AI chatbots confidently recommend outdated Social Security strategies, such as the restricted application, that were eliminated for anyone born after January 2, 1954.
A wrong Social Security filing date locks in a reduced monthly benefit for life, reshaping your tax bracket and survivor benefits for decades.
Verify any claiming decision at ssa.gov or with a fee-only advisor, keeping in mind that chatbots work for general concepts but cannot account for your personal details.
Many financial professionals are salespeople paid on what they push, not whether you end up wealthier. A fiduciary is the opposite. The SEC legally requires them to put your interests first. Advisor.com's free matching tool pairs you with vetted fiduciaries from major national firms, all in under three minutes. See who you match with today.
Picture a 63-year-old widow who still works part-time and is deciding whether to claim Social Security now. She could start a survivor benefit on her late husband's record, wait for her own retirement benefit to grow, or reverse the order if the numbers favor that approach. She asks an AI chatbot. It responds that deemed filing prevents her from claiming only one benefit while delaying the other. The explanation is fluent, detailed, and wrong.

Greenskeeper **** et Management, an independent firm that specializes in disciplined value investing, recently released its Q2 2026 scorecard. A copy is available to download here. After a slow start to the year, the Fund gained 10.9% in the quarter, lifting its year-to-date return to 1.9%. The rebound came as markets showed signs of rotating away from momentum stocks and toward companies supported by reasonable valuations. Please review the Fund's top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Greenskeeper **** et Management highlighted Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) as a leading performance contributor. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), the parent company of Google, offers various platforms and services, including online search and advertising, cloud solutions, and artificial intelligence. On August 03, 2026, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) closed at $372.47 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $4.56 trillion. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) posted a one-month return of 2.43%, while its shares gained 90.70% over the past 52 weeks.
Greenskeeper **** et Management stated the following regarding Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), +23.2%, was our third-best performer in the quarter. After more than two years of market concern that AI chatbots would cannibalize Google's core search business, recent results are proving those fears unfounded. Boosted by AI Overviews and AI mode, Search revenue grew nearly 20% in the most recent quarter. This performance was driven primarily by higher paid-click volume, alongside a modest rise in revenue per click— demonstrating that AI integration is enhancing, rather than displacing, the platform's core value proposition. Alphabet's Cloud division is showing even stronger momentum: its backlog has nearly doubled, while operating margins expanded to 33%, highlighting both robust demand and expanding operating leverage. Meanwhile, management continues to invest heavily in compute infrastructure. With market-leading positions across search, cloud, digital advertising, and AI, we believe Alphabet remains exceptionally well-positioned to earn strong returns on its capex and compound intrinsic value over time."
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) ranks 7th on our list of 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. According to our database, 201 hedge fund portfolios held Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) at the end of the first quarter, compared to 203 in the previous quarter. In 2025, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) achieved its first-ever $400 billion annual revenue and in Q1 2026 its consolidated revenue reached $109.9 billion, up 22% or 19% in constant currency. While we acknowledge the potential of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit s

"I ***** love Foucault. I ***** with Foucault hard," enthused Supriya Ganesh, star of The Pitt, in a recent interview with New York magazine. Ganesh, who uses she/they ***** ouns, never felt comfortable with rigid gender and ***** uality labels, and Foucault's The History of ***** uality, Volume I showed her how these categories have in fact varied across cultures and through history: "I think this idea of defining ***** uality is very new—or at least that's the argument he's making … it really illuminated a lot of that for me."
Ganesh was unwittingly providing fresh evidence for the central argument of The Frenchmen: Or, My Life in Theory, which proposes that a small group of dead twentieth-century intellectuals are "crucial for understanding the world we inhabit today." Written by Emily Eakin, a senior editor at The New York Times Book Review, The Frenchmen focuses on eight French or French-speaking theorists (Louis Althusser, Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Félix Guattari, Jacques Lacan, and Paul de Man) who, she argues, "permanently alter[ed] how we think not only about bedrock philosophical ideas but about the role of language in shaping those beliefs and everything else."
Eakin's Frenchmen are an eclectic group, differing in interests, politics, and methods. Two were practicing psychoanalysts. Most were academics, working in fields including philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, anthropology, history, and comparative literature. They wrote on topics as varied as schizophrenia, prison architecture, photography, Edgar Allan Poe, and (in Barthes's case) their mom. What unites them, according to Eakin, is their emphasis on systems, as opposed to individuals, and their attention to the complex and contradictory ways that language operates. Instead of taking for granted (as the existentialists did) that people are autonomous free agents defined by their choices, they wrote about the ways people and texts are created and constrained by powerful yet unstable structures of knowledge and language—an idea that resonates in our era of inescapable algorithms and artificial intelligence. ("Chatbots frighten us," Eakin writes, "to the degree that they make literal theory's suggestion that thought does not require a human thinker.")
"Deconstruction," an ***** ytical method developed by Derrida, came to define French theory and is at the heart of Eakin's book. She defines it as "a style of reading" that "took apart" a text and left it in pieces, showing how it was undone by its own internal contradictions. A common deconstructive move is to show how the binary terms that a text's argument depends on—for example, speech versus writing—are not actually opposed after all. In classic Derridean fashion, Eakin structures her book around an oft-repeated binary between "theory" and "real life" that she sees as ripe for deconstructing, contrasting the Frenchmen's "stringent antihumanism" with their all-too-human lives; academic t

