Have a cursory glance at the artificial intelligence news cycle under the new administration, and you might think it is only about data centers, trillions of dollars in investments, bellicose statements regarding geopolitical rivalries, and rescinding woke AI policies.

By targeting senior Iranian government and military officials, eliminating top nuclear scientists, and crippling critical components of the regime’s nuclear weapons infrastructure, Israel has forced the mullahs into a position they likely never imagined possible before the strikes.

However, beneath those headlines simmers a more chronic problem. Uncle Sam’s long-term diagnosis for the health of Social Security relies on a completely unreasonable assumption […]
