The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

SemiCab platform by Algorhythm, previously considered a ‘penny stock’, sparks ‘category 5 paranoia’ across sector

Remember when Time Warner bought AOL due to category 5 paranoia?

In the case I trust the hundreds of developers who are domain experts to leverage AI more effectively than a car karaoke system penny stock in Florida's developers vibing a competitor out. Ignoring that ridiculous company, tere are actual tech companies in this space that have probably been prototyping AI for more than a year, starting with FlexPort.

The selloff in those was much more likely the broad based selling on the post-hoc analysis of the BLS job numbers and the market openly questioning the veracity of the statistics and unrelated to anything that SemiCab did. The AI panic is embarrassing at this point.