Concerned about an AI bubble? Sign up for The Daily Upside for smart and actionable market news, built for investors.
We've all heard the saying: If you wouldn't want it splashed across the front page of tomorrow's newspaper (or The Daily Upside newsletter), it's probably best not to say it at all.
The same rule applies when it comes to sharing sensitive estate planning information with general-purpose AI chatbots. It may seem like a harmless exercise to run one's trust-funding strategy or family business succession plans past the likes of Claude or ChatGPT, but doing so can actually subject that information to future discovery if the plan is challenged in court, according to a team of specialist attorneys at ArentFox Schiff. So advisors and their clients should utilize extreme caution when utilizing public generative AI tools as part of the estate planning process, especially in situations where a lot of wealth is at stake or a future estate dispute seems likely.
"It's fraught with risk when we recklessly invite AI into the attorney-advisor-client relationship," said Sarah Kerr Severson, a partner on ArentFox Schiff's private wealth and tax planning team. "There's no attorney-client privilege there. Courts have already confirmed that."

July 23 (Reuters) - SAP's finance chief said on Thursday that artificial intelligence in enterprise software must move beyond chatbots and coding tools into more complex business processes, where clean data, reliability and cost control matter more than access to the most powerful model.
Companies have poured money into generative AI but are still seeking evidence of broad productivity gains, and SAP is arguing that the returns will come less from general-purpose models than from governed systems embedded in specific business processes.
CFO Dominik Asam told reporters after SAP's second-quarter results that the "lion's share" of AI token consumption today was spent in "low-hanging fruits" coding ******* istant and chatbots, where AI's hallucinations matter less because the output carries limited risk if it fails.
But applying AI to finance, supply chain or other core business processes is harder because errors carry over multiple steps, increasing risk against compliance standards, he said.

SK Hynix commands 58% of global HBM revenue, with sales more than doubling year-over-year to fuel a record $33 billion operating profit in FY2025.
The U.S. now generates 65% of SK Hynix's revenue, anchored by a Nvidia partnership that alone contributed 24% of total 2025 sales.
HBM's structural supply shortages provide more pricing durability than typical memory downturns, but heavy Nvidia dependence remains a real concentration risk.
Act now: the ******* yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and SK Hynix didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
The artificial intelligence revolution has transformed the semiconductor landscape in ways few predicted even two years ago. What started as hype around chatbots has become a voracious appetite for data center infrastructure, where memory chips -- especially high-bandwidth memory, or HBM -- serve as the critical bridge between processors and massive datasets.

OpenAI's $100B ad revenue target for 2030 is 20 times eMarketer's forecast for the whole chatbot market, threatening Oracle's $75B in AI-linked commitments.
ChatGPT's AI traffic share dropped from 87% to 65% as Alphabet's Gemini gains ground, making projections of chatbot ad dominance harder to justify.
Don't wait: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
One of the load-bearing **** umptions behind the AI investment story just got a hard sanity check, and the numbers do not add up.
According to research firm eMarketer, OpenAI's advertising business is on pace to miss the company's own five-year revenue forecast by roughly 90%. OpenAI has projected $2.5 billion in OpenAI ad revenue in 2026, growing to $100 billion by 2030. eMarketer's data tells a different story: standalone AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode, and Amazon's Alexa for Shopping combined, will generate less than $1 billion in ad revenue this year, and just $5.41 billion across the entire market by 2030.

