Blue collar workers dead ass could make more than white collar until we have robots
"There’s at least a reasonable chance that 2026 Q1 will be looked back upon as the first quarter of the singularity." Stripe CEO Patrick Collison: "There’s been a phase transition in 2025." "There are many more businesses getting started and the average, the median business is in fact performing better." "Looking at real purchasing behavior on Stripe… end of ’25, beginning of ’26 is when I feel like we’re really starting to see it." @patrickc with @collision on @tbpn

$50B of Indian IT services market value was eroded in the last 30 days. The Citrini article predicts it will collapse even more. Niftya IT index: -15% Wipro: -25% Infosys: -25% TCS: -17% Cognizant: -24% HCL: -17% Accenture: -25% Capgemini: -30% LTI Mindtree: -25% TechMahindra: -18% Mphasis: -20% Palantir claims it can compress complex SAP ERP migrations (ECC to S4) from years to 2 weeks. GCCs (companies owning their own offshore IT departments in India) with Claude Cowork are far more ecomical than multi year IT services contracts. I do think the 18% rupee collapse is exaggerated though. The IT services business model absolutely breaks at the current capability of AI tooling, and its ~10% of Indian GDP.
NVIDIA earnings beats don't hit the same now that we know AI is going to kill DoorDash and take all of our jobs.
Countries with 1B+ people: 1. 🇮🇳 India: 1,476,630,000 2. 🇨🇳 China: 1,412,910,000
The only paths to a soft landing: 1. Government subsidized severance pay if you get laid off by AI 2. Govt subsidized APIs/Mac Mini’s for your business 3. AI increases govt efficiency to reduce debt/taxes All of which require America mogging the international markets first
The Adolescence of Technology: an essay on the risks posed by powerful AI to national security, economies and democracy—and how we can defend against them:

Gold is dumping. Silver is dumping. Bitcoin is dumping. Ethereum is dumping. DXY is dumping. Stocks are dumping. If everything is going down, where is the money actually going?
Probably trickiest spot in last few years to be in cash vs assets Warsh coming in and now the future is unsolved Will he be a hawk and not cut rates? Well that’s what his track record says. But if you listen to his recent speeches he’s a complete AI bull. He says things like “yeah by end of this year everyone will have 40 agents in their pocket” As long as AI keeps pace of growth high, which it should be able to since models are starting to writing the updates themselves. So for those reasons, I think he cuts rates and runs it hot.
that was a brutal bear market

"I can imagine the jobs eliminated. I'm not imaginative enough to think of all the jobs that will be newly created. I see a net decline in jobs." @HowardMarksBook says AI is innovating faster than society can adjust, and even if we could adapt, we'll see a significant period of job market dislocation. "There are people who say, 'I have great news, people aren't going to have to work.' To me that's terrible news. We get a great deal from our work other than a paycheck. How are those elements of life going to be replaced?"
