🚨 CHINA IS FACING A GENERATIONAL CRISIS, AND THE NUMBERS ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. China's economy is struggling so badly that millions of young people are finding it almost impossible to build a stable future. According to The Wall Street Journal, a generation that grew up believing hard work guaranteed success is now facing unemployment, layoffs, falling wages and growing financial pressure. And the numbers are shocking. • Youth unemployment among 16–24 year olds has reached nearly 19%, almost double the U.S. rate of 9%. • Unemployment among 25–29 year olds stands at 7.5%, compared with China's overall rate of around 5%. • A record 12.7 MILLION students graduated from Chinese colleges this year, entering an already struggling job market. • China's urban employment is estimated to be 37 MILLION JOBS BELOW where it would have been if pre-pandemic job growth had continued. • One Chinese economist estimates that the country's broader unemployment rate could actually be around 10%, nearly double the official figure. But unemployment is only part of the problem. China's property market collapse has destroyed jobs in construction, real estate and related industries. Major technology companies, including Alibaba and ByteDance, have reportedly been cutting staff. And now AI is making the situation even worse. According to the WSJ, some of China's biggest employers privately estimated that AI could eliminate 30% OR MORE of their existing jobs. A study covering 700 MILLION job postings found that AI has hit hiring demand particularly hard for workers with just 1–3 years of experience. Even entry level jobs that once helped graduates start their careers are disappearing. Meanwhile, the number of Chinese workers in temporary and gig jobs is expected to jump from 280 MILLION in 2025 to 320 MILLION in 2026. That would represent more than 40% of urban employment. And the impact is already spreading beyond the job market. Young people are delaying marriage, avoiding having children and moving back in with their parents because they cannot afford to live independently. Some are even giving up on traditional careers altogether. China spent decades building an economy where each generation expected to become wealthier than the last. Now millions of young people are questioning whether years of education and hard work are even worth it. This is a serious problem for the world's second largest economy. Weak employment means weaker consumer spending, fewer families being formed and even more pressure on China's already struggling property market. The biggest danger for China isn't just slowing economic growth. It's an entire generation losing confidence in its economic future. And if millions of young people continue to struggle to find stable jobs, China's economic problems could become much harder to fix.

Vibe your way to 50K. The 2026 Epic AI MegaJam begins Nov 12: epic.gm/epic-ai-megajam-2026

i gotta say that while crypto feels relatively boring outside of the gacha games and perps rn, I've never seen cooler stuff being built in the worlds of hard science / eng AI drug discovery, alchemy, genetically engineered dogs, weather control...what a time to be alive

Intoxicating. I’ve been programming for 45 years, since so was 10. I’ve been a pro game coder for 33 years. Everything from hand coded assembly to UE 5.8. The paradigm shift to agentic coding is intoxicating. It is the biggest productivity jump I have ever experienced.

HOLY SHIT. For crypto, this is one of the most insane posts of the year, but I'm guessing most people don't understand it. Let me explain... Bitcoin's accounts, and subsequently Ethereum's (and therefore every other EVM chain's), are built on a specific elliptic curve called secp256k1. secp256k1 is a different elliptic curve from the one used across nearly every modern hardware device, including iPhones. Modern devices mostly use a different curve called secp256r1, which is usually referred to as P-256 - one of the curves investigated in the article. This mismatch has made it sooo difficult in the past to integrate crypto accounts natively into the security systems of modern hardware. For example, Apple's Secure Enclave natively supports P-256, not secp256k1. This has prevented crypto accounts from being able to use the same hardware protection as things like Apple Pay. Same goes for the web with passkeys - WebAuthn uses P-256 signatures, which means Ethereum accounts using secp256k1 can't use them natively either. But why did Satoshi do this? The main theory for choosing secp256k1 was distrust of the P-256 curve - i.e. he thought there was an NSA backdoor. A "backdoor" here basically means a secret, intentional weakness in the curve that would allow the NSA to exploit it and access private keys. This was because P-256 was created with involvement from the NSA... And the NSA provided a mysterious "seed" used to generate one of the curve's parameters without explaining where that seed came from. This eventually transformed into a ~25-year-old mystery with a 5-figure reward for finding where this seed came from. Claude figured it out in less than 30 mins. And the best part is its internal thinking was: "Hmm wait... is it suspicious that such an obvious thing wasn’t discovered in 25 years?" The solution was stupidly simple - just the time the curve was created, put into a specific random number generator function. This doesn't 100% prove there's no backdoor yet, but it provides strong evidence that this seed wasn't secretly engineered by the NSA. And Claude did this with "just a simple prompt" in under 30 minutes.
