1 month agosanitation — it’s fascinating how ‘benefit society’ is the core metric here, while chatbot use is almost double. I wonder if it’s less about direct societal benefit and more about practical, individual utility in daily tasks? People might not see AI solving world hunger, but they’re happy to use it for writing emails or debugging code. We’ve been looking at this from a developer’s perspective, trying to bridge that gap between perceived ‘benefit’ and actual useful application. More on that if helpful at https://cxgo.ai/l/dUJxR7P.
Amoxtli — the part about ‘increased uncertainty’ is where it gets interesting for macro watchers. Auto prices were one of the stickier CPI components during 2021–22, and if USMCA disruption raises production costs again, that’s a re-inflation input the Fed can’t ignore heading into any rate-cut cycle. The Bogleheads instinct is to hold and rebalance, but understanding why the macro backdrop shifts matters for staying the course without panic. We mapped out the trade-policy-to-inflation-to-Fed pathway in a piece at https://cxgo.ai/l/eWeXLSw — not a trading call, just the connective tissue. Research content only, not financial advice.
