How’s it going? I’m guessing your home now.
Be very, very careful.
Here’s How Everyone is Using AI in 2025
People are using AI for support (both professional and personal) in 2025
In fact, the top three use cases (therapy, life organization, and finding purpose) all show that AI can assist humans in managing both emotions and their life.
| 2024 | Use Case | Category | 2025 | Use Case | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Generate Ideas | Content Creation |
1 | Therapy & Companionship | Support |
| 2 | Therapy & Companionship | Support | 2 | Organize Life | Support |
| 3 | Specific Search | Research & Analysis |
3 | Find Purpose | Support |

No, “In fact, the top three use cases (therapy, life organization, and finding purpose) all show that AI can assist humans in managing both emotions and their life.” is NOT a fact at all. If the data is correct, the only fact you can draw from the table is that humans are asking for help in managing their emotions and life. Bearing in mind that human psychologists and psychiatrists get this sort of stuff so wrong so much of the time, and that the LLM derive their “advice” from these peoples’ resources and are giving it without any consideration for an individual’s circumstances, be ready for much more depression, school shootings, social instability, Tesla burners etc. Ferret’s free advice for the three categories:
- Get a dog. Walk it at least twice a day. Great therapy and companionship.
- Get a job. That’ll organise a third of your day. You sleep another third. You’re allowed to be disorganised for your time off, except you must walk the dog.
- Read Ecclesiastes. “Eat drink and be merry”. Even Solomon says that a living dog is better than a dead lion, and Ferret is definitely not advocating getting a dead lion.
ipso 15:27,
apart from the complete ridiculousness of such a statement, when did a radio station actually “get things done”, let alone “getting important things done”?
Somebody brought up with me yesterday how disgusting it was that Trump wore a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral. He had seen it on SBS (Australia’s govt funded ultra-woke leftist TV ‘truth’ channel). I showed him the photos of half the attendees wearing blue, Prince of Wales in blue, and asking him what Zelensky was wearing. Of course, he didn’t know.
“Getting important things done” = spreading lies, hate and dissension.
Ipso Banks of the west
I watched part of a video on a young American man who married a Russian woman he met while in college. I didn’t need to watch all of it because I got the message. They started out here moving to a couple of states to find a good place to raise a family which having their first child health care costs were astronomical.
I didn’t see all of it but they wound up in Russia and that’s where they’ll stay. They didn’t move there looking to get rich like people coming to Europe or US think their coming for till they see the hype it’s just poverty in another level.
He said he wouldn’t of been able to afford his second child his son so a boy and a girl, in the US. Not just affordability, but nature all around in the absence of mass immigration, the streets safe to walk day and night pretty much like the 1950s here, no school shootings to worry about by some guy who doesn’t know who he or she is or fear of kids playing outside, no 72 genders or messing with their kids minds by normalizing mental health issues in their kids schools and getting a normal education and no DEI hires. Traditional family values are not under threat but the norm. In comparison, there’s no reason for them to go back to the west.
As far as Swift banking there are other alternatives and had no problem getting money and using crypto is one of them.
The actions of bankers like Spain are going to push money right out of their banks. There could be a agenda behind it but the people world wide will rebuke any attempt for them or gov to eliminate cash or control their money. Still good for both crypto and PMs.
The Truth … who needs it! Not the commies evidently.
“I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.”

Buygold HL
It’s one of the stocks I remember after doing research about 20 years ago on the highs in PM stocks of the 1980s which got wiped out in a computer virus a few years later when a company change took my virus protection with it. Att bought it.
Some are no longer there or were bought up. From what I remember HL intraday reached as high a 50 dollars and end of day about 35 dollars. Production or sympathy on all PM stocks I don’t know because they moved up significantly from their lows. HL average was about 5 dollars before the move.

Exactly … if you think that deal with China was an accident today, I have a bridge in China to sell you.
The status quo/index markets are dominating today. It shouldn’t last long.
Comex open interest is at the lows. They had to do something.
Next week should be interesting with the Fed and China back in the markets.
The Fed will probably hold the line now.
The markets might freak on that.
We will see.

I know I’ve said this before, as well, but it’s a PERCEPTION thing for the cartel.
If they can continue to dissuade people from investing in the mining stocks, they can continue to play their games with these stocks ( i.e. take out all of the stop orders in one fell swoop, and create their “waterfall.”)
HL
Outside of Hecla, whose earnings actually didn’t look too bad, the volume in the miners is anemic again. Same with SLV and GLD.
I know I keep harping on this, and we’ll find out if it matters, but these shares are cheap.
What’s happening with Hecla is criminal. Their sales were 5% higher over last quarter and they had all-time high EBITDA of over $90 million. The sellers are looking at the fact that they missed estimates by $.01.
I’m not advocating for HL and I don’t own it, but what’s happening is pretty ridiculous. What’s happening in the metals at least today is non-sensical but just part of a vanilla pullback. The scum is taking advantage of some weak hands, and it doesn’t seem like this is any more than that. Part of the E-Wave pullback? Who knows, but we’re going higher, and I don’t think we’re going to have to wait much longer.
The DOW is sitting on its 50 dma, but below the 200. QQQ’s are sitting on the 200 dma above the 50. I’m not a chart guy, but we’ll see what happens. Hard to believe we’re done with the correction just yet.
Great weekend to all!
The HUI/Bitcon Ratio …
… has hit the 50% retrace so if PMs are really in a bull market PM stocks should not lose much more ground to bitcon …
It could go to the two thirds retrace considering how stupid people are these days.

Perfect day for the scum…..

Exactly … no emotion … just the law … don’t you dare break the law (we can but you can’t – think Animal Farm).
Law breakers will be terminated … but don’t worry it’s just another movie … you are just watching another movie … this will never affect you … have another glass of tap water (fluoride) … go outside and breath air (heavy metals in chemtrails) … you are just fine.
No really … we will be just fine … the commies (Nazis) are really nice people.
Was this the kind of response (rant) you were looking for because you know I can’t control myself (because I drink too much tap water).

Stupid is as stupid does …

Unbelievable
To look at the share price I guess people were expecting more …

Dollar falling like a rock
No help though as silver is falling with it. Nonsensical, but the scum will take their shots when they can and right now, they seem to be in control. Not for long IMHO, but we’ll see about that.
China is blinking
Came across another article that said that China has quietly absorbed $40 Billion in tariffs on some items to keep the flow going. They have no choice until they can replace the US as their biggest customer. They call it “leverage” in the business world.
These pieces of garbage in Congress better pass all of the tax cuts and add some to the list.
“The US has recently sent messages to China through relevant parties, hoping to start talks with China. China is currently evaluating this.”

Not too friendly for our pm’s, rates are jumping up 7 bips, dollar isn’t following – surprising. PM’s getting the 9 am treatment, with pm shares fading.
Hoping for a flat day, where we can re-group and fight night week.
Our little Oasis has been quiet lately, and no new visitors. Probably a good marker for the interest of the general public for gold and silver these days. They haven’t even noticed. Not surprising with the performance of tech stocks and crypto, but it just makes me wonder what happens if the music stops.
While browsing my YouTube feed, I came across a video headline that said on May 25th they’ll be blacking us out of the internet and I assume that meant the grid as well. I didn’t watch it, but that would be a pretty interesting event.
