@DannyDayan5 M1 up nearly a trillion y/y, it would be very surprising if there wasn't acceleration.

If you want to understand how I called this economic reacceleration, these 3 notes below spell it out.
The Fed's estimate of neutral is the source of all of their errors. They are likely off by 1.5%, if not more.

Today’s job report shows continuation of prior 3 reports. Companies adopting AI there are large scale layoffs. Professional services particularly. Anyone who sits behind a computer is subject to cut. If you build stuff w/ your hands, you’re ok until Musk sends an army of robots.

For the 3rd month in row, AI was the #1 reason for job cuts in the US.
88k job cuts were attributed to AI so far this year, a 60% increase over the AI-driven job cuts in all of 2025.

The AI bubble math doesn't add up.
Anthropic spends $3 to make $1 and that’s before you include any and all other costs like staff or electricity.
Microsoft dumped $300B in capex, made ~$18B in AI revenue. OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up 43-54% of Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle's entire revenue backlogs.
Enterprises are burning through annual AI budgets in 4 months with zero measurable ROI.
This is the most expensive science experiment in history, funded by your SaaS subscriptions.

There are 191,000 fewer job listings in the UK than there were in May 2025. That is a 23% drop.
At the same time, employers are filing more mass-redundancy notices than at any point since lockdown.
The labour market is shutting down in both directions simultaneously.

MaxC@ColeFusionHQ
HR1 redundancy filings just dropped. 105 employers filed plans to make 9,772 workers redundant in the week to 10 May. Highest weekly employer count since Covid. Up 62% on same week 2025. HR1 leads unemployment by 3-6 months. 6%+ unemployment looks likely.

@GaryMarcus Surprising when it's taking them $2-3 to generate $1 in revenue... IPO prospectus when now ?

NVIDIA's net profit margin surged to 71% in the 1st quarter, a record high. $NVDA
“Profit margins are probably the most mean-reverting series in finance, and if profit margins don't mean revert, then something has gone badly wrong with capitalism. If high profits don't attract competition, there's something wrong with the system.” - Jeremy Grantham

@charliebilello Fiscal deficit will provide all the profits needed. Sectoral balances.

@DannyDayan5 Fiscal policy is way too loose. Cut the fiscal deficit. More important than monetary policy.
