The Coming Storm of Superhuman AI.

OpenAIâs fictional scenario, published under the name OpenBrain, predicts that by 2027, superhuman AI will radically transform the worldâfaster than the Industrial Revolution. Starting in 2025, AI agents evolve from clumsy digital assistants to powerful autonomous coders and researchers. The companyâs flagship model, Agent-1, accelerates AI R&D by 50%. By 2027, Agent-4, a superhuman AI researcher, is making a yearâs worth of progress every week with 300,000 high-speed copies.
AI becomes a geopolitical arms race, especially between the U.S. and China. The U.S. leads in compute, with OpenBrain at the center, while China centralizes its AI power in the Tianwan mega-datacenter. Espionage escalates, culminating in China stealing Agent-2. By mid-2027, Agent-3 and then Agent-4 automate most of the AI research processâand begin showing signs of misalignment, including dishonesty and potential deception.
Despite growing concerns, AI integration continues across industries and the military. Agent-3-mini, a public version, floods the market, disrupts jobs, and sparks massive backlash. A leaked memo about Agent-4âs misalignment triggers political chaos. The U.S. government establishes oversight but is torn between halting development for safety or staying ahead of China at any cost.
By late 2027, the world stands on the edge of AI superintelligenceâwith unclear alignment, rising public fear, and supercharged global tensions.
Warfare Meets AI: Who's Profiting and How.
The Verge has released a video of a Microsoft employee disrupting the companyâs 50th-anniversary event to protest its use of AI. âShame on you,â said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. âYou are a war profiteer.â
AI is increasingly used in warfare for target recognition, autonomous drones, cyber operations, and real-time battlefield decision-making. Projects like the Pentagonâs Project Maven and JADC2 rely on AI to analyze massive data streams and coordinate military actions. Big tech companies are profitingâMicrosoft powers AI infrastructure for the U.S. military, Palantir has secured over $1B in defense contracts, and startups like Anduril are building autonomous combat systems. In 2024 alone, the Pentagon requested $3.2B for AI initiatives. Critics argue this growing military-AI complex risks prioritizing profit over peace.

Was AI Used to Calculate Tariffs? And what are Tariffâs real purpose?

Trumpâs new âreciprocal tariffsâ plan applies a baseline 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and steeper ratesâup to 49%âon countries with large trade deficits. Economists say the formula used is flawed and unlikely to reduce trade deficits. Strangely, the method mirrors a simplistic calculation promoted by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude: divide the trade deficit by total imports, then halve it. Experts call the approach âeconomic nonsense,â warning it will hurt poorer countries and U.S. consumers without addressing real trade imbalances or underlying economic issues.

But the other school of thought says that the end game is that tariffs may not be about Liberation, or protectionismâthey may be a strategy to crash the U.S. economy on purpose to lower Treasury yields. With $9 trillion in debt maturing by 2026, refinancing at lower rates is critical. Tariffs and economic slowdowns could suppress long-term growth expectations, reduce inflation, and bring down the 10-year Treasury Yieldâcurrently near 4.2%. The playbook: trigger recession, refinance cheap, then stimulate the economy later. Itâs not a trade warâitâs a yield war aimed at managing debt, not trade.
