(Image credit:Thai Beverage) I bought a position in Thai Beverage during my staycation. I had a GTD order filled. Here I am back in Thai Beverage at a lower price than before. A few points on Thailand situation. (Opportunity came knocking when you least expected, on vacation) 1.) Thailand has a new Prime Minister. He promised to call for an election in about 4 months’ time. I hope that will finally bring stability to the country. 2.) In the meantime, he is implementing the half-half policy. Small businesses will benefit from the government policy. The Thai government will co-fund half of consumer spending. 3.)

The headaches of dealing with transport workers’ unions can be a political risk to any government. For dealing with unions, ComfortDelGro earns a fee for the service. The negatives. 1.) I don’t like the increase in gearing and it is heading towards the low 20% soon. The increase in gearing was due to fleet purchases/renewal in Manchester and London. I...
(Image credit: openaccessgoverment.org) Oh! MyGod(thos) I had the privilege of speaking to a friend who formerly worked as a developer for AI. Through the 2 hours of conversation. My knowledge of AI has been upgraded from the status of Noob. He is trying to develop an AI model for the education sector. I wouldn’t go further since it is still a work in progress. He hopes to get a running model by the end of next month. The hottest job now in the tech space is AI developer. From our conversation, I got to know, an experienced developer makes $25,000 a month with one of the big tech. Even the junior developer is drawing a 5-figure salary. If anyone is looking for a career transition, a developer in the AI industry draws in top dollar. The conversation also sparked my interest in AI. I chanced upon Anthropic, Claude Mythos, the most powerful frontier AI model ever created. After reading and trying to understand the implications of Mythos, I walked away quite disturbed by the la...
