Global energy shortages, cycles of hoarding, closing business and declining purchasing power can be traced back to poor monetary policy. For decades now, we spent more than we had and promised more than we could deliver. And now it looks like Friedman was right — you can’t increase the money supply without increasing inflation. Individuals and nations are struggling to break out of this spiraling cycle — and even leveraging the threat of war to avoid it.

The most expensive input to a frontier AI model has become data whose origin labs can prove and attribute. Frontier labs have effectively exhausted the freely scrapeable internet.
