ANTHROPIC BRAIN DRAIN
$725 billion.
That's the combined 2026 AI spend at Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta. Up 77% from last year. Roughly 2.2% of US GDP.
Workers being laid off to help fund it are getting letters that cite AI as the reason.
The scientists who actually build the AI keep quitting.
Nobel Prize winner John Jumper walked out of Google DeepMind on June 19 to join Anthropic. OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy did the same in May.
Alphabet lost $250 billion in market cap the week Jumper left. SignalFire's 2025 talent report found DeepMind engineers are 11 times more likely to leave for Anthropic than the reverse.
The four companies spending the most on AI cannot keep the people who make that spending worth something.

Nigeria alone is having more babies every year than the entire continent of Europe.
230 million people vs 745 million.
Fertility rate 4.3 vs 1.4.
The future will belong to those still willing to have children. And robots, probably.

Someone did a meta-analysis on "do opposites attract?"
They looked at millions of couples across 199 studies. Partners are more similar than not on almost everything. Politics (r ≈ .58) and religion were the most, then education/drinking, even age of losing one's virginity.
On no trait did they find compelling evidence that opposites attract.
