A collection of recent articles spanning Claude's new memory features, Argentina's persistent crypto adoption, unverified claims about AI agents at OpenAI, midlife brain inflammation discovery, Apple's AI-focused Mac refresh, and broader discussions about AI commoditization, compute concentration, and the philosophical nature of the AI revolution.

• OpenAI and Anthropic are projected to control most of the world's usable computing capacity by 2028 by outbidding competitors and achieving 50x revenue per megawatt of compute, raising questions about centralized control and potential sovereign debt crises.
• A neuroscience study found that around age 50, inflammatory monocytes from the bloodstream replace original brain microglia cells, triggering memory loss and inflammation—a process unique to humans that happens faster in men than women.
• Argentina's crypto adoption remained at 1 in 5 people even after economic conditions improved and dollar access became easier, with 94% of trading going to stablecoins, suggesting it's embedded as a financial habit rather than a crisis response.
• Most questions about AI's impact aren't technical but philosophical, economic, and psychological—making narrow technical expertise insufficient for understanding how AI will transform institutions and society.
