artificial intelligence

 Like cryptocurrencies, the financial market has been trying for years to integrate AI. Yesterday, I had a meeting with my broker in London.  we do this twice a year. Especially now that I have a new broker, my old one having retired about 18 months ago. My new broker, is a 37-year-old woman Sandra, who knows more about financial product than I will ever remember. She’s fully aware that I was a strategist in the same company for quarter of a century and so her five brokers, and three strategies signed me down a room and showed me the first results of AI in finance. 

I have to be honest, so far I’m not very impressed. Granted these are early days, and companies can’t afford to make a mistake with AI. Was it quite amusing to force an AI system to sprout pro Nazi sentences, it’s another thing for it to propose an investment in a company that is actually bankrupt.

The key here is for AI to separate the wheat from the Jeff. So far it’s not doing great. It gets the basics right, but that’s not very important. Sure, it can be good at detected, undervalued markets, but again everything has to be checked twice if not, three times. And so far, AI have been spectacular in there, dismal ability to help in for an exchange markets. That’s not me speaking, that’s the traders.

I put this as a question. So far AI have been apparently deployed mostly as a superior tool for companies to manage complaints, or questions from their customers. I saw a report recently. I was rather amusing, that there were a lot of early adopters of AI, but they’re spending on the technology with peanuts. It raises a question, who finances all this. The chips needed to make AI function are some of the most expensive in the world. And you need more than one or two.

so my perception, is that despite all the talk of AI, we’re still far from being in a ready for prime time situation. Very much like bitcoins and their likes, in 2014, they were still a decade away from being semi respectable. I’m still convinced, that bitcoins are a figment of our imagination. But then, to an extent, so is gold.

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
