The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

That's pretty disturbing if it's anything more than a very limited experiment. If they're given a remit to go in and churn up the operations of Berkshire subsidiaries on the basis of "efficiency" or some other "AI" shibboleth, for me it will be time to stop concentrating in Berkshire and just treat it as another vibe company.

Counterpoint, this study by someone at Apollo claiming that "Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech."

apollo.com - No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector

I know nothing about Apollo or the author, but they're far from the only people making this case.
