Der Internet-Konzern hat so viel Geld, dass es sich leisten kann, so viel in der KI zu Investieren - Zeit ist Geld aber egoistisch, wenn nicht ausbeutend. Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass deren Glaube an ihrem Erfolg, auch als Religion bezeichnet werden kann.

#TrumpMedia merger wins investor approval, netting #Trumppotential windfall
TFG will own ~60% of #TruthSocial, which at its current share price would be worth ~$3.3B.
A lockup agreement will prevent him from selling the shares for 6 months.
A long-delayed move that will open the owners of TruthSocial to stock-market investors & grant Trump a stake worth billions he could use to pay down his #legal#debts.

If you're think the key to economic success is productivity growth then the lagging expansion of productivity in the UK (and the EU) will be a concern.
Most notably while the global financial crisis hardly impacted US productivity growth, for the UK/EU, after 2008, slow(er) productivity growth has resulted in a growing productivity gap.
Is the US is benefitting from more investment, the status of the dollar as reserve currency or more state stimulus, or all three?
The labels have already started to appear in some shops for some products, and the Food & Drink industry fears that such labelling will deter both customers & #investment in the UK's food/drink sector.
Recent headlines suggested customers took the view that this indicated sub-standard goods, whatever the actual quality....
Earnings growth, while easing, seems to be continuing at a level that will likely prompt the BoE to cite a wage-#inflation spiral as the reason to (again) not ease #interestrates....
I've posted a lot on this, so here will just say the BoE is missing the main issue which is the UK continuing crisis in #productivity growth, which is to say prices are driven up by external factors (and profits), but the BoE only 'sees' the wage rises...
Times are tough for the #hospitality & #leisure sectors... But, Ten-pin Bowling has actually seen revenues (& footfall) rise in the last couple of years.
While it is a classic case of a cheap(isn) family treat (when times are hard), its also a case of benefitting from sunk-costs.
Once built, blowing alleys' marginal/variable costs are low & so operators have been using that surplus to cross-subsidise their #food offer, thus resisting #Inflation.
Your #water bill will rise by 6% in April; Water companies have requested a 40% uplift in prices over the next five year period (2025-30). This, they say will help cover the necessary #investment needed to address the obvious problems we are currently seeing.
But, if #privitisation was intended to ensure a free flow of capital for infrastructure & these firms having been paying high dividends for years, how is it the customer is being tapped for investment resource?
'The way you make [disruption] less costly in the long run is by spending more money upfront to build a more robust & resilient system in the first instance.... But the do-nothing option costs a lot more money over a longer period'!
We now have data for #Germany; #GDP has shrunk by 0.3%.
But before the #brexiters starting rubbing their hands, like the UK's figure, this is well within the margin of error to potentially be revised upwards into growth (just like the UK, minuscule 'growth' could end up as a small negative move).
We might also be best to be looking at other figures, like levels of #investment or balance of trade...
Both of which suggest Germany's problems look temporary, while the UK's looked baked-in
The Wapiscanis Waseskwan Nipiy Limited Partnership, comprised of nine First Nations and three Métis settlements, has been provided a $150 million loan guarantee by the Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation for an 85 per cent interest in oil and gas infrastructure assets in the north of the province
