AAPL is currently up at $188.10 +1.22 (+0.65%). We ended yesterday's thread with the post about Dan Ives raising his price target to $275. That would be nice to see.

Google's AI system isn't reliable. It just took an Onion article (satire site) and used that as knowledgeable information. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/BQcyVtV4/niup2gzrv92d1.webp) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/KYVsMTRr/vri9qoisv92d1.webp)

Small typo there. But we all know what you mean 😉 I sure hope Apple has its ducks lined up mid June. But surely Apple must know their messaging at WWDC will need to be ‘laser focused’, to use an Appleism. And that their road map gives a clear path to the future. Anyway here’s hoping WWDC’s impact is as loud as Ive’s suits.

Whereas on my side of this little blue green marble I’m on the last glass wine of the evening - which can produce far more interesting typos.

Maybe Googles AI just has a strange sense of humor. Perhaps best to read their end users agreement first before using.

In going down the rabbit hole of youtube videos this week, both to figure out an engine problem and close out some of my old tabs (got up to about 200), it's been amazing to come across ads and videos that are computer generated (hard to know if they are AI generated or if someone tried to match the words to the mouth movements), and also to see the ads they threw at me. I hope that it is just a mess up, and that the ads I am seeing are not indicative of what they think of me based on the videos I have opened. I might have to go watch some van life videos just to reset the algo.
Kind of worrisome for them to be pushing the benefits or ways to get serial numberless assault weapons, and all of the best non-stock/realty/crypto investments. Really to anyone. It might be ok somewhere, but on youtube when watching car repair videos?
Fun times. It's better than getting worried about a 4 point drop one day and then a 3 point gain the next day, all just to get a flat week.

And we have a close at 2 cents under $190. Wow, I wonder how the options traders are able to do that so consistently.

In going down the rabbit hole of youtube videos this week, The YouTube experience gets a little better with a subscription which kills the ads. But I always remember that Google owns them.

Once it starts reading AI generated material and feeding it back, it becomes an endless loop of potential crap. I hope it doesn't happen!

In going down the rabbit hole of youtube videos this week, The YouTube experience gets a little better with a subscription which kills the ads. But I always remember that Google owns them. Thanks for the reminder. They keep trying to have me sign up for 2 months free. Part of this all depends on what you are using youtube for. I generally don't use it for entertainment, but did start watching most episodes of AandE Adventures where they are living in their popup truck camper. A younger couple that is pretty self sufficient with a "can do" attitude, living the dream that some of us visualize, whether part time or full time. They don't have too many subscribers, so I was happy watching ads to get them a tiny bit of income, though a subscription should do the same thing. But on times where I am watching videos on fixing small engines, big engines, or car things, the annoying part is watching ads for videos that don't end up helping you. Because of this I thought up a micropayment "give them a tip" type system 5-8 years ago, somewhat similar to what they implemented, but there wasn't really a good way to get your foot in the door when they own the system. Their system is ok, but it could be improved even if that might make it a lot more complicated. And then if auto "donating" is part of it, it would encourage more autogenerated videos, diluting the system. But the flip side is with a "Thanks, here's a tip" system, you could take that and build an option into the search algo which could help push what people value the most (because they paid something after seeing it) up in the rankings. It could make a "race to the top" to promote something, but as long as the search algos did a good job of segmenting topics it likely would be ok (with the coming election round, you wouldn't want political videos pushed to the top of all topic searches). There might not be an uncomplicated perfect way. And just because some idea might work well with my usage doesn't mean it works for everyone else. In the feedback of AandE Adventures being demontenized for a few weeks, and of other channels sometimes in the same position, it seems like there is room for some competition with youtube. But like streaming video TV channels, the ideal situation would be to come in with new and exciting content, since you wouldn't have the benefit of a huge library of existing content. It would take some work, but there are some chinks in the armor if someone was inclined to go for it. So then it partly comes down to if the current system is bad enough that people would be encouraged to change, because there is always some energy involved in that. ...not entirely unlike our occasional issues or limitations with pro boards, vs finding ways to make it work or feeling it is "good enough". The easiest choice is often to stick with the tried and true, just like the Hamlet soliloquy.
