Happy hump day, readers. I'm senior reporter Phil Rosen.
If the collapse of FTX has been the headline story over the last several months, it certainly feels like ChatGPT has taken the mantle for the near future.
Good morning! It's Kaja Whitehouse signing in from New York City, where you can still find hotels that hand out loose sheets of toilet paper at check in. I'm filling in for Dan DeFrancesco, who will be back later this week.
Today I drove through the suburbs, reader. After weeks of unpleasant hot girl walks on highways and under freeways in my new hometown of San Diego, I finally got a car.
Good morning, team. I'm your host, Phil Rosen.
Welcome back! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC. Lots of good responses to my callout for guesses on what Sam Bankman-Fried's code word is for his attack dog. Two of my favorites: crypto (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) and conquistador (it was a crypto empire, after all).
It's Monday, reader. I want more time outside playing pickleball and California Dreamin' (it's an Asian song btw. iykyk). I miss my South Brooklyn pickleball community, but hope to find a consistent place to play in San Diego.
Welcome back, readers — Phil Rosen here. On this day 54 years ago, the Beatles played their last-ever gig on a rooftop in London.
And just the same, today marks my last Monday writing to you from California this winter.

Now — into the housing market we go.

It's the weekend, reader! I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I have soooo many chores to do. One of them includes looking at my finances — moving is expensive. You know what else is sneaky expensive? All those subscriptions like Microsoft OneDrive and Adobe Creative Suite, which add up quick.
It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and I'm wracking my brain wondering what Sam Bankman-Fried's secret code word is for his attack dog.
