When it comes to inflation, you might be able to do the new math, but I say that's a danger because you can't change your financial thinking or your emotional money ideas fast enough or thoroughly enough. I remember movie tickets for 12 cents and gas at 23 cents a gallon, but so what?
Is Google's $80 billion stock sale trivial or vital? Remember that Google’s original initial public offering (IPO) on **August 19, 2004**, raised a total of **$1.67 billion** in capital, giving the company an initial market valuation of **$23 billion**.
I have no fixed opinion on AI, but I do know the perspective is worth more than intelligence.
