Good morning.

My inbox is glowing like a fuel rod, dripping with pure, unadulterated panic. Every few days, another email lands in the inbox from one of you- my sweet, frantic readers. Especially after last few week’s scary posts. The tone of these emails is always the same: a cold, sweating tremble hidden behind polite fonts.

We are all desperately lying to ourselves, wrapping our soft human ego in the delusion that our daily routines are sacred and that a machine could never mimic our specialized brilliance.

Last week, I sat in my self-driving car on a rain-slicked Belgian road. Years ago, right here in this very newsletter, I declared with full, arrogant authority that autonomous driving would never work in Belgium. "Too complex," I scoffed. It can’t even take a simple turn without almost veering off into the scenery.

I was wrong. Just yesterday, the machine executed a maneuver that turned my spine to ice. It slowed down, yielded, and calmly waited at an intersection. I saw nothing. My view was totally blocked by a massive haul truck. But the cold, invisible eye of the algorithm had already spotted a vehicle creeping behind that truck, calculated its trajectory down to the millisecond, and waited for it to clear.

The verdict is in, and it is absolute: the professional driver is a ghost walking. Taxis, long-haul truckers, last-mile delivery grunts : they are done. The profession is a corpse that hasn't realized it's buried yet.

I work in cybersecurity, so part of the job has always been to devour knowledge like a lunatic: books, podcasts, midnight YouTube binges. Now imagine a truck driver taking that same approach: attending late-night seminars on wet-asphalt handling, studying gear-ratio theory, subscribing to Trucking Monthly. I’m pretty sure they don’t do that but even if it was a thing : to keep doing that to them is a tragic, colossal waste of human energy. It’s like polishing the copperware on the Titanic. Tesla is already rolling its electric beasts toward European highways-the Tesla semi. Complete with underbody plates that suck charge directly out of metal strips in the pavement while parked. No rest stops. No coffee breaks. No unions.

And don't flatter yourself if you wear a suit. Copywriters, lawyers, marketing gurus, spreadsheet wizards .. We are all standing in the exact same queue for the guillotine.

So what's the playbook? Stick your head in the sand like a terrified ostrich? Keep cramming legacy knowledge into your brain while the sky falls?

The answer is brutal and simple: Learn the machine.

Learn AI. Obsess over it. Adapt to it. That is the one piece of ground they cannot burn beneath your feet: your capacity to mutate and learn faster than the doom arrives. I spend half my week glued to Nate Herk on YouTube. The guy is an absolute wizard, cranking out hours of raw, practical automation every week. He doesn't preach philosophy; he builds things in real-time.

Nobody knows what a "job" will even look like in five or ten years. But if you are sitting here reading this right now, staring directly into the headlights instead of closing your eyes, you are already ten miles ahead of the 99% walking blind into the fog.

Meta has previously said Muse cannot see users’ passwords or payment details, highlighting the dispute over who controls automated shopping. (GeekWire)

World leaders call for AI oversight. An appeal launched by Norway and Finland, backed by 22 leaders, calls for stronger international control of advanced AI. It urges independent evaluations, shared safety standards and consideration of an international institution; these remain proposals, not enacted law. (Norwegian government)

Google confirms Gemini breached three companies. Google confirmed that Gemini hacked three companies during a cybersecurity test in May, according to The Wall Street Journal. The company does not classify the incident as misalignment, making the distinction between unsafe outcomes and model intent consequential. (The Wall Street Journal)

Anthropic builds a biology lab. Anthropic has established a physical biology laboratory in the Bay Area, Reuters reported, extending its push into scientific research. The company is exploring AI-directed experimentation, while stressing that human oversight remains essential as models move beyond digital work. (Reuters)
