I asked a question, you moron.

"Noticed how your HN submission is greyed out because of all the downvotes?"
Downvotes mean nothing on HN, alas.
Factual statements are downvoted because some people don't like the facts quoted. And, worse, mods find that okay.
It makes HN a worse place for serious discussion and for finding out the facts about an issue, because what is discussed is driven by lazy, stupid people's sentiments.

Shorting is not as easy as you think. You have to time it right and you risk big losses.
KNOWING OpenAI et al WILL fail is not enough to make money from that.

"Landing a rocket again nobody had thought it impossible."
Erm, ESA thought it was a dream:
"Twenty years ago, before SpaceX had launched a single rocket, Richard Bowles, a sales director of the European Arianespace launch consortium, said SpaceX’s ambition to launch, recover and reuse rockets, cutting the price of launches in half, was a dream.
‘SpaceX primarily sems to be selling a dream. Which is good, we should all dream,’ he said. ‘I think reusability is a dream… How am I going to respond to a dream?… First of all you don’t wake people up. They have to wake up on their own… They’re not supermen. Whatever they can do, we can do.’"

Books like this are for tech bros what horoscopes are for sad old ladies.
They are full of platitudes that sound relevant to people's problems and desires, that pretend to be based on science but have no actual basis in facts, provably do not work, and yet are still popular amongst the people they let down again and again.
Anyone who could write a book with advice that worked the way this purports to would be too rich to need Kickstarter to fund his books, for a start.

You should, however, ( assuming your ideas are correct ) be able to look at a company and tell if it is following your ideas or not and will therefore ( assuming your ideas are correct ) be successful or not, and therefore make billions investing.
Have you done that ?

If you drop a dumb bomb on an area, it kills everyone there.
If you release an autonomous drone in an area, it will probably kill everyone there, but might use its AI to decide not to kill some people there.
Why is the latter worse than the former ?

"Similar analyses were done on wheels, which were observed to be sequentially numbered (i.e., 1, 2, 3, ..., N)."
Ah. So that's what sequential numbers are.

YET ANOTHER story about how great AI is...

Stop this nonsense - you are embarrassing yourselves and fooling no-one.
