The thing is that the current systems do offer some huge opportunities today, and systems in the near future will be able to address specific tasks in a meaningful manner. Of course the challenge is you need a lot of unique training data to make them work.

There are a number of parametric optimization challenges that these tools could be used to address... if you know how to use the ML tools. (Not talking about GPT systems). I can think of a couple things with about 200 to 1,000 parameters to optimize that I would love to have a go at... but way too much work.

Isn't that the difference between AI and AGI? Training for a specific task is a finite effort; chaining tasks together also breaks down task identification and processing. To me at least though general inteligence is about using a complete body of knowledge to process and act on information.

Comment Re:Training data (Score 1) 291

Today I have trouble seeing how there is enough quality training data and processing power to make two orders of magnitude improvement towards aGi. My perception is that AI solutions can not economically learn (train) while doing in the context of a large data set. Until that changes I think we will be a long way off.

Hell he's sitting on 150,000 unsold cars right now...
 

There are ~60,000 "unsold" inventory intended for sale. The rest are cars that are inventory that are part of doing business. Vehicles used for demo rides with over certain mileage cannot be sold as "new" so they never hit P&D reports. Likewise vehicles that are company-owned for purposes other than R&D are not sold. While the number is scary still, it is still lower inventory than legacy manufacturers have via their dealer network.

You have mostly retail investors involved. If the cash invested in DJT was meaningful to them then they are likely to sell if it is pushed low enough. If it is $200 x 1 million people then they are unlikely to sell ever. If the SEC starts an investigation then things get interesting.

Not worth putting money at risk on either side of the bet.

No, this whole scam only took about $200 million to pull off. It is really just the 5 million shares that anybody paid actual money for. ...Which is why it is really stupid to try to play this stock on either end. It only takes $200 million to prop up the value of the stock (until the lock-up period ends in 6 months and the shares are all free for sale). So, for $200 million or so you either tank the stock or maintain its value. If you have two parties on either side of the equation with that money then it becomes a matter of who blinks first. ...But, come 10/15/2024 I doubt the stock will be worth anything.
