Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

It’s very simple. AI isn’t independent or autonomous. It’s a tool being specifically programmed to commit crimes against humans and against rival businesses. But the fantasy of autonomy is an incredible facade that means total deniability and our political and media classes have already bought in.

If there's a single graph you need to see to understand the AI extinction debate, it's this. To survive, frontier AI giants need to burn $10 trillion (a tenth of world GDP) over nxt 5 years. But they will only earn $3 trillion - a financial blackhole of $7 trillion. Who is going to go extinct?

Anthropic, OpenAI and Google DeepMind will need $10 trillion over next 5 years, but will earn only about $3 trillion.

EXCLUSIVE: AI giants warn their tech could kill us all. Their proposed safety rules could help kill off cheaper competition. Our @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation exposes unproven runaway claims and a looming financial blackhole worth 10% of world GDP 1/20 bylinetimes.com/2026/09/15/b...

You started a company and convinced people to invest Billions of dollars. You’ve burned through all that money with no way of making it back. Now what? Convince everyone your product could destroy the world, i.e. you’re waaay to big to fail. Bailouts. Brought to you by the 2008 financial crisis.

Folks, calling LLMs artificial intelligence is like calling your dog a theoretical physicist because he rolls over when you tell him to. Naming him Einstein and feeding him a trillion dollar kibble isn’t gonna make doggo a world-destroying overlord. They just want you to pay for the kibble.

This is a picture of two women from the Vernon Cadet Training Centre, which holds summer programming for 12-18 year olds to develop skills on the way to adulthood. Unlike Secretary Hegseth, they do not deserve contempt or ridicule.
