An AI customer service assistant has landed a company in trouble. A small UK business recently suffered thousands of pounds in financial losses and became entangled in legal disputes after its AI chatbot independently offered an 80% discount. $Salesforce.com(CRM)$   $ServiceNow(NOW)$   $LivePerson(LPSN)$   $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   $Amazon.com(AMZN)$   A customer reportedly spent nearly an hour cleverly guiding the AI through a conversation.

Michael Saylor's  packs an enormous amount of insight!  He points out a core reason why Bitcoin's price is being suppressed: the traditional financial system still lacks a mature, well-developed Bitcoin lending (borrowing against BTC collateral) market.Large Bitcoin holders who need cash right now basically face two bad options:Sell their Bitcoin outright to raise funds → this directly dumps selling pressure on the market and pushes the price down. $CME Bitcoin - main 2603(BTCmain)$   $Strategy(MSTR)$   Use their Bitcoin as collateral to borrow money instead. At first glance, you'd think the second option is better and shouldn't hurt the price—but it actually does, and h

Came across this interesting FB post about common norms in Singapore. As job opportunities dwindle, retrenchments rise, and the cost of living soars, more people are feeling hopeless Original Post: Full Story: 3am Stories - 14,000 Singaporeans Got Retrenched Last Year. You've Probably Sat In The Back Of One Of Their Grab Cars And Never Asked. I got into a Grab last month. From my office at Fortune Centre back to my place. Late at night. Long ride.

Most Grab rides in Singapore are just two people sharing silence and air-conditioning for twenty minutes. But then I noticed the lanyard. It was hanging from the rearview mirror.

China’s exports to the United States are reportedly experiencing the largest wave of tariff evasion in history. According to Bloomberg, last year the value China declared for exports to the U.S. exceeded the actual U.S. import statistics by about $112 billion. This suggests that nearly a quarter of Chinese goods may have bypassed tariff oversight. High tariffs and intense competition have fueled a surge in tax-avoidance tactics. Some logistics providers are offering ultra-low “tax-included” shipping packages, even promising cost savings of 40% to 50%. Some American businesses say they can manage the tariffs themselves, but what truly hurts is when competitors slash prices by 10% to 20% through tax evasion. This highlights how steep tariffs may have unintentionally fostered an underground t

The shift we’ve been hearing about is no longer "future talk"—it’s happening right now. AI is cutting through both white-collar and blue-collar roles at a pace we haven't seen before, and the harsh reality is that job creation is not keeping up with job losses. It’s been a heavy start to the year. Seeing a few of my own friends get retrenched recently has made it clear: the shift is no longer just "news"—it’s our current reality. ​🚨 MASS LAYOFF TRACKER: The Numbers Don't Lie ​The scale of recent announcements is staggering.

​Stop scrolling! Muthu boy just found the legendary "Wok Hei" treasure at No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow! 🏆 ​I heard the tales, so I put on my best eating shorts and headed down.  Even for a Michelin star, the wait was a breezy 20 minutes—just enough time for Muthu to do a little "hunger dance" by the stall! 💃🐕 ​If Muthu boy were to describe this plate in detail, he’d tell you it’s a roller coaster of sweet, salty, and smoky magic! Here is the breakdown of that legendary flavor: ​🔥 The "Wok Hei" (Breath of the Wok) ​The very first thing you taste isn't a spice—it’s the smoke.
