The data on neurodivergent workers is so lopsided it looks like a typo.
JPMorgan Chase ran an Autism at Work program and found participants were 90% to 140% more productive than neurotypical employees. With fewer errors. UiPath partnered with AutonomyWorks on AI data labeling and reported neurodivergent associates were 150% more productive than non-neurodiverse talent. Hewlett-Packard integrated neurodivergent professionals into software testing teams and measured a 30% productivity gain. EY reported neurodiverse teams were 1.2 to 1.4x more productive and more accurate than comparable groups. At SAP, a single neurodivergent employeeâs solution saved the company $40 million.
Now zoom out. 15 to 20% of the global population is neurodivergent. One in five adults. Yet only 22% of autistic adults in the UK are employed. And 73% of neurodivergent people donât disclose during hiring because theyâre afraid of being discriminated against.
That means the most productive talent pool in the workforce is also the most underemployed and the most hidden.
Karp sees this and is building a pipeline to capture it. Palantirâs Neurodivergent Fellowship pays $110,000 to $200,000 a year. The job posting says outright that neurodivergent individuals will âdisproportionately shape the future of America and the West.â A Gartner study projects that one in five Fortune 500 sales organizations will actively recruit neurodivergent talent by 2027. Palantir is two years ahead of that curve.
The roster of neurodivergent founders reads like a hall of fame. Branson built Virgin with ADHD and dyslexia. Kamprad founded IKEA and invented the naming system because he couldnât remember product codes. Musk disclosed Aspergerâs on live television. Steve Jobs was dyslexic and dropped out. 40% of self-made millionaires in the UK are dyslexic. People with ADHD are estimated to be up to 500% more likely to become entrepreneurs.
Karp himself is dyslexic. He built a $370 billion company. And heâs saying the system that filtered him out, the standardized tests, the credential pipelines, the interview formats designed for neurotypical candidates, is about to become even more obsolete as AI eats every routine cognitive task those systems were built to evaluate.
The bet is simple: AI commoditizes average. The people who see patterns no one else sees, who obsess for 14 hours on a problem everyone else quit after 2, who build IKEAâs naming system because the ânormalâ approach didnât work for their brain, those are the ones who canât be replaced by a model.
Karp is recruiting them while everyone else is still writing job descriptions that screen them out.

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-wordsâ"dandelion," "fern," "starling"âas irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: themarginalian.org/2019/06/1âŚ

The BBC is the single biggest investor in UK creative talent. Its brand is recognised across the world. It creates drama, comedy, unscripted and light entertainment programmes that are the envy of the world. We dismantle it at our peril.

We went from âwhat good are the humanities?â to âsuddenly, no one can readâ in about a year, and it's no coincidence that we're suddenly awash in misinformation and lack of critical thinking. This is WHY we need the humanities. This is what they prevent.

The part of Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how human music has been replaced by soulless, machine-generated pop songs. The AI attempt to take over the film and music industries is an attack on the human spirit. Boycott AI actors. Boycott AI bands. Support human artists.
ALT âThere was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator.â

Itâs not quite a penal colony here, but a halfway house. Once again, when I write a statement or a song, a demon on my left shoulder is whispering: âHow much is too much? Will this get you jailed or not quite yet??â. The answer is - idfk. When the law is being used not to protect freedoms, put to punish - selectively and voluntarily - those who speak out, no lawyer can tell you whatâs safe, and whatâs not. As my Russian lawyer used to say, âNadya, stop asking me whatâs safe - if you want to be safe, leave Russiaâ.Â
I refused to leave for years - until it became clear that if I stayed, Iâd spend the rest of my life behind bars.
Putin promised his people safety and stability in exchange for their freedoms and many bought into his message of âmaking Russia great again.â Today, heâs waging the bloodiest war in modern Europe. Russia has become an international pariah, and its best - those honest enough to refuse self-censorship - are either imprisoned or assassinated, like my comrades Navalny and Nemtsov.
The promised land an authoritarian leader dangles in front of you like a carrot will never arrive. Unless, of course, youâre one of their besties.

Kurt Vonnegut said, âOnly well-informed, warmhearted people can teach others things theyâll always remember and love. A computer teaches a child what a computer can become. An educated human teaches a child what a child can becomeâ and THAT is why AI will never replace teachers.

This takes my breath away with its truth.
ALT "There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casketâsafe, dark, motionless, airlessâit will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell." âC. S. Lewis

Thank you to the police and emergency services for their swift response to the truly shocking and horrendous scenes in Liverpool this evening.

[THREAD] This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's not forget how many of our rights were only won in recent decades, and werenât given by asking nicely and waiting.
We need to fight for our rights.
Here's are a few examples:

In a groundbreaking discovery that challenges our fundamental understanding of physics, scientists at Columbia University have revealed that sound waves possess actual mass. This fascinating finding demonstrates that sound, traditionally thought of as merely a form of energy, carries a tiny but measurable gravitational mass through quantum particles called phonons.
To put this into perspective, a 1-watt sound wave traveling through water for just one second carries approximately 0.1 milligrams of massâa minute amount, but one that opens up entirely new avenues of scientific inquiry. The implications of this discovery are profound: sound waves not only respond to gravitational forces but also generate their own minuscule gravitational fields, adding an unexpected layer to our understanding of acoustic physics.
This revelation aligns with the groundbreaking research conducted by the International Space Federation (ISF), where we have been exploring the fundamental relationship between energy, mass, and quantum vacuum fluctuations. The ISF's work on "The Origin of Mass and the Nature of Gravity" provides a complementary theoretical framework, suggesting that mass itself emerges from quantum electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations. Using sophisticated analytical techniques, the ISF researchers have demonstrated how these vacuum field interactions might explain both gravitational forces and quantum phenomena within a unified model.
For those intrigued by these fundamental questions about the nature of reality, the ISF's ongoing research program represents one of the most ambitious attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics with gravityâa challenge that has captivated physicists since Einstein's time.
