18. Like it or not, AI has a solid function in business

It is a huge productivity boost. It saves a ton of time wasted searching for a good answer and then it can help refine and fine tune that answer into a precise, robust professional result. I use it every day.

I don’t disagree there will be huge market fluctuations though. I do plan to invest in Anthropic when they go public as I use their solution on a daily basis and they are actually placing guard rails and alignment technology responsibly as they improve the technology. I recommend you watch the interview with the CEO and members of the company on 60 minutes.

I don’t disagree with your take on bitcoin/digital currencies though. That is a scam and it’s used by criminals both known and unknown. Trump is literally accepting bribes using it.
