Posted this in 2023, and it’s even more relevant today. AI continues to be a transformative tool, but the 'human element' (and the power cord) remains the ultimate balancer. Let's keep the focus on progress, not panic. #AI @Giersh #AIAnxiety #AIAlignment

Solving the hysteria around #AI.

AI does have an Achilles heel unless, of course, we eventually become wired up as #humanbatteries.

@FerroTV @lisaabramowicz1 Yale says you’re "poor" at $200k/yr, yet the latest @BankofAmerica survey shows spending up 2.5% as consumers treat tax refunds like a jackpot instead of a 529 deposit. We aren't celebrating US savings; we’re just subsidizing the next shopping spree.

Question answered @BloombergTV!

[Ed Gjertsen II, CFP® @EdGjertsenII]

Dear @BloombergTV and @mckonomy, should market participants and observers worry about #dataintegrity emanating from Washington? Curious about your observations of how "bad news" would be received at the various levels.

[Ed Gjertsen II, CFP® @EdGjertsenII]

Dear @SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordon, fresh from an encounter of "seat savers", why do I bother spending an additional $40 for an early bird for my spouse and I when I can buy one and save my $40 hard earned dollars and save seats?!? #policychange #earlybirdersunite #badpolicy

So wait @waitbutwhy, the recent headlines of "Warmest temperatures EVER on Earth" may not be true?!? Don't get me wrong, humans are a clever virus, sorry, species that have undoubtedly impacted the planet. But how again did dinosaurs impact climate change...too much flatulence?!?

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

@elonmusk The climate might have been too good. The dinosaurs reigned during a long, warm greenhouse Earth. The subsequent reign of the mammals took place during an increasingly cold and erratic climate, which was a key ingredient in growing the ape brain.

@EqualisFP @katrina_soelter @AviseFinancial @finplan @vazhuang Congrats @EqualisFP! So great to hear!

@jimpavia Wait, they have printers that make stuff rather than just print stuff? How cool is that! What's next, computers that begin to think like humans? Doubt that will ever happen...

[Ed Gjertsen II, CFP® @EdGjertsenII]

Your #FICO score can affect more than loans. Auto and home insurance companies use #FICO in their rate determination. This is why @FerroTV pays less in premiums than @tomkeene! #knowyourFICO #financialplanning101

@MetLife We are working directly with a MetLife executive to solve our client's frustrating issue. Thank you!

[Ed Gjertsen II, CFP® @EdGjertsenII]

@MetLife, my elderly client received two 2022 RMDs payments through Alight. Several hour plus calls later - no resolution! The stress the processing error created is taking a toll on my client's already fragile health. I need senior management to get this resolved. DM me please!
