❗️We just saw the first major layoff directly because of AI.

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey laid off 4,000 people, 40% of the company’s headcount to go all in on AI and agentic workflows.

After the announcement, Block stock $XYZ surged 23% in 60 minutes, adding nearly $6 billion to its market cap.

Jack said what every CEO knows but won’t admit: “AI paired with smaller teams is enabling a new way of working. And that’s accelerating rapidly.”

The new math after AI is brutal: 100 people + AI = 1,000 people

🗣Peter Thiel just told Silicon Valley it’s automating away its own cognitive moat.

Nobody there is paying attention.

Thiel: “It is striking to me how bad Silicon Valley is at talking about these sorts of things.”

The industry is either arguing over 20% improvements in the next transformer model or jumping straight to simulation theory. They’re missing the massive real-world shift happening right in the middle.

Thiel: “My intuition would be it’s going to be quite the opposite, where it seems much worse for the math people than the word people.”

For decades, Silicon Valley worshipped quantitative intelligence. Math and coding were the ultimate safety nets.

Thiel: “Within three to five years, the AI models will be able to solve all the US Math Olympiad problems.”

Once a machine instantly solves the hardest math problems on earth, the economic value of being a human calculator doesn’t just decline.
It disappears. And the historical irony is brutal.

In Germany, prototypes of bioelectronic insects for military purposes were unveiled

The company SWARM Biotactics has developed a technology that combines living insects with neural interfaces, AI, and sensors, turning them into autonomous reconnaissance platforms.

The project has progressed from concept to application within a year, with field tests already completed.

The advantage of such systems over drones is their high mobility, low noise levels, and ability to access hard-to-reach places.

❗️Dario Amodei just published one of the most significant statements in AI history and is officially not backing down from The Pentagon.

Anthropic won't build tools for mass surveillance of U.S. citizens or autonomous weapons without human oversight.

The Department of War threatened to boot them from military systems, brand them a "supply chain risk," and force compliance through the Defense Production Act.

Dario: "These threats do not change our position."

Waymo & Uber are cooked

Tesla robotaxi users are reporting autonomous rides in Austin for as low as 1.49$ for a half a mile ride and 5$ for a 30 minute ride.

Humans can’t compete with this.
