When Metaverse was the fancy of the CEO, the company's name was changed to Meta. Now that Artificial Intelligence is the new fancy, maybe the company will be named "Artificial". Or maybe "Gen" as in GenAI. Or Zen, to make it appear fancier.

Any bets in what Meta's new name would be now that the verse is dead? Would it be "Artificial"?

It's really bad that a publicly-traded payroll company that doesn't have nearly the level of resources nor analysis capability of the US government is the only source we have on jobs numbers.

$TSLA will gain another 5% on this news because, cult! Actually, I think there is a loose increase correlation between TSLA stock price and the company fundamentals!

If Indian government is looking to figure out things to do to improve entrepreneurship and tech startups, there are two things they need to focus on: infrastructure and rule of law. Until these two most basic foundations aren't established, everything else is putting lipstick on a pig.

If there is one thing I realized after a (few) painful year(s), loyalty is a one-way street, unless you're chummy with the people that matter. A company has zero loyalty, morality, ethics or scruples. It can throw you out for no reason other than your manager dislikes you, despite great results...

The only reason people buy the new iPhone is vanity and Apple knows it. The new color is selling like hot cakes because now everyone can show that they have the latest iPhone without having to say it.

It's very generous to call Meta's story "investing now than you should for the future". It's more like a CEO's vanity project and the company still doesn't have much to show for the tens of billions it dumped into Metaverse! Given the track record, it's natural for investors to be wary.
