The AI layoff gamble is backfiring.
Companies that rushed to replace workers with AI are now cleaning up the mess, per The Guardian.
Meta scaled back plans to cut staff and use more AI agents after employees spent growing time cleaning up the agentsā technical and security errors. Itās now rehiring managers.
Microsoft and McKinsey are limiting employee AI use as costs pile up.
Walmart workers say AI scheduling and task tools set impossible standards and generate false alerts.
The payoff isnāt showing up: 90% of executives say AI hasnāt yet boosted productivity at their companies, per an Atlanta Fed working paper.
Yet more than 112,000 US job cuts this year have cited AI, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

What's happening now in the stock market is more than just a "correction in tech stocks."
Sure, AI CapEx concerns are legitimate and investors will always care about profitability.
But, there's more beneath the surface here.
The reality is that the market is pricing-in a major shift in the political landscape of the US.
Over the last 12 months, market expectations for a Democrat "sweep" of the US Midterm elections have tripled.
Over the last 45 days alone, these expectations are up +30 percentage points.
As it stands, markets themselves now see a near-80% chance of a Democrat "sweep" of the US Midterm elections.
President Trump has already vowed to become "Mr. Veto" if this in fact does happen.
This is post is not political, it's objective. A change in the political landscape always comes with uncertainty; markets hate uncertainty.
Objectively, the market is in the process of pricing-in two years of political gridlock.
Could this change? Of course. But markets price-in the most probable outcome, and the odds now overwhelmingly favor the aforementioned scenario.
Tomorrow sets the stage for the next two years.

Haitian kid comes out and tells the truth. Says not only were his bullies other Caribbeans, there was no Black Americans his neighborhood or his schools, he didnāt meet Black Americans until he moved to the south, where he was embraced.
Consistency is how you flow WITH the current of the only constant: change. A lack of consistency turns the natural flow of change into resistance.

Social media is really starting to get played out. Same conversations, same hypothetical questions, same debates. Black people still arguing about dating like we havenāt been having the same conversations for years.
Same podcast topics about 50/50 relationships or dating someone with kids. People start making six figures and suddenly think they have life all figured out.
This illusion of unlimited options & knowing someone because you've been following them for years.
Fake screenshots of other peopleās trades, fake text messages, and made up scenarios for engement or posting someones screen shots from years ago. Itās actually kind of crazy when you think about it.
make your money, and go enjoy your REAL life. Build real relationships, make real connections, and create memories with people outside of the internet. Thereās a whole world out there beyond these apps.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to strike Iran directly after next week's US midterm elections, with CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper briefing Trump in a rare in-person meeting on military options at the White House today, per WSJ.
Senior US officials say Cooper rarely briefs Trump in person, unless a significant military operations is to be carried out shortly. It followed a Wednesday session in which the military officers met Vice President JD Vance.
Sen. Chris Murphy, who says he has been briefed on some of the classified planning, called the plans "insane."
"It will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law," he says.

i think some of the biggest opportunities around Hyperliquid over the next few years could come from the applications built on top of it
equity perps are particularly interesting to me. Hyperliquid is heavily focused on infrastructure, which leaves room for teams to build better mobile trading experiences and gamified front ends
i'm also watching Kinetiq and its upcoming Elysium L2
HyperEVM has struggled to attract significant activity, and a faster execution environment could create new opportunities for developers and applications across the ecosystem
i expect the next phase of competition around Hyperliquid to be increasingly focused on the user experience
