LLMs can extract data and visualize trends but fail at financial forecasting and nuanced analysis. Productivity boosters maybe, not financial analyst replacements. #AI #Finance https://www.ft.com/content/893c2e34-fcd4-4988-b03c-47c6c69f4256

Yeah, this is nuts. Is it peak bubble? Not even close. We can do a lot worse. #AI #AIBubble https://www.wsj.com/business/openai-oracle-sign-300-billion-computing-deal-among-biggest-in-history-ff27c8fe
