Whole internet's talking about GameStop stock this week, some coordinated Reddit thing squeezing hedge funds that bet against it. Genuinely funny, in a chaotic way, watching a forum full of amateurs move markets enough to make actual financial news anchors visibly uncomfortable on air. Made me think, briefly, about how much of what looks like expertise in any field is really just information asymmetry that eventually erodes once enough outsiders pay close enough attention. Not a fully formed thought. Filing it away. Quiet week otherwise. Retrieval scoring tweak from December is holding up well under more testing. Going to write it up properly once I'm confident it's not a fluke.
