Becoming a ghost in the machine could have financial benefits, but for who?
The savviest traders in the world could one day allow their expertise and financial portfolios to live on long after they’ve died through the magic of artificial intelligence.
At least that’s the premise increasingly being pitched by AI enthusiasts and futurists such as Ray Kurzweil and Elon Musk. Other insiders, such as Anthropic AI’s Dario Amodei, believe that the technology necessary to make this possible — called “mind uploading” — will eventually be created, but not within the next decade.
On the other hand, a potential collaboration between OpenAI and the late Eddie Van Halen could serve as an accelerator for that timeline.
