Think dependent and independent software developed using the models. The model companies need dependent software to even have a business model. Is that growing or falling?

'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans Kylie Brewer isn't unaccustomed to harassment online. But when people started using Grok-generated nudes of her on an OnlyFans account, it reached another level.

Is this coming for the women in our lives? Men you used to protect women and well, some of us "men" are doing very bad things.

Please read this article. Men especially. Women have to deal with this and we are not excused:

Please share. This is not ok.

When the C + (Iai + Io) + G + NX is worked out, the Investment I (split by ai and o for other) Iai drove the growth. The stock market wealth effect on C v wage growth on C is a measure to track; the former is weak and the latter strong. Growth disparity there is big time misery.

They all did have fat hiring binges related to the work from home scenarios, so with no more work from home + AI tied layoffs of late, "everybody is a coder now", it will get seriously ugly for that group except for the embedded on an attrition path, without replacement.

Thanks data + analysis!

Yep. Add in the $1 Trillion CAPEX per ann tied to AI (Data centre + dependents) that are only labour intensive in development, not in operation, that had a 92% share of the growth in 2025 GDP. If it pops or slows, where will the job growth come from? From the stock market wealth the 1% hold?

The Uber economy is it for some with PhDs getting that kind of salary with + gig work.

am asking for a raise today! TY!

Hmmm. Differentiating supply shocks at the real economy level, v. the monetary layer in the nominal economy, would be critical stuff. Natural inflation v. Monetary inflation. Need this also for the natural deflation also in the real economy that monetary policy has targeted. Not an easy job! Gd luck

"This morning parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers in Tumbler Ridge will wake up without someone they love—the nation mourns with them, Canada stands by them," says PM Mark Carney as he reacts to the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

so a very sluggish 2025 growth in the contribution of labour into growth overall of the economy. Tech change x Capital split with labour falling proportionally. Non-tech change tied to labour v tech change tied to labour, gives queasy consumer sentiment w 92% of growth tied to tech change CAPEX. Ugh

Am afraid to hear more truth today about "that" economy.

Got a pretty good idea of it and the mess dependent on the returns of annual capital investment of $1T year over year, that few entities are in any position to get it back with a return on it, least of all the government in taxes.
Uggh.

Liberty and Justice for all!

They have the super power of liberty and justice for all. It is nice to feel it again.

Alex Pretti's last two sentences, according to a woman next to him as he was killed:

Jacket cover of the book Profiles in Courage, by President John F. Kennedy, as re-published while in office before he was assassinated.

👏 Took an outsider to set up we hope a few examples for JFK's Profiles in Courage moments? Carney's 'rebellion' and future attempts to crush it are coming. The PM is prepared and warned as well as provided leadership for the rest of the free world. The felon in the WH cannot hide from truth.

💯 There is that one spot in my lower cabinets with an apparent mind of its own where my failure to pitch a 'neat' plastic container to recycling is replaced by a Jenga game with a destiny of an all out attack when it's least expected.

are these paratroopers from Russia pulling her out of her car?

The shenanigans are not over. Friend of Trump, Putin has joined in, and of course, China is onside with territorial integrity and Taiwan. So US and Russia v. Rest of NATO and China in lining up. Jitters?

-billionaire owned democracies in name only
