If you use the following in relation to "AI", you should not be taken seriously:
"Thinking"
"Reasoning"
"go rogue"
"agentic"

@jeremyct Prices will come down, but probably not by more then 30%, and that would only be in the most speculative RE markets.

Elsewhere, prices will probably come down 15-20%, which, hey, I'll take it.

Real physical assets, homes, heavy machinery, gold, are the best inflation meter.

@ThinkAppraiser I'm surprised HOAs haven't started running their own insurance companies.

@matt503ea5sf9z5 Sometimes I want the same kind of software, without closed source, telemetry-ridden, bloatware and RAM-hungry.

Eventually people are just going to make their own facebook for their family so they don't have to deal with all the extra baggage.

@rob_mcrobberson It is convenient to have grok or whatever make me a useful random app for a specific task. But usually it's to iterate on something that already exists that's been totally enshit-ified.

@olivvrszn Pretty sure just almonds use 100x more water than all datacenters on earth.

@Matt98589226 @operationdanish You brought up parents' basement first, faggot 😄

"I know what I got"

Boomers are fucked.

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@bsmoney1 @TinyToothDDS @Investmentkage Those numbers are driven almost entirely by 1M+ home purchases, which is the home sale cohort least impacted by economic downturns.

Good luck in the nursing home, boomer.

@Matt98589226 @operationdanish So these companies are offering relocation packages?

@RoaringHammy As cringe as Ramsay is, he's correct that you shouldn't buy a new car until you're a millionaire.

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@antibearthesis They've run out of money.

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@NotA_Bull Microsoft 💯💯💯

Multiple moats, huge cash reserves, best financial position to expand cloud.

@Matt98589226 @operationdanish This shit about not finding workers is laughable because, somehow, firearms manufacturers, Origin, etc. are able to find workers.

The variable at work there, surprisingly, is "good pay".

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@jonbrooks Joke's on them, they'll be paying 15k/month in a nursing home.

@CGInvesting10 Remember, half of people are on the left of the bell-curve.

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@Matt98589226 @operationdanish I think you're divorced from reality and oblivious to the current hiring process.

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@TinyToothDDS @Investmentkage Where have you been? The economic downturn has been here for the past 18 months.

Car repos/loan defaults are higher than GFC, credit card delinquencies higher than GFC, mortgage delinquencies are trending towards GFC-levels.

Hundreds of thousands of tech workers, laid off, etc

[Smarkleton Baxter @Smarkleton]

@bsmoney1 @TinyToothDDS @Investmentkage "market" value is what the market will buy for it, not what you believe it to be in your imagination.

If no one is buying your home at a 20% premium, it's not worth that added 20%.
