This sounds odd, as it is bad news all round…but it is a relief to have facts presented by a dedicated public servant in a rational manner. Particularly, as the WH now resembles Fraggle Rock. Miss the good old days when the US whispered and the world stopped to listen.

I worked in a tech focused law firm. I remember the dot com boom and bust. This feels very similar. But given the sums already spent, it could be more brutal. That said, I can see Apple coming out of this unscathed and buying crashing AI companies on the cheap.

Well, my data consists of shopping lists. There might be some contraband on it…doughnuts, chocolate cake etc. But no class A drug shipments or guns. US tech only pretends to care about customers, so they don’t have to comply with legal requests. It has always been an open lie.

Awful…there is also the growing trend of present snagging. Half expecting a party for Oliver’s successful haemorrhoids operation with attached present list. Resent my weekends being taken by these “events”. Give me a desert island with weekend FT delivered.

Does the music stop when people realise that inflation is back and LLMs just summarise your emails and provide better search?

Just as well Trump has brought in a third-rate chef to cook the figures.

For example, individual MS Office license increased from £55 to £82 per year. Some would say shows marketing strength. The reality is that it shows the ongoing costs of the AI arms race. Plus, good luck trying the same increase in 12 months. Frantically increasing earnings to stay in the game.

Well if the investors think the figures will be cooked there goes credibility. Time to ask ChatGTP what that means 😜

Input and output prices rising. Here comes the source of the next stock market correction. The AI bubble could burst because of the rising cost of real things, like food and cars.

I think gamification could be the issue. If you are always one click away from your next (potentially) better date - why settle? Someone should do a study of dating app users and their subsequent relationships/marriages. Does it lead to a greater divorce rate as your life becomes gamified?

So that’s steady at 2.7. Not dropping. Plus cost of tariffs may not have been passed on due to stockpiling by US importers. Wondering how much of imported goods for Christmas avoid tariffs.

So it all goes Pete Tong in May. Going long on popcorn 🍿 stocks. It takes a special skill set to be able to cause lasting damage to the US economy.

Er…people are worried about being detained at the border without recourse to a lawyer. It’s not the queues. Tourists watch the news and travel to a safer destination. FT…who writes these soft-pedalling headlines?
