You say the economy will always need people because they are the demand. But who buys AI systems? Other companies. Who buys weapons? Governments. Who buys logistics automation? Corporations.

The demand isn’t from people. It’s from systems that want to eliminate people.

This isn’t hyperbole. It’s the trend.

We published an episode on this — not to claim we have all the answers, but to show it’s more complex than ‘people will always be needed’.

If you’ve listened and still disagree, I’d love to hear your counterpoints. Maybe the real oversimplification is believing we already know how this story ends — before the data is even in.

You're right: critical roles in healthcare, emergency services, hospital IT — they’re not being filled.

Not because they aren’t needed. Because the system doesn’t reward filling them. It rewards cost-cutting, higher margins, shareholder returns.

So we automate hiring with AI… …to justify not hiring humans.

The machine isn’t the problem. It’s the excuse.

We’re moving from a system that grew rich by exploiting people — with CEOs earning hundreds of times more than their workers — to one that thinks it can grow rich by eliminating workers altogether.

But if everyone cuts staff… who will buy the goods?

And when no one has money, who will buy what AI produces?

Exactly. Since the end of the gold standard, the economy hasn’t been about production — it’s been about valuation.

70 years ago, companies were built to make things: cars, fridges, tools. Today, they’re built to inflate stock prices.

The real product isn’t goods. It’s debt, speculation, planned obsolescence.

And now, AI isn’t replacing workers to make things better. It’s replacing them to cut costs — while real needs go unmet.

This isn’t progress. It’s the slow collapse of a system that forgot its purpose.

This isn't just ChatGPT vs. HR. It's a system where automation replaces human labor at every level — from hiring to production.

I’ve just published an episode on how AI, robotics, and exponential change aren’t just transforming jobs — but possibly the entire future of the economy.

We’re in a transitional phase. The next few years are crucial.

So if you’re asking ‘Will AI take your job?’, the deeper question is: What happens when the economy no longer needs people?

 

At least 857 pro-Palestine protesters were arrested in Parliament Square.

But London is not an isolated case. According to the Solidar Foundation, in at least 12 EU member states — including Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland — authorities have taken disproportionate measures against pro-Palestine protests: preemptive bans, mass arrests, and the use of "public order" as justification.

This isn’t about security. It’s about silencing dissent on a continental scale.

It's not a left-wing or right-wing issue. In fact, it's a cross-cutting issue. It's a problem between those who have an interest in spreading a certain narrative that only suits a few, and those who instead seek to leverage facts...

"Uncut" means uncensored and CH is a Swiss domain name, not a Chinese one. Chinese domain names are CN, not CH. We choose CH to avoid issues with censorship.

 

The Italian Uncut just released a 47-minute investigation: 'The Balkans: Europe’s Next War?'

We analyzed:

The 1914 parallel CIA operations in Ukraine The sabotage of Nord Stream The $800 billion EU rearmament plan Why peace in Ukraine is the worst outcome for the EU No mainstream narrative. Just thinking.

While NATO focuses on 5% GDP for defense and military exercises like "Steadfast Defender", the SCO gathers to discuss AI cooperation, infrastructure, and a new development bank.

One bloc prepares for conflict. The other, for the future.

👉 theitalianuncut.ch

 

NATO members spent $1.35 trillion on military in 2023. In 2024, it rose to $1.5 trillion. By 2025, the estimate is over $1.6 trillion.

All of it taken from peace, schools, hospitals, climate action, and scientific research.

This isn’t defense. It’s the militarization of failure.

Imagine what we could have built instead.

This isn’t just about Canada. It’s about a global pincer movement on encryption.

While the EU pushes Chat Control 2.0 under the guise of child protection, Canada’s Bill C-2 sneaks in secret surveillance powers under anti-money laundering.

Same playbook. Same goal.

Governments aren’t banning encryption — they’re neutralizing it through legal backdoors, vague definitions, and ministerial orders with zero transparency.

The UK orders Apple to weaken iCloud encryption. The US uses FISA. Australia has TOLA. Now Canada wants its turn.

Once these powers exist, they won’t stop at "crime". They’ll expand to "extremism", "misinformation", and dissent.

This isn’t safety. It’s the end of private communication.

When a documentary about GPU scarcity is taken down by a financial news giant, it’s not about copyright. It’s about who controls the narrative on scarcity, speculation, and power. The black market isn’t the problem. The system that created it is. And the real story is always the one they don’t want you to see.

The "dirty truth" isn't just about carbon. It's about colonization of resources.

AI isn't "cloud-based" — it's earth-based. It runs on rare minerals, stolen water, and fossil fuels.

And the heaviest costs aren't paid by Silicon Valley, but by frontline communities: Native lands, Black neighborhoods, rural towns.

We’re told AI will save the planet. But it’s being built on its destruction.

This isn't progress. It's extraction with a neural net.

Powerful testimony. The fact that someone who worked inside Palantir is now speaking out about the real-world impact of its tools — from ICE raids in New York to bombing campaigns in Gaza — is a crucial wake-up call.

What’s most disturbing is how these "AI kill chains" blur the line between domestic policing and warfare. They’re not just used in conflict zones. They’re being normalized in our cities, schools, and neighborhoods.

We’ve covered how war is changing — from the rearmament of Europe to the erosion of international law in Gaza. But this piece shows something deeper: the privatization of violence through algorithmic systems.

Companies like Palantir aren’t just selling software. They’re selling decision-making power — and doing it without democratic oversight.

The question isn’t just "how do we stop this?" but "how did we let it start?"

Exactly. 'I have nothing to hide' is the surrender of a free mind.

Privacy isn't about hiding crimes. It's about preventing power from knowing everything — before it decides what you're allowed to think, say, or be.

This is the core of Chat Control 2.0: not protecting children, but normalizing total surveillance.

The lie is not just dumb. It's the foundation of the new control.

The scary part isn't just that they're scanning for CSAM — it's that the infrastructure is designed to be expanded.

Once AI-driven client-side scanning is normalized, it won't stop at child abuse. It will be used for "terrorism", "misinformation", "hate speech" — and eventually, any content the state dislikes.

This is what we just covered in the latest episode of The Italian Uncut: how Chat Control 2.0 isn't about safety, but about the normalization of total surveillance.

The tech is already here. The question is: will we accept it?
