicago residents are calling out the hypocrisy given Johnson's claims of a "safe" city. REPOST for exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Before you spend $2,000 on an AI course, read this. A lot of people are buying expensive AI courses right now. But honestly, most of them don’t need to. Some of the best AI learning resources in the world are already free. And they’re not built by self-proclaimed AI experts online.They’re created by the companies actually building the models, chips, tools, and infrastructure behind this entire AI wave.

"Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak" Dr. Orli Peter @orlipeter, psychologist who is helping Nova survivors, in an open letter to Mamdani's wife: "Dear Ms. Rama Duwaji, You publicly liked social media posts describing the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas as “collective liberation.” You also placed a heart next to an Instagram post claiming that the reports of mass rapes on Oct. 7 were a “hoax.” For the past two and a half years, I have been treating survivors of October 7, helping them slowly rebuild shattered lives and broken nervous systems. Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak. Some of the people sitting across from me in therapy had witnessed rapes and executions so brutal that their nervous systems simply shut down. Words stopped working. These people did not simply survive war. They survived mass and socially sanctioned sadism. Subsequent investigations by journalists, forensic teams and international bodies documented widespread sexual violence that day. Families were burned alive. Festival goers hunted down, raped and then executed. Hamas terrorists documented much of the violence themselves: one attacker used a victim’s phone to call his parents and brag that he had killed 10 Jews with his own hands; and you surely saw the footage of Shani Louk, whose body Hamas fighters paraded through Gaza in the back of a truck while crowds spat and celebrated. Survivors of the Nova festival have also described militants laughing as they hunted festivalgoers hiding in the fields. These were not acts carried out in secrecy. They were recorded, boasted about and, in some cases, carried out with visible pleasure. These were not only acts of murder. They were staged performances of cruelty. This was not violence used as a means to an end. It was violence relished for its own sake. That is the socially sanctioned mass sadism my patients are still haunted by, superimposed on everything they see. Once that sadism becomes undeniable, the narrative has a problem. Mass murder can still be reframed as resistance. Rape cannot. It exposes the cruelty too clearly, so it has to be denied. That denial carries consequences not only for the survivors I treat but for Palestinians as well. Refusing to confront the mass sadism of Oct. 7 keeps Palestinians trapped under the same violent movement that terrorizes them. Hamas has long brutalized its own population. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented torture, arbitrary detention, and killings of Palestinians accused of dissent or collaboration, and journalists have reported Hamas beating and arresting Gazans who protest its rule. This is what authoritarian movements do. Cruelty outward. Repression inward. As New York City’s first lady, you are in a public position to inspire a movement for Palestinian rights and safety. The survivors I treat are still trying to rebuild their lives after what they witnessed. Palestinians deserve to be free from the same sadistic movement that terrorizes them as well. Public gestures matter. When someone in a position of influence treats atrocity as liberation, the signal travels far beyond a social media post. The evidence is clear. Admit that you were wrong and withdraw your support for the lie. Some of us spend our days helping survivors rebuild the lives that Hamas shattered. The least the rest of the world can do is stop sanitizing mass sadism and tell the truth about what was done to the victims of Hamas’ cruelty. ".

@EconTalker It would be bold, possibly informative, to invite this past guest on to EconTalk. I struggle to understand his motives / rationale. Evidence of 'control' would be enlightening. As would relevance of recency.

Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon. Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a massive spike. Classic example of the Jevons paradox. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer. When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before. --- Chart from citadelsecurities .com/news-and-insights/2026-global-intelligence-crisis/
