@Prepper Pete
AI "voices" are so inhuman sounding to the (my) ear, lacking the dynamics that our larynx and vocal folds can inflect into the words we speak. So much so, I find AI grating, grammatically and tonally annoying which finds me bolting for the mute/off button.
No doubt as AI evolves even I will be hoodwinked, 'nuff said...

I would genuinely like AI to investigate Covid or global warming bull****, ohhh actually is off limits lol , cause any real scientific view would seriously differ from our existing narrative...

I am not sure asking it to investigate things would do any good, I asked an AI generator to make a portrait of me and look what it did to my hands, Hahahaha. You get some wacky results with AI
. And anyway, I don't think you would accept the results if it went against your pre existing Ideas, you don't seem to accept the results put out by the intelligence of the scientific community.

Haha, lol, those hands remind me of Princess Kate's attempt at Photoshopping... she obviously was using AI enhancements </snickering>I am not sure asking it to investigate things would do any good, I asked an AI generator to make a portrait of me and look what it did to my hands, Hahahaha.

local take.
In the dynamic landscape of technology, quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) emerge as transformative forces, poised to revolutionize industries and reshape investment paradigms.
Quantum computing operates at the subatomic level, promising to surpass the capabilities of conventional electronic chip-based supercomputers. Unlike classical computers reliant on bits (0s and 1s), quantum computers leverage quantum bits or qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously. This enables quantum computers to perform myriad calculations concurrently.
Tech titans such as IBM, Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Intel (INTC) are at the forefront, showcasing breakthroughs with experimental quantum machines. Additionally, cloud computing giants are gearing up to offer quantum computing-as-a-service, signalling the imminent market integration.
Yet, the path to fully functional quantum computers is rife with challenges. Environmental factors like temperature and electromagnetic fields can disrupt qubits’ delicate quantum states.
Despite these hurdles, IBM unveiled a 433-qubit quantum computer in 2022, aiming for a 4,000-qubit model by 2025. Meanwhile, Google eyes a quantum behemoth boasting 1 million qubits by 2029.
The potential synergy between quantum computing and AI is particularly compelling. British quantum computing firm Orca, in collaboration with Nvidia, pioneers a hybrid system merging quantum and classical processing to augment machine learning. This innovation promises enhanced output quality and reduced training time, addressing concerns over computing power bottlenecks for training large AI models.
Moreover, quantum computing is set to propel advancements in machine learning, a pivotal subset of AI. Moderna (MRNA) collaborates with IBM to leverage quantum computing and generative AI technologies in advancing mRNA vaccines.
From an investment perspective, the convergence of quantum computing and AI unveils myriad opportunities. Nvidia (NVDA), a key player in this technological nexus, spearheads growth, with its market value aiming for the trillion-dollar milestone. Such trends underscore the vast potential these technologies offer to investors.
However, formidable challenges accompany this potential. Chief among them is cybersecurity, as quantum computers pose a threat to current data encryption technologies. Companies and governments are investing in quantum-resistant algorithms to fortify data security against potential quantum breaches.
The fusion of quantum computing and AI heralds not merely a passing trend but the dawn of a new technological epoch. As quantum computers advance, they will coexist with classical supercomputers, each addressing distinct computational challenges. Moreover, the integration of quantum computing in AI will unlock novel applications, from drug discovery to environmental monitoring.
As we stand on the cusp of technological innovation, the fusion of quantum computing and AI offers a glimpse into the future. For investors, it’s an opportune moment to align strategies with these transformative advancements. By staying informed and making informed decisions, investors can harness the power of quantum and AI to propel their portfolios forward.

So many AI trading models have sprung up, but AI could not save itself from a flash crash last night.
Every dog has his day in the markets, 100 years ago the wireless, then avaiation, then dot.com. What do they all have in common? They ended up in bust.
This time will be no different

Why not add brainchip brn? Which is the only company here doing a neuron based (pure AI) chip
By far more AI than the above list imho, we could add AGL as the extra power required will be enormous.
I do not own brn but trade it with systems quite often

i went for the NZ based power/utility companies
primarily because part of the energy came from hydro and/or geothermal
my Australian based utility companies were all taken-over
but for AI i am preferring shed/data center exposure and software services suppliers ( and have some copper mining exposure

The investment environment for AI is interesting atm.
It is too difficult to pick winners and losers. NVDA, MU, AAPL, GOOG and MSFT certainly have a head start. There are many opinions out there so it is best for me to just go with my gut feeling and stick to the big guys. Governments do not like when the agenda runs away from them, so be prepared for legislation to begin affecting AI stock prices.
It is happening already in Europe, the French, Belgians and EC have begun their meddling. As for the dangers of AI, who knows.

more regulation ?
haven't we drowned in that yet ( not to mention the extra public servant salaries )

I'm more worried about Extinction Rebellion being a sponsor, their aim is to destroy life as we know it and take us back to gathering food while we live in caves.

i still haven't found the cave ( rumored to be on this property ) , the big issue is trespassers harvesting the food
( because extinction rebellion will what YOUR cave and YOUR food )

I wouldn't worry yourself too much about ER. These mobs are often just a safety valve to root nutters out in to a manageable space so that their visibility enables their extinction eventually.
Now to get back on topic @JohnDe and @divs4ever , I bought two carrots at the supermarket last Friday.
