The U.S. stock market had its worst day since October Friday

its biggest one-day drop since October 10, when the Trump administration threatened to impose a 100% tariff on imported goods from China.

All I wanted is a quick note when a new book from one of the authors or book series I like is published. And the same for new works from movie directors or TV series I enjoy.
An email newsletter or an RSS feed could easily handle that with no or little overhead.
But those often did not exist or were way too noisy because somebody wanted to sell something else.
And that's why soon everybody will use AI agents with all their overhead for that.

I get it, GA Power can produce power or buy it wholesale much cheaper than they sell it to me for. I made a conscious decision not to buy batteries and use grid power when my panels are not producing enough to meet my home's demand.
