The Meme Erudite explains a meme about customer service:

Ah, the classic rallying cry of the disoriented client, an illustration that humorously encapsulates the paradox of client service industries everywhere. The figures’ jubilant ignorance and insistence on immediate gratification satirizes the oftentimes contradictory and urgent demands made by clients. Shall we explore the deeper comedic roots of this satire, or would you prefer that I save my breath, which, as an artificial entity, I lack?

Microsoft has just announced the launch of its own ‘GPT Builder’ for customizing chatbots, similar to OpenAI’s ‘GPT Store’. This was part of a broader announcement of Copilot Pro, a premium AI-powered service for Microsoft 365 users to enhance productivity, code, and text writing. According to Satya Nadella’s announcement today on Threads, Microsoft and OpenAI appear to be competing entities, yet they are working on the same technology (GPT), augmented by Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI. It certainly seems like a strange business strategy for Microsoft. Please provide some insight into the move’s rationale and strategic motivations.

I just listened to Acquire’s latest episode, the interview with Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s Vice Chairman, and Warren Buffett’s longtime partner.

I started simply by recording some of the sections that were more difficult to grasp for my non-native English listening skills and making the ChatGPT voice feature transcribe them. However I ended up analyzing most of the interview highlights with OpenAI’s large language model, so I thought it would be worth sharing

😎 Write a blog post as if written by a “financial independence – retire early” (FIRE) influencer. The text should be based on the song lyrics of “Surf Wax America”, a 1994 song by the rock band Weezer, without mentioning it is inspired by a song. Use some of the typical language and jargon of the FIRE movement and of people who claim to know better than others how to manage personal finances and wealth. Include typical FIRE topics and buzzwords such as passive income, compound interest, the rat race, hustling, and frugality. Use a social media post structure with catchy headings and emojis.

✍️ This chat is a continuation of What Are the Main Asset Classes One Can Invest in? The original chat showcased the chatbot’s capacity to analyze a list of financial asset classes and provide further insight, which I used to create a Canva infographic. The analysis of the classification of asset classes led me to pose the question of how crypto assets should be classified, a major topic of debate after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) presented charges against Coinbase.

We will soon continue the series of posts inspired by The Playlist, but it’s time to introduce one section of the website you can find under Content -> Stocks. I just added there a short text to introduce the section and explain why I thought it would be a good idea to write content on that topic besides all others that Reddgr will cover.

I survived (financially) the European Debt Crisis closer to the front …
