For tech girlies who'd rather debug their code than decode the stock market
The very first Human[X] conference took place this week in Las Vegas, NV. Anyone who is someone in the AI space took the stage at some point. Naturally, your girl was there (but not on the stage, maybe next year). There were 300+ speakers and 3000+ attendees. I still can't believe I shared a room with Thomas Wolf (who claims robotics is "it" for 2025), Cassie Kozyrkov (an absolute badass with integrity, brilliant mind and deep, phylospophical outlooks), Vinod Khosla (very first billionaire I've ever met, 70 years of age and still top of his game), and - can I please have a drumroll - Amjad Masad (fouder of Replit, vert hard-core, but I kind of love it). Personally, I have some thoughts on demographics (I plan to elaborate on this some other time). Objectively, biggest let down is zero talks on what effect will this have on the environment, as it's known that it takes a lot to keep things up and running. Money makes the world go round, so w'll stay tuned, I guess.
The market dipped 10% this week, which in finance-speak is a “correction.” But don’t panic! It’s like when your favorite app updates its UI—it looks ugly for a bit, but things usually stabilize. If you’re just investing in the S&P 500 and not day-trading crypto at 2 AM, you’re fine. Just keep scrolling.
Big tech stocks—Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc.—had a rough week, dropping 14%. What does that mean for you? Well, if you work in tech, your stock options might be worth a little less. If you don’t, just know that your next iPhone might not get cheaper anytime soon. [Source]
SXSW 2025 was all about AI, again. Some say it’s the next industrial revolution. Others say it’s just really good autocomplete. Either way, companies are pouring billions into it, so expect more AI-generated emails from your boss.
Meta, Microsoft, and Salesforce cut more jobs this week. Is this the end of tech as we know it? Nah. Think of it like spring cleaning—companies are trimming the fat before their next hiring spree. If you still have a job, maybe don’t demand a raise this month. [Source]
Investors are hyped about Nvidia’s upcoming GTC conference. If you don’t care about GPUs, just know that AI, gaming, and every piece of tech you use is powered by their chips. If Nvidia sneezes, the entire tech industry catches a cold.
See? The stock market can be fun! Now go back to your tech job and pretend you totally understand what’s happening. 🚀
