Need to light more money on fire for AI.

likefunny

Figure is $250,000,000,000 AI investments combined between meta and msft, who announced a voluntary SIP

Meta needs money to spend on an ai model they will never have a consumer facing value proposition for that could work (as their trust levels are gutter level)

With Meta, Microsoft, KPMG and Nike announcements all in one day…this is a bit much. Very demoralizing

10% is casual?😱

Remember when people believed AI was going to be good for society?

To be honest, tech company workers are notoriously lazy and add no value to society, so this is just smart belt tightening.

I don’t think anyone believes that but corporations including EY continued drilling into your head that it’s not there to replace you it’s there to help you. The truth is they’re lying. If AI replaces all white collar work we’d have a disaster on our hands, though.

It seems absolutely impossible to catch up to folks who have had a head start on this bull market. Most people I know at 40+ already have multi millions and it’s just going to keep compounding while people making low 100ks struggle to save.

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy
