What if the world impose max wealth cap rule

Seawater — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 12:48:19 +0800

Let's do it this way, if you have 1 child then your max wealth is $10 millions, if 2 children max wealth is $20 millions and so on. Anything excess government confisticate. Too many billionaires accumulate too much wealth and not enough children to divide the wealth later causing rich get richer problem.

Just so to give billionaire some breathing space, if no children then there is max cap. Because sooner or later government will get all so no issue of rich get richer. So billionaire get to choose to be childless and enjoy all the wealth when they live, or must ensure his immense wealth is divided into many small portions to many children.

Oct 20 (Reuters) - Anthropic reported a net ⁠loss of more than $80 billion in the first half of the year and ⁠signaled it could spend as much as $750 billion in the coming years to ‌secure more computing capacity, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

The loss, up from $13 billion a year earlier, was driven by $72 billion in accounting charges tied to changes in the value of financial instruments Anthropic issued to raise money, the report said, citing a draft prospectus ⁠for its IPO.

China double RAM production

Hurray, the Great RAM Depression is coming in 2029! Prices gonna 14 floor.

https://www.androidheadlines.com/2026/10/ch...n-capacity.html

Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT is ramping up DRAM production to address a global supply squeeze caused by the tech industry’s pivot toward AI hardware. Backed by new factories, major domestic contracts with ByteDance and Tencent, and interest from international consumer brands, the company aims to reach 600,000 wafers per month by 2028.

Memory giants like Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron scramble to build high-bandwidth chips for AI servers. So, everyday electronics are running into a serious memory crunch. Amid this scenario, China’s biggest DRAM manufacturer, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), is seizing on that gap by pouring billions into expanding its factories and signing massive memory supply deals with tech giants. This could lead to the recently suggested RAM oversupply in 2029.

UK people stealing electricity

Habis lah, back to medieval time when energy is expensive that people need to endure darkness at night soon

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10/04...cost-of-living/

More households steal energy to cope with rising cost of living
Householders are stealing energy in increasing numbers to cope with the rising cost of living, official figures show.

The number of gas and electricity thefts confirmed by energy suppliers has risen from 17,422 in 2021-22 to 21,354 in 2025-26, according to an analysis by Stay Safe Energy, which is run by the charity Crimestoppers.

Some of the biggest increases have been among businesses where theft has more than trebled in the five years from 996 cases in 2021/22 to 3,747 in 2025/26.

It comes as the typical household energy bill in the UK has risen by 25 per cent in the past five years from £1,331 in 2021 to £1664 in 2026.

More than six in 10 (61 per cent) of people surveyed for Stay Safe Energy said it was easy to understand why households stole energy when faced with rising bills.

Nearly four in 10 (38 per cent) believed that people were stealing energy because of financial need, rather than cheating, according to the poll of more than 2,000 members of the public.

The data show that electricity and gas are most likely to be stolen in the north of England, where cities including Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford and Doncaster dominate the “top 10” after London.

It is estimated that rising theft could be costing the industry more than £1bn a year, pushing up consumers’ bills as well as putting the public at risk from householders interfering with the electricity supply and meters.

A spokesman for Stay Safe Energy said: “Latest figures from the industry confirm that more than 100,000 confirmed energy theft offences in five years is a stark warning that this is far from a victimless crime.

“Tampered meters can cause fires, explosions and electrocution, while energy theft can be part of serious organised crime.

“It also pushes up costs for other households and businesses, meaning we all ultimately pay the price.

“The sustained rise in offences shows why it’s so important that people understand the dangers, know what to look out for and feel confident reporting their concerns.

“Whether it’s a bypassed meter, unusual wiring or suspicious activity around a meter box or mains service cables, we urge anyone with concerns to report it anonymously. You could be preventing a fire, protecting a neighbour or even saving a life.”

The spokesman said reports of suspected illegal tampering with the electricity supply could be made “100 per cent anonymously” through the Stay Energy Safe service, operated by Crimestoppers.

Stay Safe Energy said the public underestimated the risks from illegal tampering with energy supply. Two in five people said that if it were truly dangerous “we’d hear about it much more often”.

And nearly one in four believed energy theft only became a problem once something went wrong, such as a fire or an explosion.

‘Friendly fraud on the rise’
Campaigners say the findings are concerning given the dangers associated with illegal meter tampering, including electrocution, gas explosions and fires.

Stealing electricity carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail and unlimited fines, but the survey found that more than half of respondents (57 per cent) would still support stronger penalties.

Meanwhile, businesses across the UK have reported a rise in so-called “friendly fraud”, or chargeback scams, where customers tell their credit card companies they haven’t made the purchase listed on their statement, but in fact, they have.

The customer receives a refund, and the seller is charged the same amount – plus an additional fee for the process.

One business owner in London said he was so frustrated by the impact it was having that he had started investigating the fraudulent claims himself.

A spokesman for UK Finance, which represents the banking industry, said: “Chargebacks are an important consumer protection. Unfortunately, there are cases where consumers make false claims.”
