The top 1% of US households have gained +$31 trillion in net worth since 2020, now worth $60+ trillion.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50%, or ~67.4 million households, are worth just $4.3 trillion.
The US is facing its biggest wealth divide in history, and it's only going to get worse.

5. So now transplant all of what's happened in AI lately to any other industry. Suppose a pharma company releases a product that millions of people find useful. They do de minimus testing prior to release. Then they say "turns out this product might kill you, but I can't stop making it."
NEW: As diesel prices hit record highs, Georgia GOP gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson admitted in court that the “America First Refining” oil refinery he co-owns with MAGA figures including Donald Trump Jr. is set to send its fuel to India, per AJC.
I recommend people read Time's interview with Trump to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings.

We took my parents to a bookstore to pick out their Christmas gifts last year, & my dad went straight to the Black history section to find his.
Again I will say it: WHAT?
People are capable of learning more & getting better. We don't see it as often as we'd like, but it. is. possible.
It is even possible for people in their 60s who have lived their whole lives in extremist, right-wing religious fundamentalism.
My mom listened to Rush Limbaugh EVERY DAY when I was a kid. That's where she was.

I talked to a librarian at a tiny upstate NY library whose flyer for a drop-in event where she'll help you remove the AI features from your phone has gone viral https://www.businessinsider.com/library-bye-bye-ai-event-north-chatham-viral-2026-9
NEW: Food banks across America are seeing demand surge as families struggle with rising food and fuel costs. Some are reporting a 20% to 60% increase in need from last year.
Scott MacFarlane went inside food banks in multiple states. What workers told him about who is now asking for help is alarming. Read his report:

Anthropic's new biology lab released a technical report on using AI to discover new enzymes. Experts I talked to say "discover" is doing a lot of work here. Story: https://nyti.ms/4xOGWI7

For context: This is part of the fabulous mega thread by @jonny taking apart Meta's new Muse model, after prompting it to send him its entire filesystem (and it happily complying)... The amount of gaslighting done by AI companies and the numbers of unwitting people falling for these hyperbolic claims are increasingly hard to comprehend & digest...

I'm setting out to define what is the worlds greatest acoustic version of a song.
Largely looking at songs that were originally non-acoustic song and then the acoustic version has become the definitive version of that song.
Definitive can be a little bit of a subjective measure. Example. I believe Foo Fighter's own acoustic cover of Everlong is personally definitive but not for the rest of the world based on spotify plays. 1.8 billion compared with just 295 million for the acoustic version.
So: that's why I founded the rereading Project (https://rereading.space/), why I'm working on Arcalibre (https://rereading.space/arcalibre/ and https://codeberg.org/rereading/arcalibre), and why I'm trying to be transparent about what challenges slow me down in that effort.
