Investors can gain knowledge for free with AI but need to do the 'hard work' to gain in market
OpenAI. He’s also probably the best ‘educator’ about AI on YouTube, and anyone whose vocation collides with AI should watch him. The exciting thing about Karpathy’s videos is that there is just a handful of them and the educational ones are at least an hour long. This is not ‘insta’ material, and it’s hard work watching them.
The post I mention is precisely about this— ‘shortification’ of learning, as he calls it. He writes, “There are a lot of videos on YouTube, TikTok, etc., that give the appearance of education, but if you look closely, they are really just entertainment. This is very convenient for everyone involved: the people watching enjoy thinking they are learning (but actually, they are just having fun). The people creating this content also enjoy it because fun has a much larger audience, fame and revenue… Learning is not supposed to be fun… the primary feeling should be that of effort. It should look a lot less like that ‘10-minute full body’ workout from your local digital media creator and a lot more like a serious session at the gym. You want the mental equivalent of sweating. Allocate a four-hour window. Don’t just read, take notes, re-read, rephrase, process, manipulate, learn.”
Every word he writes is 100% true for those trying to learn about investing online. In theory, it’s easy to access all the information you need to invest profitably, and most of it is available for free. The question is, are investors able to do it?
