Solve self driving? How bout market prediction and just play the market forever. Why would you risk failure when you can just do nothing and make trillions?

Ahem, actual humans cannot consistently predict the market.

If someone offered me AI that drove me to work while I slept or watched movies, or AI that filled out my expense reports, I'd ask if the AI is able to scan the receipts by itself.

I'd ask the AI to go to work for me, then I'd go hiking in the mountains.

And possibly tell the AI to chat with my relatives and help them with their endless computer problems.

Just start a software consulting business. An outsourced programmer goes for $100+ per HOUR. No need to have the initial capital you need for market prediction.

Financier Martin Armstrong claims to have exactly such a system but it doesn't predict the market, it only makes quite accurate market forecasts.

I have heard about this guy's forecasts but have been unable to find a list of predicted vs actual. Do you know of such a list?
