"The logic of the classic 60/40 allocation between the two, for instance, relies on their tendency to fluctuate in opposite directions over short periods while both appreciating in the long run. This results in a portfolio with a steadier value than a stock-only one, without sacrificing too much in the way of expected returns. The more stocks and bonds move together, the less this logic holds.

…the best response to markets that ebb and flow together might be not to dump the classic stock-bond split, but to reassess its weights. Bonds now provide a thinner buffer for equity risk."

"America wakes up to AI’s dangerous power"

"Until now. Suddenly, America’s free-wheeling treatment of AI looks as if it is coming to an end. The reason is that the models’ dizzying progress also poses a threat to America’s own national security, unnerving members of the Trump administration previously more inclined to worry about overregulation. At the same time, growing resentment among American voters is turning AI into a political lightning-rod. A laissez-faire approach is no longer politically tenable or strategically wise.

History suggests that, with a technology as world-changing as AI, a Mythos moment was inevitable. From John D. Rockefeller to Henry Ford, America’s great industrial innovations were led by a small number of men who grew immensely powerful. Eventually, 20th-century governments stepped in to tame over-powerful industries, from the trust-busting that broke up Standard Oil to the creation of the Federal Reserve and the breakup of AT&T. Those times were at least as polarized and febrile as today’s are. And our calculations suggest that the AI gods are not yet any more dominant than their historical predecessors were.

But history also suggests that controlling AI will be fraught. That is partly because the stakes if things go wrong are so high. It is also because AI is evolving at warp speed."
