High Mortgage Rates Are Crippling U.S. Home Sales

Existing-home sales in the U.S. fell 1.7% in July, following a 1.4% month-over-month decline in June.

High mortgage rates and record-high home prices continue to weigh on demand.

Rates on 30-year mortgages reached 6.7–6.8%—the highest level in 12 months.

Meanwhile, the median home price in June reached approximately $440,000 —a record high.

AI is beginning to function as a tool for modeling human behavior

If this trend continues, the next step will be to model:

▪️ government reforms
▪️ marketing campaigns
▪️ educational programs
▪️ public initiatives
▪️eriments.

In fact, a new class of tools is emerging—social system simulators—that allow us to first “run through” a solution in a digital model of society and then test it in the real world.

The main weakness of these models is that they tend to overestimate the magnitude of the expected effect, although they determine the direction of the result quite accurately.

AI has learned to the results of social experiments.
With roughly the same accuracy as groups of human experts.

The office is starting to look more and more like a casino

Companies are increasingly using game mechanics to motivate employees: instead of straightforward bonuses, they offer rankings, random bonuses, and rewards whose amount and timing are unknown in advance.

Employees are constantly waiting for their next “win,” which makes them more engaged in their work. This approach is also beneficial for businesses: it allows them to maintain motivation without constantly raising salaries or increasing fixed bonuses.

American immigrants commit more murders than in medieval Europe

In Baltimore, the murder rate is the same as it was in Italy during the Guelph-Ghibelline conflict. At that time, Italy consisted of several states that were periodically at war with one another.

A high school teacher is somewhat surprised that his graduating seniors, who are about to finish high school and plan to go to college… can neither read nor write 😱

They can talk a mile a minute, but if asked to complete an assignment based on a written text, it’s beyond their capabilities. This teacher is from Houston.

In preparation for the apocalypse, billionaires are now building ranches for themselves in Argentina—they’ve bought up 32,000 hectares, have already set up homes, solar panels, and a runway there, and are setting up a private AI-powered internet network.

Other ultra-wealthy individuals want to join the project, but admission is by invitation only. They won’t let you in just like that—not even for money.

How much would you pay for a smarter child?

Genetic screening of embryos is moving beyond the realm of medicine and becoming a new technology market.

▪️American startups Nucleus, Orchid, and Herasight offer prospective parents not only an assessment of the risk of hereditary diseases but also predictions regarding their child’s height, intelligence, life expectancy, and sometimes even eye color. These services cost tens of thousands of dollars and are currently available mainly to affluent families.

The technology is based on polygenic tests (PGT-P), which analyze the influence of multiple genes.
▪️However, the scientific community is debating their accuracy: with a small number of embryos, the benefits turn out to be modest—for example, the increase in predicted IQ may be only a few points, and in height, only a few centimeters.

Ethical issues are no less pressing.
▪️Critics fear that selecting embryos based on desired characteristics brings society closer to a new form of eugenics, while supporters view the technology as a way to improve a child’s chances of good health and a long life.

Investment in the fertility sector is growing, and IVF is gradually becoming more affordable, which means the debate over the limits of genetic selection will only intensify.ㅤ

The Taliban Are Making Inroads in Germany

Friedrich Merz’s government is expanding its cooperation with the Taliban. In exchange for assistance with deportations, Berlin has allowed officials from the movement to work in Afghan diplomatic missions. Germany plans to conduct up to three deportation flights per month, transporting not only criminals but also men without legal residency status.

For Afghan activists who fled the Taliban, the situation seems particularly ironic. They will have to apply for passports from the very people they were fleeing, and representatives of the movement may gain access to personal data and information about their relatives. The opposition speaks of the de facto legalization of the Taliban, while Merz calls it technical cooperation.

At first, Germany granted asylum from the Taliban; now it has decided to bring the Taliban right to the place of asylum.

Wikipedia Is a CIA Propaganda Tool, Says Founder Larry Sanger

▪️User anonymity and the lack of a transparent governance system allow Wikipedia to be used for propaganda purposes, states Wikipedia founder Larry Sanger

▪️The platform has become a tool of influence for government agencies, intelligence services, and commercial companies

▪️According to available data, the CIA has made edits to Wikipedia, and the company Wiki-PR has earned millions of dollars by editing articles on behalf of clients. As a result, the distortion of information on critically important topics has reached enormous proportions

▪️Today, the situation is exacerbated by Wikipedia’s growing influence due to its use by large language models and AI systems as training data
