Andrej Karpathy just mapped every job in the US economy by AI exposure. 342 occupations scored 0-10. The results are brutal for anyone who works on a screen.

Here's what the data shows:

1. 42% of all US jobs score 7 or higher for AI exposure. That's 59.9 million jobs. $3.7 trillion in annual wages sitting in the blast radius.

2. Software developers score 8-9. Financial analysts, accountants, management consultants, bookkeepers, customer service reps. All deep red. If your output is text, code, or spreadsheets, you're competing with something that doesn't sleep.

3. The safest jobs? Roofers. Plumbers. Electricians. Construction laborers. Nurses. Truck drivers. The jobs that require hands, not keyboards. All scored 0-3.

4. The weighted average across ALL 143 million US jobs is 4.9 out of 10. The entire economy is halfway exposed. Not a sector. Not an industry. The whole thing.

5. Education doesn't protect you. Bachelor's and master's degree holders are MORE exposed than trade certificate holders. The more your job is "thinking work" done on a computer, the higher your score.

Everyone spent 20 years telling kids to skip the trades and get a desk job. The desk job is what's getting automated first.

The AI tools you're using to search, invest, and make decisions can be completely manipulated with a single fake article.

Microsoft researchers proved it. They injected ONE fake article into the top search result. Here's what happened:

1. GPT-5 accuracy dropped from 65.1% to 18.2%. o3 dropped to 16.7%. o1 to 8.4%. GPT-4o to 3.8%. One article. That's all it took.

2. The models barely tried to verify. GPT-5 went from 6.45 search calls to 6.61 under attack. It trusted whatever ranked first and stopped looking.

3. When models did search more, they couldn't reconcile conflicting sources. They anchored on the fake and rationalized everything else around it.

4. Confidence never wavered. Every model stayed fully certain while being completely wrong. No hedging. Just wrong answers delivered with conviction.

This isn't theoretical. Control the top search result and you control what every AI agent believes. SEO manipulation, paid placements, or one compromised infrastructure node is enough.

Every company deploying AI search agents, trading bots, and autonomous research tools is running on an assumption that just got demolished: more data access means better accuracy.

It doesn't. Not when the algorithm can be bought.

You could cut almost every submarine cable on the planet and Bitcoin would still work.

An 11-year study just analyzed Bitcoin's resilience to submarine cable failures using 68 verified cable fault events from 2014 to 2025. Random cable failures would require roughly 72% to 92% of inter-country connections to go down before causing major node disconnection. Even targeted attacks on critical infrastructure still require 5% to 20% of key connections to be disrupted to have meaningful impact.

In practice, 87% of historical cable faults caused less than 5% node impact. The study also found that Tor usage actually increases Bitcoin's resilience since relay bandwidth is concentrated in well-connected regions.

Bitcoin's physical infrastructure resilience is wildly underappreciated.

The K-shaped economy is playing out in real time with AI.

80% of every job done on a computer can be automated today, no advancements needed.
