Sam Altman sees the future, and he’s terrified. The OpenAI CEO just published a 13-page blueprint warning that capitalism as we know it won’t be enough to handle what’s coming. The plan proposes giving every American a stake in AI-driven economic growth through a nationally managed fund paid in part by AI companies, shifting taxes from payroll to capital gains since robots, not humans, will be doing the bulk of the work, and piloting four-day workweeks at full pay. It even includes containment plans for rogue AI systems that “cannot be easily recalled.” Altman told Axios that AI superintelligence is…

When Kitty got her fourth layoff call, she took it via Bluetooth in her car. She knew the script by then: the sudden 15-minute meeting invite, the HR rep that pops into the call, the platitudes that precede the devastation of being unemployed — again.“My boss says, ‘Hi Kitty,’ and I said, ‘You’re laying me off. Just go.’”Something happens after the second, or third, or even fourth layoff. Shock gets replaced by trauma-informed familiarity. Grief turns into exhaustion, shame calcifies. The way a person understands work changes, imbuing the next job with cynicism that’s hard to shake. A layoff victim’s relationship…

Are You Tripping Over the Small Stuff?Do you find yourself hesitating at the stairs or avoiding the gym because you don’t have the “right” compression leggings? Or perhaps you’re spending a fortune on raspberry ketones and weight-loss shakes while the scales remain stubbornly still?In my 15 years as a PT in Sevenoaks, I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen locals spend hundreds on “boutique” keto plans or specialised shoes before they’ve even taken a 10-minute walk. This is “majoring in the minors.” It’s focusing on the 5% that doesn’t matter, while neglecting the 95% that actually drives results.The Hierarchy of Fat Loss:…

White-collar workers have been at the center of much of the public handwringing over AI. Entry-level jobs in finance and software engineering seem to be on the chopping block. More college graduates are struggling to find work in a challenging job market, and unemployment ticked up to 5.6% by the end of 2025. Tech companies and other major employers have repeatedly cited AI adoption to justify layoffs. There are, of course, plenty of factors driving these changes beyond AI, including a hiring slowdown. But there’s no denying AI will reshape the labor market over time—and not just for college-educated workers. A…

The upper middle class is moving on up. About 31% of Americans were part of this income bracket in 2024, up from just 10% in 1979. What makes someone upper middle class? Families of three earning between $133,000 and $400,000 a year. These tend to be white-collar workers with college degrees — accountants, engineers, corporate managers — not flashy tech founders. Many upper-middle-classers don’t even realize they’ve climbed into this tier. Randy Shilling, a 58-year-old chemical plant worker in Texas, saved more than $3 million for retirement. “I view myself as an average Joe,” he told The Wall Street Journal.…

Published April 7, 2026 01:24PMOne afternoon in August 2024, high in California’s White Mountains, Tatum Simonson, an associate professor and physiologist with expertise in altitude adaptation at the University of California, San Diego, and her volunteers shuffled into Barcroft Station. The off-grid research outpost sits at 12,470 feet amid jagged peaks and stark scree slopes along the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada. Within hours of arrival, some participants felt the physical impacts of reaching the high-elevation lab. Pounding headaches, the nausea creeping up, the restless sleep—all of which are telltale signs of altitude sickness (a condition that occurs when…

Apple’s App Store is under siege, and the culprit is vibe coding — AI tools that let anyone build apps by describing what they want in plain language. New app submissions surged 84% in a single quarter, the largest jump in a decade, according to The Information. Approval times have ballooned from 24 hours to as many as 30 days as Apple’s review infrastructure buckles under the pressure. The tools driving the flood are startups worth billions. Cursor, valued at $29.3 billion, surpassed $2 billion in annualized revenue. Lovable raised $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation after growing revenue…
