Like how we have rolled out LEDs that consume far less power than incandescent bulbs so you'd expect power consumption to drop, but then we just start installing lighting in more areas and overall power usage continues increasing. In the same way, automation could just facilitate expanded reach and you could have one person + AI doing the work of 10 previously but the Client base could then expand 10x. This feels like exactly what society should be gunning for, though there may be bumps along the way.
So many types of technology have massively increased efficiency and we just end up doing more of it rather than the efficiency leading to less humans needed.

was thinking about putting some money into AI but today their stock tanked 20+%. I did not read the article but the headline mentioned something about possible accounting fraud in revenue reporting.
Are these accounting scandals usually the end of most companies? Isnt that what happend to enron?

Many people here have been trying to go short since December 2022 lol.
By the time the market actually falls, they'll be broke lol.
Must suck to be right and broke at the same time lol.

Still got lots of premiums expiring in May so I’ll be back to positive and long term positions are looking good. Cano is potentially the next option position to expire worthless but I’m still hoping for either private equity(Barry Sternslicht) or Humana to buy them out.

Agreed. WSJ had a good article on this. That's why I invest in small and mid caps. Actually it's probably time to move some more funds over to them and other sectors.

Big flip in rate hike expectations for the next Fed meeting after the job numbers, went from like 60/40 hold/25bps hike to 30/70
or might have been 50/50 before, could have sworn it was more like 60/40
