Gamifying day trading is just turning the retail market into gambling. Obvious objections will be that this has been possible for a long time now. But never did I know young men to casually play the market day to day like Wall Street Bets do now the way they would follow sports in the past.
Exploring unsophisticated investors. Trading on margin used to be for extremely experienced and educated people working for a large financial institution. The risk of margin trading is extreme with unlimited losses.
“…the only workable future to me seems like forcing agents/robots to be tied to humans.”
This is what I’ve been thinking lately as well. Couple that with legal responsibility for any repercussions, and you might have a way society can thrive alongside AI and robotics.
I think any AI or robotic system acting upon the world in some way (even LLM chatbots) should require a human “co-signer” who takes legal responsibility for anything the system does, as if they had performed the action themselves.
Bullshit tasks are the modern TPS reports. Tasks that create no real value to anyone, but are necessary because management likes to think it is progress.
There's a number of "robotics and embodied AI" ETFs out there that should show up with a quick search. I don't have an opinion as to their quality so you'd have to do your own research.
I’ve been daydreaming lately about what the fundamental limits of “intelligence” could be, something like the concept of computability but for AI, or even biological brains.
Though I will say, surely the existence of the human brain (which by definition is general intelligence), suggests that creating AGI is fundamentally possible?
Sure, it's possible - as you say, we have an existence proof. We don't know how to do it any other way, though. None of the people who claim that they or somebody else is on the trail has produced any evidence that they are correct.
What evidence did we have that LLMs would be such transformative techs before they were suddenly introduced, and have such surprising behaviors? Not sure we need to always be looking for evidence for potentially surprising and disruptive tech
They can "feel it", like people "felt" we'd have commercial space flight "soon" after we put people on the moon, it's all delusion and wishful thinking.
It's worse than that, really, because there was at least a fairly obvious _path_ there, even if the economics were, to say the least, shaky. For AGI... not so much.
Yeah, if energy continued to get exponentially more plentiful like it used to then a casual trip to the moon or flying cars today wouldn't have been out of the question.
People imagined a future where everyone had their own personal fusion reactor to power their devices with infinite energy, that world didn't happen but the exponential rate energy technologies used to develop in made that seem feasible.
It's not an energy question, for the moon it's a "why the fuck would we even do this" question and for flying car it's a thing about bald monkeys being on average quite stupid and not responsible.
