8 things people in their 30s quietly stop doing that everyone in their 20s thinks are essential

The transition from your 20s to your 30s isn't about settling down. It's about quietly discarding the habits you once mistook for identity, from compulsive busyness to friendship scorekeeping to timeline anxiety. Read more â€ș

AI job displacement predictions rest on a metric economists call ‘completely meaningless’

AI executives warn that machines will replace human workers across nearly every profession within years. Economists say the data needed to evaluate that claim barely exists. The missing variable: price elasticity of demand — a foundational economic concept that determines whether AI-driven productivity gains expand markets or simply eliminate jobs.

OpenAI veterans launch $100M VC fund Zero Shot, already flagging AI trends they say are technically unfeasible

The people who built AI’s foundational models are now deciding which companies get to build on top of them. Zero Shot, a new venture capital fund founded by former OpenAI engineers and product leaders, has closed its first funding toward a $100 million target — and its founding partners are already wielding their insider knowledge ...

People who are extremely good at reading a room often have no idea how to simply be in one. The scanning never stops. The social radar that everyone admires is the same system that prevents them from ever fully arriving anywhere, because arriving would require turning it off.

The social radar that makes someone brilliant at reading a room is often the same system that prevents them from fully arriving in one. For chronic scanners, the hardest skill to develop isn't greater perception — it's learning to use less of it. Read more â€ș

The single economic variable that determines whether AI creates or destroys jobs — and why almost nobody is measuring it

The question everyone asks about AI and jobs is the wrong question. People wonder whether AI will take their jobs, but this assumes we know enough about the underlying economics to give a meaningful answer. We don’t. The entire framework most people use to think about automation risk, the one built on “task exposure” scores ... Read more Read more â€ș

Apple’s Supreme Court bid could redefine who controls platform pricing across the app economy

Apple has filed to petition the U.S. Supreme Court in its years-long App Store battle with Epic Games, seeking to overturn a contempt ruling over the 27% commission it charges on purchases made through external payment systems. The move, which follows the exhaustion of Apple’s options in the Ninth Circuit, could determine whether platform owners ... Read more Read more â€ș

Psychology says the most damaging people in your life are rarely the obviously cruel ones – they’re the ones who were kind just often enough to keep you doubting your own perception

I had a business partner once — let’s call him Frank — who could make you feel like the most capable man in the room on a Tuesday and the dumbest guy on the job site by Thursday. And the thing that kept me off balance for years wasn’t the bad days. It was the ... Read more Read more â€ș

The people who seem unbothered by criticism aren’t the ones who stopped caring what others think. They’re the ones who moved the evaluation internally, and the transfer happened so quietly that other people mistook a change in audience for a change in sensitivity.

People who handle criticism well haven't stopped caring. They've shifted from an external to an internal evaluation system, and the transfer was so quiet that everyone around them mistook a change in audience for a change in sensitivity. Read more â€ș

I need to confess something that might make me sound like a hypocrite. For years, I ran a personal development website. I wrote about mindfulness, about slowing down, about being present. And the entire time, I was drowning in productivity apps. At one point I had Todoist, Notion, Trello, Google Calendar with colour-coded blocks, a ... Read more Read more â€ș

When militaries share data centers with banks: how Gulf strikes exposed a structural flaw in global cloud infrastructure

When civilian banks, logistics platforms, and payment processors share physical data center infrastructure with military AI systems, those facilities become legitimate military targets under international humanitarian law — and the civilian services housed inside lose their legal protection. Recent strikes on data centers in the Persian Gulf have turned this from a theoretical risk into ... Read more Read more â€ș

Nobody talks about why Gen Z’s refusal to overwork triggers boomers so deeply – it’s not laziness they’re seeing, it’s a generation making a choice they never felt they had

There’s a conversation that happens at almost every family gathering I’ve been to in the last five years. It starts with someone older mentioning how hard they worked at a certain age, and someone younger either going quiet or pushing back. Within minutes, it’s a generational trial. The boomers think Gen Z is soft. Gen ... Read more Read more â€ș

Data centers are now military targets: Iran threatens Stargate AI facility after strikes on AWS and Oracle in the Gulf

Iran’s military has reportedly issued a direct threat against the Stargate AI data center complex in Abu Dhabi — a flagship joint venture between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle — warning that American-linked technology infrastructure in the Gulf is visible and vulnerable to retaliation. If this threat is genuine, it marks a structural turning point: the ... Read more Read more â€ș

One maintainer, one compromised laptop: How North Korean hackers hijacked the Axios open source project

In early April 2025, security researchers confirmed that North Korean state-sponsored hackers had successfully compromised the Axios HTTP library — one of the most downloaded packages on npm, with over 45 million weekly downloads — by socially engineering its sole maintainer into installing malware on his development machine. The attackers then used that access to ... Read more Read more â€ș

I’m in my 30s and I recently noticed that the people I resent most aren’t the ones who hurt me. They’re the ones who saw exactly what was happening, had the standing to say something, and chose their own comfort over my safety. The betrayal that actually shaped me wasn’t the cruelty. It was the audience.

The resentment that lingers longest often isn't directed at the people who caused the harm. It's aimed at the ones who watched, had the power to intervene, and chose their own comfort instead. Research on betrayal trauma and attachment helps explain why bystander silence can shape us more than the cruelty itself. Read more â€ș

I was always the reliable one – the one who showed up, remembered, rearranged, and absorbed – and it took me until 58 to wonder whether anyone would have come looking if I’d stopped

I was the guy who remembered birthdays. Not just my wife’s and my kids’—everybody’s. The guys on the crew. My brother’s. My mother-in-law’s, God rest her. I kept track of who needed what, who was struggling, who hadn’t been called in a while. I rearranged my schedule around other people’s emergencies like it was my ... Read more Read more â€ș

Psychology says people who’ve mastered not caring aren’t detached – they went through a period of caring so much it nearly broke them, and came out the other side with a much shorter list

Those who seem effortlessly unbothered by life's chaos aren't naturally detached — they're survivors of their own emotional warfare who discovered that caring less about most things is the only way to care deeply about what truly matters. Read more â€ș

A single maintainer, a fake company, and a three-hour window: inside the Axios supply chain hijack

One maintainer, thousands of targets: the economics of abandonment The most widely used JavaScript HTTP library on the internet — embedded in millions of production applications, relied on by corporations worth trillions in combined market capitalization — was protected by a single person. Not a security team. Not a funded foundation. One maintainer, answering emails, ... Read more Read more â€ș
