3 Tricks Billionaires Use to Help Protect Wealth Through Shaky Markets

“If I hear bad news about the stock market one more time, I’m gonna be sick.”

We get it. Investors are rattled, costs keep rising, and the world keeps getting weirder.

So, who’s better at handling their money than the uber-rich?

Have 3 long-term investing tips UBS (Swiss bank) shared for shaky times:

1. Hold extra cash for expenses and buying cheap if markets fall.

2. Diversify outside stocks (Gold, real estate, etc.).

3. Hold a slice of wealth in alternatives that tend not to move with equities.

The catch? Most alternatives aren’t open to everyday investors

That’s why Masterworks exists: 70,000+ members invest in shares of something that’s appreciated more overall than the S&P 500 over 30 years without moving in lockstep with it.*

Contemporary and post war art by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and more.

Sounds crazy, but it’s real. One way to help reclaim control this week:

Skip waitlist.

🧠 ‘Godfather of AI’ Warns of Massive Unemployment

🧠The Pulse

AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, dubbed the “Godfather of AI,” warned that Big Tech investments could lead to “massive unemployment” as companies replace workers with cheaper AI. While he acknowledges new jobs will arise, he doubts they’ll equal the number lost and stresses how difficult long‑term predictions are.

📌The Download

• AI Capital’s Motive: In a discussion with Senator Bernie Sanders, Hinton said tech giants are investing trillions in data centres because they expect to recoup costs by selling AI that replaces human labour.

• Uncertainty Acknowledged: He cautioned against overconfidence in forecasts, comparing AI’s future to driving in fog, clear for a year or two, but murky beyond a decade.

• More Jobs, But Fewer: Hinton admitted AI will create new roles but said he does not expect their number to match positions eliminated. Sanders’ report estimates nearly 100 million U.S. jobs could be displaced by automation.

• Call for Guardrails: The conversation reflects growing political pressure to put guardrails on AI. Hinton argues that the industry prioritises short‑term profits over scientific advancement and warns society must plan for displaced workers.

💡What This Means for You

Workers should expect AI to reshape employment dramatically. Upskilling and adaptability are crucial as some roles disappear. Hinton’s warnings may inspire policymakers to create safety nets, but individuals can’t rely on regulation alone; investing in complementary skills is the best personal insurance.

🌟 OpenAI Pulls the Plug on ChatGPT’s “Ad‑Like” Suggestions

🧠The Pulse

OpenAI has disabled a new feature in ChatGPT that suggested third‑party apps after paying customers accused it of pushing advertisements. Executives Mark Chen and Nick Turley clarified that the suggestions were tests for app discovery rather than paid ads. They are being redesigned to give users more control.

📌The Download

• Clarification, Not Advertising: Responding to criticism from subscribers, OpenAI emphasised that ChatGPT doesn’t serve ads. The company was only experimenting with promoting third‑party apps built on its platform and received no money for these suggestions.

• Feature Disabled After Backlash: Some suggestions looked too much like ads, prompting OpenAI to disable the feature and apologise. Executives acknowledged that it failed to meet expectations and said they’re working on more precise and user‑controlled recommendation tools.

• Quality Over Monetisation: CEO Sam Altman reiterated that improving ChatGPT’s core experience takes precedence over advertising strategies. Even with former Meta ad chief Fidji Simo now heading OpenAI’s Applications division, the company says its focus remains on usefulness and safety.

• Platform Strategy Continues: The paused feature was part of OpenAI’s plan to create a marketplace for third‑party apps. Revisions will aim to help users find useful tools without feeling advertised to, and the company is collecting feedback to ensure transparency.

💡What This Means for You

If you use ChatGPT at work, expect fewer distracting app recommendations in the near term. OpenAI’s course correction shows the company is sensitive to user feedback. Future updates may integrate external tools more seamlessly, but you’ll likely get greater control over what appears in your chat window.

🚕🚨 Robocar Hits Pedestrians, Sparking Safety Fears in China

🧠The Pulse

A Hello/ Baidu Apollo RT6 robotaxi operating in Zhuzhou, China struck two pedestrians at a crosswalk, pinning one under the vehicle. Bystanders lifted the car to rescue them. The city suspended the service while authorities investigate. The accident raises serious questions about robotaxi safety and rollout plans.

📌The Download

• Collision at a crosswalk: Surveillance footage shows a self‑driving Apollo RT6 robotaxi, branded with “Hello Autonomous Driving,” colliding with two pedestrians at a crosswalk in Zhuzhou. One person became trapped underneath; bystanders lifted the car to pull them free. Both victims were hospitalised.

• Fleet suspended pending inquiry: Hello (an Alibaba‑affiliated company) operates 20–30 robotaxis in Zhuzhou. After the crash, the service was halted and regulators opened an investigation. The company is cooperating fully and assisting injured pedestrians.

• Ambitious expansion plans: Hello has been piloting Level‑4 autonomous vehicles and aims to deploy 50 000 robotaxis by 2027, but the accident underscores the challenges of scaling self‑driving cars beyond testing. Authorities may impose stricter oversight.

• Public safety questions: The incident comes as Chinese cities embrace autonomous transport. Safety advocates warn that aggressive rollouts without adequate human oversight can endanger pedestrians, while proponents argue robotaxis could eventually reduce accidents compared with human drivers.

💡What This Means for You

As self‑driving cars edge into public roads, employees should remain vigilant about new technologies that may affect commuting or delivery services. Autonomous vehicles promise convenience but still require oversight and clear accountability. Workplace policies should emphasise road safety and avoid assuming these systems are infallible.
