Looking at these US tech stocks today, it's really a bit unbearable. IBM's earnings were impressive and it even secured a major defense contract, standing out alone. However, automation and AI-related stocks like PATH, NOW, and ADBE all plunged across the board. The market made a flurry of moves that looked fierce, but ended up falling this much. AI directly became a major weapon, turning back on its own side. INTU couldn't hold up either, even with its partnership with Affirm, it still fell. In the AI era, are the old kings going to cry? Or is it just another round of the market's game of chicken? Those holding positions can only laugh at themselves, have a sip of tea, and be more zen about it.
