Market reflections

Stocks just kept falling this week, and the drop was much bigger than last week. I wonder if people are getting worried about AI. It is rough, but I still believe things will recover. AI is only just getting started, right?

But to be honest, I have been more worried about politics than AI lately. Where is the world heading? There seem to be protests everywhere, and I cannot even guess how next week's U.S. midterm elections will turn out. I am afraid the markets could make a big move.

Well, all I can really do is hope. For now, I just want the world to be peaceful.
