Revelations 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

  • Buffett said he was not surprised that the US has been facing a string of bank failures recently, given how complex the banking sector has become, and the “dumb” decisions made by some bankers.

  • Buffett also warned that bank runs are becoming easier in the modern world thanks to technology, with the speed at which information travels and the opportunity to withdraw deposits virtually meaning that nowadays, “you could have a run in a few seconds.”
  • Buffett also offered a grim warning about the rise of artificial intelligence capable of replacing human beings in many roles, comparing the technology to the atomic bomb and saying it cannot be “un-invented.”
