The singularities are here, plural.So many different curves are going to the moon or the ground at the same time, across tech, culture, commodities, and politics.The solar singularity is just one of them: https://t.co/oyOM9gKoTp ...

NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR BOTSThe fundamental question is whether AI stays on the leash.Namely: will AI prompt itself?Obviously, in some sense it already does. Since Deepseek, consumer interfaces have been showing the internal monologues after you ask an AI to do something.

The next question is who the buyers are.The politicians proposing unrealized capital gains taxes will essentially force Western shareholders to sell their assets to the deepest pockets on the planet.And those aren’t necessarily Western governments anymore, which are (after all) imposing these kinds of taxes partly because they are in the throes of sovereign debt crisis.Instead, with gold mooning, there’s a scenario where non-Western sovereign wealth funds will likely be able to buy up Western assets with ha ...
