Goldman data show tech stocks have lost most of their valuation premium even as earnings forecasts and insider buying rise, while AI models and proxy advisors increasingly side with activists over management. Surveys reveal quantifiable AI gains climbing across sectors, and long-term charts highlight a 94% drop in global oil intensity despite recent supply disruptions.

• Tech stocks' valuation premium has collapsed toward 2018 levels even as 2026 earnings growth forecasts jumped from 31% to 43.4% since January, and insider buying in XLK-tracked firms hit a 15-year high.
• AI models back activist investors in proxy fights ~45% of the time (vs. 36-42% for ISS/Glass Lewis), but actual shareholder votes favor activists only 14% of the time, largely due to the Big Three asset managers' voting power.
• 37% of surveyed companies now report measurable AI benefits, up 23% quarter-over-quarter, with financial services, real estate and tech showing the sharpest gains.

The article discusses how San Francisco's tech social scene is now dominated by people who are "terminally online." It explores how relationships and trust are formed through mutual connections on platforms like X, shifting the dynamics of in-person events and interactions.

• Social access in SF's tech scene now runs through mutual connections on X rather than traditional networking events or introductions.
• Event invites increasingly flow through private group chats and platforms like Partiful, favoring those who are already plugged in online.
• Because attendees already know each other's online personas beforehand, in-person gatherings (often in living rooms, not venues) skip small talk and alcohol-driven icebreakers for direct, substantive conversation.
• The New Media Fellowship exemplifies this model, using an X group chat instead of nametags/icebreakers to build rapport before meeting face-to-face, raising the question of whether this "terminally online" social structure will spread beyond SF.
