Thoughts on latest South Park episode?
The whole episode focused on Randy becoming more and more addicted to ChatGPT and relying on it to help him save his farm. Well worth a watch - I'd think Ed would find it amusing!

AI's real costs are starting to rear their head on companies.

Deal to get ChatGPT Plus for whole of UK discussed by Open AI boss and minister Peter Kyle
Why does everything have to be so stupid?
Kyle has said that if a new UN security council were to be set up in a decade, technological clout – particularly in AI – would be a major factor in determining the most powerful countries.

We need better debates
I’m getting so fucked off with what passes for AI discourse online. The artists vs AI debate is a total red herring, an irrelevance, and it’s causing an absurd amount of tribalism. Why does everything have to be a culture war?
The AI industry is doing real harm to vast numbers of people, and yet the vast majority of discussion about it centres around image extruders and whether or not ‘clanker’ is a racial slur. When did the world become this dumb?

Stocks are roaring higher this year, but Vanguard says investors should stick 70% of their money into bonds
I know this is not an investing sub, and I am not posting this with the expectation that someone should take any advice from it. It's just interesting seeing a massive player like Vanguard showing such uncertainty in the current market.

How to divest?
Let’s put our heads together and talk about how we ensure our investments against the popping of the AI bubble. As a Canadian, I keep all my investments with WealthSimple because I am too lazy to curate my portfolio. I probably have huge exposure and I want to exit the bubble before it bursts. My only option, short of day trading, is moving everything to bonds. I am also unsophisticated, because I don’t want to spend my day in trading. What is your hands off strategy for anticipating the oncoming collapse?
