Howard Marks says he used AI tool Perplexity to help write his latest memo
Howard Marks says he enlisted Perplexity, an AI tool, to help write his latest memo. It laid out how he thinks regulations have distorted California's fire insurance market, reducing coverage. Marks still included colorful commentary from himself and wisdom from Warren Buffett. Howard Marks' memos are considered must-reads by many in the financial world, including Warren Buffett. Perplexity, an AI-powered search engine, helped write a chunk of his latest missive. Marks, the billionaire co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, has been writing memos for 35 years and turns 80 next year. That makes it perhaps a little surprising that he's drafted in a machine as a contributor. "In a sign of the times, I'll let my new (and AI-powered) editorial assistant, Perplexity, fill you in on the background," Marks said in a Wednesday memo titled "More on Repealing the Laws of Economics." The veteran fund manager said he hadn't "changed a word" of Perplexity's output, which was "pretty close to what I would have produced in an hour or two." In support of his argument for free-market economics and less government intervention, Marks roped in the AI tool to lay out his view that regulations have distorted the fire insurance sector in California, resulting in widespread underinsurance. "As Perplexity notes, insurers were told they couldn't price fire policies to reflect increases in the frequency and severity of forest fires," Marks said. "Likewise, they couldn't raise prices to pass through the higher premiums their reinsurers were charging based on the increased frequency and severity." The distressed-debt investor asked whether a hypothetical insurer would cover a $5 million house with a 1% chance of burning down if the regulator only allowed it to charge $25,000 a year for a policy. "I didn't need Perplexity to tell me the insurance company faces an expected payout of $50,000 on that policy," Marks said. "The answer's simple: you don't write that policy." AI tools are divisive. Proponents hail them as productivity boosters that will free workers from mundane tasks and supercharge economic growth. Critics fear they'll stymie learning and development, erode skills, and destroy so many jobs that they cause mass unemployment. Marks may have embraced AI but he still finds value in human wisdom. In his new memo, he quoted Buffett saying the US fiscal deficit was "unsustainable" and could become "uncontrollable" during Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in May. The Wall Street legend also included his own colourful, incisive comments: "The behavior in Washington with regard to both the fiscal deficit and the precariousness of Social Security remind me of the tale of the guy who jumped off the 20-story building. As he passed the 10th floor, he said, 'so far, so good.'" Marks may be in his golden years and as skeptical of high-flying assets as ever, yet seems open-minded about innovations. For example, he went from dismissing bitcoin as "not real" in 2017, to trumpeting its privacy and convenience in 2021 after learning about cryptocurrencies from his son. He's clearly finding uses for AI too.

Is ‘Industry' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 21, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated June 21, 2025, 14:37 IST HBO's Industry is a wild ride through the high-stakes, cutthroat world of finance, and after Season 3's jaw-dropping finale in September 2024, fans are buzzing with one big question: Is Industry Season 4 on the way? Let's dig into the renewal status and when we might see it, and what's next for our favourite scheming bankers. Has Industry Season 4 Been Greenlit? Good news, folks— Industry Season 4 is a go! HBO gave the thumbs-up on September 19, 2024, just before Season 3 wrapped. The show's been killing it, pulling in 1.6 million viewers per episode and a 40% jump in ratings from Season 2. HBO's bigwig Francesca Orsi called it a 'marquee drama' that nails the messy mix of ambition and class. Creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay are pumped, promising to crank things up a notch. So, yeah, we're getting more of this addictive chaos. Industry Season 4 Potential Release Date No exact premiere date yet, but let's do some quick math based on the show's track record. Season 1 hit screens in November 2020, Season 2 in August 2022, and Season 3 in August 2024—roughly a two-year gap each time. If that holds, we're looking at 2026, maybe August or November. Filming kicked off in the UK in March 2025, which lines up with that timeline. That said, past seasons got delayed by strikes, like the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA mess, so there's a chance it could shift a bit. I'll keep my ear to the ground for updates. What Will Industry Season 4 Be About? Season 3 ended with a bombshell: Pierpoint & Co. got sold to an Egyptian firm, Al-Miraj Pierpoint, and its London office is toast. That's sent our main characters scrambling. Harper's eyeing a big move to New York, pitching a high-risk short-only fund with Otto Mostyn—could we see the Big Apple as a new backdrop? Yasmin's engagement to Henry Muck feels more like a chess move than a love story, setting her up to navigate London's elite while dodging her dad's legal mess. Eric's sitting on a fat payout but no clear path forward, and Rishi's life is a wreck after his wife's death. Mickey Down and Konrad Kay have dropped hints about leaning into a corporate thriller vibe, maybe channeling Michael Clayton . They're doubling down on themes of money, power, and class. While London's gritty finance scene is the show's heart, Harper's New York tease has fans wondering if we'll split time across the pond. Down insists London's vibe is non-negotiable, so expect that to stay central. Reddit's buzzing with theories—some think we'll see UK politics, like Labour's rise or a far-right twist, or maybe new characters riffing on real-life figures like Elizabeth Holmes. For now, though, the plot's locked tight. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

The project is being developed under a Joint Development Agreement and has a total built-up potential of about 2.2 million square feet. Brigade Morgan Heights is being positioned as a sustainable, nature-friendly space. The community features solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and organic waste processing systems.
