Artificial-intelligence tools increasingly allow political actors to fool voters — and help candidates cast doubt on reality.
I get cautious when an artificial intelligence (AI) stock asks investors to pay today for profits that may not show up for years. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the dominant player in AI hardware for some time, but its stock still deserves a closer look even after gaining more than 360% over the past three years (as of Sept. 2, 2026). Is Nvidia stock now priced for distant hopes, or is it one of the tech sector’s rare exceptions? Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.

Weekly Newsletter John Galliano pulls out of a show at The Met, the eternal bond between Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, and Alex Katz keeps it moving at 99. Scrolling on Instagram, I stumble upon a clip of a 25-year-old guy from Chicago walking by the water after finishing work at his finance job.
