Massive bombshell. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns that AI will displace human labor on a catastrophic global scale. He confirms tech elites have absolutely no mechanism to share the wealth, leaving the global poor completely abandoned to suffer. He is 100% accurate.

NOW - Anthropic co-founder says there is a "real possibility that AI will displace human labor at a very large scale," and that supporting those people "will be a moral imperative of historic proportions."

Why not call it World Displacement Report?
Over 83 million people are internally displaced, showing that most displacement happens within countries, not across borders. Our World Migration Report looks at what is driving these trends and what sustainable solutions look like. #IMRF2026 Read more: worldmigrationreport.iom.intโ€ฆ

Migration drives growth and development. New data shows those gains are at risk when regular pathways are restricted. Evidence and cooperation deliver better outcomes for everyone. #IMRF2026 worldmigrationreport.iom.intโ€ฆ

Save one life at a time. Across multiple crises, families forced to flee and communities facing violence and disasters need protection and life-saving support. This must be the year we choose solidarity over indifference. #87MillionLives | @UNOCHA

Hello friends and supporters of Ukraine. Today marks four years of the full-scale invasion. Four years ago, the worldview changed for me; it divided the world into those who support Ukraine and those who donโ€™t care. (If you care please read till the end and repost) While Iโ€™m not blaming or shaming those who donโ€™t care, I lost any interest in those people, not because they are bad, but because they are irrelevant to our truly greater cause of saving Ukraine: a proud nation with a plethora of problems but a clear desire to build its own free future and break the shackles of totalitarianism. The path is incredibly thorny and dangerous. From Russian bombs to new American administration pressure to give up our future, to the internal struggle and balance between authoritarian rule and democracy during the war, four years after the invasion it has become the largest war since WWII. Ukraine is still standing against the largest and most resource-rich country in the world. No external pressure, threats, or missiles have broken the Ukrainian will to survive. But Ukrainians aren't endless, and behind the visible heroism of the nation stands real, everyday work. Infantry, drone operators, air defenses, logistics, intelligence, and engineering, they all do everyday routine work to make sure Ukraine stands and remains a beacon of hope and democracy in this plutocratic and corrupt world of self-serving politicians and twisted lies that seek nothing but to undermine our future to score a few political points at home or put an extra penny in their pocket at the expense of the dignity and future of the Ukrainian nation. Over these four years, we did a huge amount of work to help Ukrainian defenders survive, win battles, pioneer new ideas, liberate cities, towns, and villages, or simply increase their chances of survival. With your help, we supplied drones, pickups, heavy trucks, earthmoving machinery, cranes, electric power supplies, batteries, and generators. Your help saved hundreds of lives and helped shape the battlefield to where it is now. Today, we are still in Kharkiv. Our workshop is working to supply, repair, and manufacture equipment and machinery for Ukrainian defenders. Under the bombs and missiles, with our own electric power and heating, our team stays in Kharkiv and continues its mission. But itโ€™s impossible without your support. Today, I am trying to fundraise to keep our shop working. We are trying to raise funds for two excavators and two trucks to haul them around for Ukrainian defenders. Your aid is critical for Ukraine, and I would appreciate it if you could donate to our cause. Anything from a dollar to a thousand is a huge help. Please follow the link below to donate (tax-deductible in the USA): paypal.com/donate?campaign_iโ€ฆ

Research shows that regularly practicing gratitude can lead to measurable changes in the brain. This effect is driven by neuroplasticity, the brainโ€™s ability to reorganize itself based on repeated thoughts and behaviors. When people intentionally focus on appreciation, neural pathways involved in emotional control and coping become stronger. Grateful thinking also stimulates the release of dopamine and serotonin, chemicals linked to pleasure and motivation, while helping reduce cortisol, the hormone associated with stress. Brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus become more active, supporting improved mood regulation and overall mental health. Over time, gratitude does more than provide short-term emotional relief. It gradually shifts the brain away from its natural bias toward threat detection and toward noticing positive experiences instead. Simple habits like writing down what youโ€™re thankful for or expressing appreciation aloud reinforce these patterns, making optimistic thinking more automatic. Studies indicate that this repeated practice builds lasting neural connections, promoting emotional balance, resilience, and well-being. In essence, regularly acknowledging whatโ€™s going well can retrain the brain showing that small daily moments of gratitude can produce meaningful, long-term psychological benefits.

Last day at xAI. xAI's mission is push humanity up the Kardashev tech tree. Grateful to have helped cofound at the start. And enormous thanks to @elonmusk for bringing us together on this incredible journey. So proud of what the xAI team has done and will continue to stay close as a friend of the team. Thank you all for the grind together. The people and camaraderie are the real treasures at this place. We are heading to an age of 100x productivity with the right tools. Recursive self improvement loops likely go live in the next 12mo. Itโ€™s time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture. 2026 is gonna be insane and likely the busiest (and most consequential) year for the future of our species.

Please enjoy this Cheeky Pint / @dwarkesh_sp crossover with @elonmusk. Dwarkesh was most interested in how Elon is going to make space datacenters work. I was most interested in Elon's method for attacking hard technical problems, and why it hasnโ€™t been replicated as much as you might expect. But we got into plenty of topics in this three-hour session. 00:00:23 Space GPUs 00:35:39 Alignment 00:58:48 xAI 01:15:01 Optimus 01:28:03 China 01:40:46 Management 02:16:38 DOGE 02:34:58 Space GPUs redux

Asal Shakeri, 23, from, was killed on January 9 by the Security Forces with a direct gunshot in Tabriz. Asal had already defeated cancer once, by fighting to live. But a far greater cancer, the Islamic Republic, killed her. This is a massacre of young, unarmed Iranians. #Iran๐Ÿ’”

๐Ÿ“ˆ Disaster displacement is rising. In 2024, disasters triggered 45.8 million internal displacements, the highest figure on record. This isnโ€™t inevitable. Data helps governments identify risk, prioritise resources & plan stronger prevention and response.

More than a million people, including some of our own IOM family, have been affected by the devastating floods across #Nigeria. Our teams are working closely on the ground with the Government of Nigeria and @UN_Nigeria to support emergency relief efforts and save lives.

A deeply sad and premature loss of an outstanding individual
"A naturally gifted broadcaster, he was a reassuringly authoritative presence who never pushed his own personality into the foreground, even though he felt deeply about the fate of the Ukrainian people." You can read @Telegraph's beautiful obituary here: telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2โ€ฆ
