PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP. 🙏🏽
My name is Emmanuela Amen Eze, a Nigerian international student at Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA.
I am humbly appealing for financial assistance after losing my PhD research advisor and graduate funding.

The French will be left with 2 choices: the devil we know or the angel we don’t know.
Unless a coalition sprouts between the left wing blocs and a concrete political agenda is brought up that address the problems we face today..
But knowing Glucksman he hates Melonchon’s agenda
France 2027: no real candidate with balls. Mélenchon’s plans are unrealistic—just populism fueling his agenda. Attal/Philippe will be the same Macron wave. Bardella/Le Pen are incompetent with no governance track record or concrete leadership; they might lead the nation down the drain like Trump 2.0.

SOFTBANK PLUNGES 59% AS DEBT-FUELED AI BETS UNRAVEL
SoftBank shares fell another 10.8% Friday, extending losses to 59% since early June.
The company added $40.4 billion in debt over 12 months to fund AI investments, including $64 billion in OpenAI.
Meanwhile, Arm shares have plunged 51% since June 30, weakening SoftBank's asset backing as credit-default swaps rise and bond prices fall.
SoftBank's reported leverage was 13%, below its self-imposed 25% limit, suggesting a substantial remaining cushion.

Figma CFO Praveer Melwani says AI makes a financial model easy to build, so his hiring case study tests whether you still did the thinking:
"Right now I'm hiring for a VP of finance. And the case study part of the process for me is so, so sacred. I wanna both test for, how are you using the tools available to you... but how you actually piece those puzzle pieces together in a way that actually makes sense."
"Have you really, really understood the structure that you've created?... Do you have a strong intuition on how the business is actually working using the tool that you've created? Can you effectively communicate that?"
"Anyone can go and create like a model. Pick your favorite LLM. You can go and do that really, really easily. But are you using it as an effective tool that actually is enabling you to think?"
"You don't wanna outsource your thinking today. I think you wanna use AI as a tool to help you and empower you. But it's really, really critical to still be that thinker."

Figma CFO Praveer Melwani used to spend his days writing hundreds of lines of SQL just to get one set of numbers everyone trusted. Now his finance team builds its own AI tools to do that work.
He sees the CFO's job shifting from traffic cop to business enabler, as long as the people doing the building still own their thinking.
Praveer joins a16z's Seema Amble and Ivan Makarov, authors of "You Need a New CFO," to discuss the growth-stage finance team that built 40 to 50 agents in a month or two, what breaks when every rep vibe codes their own dashboard, and how finance went from sitting out hackathons to winning them.

** IMMINENT STOCK MARKET CRASH OCTOBER 26, 2026-NOVEMBER 9, 2026 **
I am writing this message to give a detailed analysis, as to what I believe will be happening starting Monday October 26, 2026, and the main event to take place the following Monday November 2-3, 2026, with the bottom of the crash coming on November 9. I also want to explain what I believe the Federal Reserve is going to do as a means of trying to fix the crisis, and how it is going to lead to the end of the U.S dollar, bringing about a sovereign debt and currency crisis. This crisis will be the main focal point and issue that the Democratic Party is going to run on in the 26' midterms and the 28' elections, undermining the Republican Party and Donald Trump's populism, and eventually using it to try to usher in Communism, via a World Economic Forum/Black Rock policy and vision.

BREAKING: A mystery seller is trying to dump about $500 million in data center loans all at once, per Bloomberg, days after the midterms raised doubts about many projects.
The anonymous seller is auctioning a dozen loans, including a $25 million piece of financing for a huge Stargate site in New Mexico, the joint project of OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle.
Oracle has already sent that site’s developer a force majeure notice, a legal claim that events beyond its control may excuse it from its obligations.
