My investing experience so far is this meme happening on an endless loop

A meme from the anime series Gundam Reconquista in G (also known as G-Reco). It shows Klimton Nicchini, a Gundam Pilot, gloating with the text 'I am a genius!' then a second frame where he looks alarmed and there are dramatic speed lines - his dialogue says 'Oh no!' as if he is about to explode.

I think I despise AI doomers more than AI boosters, but they're basically the same people - idiots who believe the marketing. There is absolutely no evidence 'Recursive self improvement' will happen. The companies running out of borrowed money and causing a stock market crash is far more likely.

Screenshot of Guardian Opinion article.
Headline: Would even an AI disaster on the scale of Hiroshima be enough to make humankind protect itself? I fear not
By line: Timothy Garton Ash
Blurb: It’s clear here in Silicon Valley that AI is advancing faster than humans’ ability to control it. That means even sober prophecies seem optimistic, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

"Xbox is weighing up cancelling its Marvel's Blade game and shuttering Arkane"

A meme generator of the scene in Jurassic Park where Ian Malcom says "Now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour, right?" but here it says "Now eventually you do plan to have games on your game platform, right?". It shows Ian Malcolm talking through a CRT, and John Hammond looking at the TV forlornly. In the film John says "I really hate that man..." next.

Calibrachoa! My favourite flower for these balcony tubs. They usually last for months, and you get to play the fun game of guessing which colour will be ultimately victorious.

Oracle Bone Script (1250 – c. 1050 BC China) has some very evocative characters. But I am a bit concerned that they needed a character for Ghost, and it's kinda creepy.

A grid of Oracle Bone Script characters and their translations.
The diagrams look like stick-figure representations of the tings. The ghost is a sort of bent line running down from a circle with a cross through it, and a arm to the right.
Also on the diagram are:
Poop
Pee, Butt, Shower, Dance, Charm, Fight, Rainbow, Pretty, Ride, Shoot, Walk, Deer, Elephant, Ghost

I'm loving the FF14 dungeon thing where the end boss doesn't explode or turn to dust. They just stay there after being beaten looking sad. Then the characters are like "Hey bud, are you okay? What were you trying to do anyway? Everything okay back in the void dimension?". Reach out to your bosses!
