My father was one of the greatest percussionists born in modern times. His influence on our family, friends and the music community was inspiring. Thank you to all who have reached out to us, it's clear he touched many lives.

AI displacement in the global workforce is approaching like a tsunami. Infotech is, and will be hit hardest. Specialized sectors in legal, scientific follow. Only blue collar workers of decades past understand the magnitude of pain about to unfold in white collar job markets.

Job layoffs will accelerate despite cooking of the books via fed employment numbers. There is no World where AI optimized job placement versus human occupancy

My bearish outlook for the NQ continues; sector rotation will float until it doesn't. The rolling bear market in mag7 will unfold into 2026 $SPY $NQ $IGV

A dot-com bubble event is unfolding in the Software space that will transform the economy, impact markets across all information centric industries. Layoffs are just beginning and will accelerate.

What I spend my evenings doing:
> Can the code dynamically tune itself using the values from each CID's YAML entries? I don't want to have to maintain another set of parameters for each instrument. I need something dynamic and reliable if we use distance based algorithms???

The power of AI cross-services integration, which Google is well positioned for - demonstrated clearly with YouTube Music and Gemini; when I asked for a curated playlist where my late father was credited on drums

@claudeai #AI #claudecode In my 20+ years working systems, devops, cloud and datacenter, I've never used a piece of software that compares to Claude Code in it's capacity and capability. In less than 5 days I've built a complete futures trading system w/automation. Amazing.

@benonwine Yes. And I don’t even live there.

Any country who might dare challenge the might of the United States, take note:

@stepfanie Good question, but PLTR is on the case. It's a matter of time...

Had an excellent conversation with a healthcare provider about the future of AI and in-person medical- we decided on Calibrated Care (TM)

@elonmusk @grok You won’t read this, but from a developer who used this to build a life changing application- thanks bro

The US equity market is about to undergo a correction.

[Andrew J Oldaker @weatherdrew]

We're all impressed with generalist AI as we use Grok, Gemini and OAI everyday; but the real power is coming with niche AI fed via SME, proprietary, community centric inputs - all legally defensible in their realms.

They will command massive premium.
