20 september. Anthropic. Hussman. Janerik Larsson, Finland och euron.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a stunning, and perhaps uncontrolled speed. 

Last week, Evan Hubinger, the Alignment Science Lead at the AI company Anthropic estimated a greater than 10% chance that AI could eliminate humanity within a decade, 

adding “I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.”

Can we teach artificial intelligence not simply to pursue objectives, but to look deeply enough to act with compassion, and even wisdom?

A seemingly unlikely but illuminating place to begin is with the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, teacher, and peace activist, known to his students simply as Thầy – perhaps best known for bringing the practice of mindfulness to millions of people around the world.

Hussman Special Commentary (Non-Financial): September 2026

Janerik Larsson, Finland och euron.

Finlands ekonomi har betydande problem. Förklaringen sägs vara att Finland präglas av sitt tsaristiska arv. 

Varför, undrar man då, skulle det behövas både nedskärningar och skattehöjningar? Därom intet i artikeln, som saknar E-ordet. 

Anders Borg lyfter fram euro-landet Finland som ett varningens exempel på varför Sverige bör stå utanför euron. 

Janerik kan inte skylla på okunnighet, kunnig som han är. Lite tragiskt att han sänker sig till en i eurons svenska Ja-kör.

Cognitive blind spots

Bild
Cognitive blind spots are undermining our ability to see the world as it is, rather than as we would like it to be. At the start of the 21st century, western elites generally assumed that globalisation, democracy and the free market were self-evidently good, and would keep spreading, creating peace. N o longer.  FIS, Swiss Federal Intelligence Service, has published a manual about cognitive blind spots. 18 different cognitive biases that hamper our thinking, such as “group think” (adhering to the cosy assumptions of our tribe), “anchoring” (relying exclusively on whatever information we see first, say on social media),  “confirmation bias” (only seeing data that reinforces pre-existing views),  “mirror imaging” (assuming others think like us),  “absence of evidence” bias (failing to think about the data we lack)  and “survivorship bias” (judging data only with success stories, not failures).

Martin Wolf; The next crash - Why this time might not be different

Bild
Stock markets are not only ignoring the obvious threats, but seem imbued with extreme optimism. In the autumn of 1929, Irving Fisher, one of the greatest American economists, stated: “Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.”  This turned out to be one of the most incorrect forecasts ever made: in short order, US and global stock markets were hit by the Great Crash, which was followed by the Great Depression. Maybe markets were in some sense “right” before the crash and wrong after it. But who cared? For investors and the hundreds of millions of people across the world whose lives were upended by the disaster, the gods of the stock market had failed for a generation. Why might this story be relevant today? The answer is that the valuation of US stocks is even higher today than in September 1929.  The first global financial crisis after the disaster of the 1930s in 2007-09: the easy monetary — and relaxed regulatory — policies adopted after the stoc...
