From Jan–July 2025, U.S. musical instrument exports are 8.4% below the 2021–24 avg.

Brazil (-28%), China (-27%), Italy (-23%), and Canada (-12%) saw sharpest Y-o-Y drops.

Why?
NOT retaliation (ex-China)

- Higher input costs
- Global economic uncertainty
- Consumer substitution away from brands

Notable that AI tools could not even generate accurate meeting summaries beyond “a couple hundred words.” That’s useless for minutes.

And for lit review they *completely* shit the bed.

But these aren’t people’s favorite tasks & AI is way quicker, so many will keep using them, truth be damned.

Some tools were sufficient for summarizing meetings. For research, the results were a disaster.

No, he’s not giving Putin Alaska, but he is giving Putin a huge gift: the legitimacy of touching down on US soil at the invitation of a US president. A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.
