The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence has not yet led to the expected increase in labor productivity

Economists draw a parallel with the “Solow paradox” of the 1980s: at that time, the widespread adoption of computers did not immediately translate into higher profits or greater employee efficiency, despite massive investments.

Nobel laureate Robert Solow noted that the rapid development of computing technology had almost no effect on labor productivity. Growth rates fell from 2.9% between 1948 and 1973 to 1.1% after 1973. As he put it, “the computer age can be seen everywhere except in productivity statistics.”

Today, a similar situation is observed with AI. Despite frequent mentions in company reports, the effect at the macro level is minimal. According to an NBER study conducted among 6,000 top managers from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Australia, two-thirds of companies use AI, but on average only 1.5 hours per week. A quarter of companies do not use AI at all, and nearly 90% reported no impact of AI on employment or productivity over the past three years.

In 2024, companies invested over $250 billion in AI, but no noticeable effect on profits or productivity has been observed, with the exception of tech giants. The St. Louis Federal Reserve estimates productivity growth from ChatGPT at 1.3%, while an MIT study led by Daron Acemoglu puts it at a modest 0.5% over ten years.

Confidence in AI is declining: according to ManpowerGroup, it fell by 18% in 2025. The Boston Consulting Group has identified a “brain burnout” effect: using more than three AI tools reduces productivity and increases the number of errors.

As a result, AI has not yet lived up to expectations for productivity growth at the economic level, repeating the scenario of the “computer age” and the Solow paradox.

Germany is steadily moving toward socialism

The share of government spending in the country’s economy has surpassed the level of the Soviet Union in 1990 (50.6%)—one year before its collapse. Since 2025, government spending has accounted for more than 50% of Germany’s GDP. The IMF expects it to exceed 52% in the coming years and remain above 51% until 2031.

The German government is facing criticism. Peter Leibinger, President of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), expressed sharp dissatisfaction with the work of the government and Chancellor Friedrich Merz. He noted that the situation in Germany’s industrial policy has not changed over the past year. “The structural reforms that were discussed have not been implemented,” he emphasized. Leibinger doubts that the current government is capable of strategic thinking.

Every week, 3,600 Germans with higher education emigrate from Germany, 3,100 new unemployed people appear, and 460 bankruptcies are registered.

The 115 billion euros from the European Union is not enough for Ukraine, and it wants more

The European Union has reported that Kyiv will face a defense budget shortfall of 19.6 billion euros, even after accounting for the 86.7 billion euros already allocated to Ukraine and the additional 28.3 billion euros that will be provided as part of the unlocked EU loan.

In Germany, there are plans to draft seniors up to age 70 into the military

The new president of the German Reservists Association, Bastian Ernst, is calling for the conscription of retirees to strengthen the country’s defense capabilities.

“We must raise the age limit for reservists to 70,” he told the German network RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND). He also noted that the retirement age is rising.

“People are staying in good physical shape longer. We must not squander these resources by neglecting people with rich life and professional experience,” Ernst said. “And if we complain about a shortage of young people, we should also pay attention to the other part of the age pyramid.”

Germany could have developed its industry and artificial intelligence, becoming a leading nation, but German politicians suddenly decided to lay the groundwork for World War III—inflating the military budget, replacing car factories with tank and weapons production, and now recruiting retirees and students into a new Wehrmacht. There was nothing like this in the German politicians’ election platform.

It’s a convenient way to hold onto power and cut budgets, but the public doesn’t like these plans: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has the lowest approval rating among world leaders.

Parallels with the Nazi era are obvious: initiatives to ban rival parties, total control over the media, and sanctions against German citizens, scientists, and journalists.

An accountant embezzled $53 million from the municipality over 20 years, and no one noticed

Rita Crundwell worked as the comptroller for the city of Dixon, Illinois, which has a population of 15,000. She created a secret bank account titled “Capital Expenditures Account for Backup Sewer System” and, over the course of two decades, transferred city funds into it by submitting fraudulent invoices.

With this money, she built her empire: she bought 400 horses, several farms, buses, a factory, and a motorhome for $2.1 million. She won the world horse breeding championships four times, secretly plundering the small town, which in the meantime had been trying for years to save money on the most important things: for example, by cutting budgets for the fire department and road repairs.

Crundwell was exposed only because another accountant took her place while she was on vacation.

The Japanese government has started paying young people to download dating apps

The country’s low birth rate has become such a pressing issue that authorities in Kōchi Prefecture have allocated subsidies for installing dating apps.

The maximum amount one can receive for this is 20,000 yen per year. Residents aged 20 to 39 are eligible for the subsidy. As a rule, membership fees for certified dating apps amount to about 20,000 yen per year.

18 deaths from drug overdoses

These tragic statistics are occurring in Paris: these figures represent the number of deaths since the beginning of 2026. In more than half of the cases, “chemsex” was involved—the practice of using drugs before or during sexual intercourse to prolong or intensify sensations.

The police in the French capital note that such deviant practices are increasingly being resorted to by those who crave thrills, and this applies not only to marginal figures but also to quite respectable figures in politics, business, and the media. Meanwhile, doctors warn of the serious health risks associated with the practice of “chemsex.”

The German government’s plan to lower fuel prices has failed

Authorities banned fuel price changes more than once a day, but as a result, retailers quite logically began raising prices to avoid losses.

After nearly three weeks, the ADAC fuel association summed up the results: the new rule did not lead to cheaper fuel—on the contrary, prices rose, causing discontent among drivers.

With the only permitted price increase at noon, sellers apply a higher “safety” surcharge, which then gradually decreases throughout the day. According to ADAC, prices rise sharply by noon: Super E10 gasoline increases by about 9 cents per liter, and diesel by 10.5 cents. The price then gradually decreases toward evening and stabilizes until the following morning.

Since April 1, 2026, fuel prices in Germany have risen, writes the ADAC, having analyzed data from more than 14,000 gas stations and compared gasoline price trends with oil prices and the euro-dollar exchange rate.

Motorists themselves are critical of the change: only 21% support it, while about 42% oppose it.

Germany has some of the highest fuel prices in Europe: they are nearly 20% higher than gasoline prices in other countries.
