  (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...

  (Source: MAS) No surprise about the demand for this month SSBs or lack of it. Next month SSBs are likely to come with a higher yield due to rising yields across the world due to inflationary pressure from higher oil prices. Out of $400m available, $184.3m found buyers.

  (Source: MAS) This month’s SSBs have yet to reflect the impact of higher SGS bonds’ yield. To a certain degree, Singapore SGS has become the gold standard. The low 10 year SGS yield reflects our prudent approach to public finance. There will be a small uptick in SSBs’ yield next month. SSB is a great risk-free instrument to house short-term liquidity. I view SSBs as a high yielding savings account especially for those looking for 1,3 and 6 month fixed deposit. At 1.46% starting yield. It is not too shabby. The closing date for applications falls on the 25th of May@9pm. God bless.  Please consider following us on telegram for the latest update on Lone Wolf investor by clicking on the link below.