This model is expected to develop more advanced AI tools than the chatbots currently in use by the company's competitors, such as Expedia and Booking Holdings. ABNB's latest tool will be heavily focused on customer satisfaction with greater agentic capabilities. It will allow users to compare options more easily by showing detailed photos. The AI tailwind continues to help the company with its growth ambitions. The management was previously asked about the integration of ChatGPT onto the Airbnb website, and CEO Brian Chesky said the available software technology was not capable enough to support the company's plans.

Twilio (NYSE: TWLO) has enjoyed a strong start to the year but now finds itself in a 20% correction. Many companies use Twilio's platform to communicate with customers via text, video, artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, and other capabilities. It's natural for stocks to take breathers after long runs, but a high P/E ratio offers some reason for concern.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Twilio has good fundamentals, but it's hard to justify a stock with a P/E ratio hovering near 300. The company delivered 20% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter. Those sales come from a solid foundation, which includes more than 400,000 customers and 68% of Fortune 500 companies.
However, growth investors aren't concerned only with the current foundation. They want revenue acceleration and enticing long-term growth prospects. If those are good, investors can more easily justify a stock that is trading near a 300 P/E ratio, but that isn't the case for Twilio.
The company anticipates only 15.5% to 16.5% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 and 14% to 15% year-over-year revenue growth in full-year 2026. These aren't exciting numbers, especially when investors can choose from AI stocks that are delivering substantial growth rates well above the 14% to 15% growth rate Twilio expects to deliver throughout the year.

Whether you love or loathe generative AI chatbots, they're becoming increasingly involved in the business of romance.
There's understandable skepticism about the technology's place in dating. Still, a growing number of people are turning to AI as a de facto dating coach or relationship expert. Some use the technology to get guidance on creating a dating app profile, decode messages from potential partners and draft replies or seek general dating advice.
But those inquiries can have varying degrees of success. Understanding how to best harness a chatbot's power and acknowledging its limitations can help.
Here are some tips from experts.
Logan Ury, the director of relationship science at the dating app Hinge, said she understands people's hesitance about AI but however we search for love, "what we're searching for stays the same." Hinge has AI-powered conversation starters and feedback tools to help build users' profiles and make interactions smooth.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) has declined more than 30% year-to-date, but the street expects more than 78.29% upside from the current level. Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) also ranks among our list of Stocks Expected to Bounce Back According to **** ysts.
The stock has mainly declined largely due to mounting pressure from geopolitical risks and domestic regulatory scrutiny. **** ysts remain optimistic on the company's potential, driven by a triple-digit growth in AI-related product revenue in Q4 2026, marking the 11th consecutive quarter of such growth.
Recently, on June 16, Reuters reported that the company revealed its first-ever suite of AI model robots. This move comes as the Chinese AI industry shifts from chatbots to more lucrative AI agent businesses that can do complex tasks and are considered more intelligent machines.
Earlier, on May 14, Benchmark had reiterated a Buy rating and a $220 price target on Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA). The firm cited the company's fiscal Q4 2026 results as its reason for bullishness. Alibaba delivered positive results for three key areas, including AI and cloud, quick commerce, and group-level profitability.

Investing in stocks that have been doing poorly can seem risky. But if those stocks have strong underlying fundamentals, they can turn out to be attractive contrarian investments to buy and hold. Think of it as buying in a bear market. You might be scared to do so as you see stock prices go down, and the temptation is to think they'll keep going down. However, buying at extremely low prices can set you up for significant gains in the future -- as long as the business is in good shape.
Three stocks I think could be enticing contrarian buys today are Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), Chewy (NYSE: CHWY), and Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL). Their share prices haven't been this low in years, and while there is some risk with them these days, here's why they could prove to be excellent buys for the long haul.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Adobe's stock has been struggling mightily, and it's down 66% over the past five years and 48% in just the past 12 months. It's trading at levels it hasn't been at since 2018. Investors are concerned about the company's long-term future. This is, after all, a company whose business centers on creating images, and with chatbots able to do so with ease, there are serious question marks about Adobe's ability to compete in the long run.
However, Adobe has been incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its products as well, making it easy for users to create images and videos with AI. And with Adobe's software, you can also make more precise edits and changes. As anyone who's used chatbots to make images knows, there's not always much consistency from one image to another, and users can quickly burn through credits trying to fine-tune the process. Creating an image with an AI chatbot may be easy, but creating precisely what you want is a whole other story.

Meta is under investigation in Italy for allegedly breaching EU rules by integrating its Meta AI **** istant into WhatsApp without user consent.
The country’s antitrust watchdog said it may impose interim measures on the US tech giant as it widened a probe into whether it abused its dominance by blocking rival AI chatbots from its messaging service WhatsApp.
