Plug Power, down nearly 100%, has lost its touch. You know who hasn’t Cramer!
Spirit Sucks
I’m not sure how many of you have flown Spirit Airways, but I have, and its terrible reputation is well-deserved. This goes for all “off brand” discount carriers, including Sun Country.

TimGPT
At the outset, I should make plain my persistent skepticism about the utility of AI. Never in human history has there been so much aggressive chatter about artificial intelligence and its implications, and things started going berserk late in 2022 with ChatGPT and haven’t calmed down since then.
Countless times have I experimented with various AI tools, and with the exception of graphics generation (which is amazing), I walk away unimpressed.
Earlier today, I decided to give AI another shot, since I saw something called Automated Blog Post Writer being featured as something superb. I thus gave it the URL to my own website’s blog section, and I was very impressed by how accurate its summation of my site was.
