Fun fact I learned listening to RNZ today. Cricket boxes were first used in the 1890s. Cricketers first started wearing helmets in the 1970s. It took 70 something years for blokes to figure out that their heads were also important.

Front page of ODT this morning is a very strange picture. Not one of the cops is looking at the guy with his hands up. Looks like he's just been photoshopped in there.

Is there an AI bubble? Of course there is. Just like the dot-com bubble, the crypto bubble, the tulip bubble and many many more. Give something new enough hype and investors will ignore the fundamentals and throw themselves on the bonfire.
