Anyone looked at buying S&P sector-specific ETFs? For people who want to keep their portfolio spread as widely as possible, but are frightened by how tech-heavy the S&P index is, these seem a good option. But they all seem to have high costs (the first one I pulled up is 0.39%).

GenAI is barely out of the research phase and is only now being fine-tuned for specific applications. Check back in 3 years.
What a bad article. I mean how biased can you be, to put the first big quote from someone who wrote a book called "The AI con". Come on! This feels like the "deepseek r1 is the death of nvda" of 6 months ago. Someone is making a play, and whoever wrote this article fell for it. gpt5 has always been about making a "collection of models" work together and not about model++.

> gpt5 has always been about making a "collection of models" work together and not about model++. That is revisionist history. Look at Altman's hype statements in the weeks and months leading up to gpt5, some of which were quoted in the article. He never proposed gpt5 as what you're saying and indeed he claimed a massive leap in model performance.

There's also another one, earlier that says gpt5 will be about routing things to the appropriate model, and not necessarily a new model per se. Could have been in a podcast. Anyway, receipts have been posted :)
After the crash, tech "industry leaders" will struggle to explain why/how they were conned into believing that intelligence was a simple database function with some probability and statistics sprinkled on top.
Those talking heads haven't had to mea culpa for : Hype about Hadoop, hype about blockchain, hype about no code, hype about the previous AI bubble, hype about "agile", hype about whatever JS script is popular this week, etc.

Meanwhile Claude is helping me build a robot and is also writing the code that runs its subsystems but okay. Sure, I could do it all myself(maybe?) but not nearly as quickly or in the interstitial moments of life.
Sounds more like you're helping Claude build a robot.

Source? Others are calling out this as being incorrect, so a source would help people evaluate this claim. Personally I'm much more likely to believe that AI companies are moving the goalposts rather than making significant leaps forward.
Meh. Crashes come when there was no real business value. I use AI all day and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
that didn't stop the housing bubble in the 2000s.
likewise, if I argue that Dutch "Tulip mania" [0] was a bubble, "but tulips are pretty" is not an effective counter-argument. tulips being pretty was a necessary precondition for the bubble to form.
the existence of a foo bubble does not mean that foo has zero value - it means that the real-world usefulness of foo has become untethered from market perceptions of its monetary value.
The author isn't exactly a thought leader in the space, or really any space for that matter. Opinion worth nothing.
