ZUCK DESTROYS APPLE:
“Apple hasn’t invented anything really cool in years.
Steve Jobs created the iPhone… and they’ve been sitting on that for almost 20 years.”
“Each generation improves so little that people no longer upgrade.
I’m not even sure they’re selling more iPhones.”
“The AirPods are great, yes… but they closed the ecosystem so that no one else can create anything that connects to the iPhone.”
“I’m quite optimistic: since they’ve been out of the game for so long and without truly innovating…
someone is going to surpass them.”
Mark Zuckerberg said it clearly.
Has Apple stagnated or does it still have magic?

A SpaceX AI employee just shared several adjustments to take GROK BOT to its maximum potential.
They have already tested them exhaustively and the results are INCREDIBLE.
These are the 4 changes:
Make the agent review its own work before responding.
Before delivering any result, ask it to compare it with the original instruction:
“Does this really meet all the requirements? If not, identify what’s missing before finalizing.”
This simple step can detect more errors than spending hours trying to perfect the prompt.
Define exactly what “DONE” means.
Saying:
“Manage my expenses”
produces results that are too open-ended.
Instead:
“Identify all transactions over $200 that do not have an associated receipt and organize them in a table.”
produces a concrete and verifiable result.
Agents are not especially good at guessing what you want. They are much better at executing clear instructions.
Force it to use a fixed structure.
Instead of asking for free text, request JSON, a table, or a specific format.
Structured content can be checked automatically.
Well-written text can simply sound convincing even when it’s wrong.
Give it access only to the tools it needs for that task.
Don’t give it access to everything “just in case.”
An agent with access to 20 tools can make worse decisions than one that has exactly the 2 necessary to complete its task.
Less access. Less noise. Better decisions.
The difference between a mediocre AI agent and a truly useful one often isn’t in the model.
It’s in how you configure it.
How many of these 4 things are you doing right now?
Can the Treasury solve the United States debt crisis?
Conclusion
-[UST 10Y: 4.74% (+0.89%) | UST 2Y: 3.71% (+0.19%)]
With U.S. national debt surpassing $40 trillion and long-term bond yields reaching multi-year highs, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced increased buybacks to stabilize the market. But as experts explain on Balance of Power, the Treasury’s short-term measures cannot resolve the structural fiscal problems.

A hedge fund manager demonstrated why all investors lose money.
Joel Greenblatt put a jar with 1,776 jelly beans in front of a room at Google and asked them to guess how many there were.
First round:
Everyone wrote down their number in silence.
No talking. No looking at each other.
Average: 1,771.
Only 5 off. Almost perfect.
Second round:
They said the numbers out loud.
They heard each other. They influenced one another.
Average: 850.
Same room.
Same jar.
The only thing that changed: the influence.
Greenblatt told them:
“The second guess is the stock market.
Everyone knows what they just read in the newspaper, what the person next to them said, and what they saw on the news.
The cold, independent estimate was better.
That’s not how the market works…
but that’s where the opportunity is.”
Then he showed 20 years of data:
The cheapest 20% of stocks → 38% annually.
The most expensive ones → the worst.
The strategy is simple.
It keeps working because people are still crazy.
And they always will be.
55 minutes. One jar. Still free.

ELON MUSK BOMBSHELL!
He just dropped the line that’s going to change EVERYTHING:
Starlink will have a single account that covers both the antenna at your house (with Wi-Fi included) AND your phone.
“SpaceX is going to give you high-speed internet DIRECTLY from the satellite to your phone… with no middlemen.”
When this takes off, you’ll be able to watch high-definition videos standing in the middle of nowhere, in any corner of the planet.
This is no longer “the future”…
It’s happening RIGHT NOW!
Who’s ready to say goodbye to dead zones?
A multimillionaire walked onto the stage, grabbed a remote, and in 42 minutes explained how the economy actually works.
Free.
No courses for sale.
No promotions of any kind.
He drew three forces on a whiteboard:
Productivity growth
The short-term debt cycle
The long-term debt cycle
With those three lines he explained almost every crash and recovery since 1929.
Business schools charge $200,000 for frameworks he solved in the first 15 minutes.
Some of those models are still considered “proprietary” at major banks — and he gave them all away for free.
Most interesting part: in 2018 he was already drawing what later happened in 2020:
Rates at zero
Central banks out of tools
Money printer running full speed
He wrote it as if he were reading the future.
Top-tier portfolio managers make their junior analysts watch this talk before they ever touch a terminal.
Not the CFA. Not internal training. This.
Millions of people have seen it.
Almost no one can name the three forces from the first 10 minutes.
I recommend you watch it and save it.
It’s still FREE.
And it’s a gem.
ELON MUSK JUST SAID WHAT NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR!
“Work is going to be optional.
Like playing video games or growing tomatoes in the garden.
You do it because you like it, not because you need to.”
And he went further:
“Money is going to stop being relevant.
The only real way to make all of humanity rich is with AI and robots.”
It wasn’t said by an influencer.
It was said by the guy who is building the most advanced robots and AI on the planet.
He’s already talking about a world where money ceases to exist.
Do you think this is real or pure millionaire hype??
