 Amidst a controversial statement from one of its former employees , Anthropic is stirring further unease by releasing a report from its economics lab that outlines several future scenarios. According to one of these scenarios, the AI's self-improvement capabilities would cause GDP to skyrocket, but unemployment would surge as well; one in five office workers would lose their jobs. The report states that as AI spreads, annual GDP rises—potentially doubling the size of the economy—but the number of unemployed people multiplies, reaching levels far beyond those typical of a recession. Yes, there are more moderate reports—or at least they appear to be. One predicts AI being used to automate processes without widespread adoption; the economy grows, but wages do not. And yes, you are right: they are discussing the U.S. economy. This information was presented by the Spanish newspaper El Mundo in its edition from September 9, 2026.

 On X—formerly Twitter—an account with just a single post has managed to spark reactions from millions of people, ranging from mockery to serious analysis. Jacob Coxon, apparently a former Anthropic engineer, claimed that none of the companies behind AI are acting responsibly. He further asserted that they are racing at full speed toward self-improving artificial superintelligence, effectively gambling with our lives. In a thread following that post, he stated: "Do not underestimate the power of this technology. Soon, these will be superhuman systems capable of hacking anything, revolutionizing any field overnight, and acquiring real power and resources. We have all witnessed the advances in each of these areas, and that progress is not slowing down." Naturally, many people have started looking up his name to see if he is truly connected to the AI ​​industry. Shortly thereafter, a verified account linked to Anthropic confirmed Coxon's statements, though with some nuances....

 It was arguably to be expected: following economic stagnation and unpopular measures, Merz's popularity has declined. Neither the public nor the business community sees results from the government's policies. Changes to the pension system have further eroded confidence in the CDU leader. The result is that the AfD party is capitalizing on this discontent to gain votes. Indeed, Friedrich Merz himself has expressed shock at what he calls the "most serious electoral defeat his party has suffered in years." The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)—which opposes immigration and advocates for closer ties with Russia—secured a major victory in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections, capturing 43.8% of the vote. The ruling party’s share plummeted to just 17.2%. The AfD secured 39 of the 83 seats, falling just three short of an absolute majority. Yet, despite the *Brandmauer*—a pact among traditional parties to refuse coalitions with the far right—there remains a possibility...

 An Amazon cargo Boeing 767 crashed while landing at Miami Airport on Sunday afternoon. The incident resulted in at least five fatalities, according to official sources. How did the accident happen? Amazon Prime Air flight 7698, operated by 21 Air, departed from Puerto Rico and touched down in Miami around 2:00 p.m. local time. It landed on the airport's diagonal runway but came to a stop to the northwest, having gone beyond the airport's perimeter. As it exited the airport grounds, the aircraft—which was over 30 years old—struck several vehicles, including a truck. Within minutes, a plume of smoke was visible from various parts of Miami. Five people have been confirmed dead as a result of the crash. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident. Amazon offered its condolences to the victims, stated that the aircraft was operated by 21 Air, and indicated that it would cooperate with the authorities to clarify the incident.

 Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Moscow with White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are seeking to revive peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. The meeting took place at the Grand Kremlin Palace and lasted approximately three hours. While few details regarding any potential agreements have emerged, Putin acknowledged the complexity of the situation—though not before briefly welcoming Trump's envoys with the words: "Welcome, nice to meet you." President Trump's envoys presented a peace proposal championed by the U.S. president, aimed at bringing the war to an end. Prior to this meeting, both Putin and Zelenskyy had ordered their troops to observe a three-day ceasefire. Witkoff and Kushner are scheduled to travel to Ukraine to meet with President Zelenskyy and continue the talks. It is likely that President Trump himself will announce whether or not an agreement has been reached in the coming days.

 Speaking about trade policy, U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that Mexico has nothing to offer the United States beyond tamales and tomatoes. Trump: "We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries... We lose with Mexico $195 billion a year. They have nothing that we have to have, I mean. Hot tamales, tomatoes, a couple of things." Users on the social media platform X pointed out in "Community Notes" that the United States imported $534 billion worth of auto parts, machinery, and agricultural products—not just tomatoes. He also stated that he would not disrupt trade with Mexico for the time being and that he has a good relationship with President Sheinbaum.

 Iran and the United States exchanged fire following more than a month of calm. Iran fired missiles at U.S. targets in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates in retaliation for an attack on an Iranian rocket launcher; the U.S. had claimed the launcher was being used in an attempt to deploy mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The impact. Almost immediately, this exchange affected global oil prices. U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the incident, labeled Iran a "failed nation," and threatened to deal a "hard blow" to the Iranian regime. For his part, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated: "We do not seek war... But in the face of aggression, we will never stand idly by, and we are capable of delivering a decisive response." The U.S. Central Command's X account confirmed this very morning an attack on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard for attempting to target commercial shipping in the strait.

 The business news story continuing to dominate the landscape is the one announced yesterday by OpenAI: ChatGPT Ads reached an annualized revenue run rate of $1 billion less than 200 days after launch. ChatGPT is no longer just a subscription-based model; it is now initiating a battle against Google by expanding its commercial context. Purchase intent is shifting from the search results page to the point of conversion. Recently, users in more countries have begun seeing ads in the free version of ChatGPT as well as the "Go" plan. Undoubtedly, the system will continue to be refined to generate greater benefits for the company. How does it work? OpenAI states that to select an ad, it considers signals such as the context and intent of the current conversation, as well as the ad itself, its landing page, and the advertiser's contextual cues. When personalization is enabled, the system can also utilize specific signals from your broader experience with ChatGPT. There is anoth...

 The ecosystem for monetizing written content is among those most affected by the new AI era. Google has effectively stopped sending traffic to millions of websites, prioritizing its own quick answers or AI-generated responses instead. Furthermore, AdSense has shifted to a pay-per-thousand-impressions model. This has impacted creators—particularly those running blogs and evergreen websites—who have seen their earnings shrink, and continue to shrink. Diversify or die. Ad blockers are proliferating, turning banner-based monetization into a volatile system. Today, a mix of ads, affiliate marketing, subscriptions, digital products, and sponsorships is becoming a lifeline for those who are still holding on. The metrics are changing. The economy surrounding bloggers, webmasters, and multimedia creators is no longer measured solely by views. Brands and platforms now value measurable influence, first-party data, and proprietary business ventures (such as online stores, newsletters, or cour...
