Trusted Securities Advisor ChatGPT

Trusted securities advisor ChatGPT says this is what we’ll hear from the Federal Reserve in their next statement (Note that ChatGPT has no information past September 2021): At the Federal Reserve, we are deeply concerned about the current banking liquidity crisis. We understand the challenges faced by financial institutions in managing their liquidity risk in the current environment of heightened uncertainty and volatility. To address this crisis, we are taking several measures to support the liquidity needs of banks and ensure the stability of the financial system.

Quote from Finite and Infinite Games which struck as wisdom and stuck with me since:

Spent the day hanging with ChatGPT; what an amiable, well informed idiot.


Corporations are people, and therefore need to feel very bad things when they break the law, so they will remember, and won’t break the law again. Where does the corporation feel things? In its head of course. Responsibility lies here too, poetically. So take the top three layers, just to be sure.BTW, this is exactly the kind of bullshit I was talking about back here.


What Do They Know

I guess we really shouldn’t be too surprised that main stream journalism kinda got it wrong with the new AI marketing storm. This happens all the time but it is easy to miss.

Whenever some domain of specialized knowledge rises up in the public consciousness, and when it is one you happen to be well acquainted with—not an expert necessarily but certainly more than proficient—when you then read an article or hear a news story on the domain, inevitably you have opportunity to say to yourself “Well, that’s kind of a half-truth, or Hmm, seems an over-simplification…”

That isn’t just you. We all do that all the time. I wouldn’t call that a carburetor. You shouldn’t add salt after it cools. IP addresses can’t work that way. M1 isn’t M2. And so on.
