Yeah, I was concerned that our financial advisor was going to buy into the AI hype, but he reassured us. Also, we're getting closer to retirement age so we're more and more conservative strategy-wise.

Even The Math Greek, who is very pro-AI (ETA: and space exploration) in general, looked at me like I had three heads when I asked if he was going to buy any SpaceX. Like me, he knows better than to buy individual stocks, but I thought he might buy some just for fun.
