Someone Gave ChatGPT $100 and Let It Trade Stocks for a Month

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-19 02:04:16

With $100 and a dream, one enterprising Redditor turned ChatGPT into a day trader, and the results so far have been pretty remarkable. In a post on r/Dataisbeautiful, the Redditor in question — real name Nathan Smith — described his project as a "6-month experiment to see how a language model performs in picking small, [under-covered] stocks with only a $100 budget." According to a chart shared on Reddit, this literal gamble is already paying off. Using GPT-4o, one of OpenAI's most advanced mo

It’s a strange glimpse into the human mind: If you filter search results on Google, Bing, and other search engines to only include URLs from the domain “https://chatgpt.com/share,” you can find strangers’ conversations with ChatGPT. Sometimes, these shared conversation links are pretty dull — people ask for help renovating their bathroom, understanding astrophysics, and finding recipe ideas.

Meta faces antitrust investigation over AI chatbot integration in WhatsApp

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-12-19 12:31:00

In brief: Meta began integrating its AI chatbot into WhatsApp in 2024, offering users easy access to its large language model service. This move may have breached Europe's antitrust laws, and Italian authorities are now weighing whether to impose a substantial fine on the US company. The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) recently launched an antitrust investigation into Meta AI's integration within WhatsApp. In March 2025, Meta began pre-installing its AI chatbot in the messaging app, which
