The $14 Trillion Warning: AI’s Riches Will Be a “Few and the Rest” Story

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, warns the AI boom risks worsening inequality, with rewards flowing only to a handful of firms and investors. In his annual letter, he noted that AI threatens to repeat—and amplify—a pattern where wealth accrues to those who already own assets.

The warning comes as BlackRock manages $14tn and Fink’s own $30.8m pay package has drawn shareholder scrutiny.

The Book With No Words

When 10,000 authors want to make a point, sometimes the loudest statement is silence.

OpenAI's "Sloppy" Pentagon Deal Sparks Surveillance Fears and User Revolt

OpenAI is facing a user revolt after hastily striking a deal to supply AI to the US Department of War, a move its own CEO admitted looked "opportunistic and sloppy." The contract, signed immediately after the Pentagon dropped previous contractor Anthropic, sparked fears that ChatGPT's technology could be used for domestic mass surveillance. Despite OpenAI's insistence that the deal included strict guardrails, critics drew parallels to the Snowden scandal, triggering a "delete ChatGPT" campaign on social media.

When Burger King's new AI system "Patty" detects that an employee forgot to say "please," a manager will know. When a bathroom needs cleaning, Patty will know that too. In the fast-food industry's latest experiment with artificial intelligence, the question isn't just whether your order is accurate — it's whether the person taking it sounds friendly enough to satisfy an algorithm.

OpenAI to work with Pentagon after Anthropic dropped by Trump over company’s ethics concerns

One Prompt, Four Personalities: Why AI Can’t Agree on Design

We asked ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and DeepSeek the exact same question: “How should we redesign the 'Add to Cart' flow to reduce friction for mobile users?” If they are all "intelligent," why do they speak different languages? The answer lies in their DNA.

Meta Bets Big on AMD in $60bn AI Chip Deal

Citrini Research's viral "scenario" imagines AI agents dismantling the US economy piece by piece, from wiping out white-collar jobs to triggering a mortgage crisis and a 57% stock market crash by 2028.
