Actually a spot on summary.
This about sums it up.

Gemini multimodal is fun, but I’m back on Claude.

I can’t take the additional hallucination rate now that I’m used to not seeing it.

Feels like much of the contractionary stuff comes in later on. Not really as growth negative as I thought.

GBP is such a crowded short at this stage, that initial context is important to keep in mind when watching mkt moves

Oil market: this has been a really interesting time where the forecast has been bearish for months but the price action hasn’t followed through

More recently tactical models turned bullish despite deteriorating fundamentals

One where patience and a focus on big picture is key, not picking pennies

📽️What on earth is "fiscal drag"?
Why will it form the centrepiece of @RachelReevesMP's efforts to raise money this week?
Why are Budgets getting ever more complex?
And could this one backfire like @George_Osborne's omnishambles?

Biggest surprise this year in US has been how robust spending has been even as nominal incomes slowed (and continue to slow), while tariffs rose.

This is naturally led to a more thrifty consumer, unwilling to absorb significant price rises, which have hurt restaurant margins and the like.

Quite interesting that despite similar bond market moves, UK and Japan budgets are v different.

Japan’s budget is expansionary, could lead to less issuance in fy2025, and debt to gdp is trending down.

Not so in the UK.

It really shows how pervasive this accounting fraud bs narrative is that they had to do this..
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

Gold’s strength in conjunction with stocks makes sense given recent trends.

Just a shame considering I was expecting the opposite (for both)

I don’t see the benefits of agentic commerce…

I definitely am not trusting AI to book flights for me.

And I can do groceries on app in about 2 minutes…

What is the use case?

TPU was always going to be the main competitor.

Bad news? It took them 7 generations to get this good and a lot of money. It only really works when you have a big business with custom workloads!

Amazon is on gen 3 and still struggling.

Didn’t @tracyalloway.bsky.social say “it’s not a real problem if it’s solvable with money”?
The governing rule of the American economy is that we can't have anything unless it's something a technology company needs.

Welcome to Budget week.

We can finally stop speculating about how shit it could be, instead confirm that it was indeed that shit 😂

Also likely vol in Sterling and gilts. Should be fun.

Momentum reset has taken out much of the froth in market

The relative performance of power, cables, and Google vs oracle and meta is helpful as it shows market is focusing on RoC of bottom line

Would like to see more pain in quantum, non profitable tech etc, but my sentiment index is now neutral

Netflix will likely generate 3.1bn in ads over 2025 (I think).

Will openAI catch up to Netflix by end of 2026??
November 21, 2025 at 7:15 PM
AI concerns boil down to:

1) Adoption - are the models useful and at scale?

2) business model - if useful, how do we monetise this?

3) Timing, will it do so over a horizon thays investable

Useful life, valuation are not in public markets. I don’t really care what anthropic/ openAI fund for!
