🚨 This is the tweet that should terrify every marketing agency on earth.

An AI just replaced your entire marketing team for $99/month.

A marketing hire costs $60K minimum... An agency charges $10K/month... This does both their jobs for less than your Netflix subscription.

JPMorgan told Meta to fire 20% of employees this morning... They were being generous. This thing makes it 80%.

The funniest part is marketing Twitter will quote tweet this saying "AI can't replace real marketers" while using AI to write the tweet saying that.

You're not competing with other marketers anymore. You're competing with a $99 bot that never sleeps, never takes PTO, and posts on Reddit at 3am because that's when the algorithm peaks.

The job isn't gone yet. But the price just dropped to $99. And nobody's salary survives that math.

Introducing My Computer, the core feature of the new Manus Desktop app. It’s your AI agent, now on your local machine.

🚨 First AI came for your job. Now it's coming for the apps you used to do your job.

Manus just put an AI agent directly on your desktop.. Not in the cloud.. On your machine.

> It organizes your files, builds apps, automates your workflows - all locally.

Every SaaS tool charging you $15/seat/month just became a middleman.

Notion. Asana. Monday. Trello. All of them built billion-dollar companies on one bet: that you'd always need their software.

That bet just died..

An AI agent sitting on your laptop doesn't need Notion to manage your project. It doesn't need Trello to track your tasks. It IS the software now.

The $300B SaaS industry was killed by the desktop it ran on.

AEye $LIDR beats Q4 expectations with an 89% EPS surprise and joins the Nvidia $NVDA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab.

Neuralink is not just going to repair sight - it's going to exceed the limits of human biology, eventually delivering high-res vision that outperforms the best natural eyes

"In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision, where even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex."

"Long term, you would have very high resolution and be able to see multispectral wavelengths... you could see in infrared, ultraviolet, radar. It's like a superpower situation."

The Bypass Strategy

Ali Larijani held Iran's security council together after Khamenei. Israel says he's dead as of last night.

Basij force commander gone in the same window. Iran produced a handwritten funeral note.

Not a video. Not a press conference. A note.

Treasury Secretary Bessent went on camera and said it out loud.

"Iran was the head of the snake for global terrorism everywhere. Whether through proxies or IRGC members in Venezuela, Hezbollah in Colombia, interacting with Cuba. This is a generational opportunity to end this."

Generational opportunity?

That's not a politician being careful. That's a man who pre-positioned Russian oil through the Alaska channel back in August and built a sanctions relief window through April 11 before a single bomb dropped.

Part 2 documented $17.7 billion in fines Western banks paid for processing Iranian money.

BNP. HSBC. Standard Chartered.
Guilty pleas.

The same correspondent banking layer that ran through the City of London for decades.

Bessent isn't ending a war. He's collapsing a $10 trillion extraction architecture that kept oil artificially priced through manufactured Iranian risk for 25 years.

Kharg Island. Ninety military targets destroyed. Oil infrastructure deliberately spared.
That sir, is doctrine.

You don't spare the oil if you want chaos.

You spare it because you need it flowing through different pipes.

Those pipes are being built right now.

Iraq's Oil Minister announced yesterday the Kirkuk-Turkey pipeline goes operational within one week.

Final testing on the last 100 kilometers.
250,000 barrels per day to Ceyhan on the Mediterranean. Completely bypassing Hormuz.

When Kurdistan tried to block it for HCL concessions Baghdad responded today with a legal threat under Articles 110, 111 and 112.

Part 1 covered the 17-year HCL blockade Maliki ran using Iranian oil smuggling money.
He's gone.

Now Kurdistan seems to be finding out they don't hold the leverage they thought they did.

Saudi converted the East-West pipeline to full crude on March 11.
Seven million barrels per day.
A thousand kilometers of desert between the oil and the strait.

Iraq's southern exports dropped 70% since the war started. 4.3 million bpd down to 1.3 million.

And instead of waiting for a ceasefire they're routing around the problem in real time.

Part 3 made one argument that keeps proving itself.

Resets don't happen after stability arrives.

The infrastructure gets built while the old system burns.

That's what's happening right now across the entire region.

Silver is telling the same story from a different angle.

Another 2 million ounces pulled from COMEX vaults yesterday. Asahi. BRINKS. All draining.

Citigroup is reportedly the last bullion bank standing short and they issued 802 delivery notices on Friday.

Metals trading halted again. The paper price and the physical market haven't agreed in months.
They always reconcile.

Ask the Hunt Brothers what happens when the longs refuse to sell and the vaults run dry...

Iraq's pipeline goes live roughly the same week.

The Coordination Framework froze government formation until the war ends but Kermit keeps going on television saying nothing is changing while every pipe, every vault, every compliance system underneath him moves in the opposite direction.

IMO this is the part most people miss.

The bypass isn't logistics. It's the removal of every excuse.

When Iraq can export without Hormuz, govern without the CF's veto, and settle without the old correspondent banking layer... the only thing left is the rate.

Still tracking the window after the 20th.

IRAQ ➕ IQD ➕ VND ➕ VES ➕ XRP ➕ GOLD ➕ SILVER ➕ RARE EARTH MINERALS 🟰 RV

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours?

> OpenAI gave AI agents the power to spawn OTHER AI agents.. The AI now hires its own employees.

The drone war in the Middle East isn’t just about Iran’s Shaheds. The U.S. is flying a massive MQ-9 Reaper campaign over Iran, striking hundreds of targets and hunting missile launchers.

But dominance comes at a price.

• ~12 MQ-9 Reapers reportedly lost
• ~$16M per aircraft
• Designed for counter-terror wars, now flying in contested airspace

Reapers can loiter for 20 hours, deliver precision strikes, and provide real-time ISR. But they are slow, non-stealthy, and increasingly vulnerable to modern air defenses.

The lesson for defense investors is clear:

Future warfare will favor attritable, autonomous, and swarm-capable systems rather than expensive, slow legacy drones.

Watch the ecosystem evolving around this shift.
