AI prompt: Idle chatter. Investing.
It seems that in the old days, last year (LOL) one-billion-dollar IPOs and $10 billion for OxyChem (Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett) were big stories. Now, headlines every day, AI companies throwing $100 billion around for deals and IPOs upwards of $850 billion or even $1.5 trillion (SpaceX -- Musk). Is it just my imagination or have we stepped into a new financial world? LOL.
Reply: the first line was quite remarkable. Something I first thought about some years ago.
