Seth R Freeman on DeepSeek, Trump tariffs & other threats to market
Seth R Freeman of GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group, says yesterday showed some reaction to serious worries about Trump's tariff plans. It's still not clear which tariffs will be put in place immediately. He isn't starting them with China just yet. Instead, he is using the threat of tariffs to pressure Colombia into taking back Colombian migrants. There were issues with copper prices.

What does it mean for you? Were you able to get something which is better than ChatGTP? Seth R Freeman: Well, I was a little too busy today, but it is amazing how it is roiling the markets. Last night, my wife and I were visiting a friend who lives in Mountain View and it struck me, listening to your conversation today.

Even on a Sunday evening, it was just packed with tech workers, many of whom for sure have been working on AI projects all day long.

Macondo: The fictional town that lives on in real places like Aracataca, Antigua, and Malgudi
Macondo doesn't exist. With the 2024 OTT TV series adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude capturing audiences globally, the hunt is on once more though. Even though the novel came to the author like a fever dream spent in seclusion in Mexico, Garcia Marquez hails from the (real) Colombian town of Aracataca. The locals are convinced that Macondo is based on it, even though much to their chagrin, none of them were cast in the Colombian production. The OTT platform company spent days in the town looking for inspiration and scouting potential. Aracataca doesn't feature in the series. Neither does any other known town. It's all fiction. A few years ago, we headed to our 'Macondo' — the river-facing Colombian town of Santa Cruz de Mompox. On a Garcia Marquez-inspired journey, we had taken the night bus from Bucaramanga reaching Mompox in the morning. We found the town asleep. The intense mugginess hit us almost immediately as we exited the airconditioned bus. And so did the town's infamous mosquitoes.
