ChatGPT Is Basically TikTok for Gen Z, Storage Stocks Print Cash, and Humanity Stays Petty

Turns out Gen Z is spamming ChatGPT like it’s their new TikTok, AI storage stocks are cash machines on steroids, and humans? Still delightfully destructive as always. Who needs progress when chaos pays so well?

Hey ScorpA\rents!

Some weeks it feels like the headlines were written by a caffeine-fueled screenwriter. ChatGPT is basically TikTok for Gen Z, storage stocks are suddenly printing cash like they own the Fed’s money machine, and humanity? Still as gloriously petty and destructive as ever — because of course we are.

And while Wall Street’s trying to decode whether this is brilliance or chaos in disguise, you don’t have to sit on the sidelines. That’s where our sponsors come in: Adquick, making it easier than ever to run IRL ads like PPC clicks, and Elite Trade Club, your chance to catch the market’s next big moves before they sprint away.

🔎 TL;DR

1) STING OF GROW: AI HUSTLES

  • OpenAI dropped a 64-page

    know what you’re doing” report showing Gen Z can’t stop chatting with ChatGPT — half the messages come from under-26s, while the rest of us pretend it’s for “work.”

2) STING OF WEALTH: INVESTING

  • Storage stocks
    They are mooning because AI needs somewhere to dump its endless data. Translation: hard drives are suddenly sexy again, and Wall Street is pretending this is genius foresight instead of dumb luck.

3) STING OF SUCCESS: MILLIONAIRE MINDSET

  • And on the human side? Erich Fromm reminds us we’re not born cruel — we just manufacture our own destruction through passion, envy, and systems that profit from it. Comforting, isn’t it?

Key Insights from OpenAI’s ChatGPT Report

Who’s Really Talking to ChatGPT?

OpenAI just dropped its biggest study yet on how people are using ChatGPT. The 64-page report analyzed 1.5 million messages from 130,000 users. The findings? They flip a few assumptions on their head.

Women Now Lead the Way

When ChatGPT launched in 2022, most users were men—about 80%. Fast-forward to 2025, and women now make up a slight majority at 52%. Women lean toward using it for writing and practical guidance, while men still dominate technical questions and multimedia uses.

Young Users Dominate the Chats

Nearly half of all ChatGPT messages came from users under 26. Those aged 18–25 accounted for 46% of the total. But here’s the twist: only about 22% of their messages were work-related, compared to 31% for users aged 36–45.

Advice > Action

Most people aren’t using ChatGPT to “do” tasks—they’re asking it for advice. About 49% of messages were classified as “asking,” while 40% were “doing” (drafting, data work, etc.), and 11% were pure “expression.” For work-related users, the ratio flips—56% of messages were task-oriented.

The Bigger Picture for Hustlers

For side hustlers and working parents, this shows ChatGPT isn’t just a task bot—it’s a thinking partner. The edge isn’t only in automation but in using it to brainstorm, plan, and sharpen decisions. It’s not about replacing your brain—it’s about extending it.

ScorpA\rents's Quick Strike

  • Women now slightly outnumber men on ChatGPT (52% vs. 48%).

  • Nearly half of all users are under 26, but older groups use it more for work.

  • 49% of chats are for advice, not tasks—think “assistant,” not just “doer.”

  • Work-related users rely more on ChatGPT for execution (56% of messages).

  • Use ChatGPT to guide, not just grind—your smartest partner might be digital.

AI Boom Driving Storage Stocks Upwards

From Dusty Drives to Billion-Dollar Booms

Remember when storage stocks were boring, slow movers? Not anymore. With AI workloads piling up, HDD and SSD makers are suddenly the market’s hottest names.

Triple-Digit Gains Everywhere

SanDisk is up 157% this year, Western Digital 128%, and Seagate 148%. The spark? AI’s insatiable hunger for data storage is squeezing supply and driving up prices. Vendors are already hiking rates, with SanDisk leading a 10% price bump.

From “Story” to “Orders”

This isn’t just hype—it’s real demand. Enterprise SSD revenue jumped 12.7% last quarter as cloud providers ramp up for NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform. For the first time in years, suppliers have pricing power, and forecasts show contract prices climbing 5–10% quarter over quarter.

The Inference Era Is Here

Training got the spotlight, but inference (actually running AI models) is where storage demand is exploding. Think high-capacity SSDs and DRAM as the backbone of this phase. Micron, about to report earnings, has already raised its guidance thanks to this demand wave.

Wealth in the Wires

As parents and hustlers, here’s the takeaway: storage is no longer a sleepy sector—it’s where AI’s money is flowing. Supply is tight, demand is unrelenting, and pure-play stocks like SanDisk are positioned to soar faster. Even if smartphones wobble, AI is the engine powering this rally.

ScorpA\rents’s Bite of Wealth

  • Storage giants like SanDisk, WDC, and Seagate are up triple digits in 2025.

  • AI demand is moving storage from “narrative” to real revenue.

  • Inference workloads = huge SSD and DRAM needs.

  • Micron earnings will be the next big test.

  • For investors: storage may be AI’s hidden goldmine.

Uncover the Truth Behind Our Aggression

Are We Born to Destroy?

Ever wondered if cruelty is something humans are born with, or if society wires it into us? Erich Fromm digs deep into this uncomfortable truth. Spoiler: it’s not as simple as “killer instincts.”

Aggression Isn’t All the Same

Fromm explains that humans carry two forms of aggression: benign (defensive, survival-driven) and malignant (cruelty, destruction for its own sake). Unlike animals, we don’t just fight for food or survival—we let envy, ambition, and hatred fuel behaviors that go way beyond instinct.

Sharpen Your Edge – Passion vs. Instinct

Here’s the kicker: human destructiveness isn’t instinctual at all. It’s rooted in our passions—the same forces that drive love, creativity, and ambition can also warp into cruelty. Both behaviorists and instinctivists miss the point when they reduce humans to machines responding to environment or biology.

Next Moves – Recognize the Triggers

Fromm pushes us to see that unfulfilled passions and societal pressures are what turn aggression malignant. That means if you want to protect yourself (and your kids) from destructiveness, it’s about cultivating purpose, love, and meaning—not just “controlling instincts.”

For Parents, Hustlers, and Builders

Why should you care? Because the same forces that drive progress can also drive destruction in your home, your workplace, or your hustle. Knowing the difference between instinct and passion helps you channel energy into creation, not chaos—and that’s the real wealth multiplier.

ScorpA\rents’s Strike of Success

  • Aggression comes in two forms: survival-driven and destructive-for-its-own-sake.

  • Human destructiveness is passion-based, not instinctual.

  • Society plays a huge role in shaping cruelty.

  • Fulfillment and meaning redirect destructive energy into creativity.

  • To build wealth and resilience, learn to master passion, not just behavior.
