Markets want to believe all will be OK as Iran war threatens global economy
By Alan Kohler

The markets' benign assessment of the Iran war is wrong and the damage to the global economy could get worse.

@troberts I generally find #AlanKohler informative, quirky and entertaining on economics. But find him enthusiastically ignorant on AI. Unfortunately people will trust him on AI as they have trusted him on economics. At least today he admitted “the technology is way above my pay grade”. #AUSEcon

Fucking Alan Kohler... the ABC does the public a disservice by printing his garbage.

"It isn't just that AI could take your job, or put millions of people on welfare, or give us infinite free software, or whatever. It's that for the first time in all of recorded history, humans no longer are — or soon no longer will be — the most intelligent beings on this planet, in any meaningful functional sense of the word." (Alan quoting some guy Noah Smith)

"any meaningful functional sense"

... someone show Alan the carwash video.

The genAI boosting continues.

Reads more and more hysterical and fear based to me.

ABC publishing industry propaganda.

These garbage machines are still telling me "A" on one simple search and "A prime" on minimally altered search terms..

AI got personal last week, and it's more complicated than we think

A fake news story about me, a series of AI breakthroughs and a resignation in the tech world show that 2026 could be pivotal for AI.

Cryptocurrency just got a boost from the US government with its first federal law regulating 'stablecoins'. Supporters – including the US President, who could personally profit – say it’ll help mainstream crypto. But as Alan Kohler reports, central banks aren’t happy.
