Us stocks are significantly overvalued because the investors are projecting future gains from selling AI services into them. This threatens to pull the rug under it, getting the money withdrawn and put into emerging markets, if investors start believing that it will give higher returns.
Is any of this based on any understanding? I don’t really think so. I’m in the middle of this and I have a lot of opinions, but it’s hard for me to predict what will happen tomorrow despite thinking that most of the people in the world have it wrong.

As an example, a fund we own a small part of was recently in talks to buy a share of Anthropic. We got a long report about the expected profits, and the gist of it was that it’ll keep growing rapidly for a decade because that’s what Google and Facebook did 20 years ago. I don’t think you have to be a genius to doubt that, on the other hand the nonsensical growth keeps happening so what do I know?
The sale fell through and I’m pretty happy tbh.

Add F*cking to Your Google Searches to Neutralize AI Summaries

$1bn revenue not enough to offset Meta's AR/VR Reality Labs' $4.4bn loss
Meta has published its earnings report for the three months ending December 31 2024, and despite $1.08 billion in reven…
Pretty surprised they reported 1 billion in revenue for AR/VR for one quarter. Shocked that they are spending four times that much every quarter.

Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone
Under the U.K. law, it’s illegal for the company to even talk about the existence of the order.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that governments can always be trusted and backdoors never fall into bad actors hands.
