Basic Tech Bros still don't get it. This is cool but real problem is finding/defining the problem. And you don't get a million guesses.

Here is a simple test: get me data to predict the future. Can an algo like this learn to read APIs, build scripts, sign up and pay fees, collect data (laying down a lineage for causal prediction), set up accounts, figure out how account actions work and then take actions profitably without going bust?

If it can even do the first part of this I am in. But I doubt it. This is still just at the level of "cool! Your dog can play mini golf."

Can it learn to learn to play Go on a human level? Not yet, but someday it likely will.
