They measured the investment facility of all those LLMs. That's pretty much what the title says. And they had dramatically different outcomes. So that tells me something.

They "proved" that US tech stocks did better than portfolios with less US tech stocks over a recent, very short time range. 1. You didn't know that? 2. Whata re you going to do with this "new information"?

  • As a stock-trading exercise? Nothing, as you note. As an AI investigation it says plenty. Which is the point I was making (and got missed by all those stock-trading self-appointed experts who fastened onto that)

I mean, what it kinda tells me is that people talk about tech stocks the most, so that's what was most prevalent in the training data, so that's what most of the LLMs said to invest in. That's the kind of strategy that works until it really doesn't.

  • Cue 2020 or so. I do have investments in tech stocks but I have a lot more conservative investments too.

It shows nothing. This is a bullshit stunt that should be obvious to anyone who has placed a few trades.

  • Unless you think of it as an AI exercise, not a stock trading exercise. Which point evaded most people.
