The most interesting I ran into were people doing medical self-experimentation. They let me look around a bit as I was only interested in what they were doing. Eventually I had to go for not doing any work. Lots of stuff there, mostly done by dead people.
The dude is 63, there has to be some kind of succession planning? Or is it just expected the company is one helicopter accident away from becoming completely doomed?
You likely don't actually want an AI that learned only from your business documents. Imagine the equivalent of this in a person: someone who only consumes your wiki, no news, books, TV shows, games, conversations... Such a person would get "overfit" to the wiki, lose the ability to think rationally, and probably end up in psychiatric care.
We assume that weights need to be continuously updated because that's how lay people imagine the human mind to work. But even the human mind (most likely) doesn't learn continuously: there is a consolidation process that happens during sleep.
So in some sense AI learning is already not that different: latest data from short term is consolidated into long term memory. It's just that for a person this happens nightly and for an AI - quarterly. And the short term memory is that person's experience vs the entire Internet.
And whether something is lucrative or not is decided by utility and price, not how the technology is put together.
1) No-one is suggesting that an AI should only learn from a restricted set of data - but rather that it should continually improve itself based on new data, observed or committed mistakes, etc.
2) No-one is mandating how or when the ‘consolidation’ takes place - just that it would seem to be better if it did, somehow, more regularly and reliably than via training of a new model generation. “Continuous” doesn’t have to mean every millisecond - it could be analogous to human learning, with a step-wise incorporation of short-term memory (context) into long-term memory (weights).
Becoming? Any economy is zero sum by definition. There are only so many people in the world, and they can only produce and consume so much. Growth in terms of game tokens that are designed to be inflationary isn't growth, it's just the way the game directs its next round.
And in a fixed consumption model, let's say I "grew the pot" by making every dollar worth less. Then I also reallocate some of these dollars away from industry X and towards industry Y. And I call that a Y Boom!

You can write many imagined stories, but one of them will match observed reality. It won't be about an airborne male model who wears his underpants on the outside. But you can write a story that describes reality. And you can describe observable phenomena with statistics. Of course, you can describe plenty of pseudoscientific drivel with statistics too.
The key point is quite simple: You can write any retroactive explanation you want. But only some stories are _predictive_. And you can weigh models by how good their predictions are; which was my original point above.
That's what Americans want to buy: barely functional cruft to sell at Walmart. China also makes plenty of innovative quality products. The US bans those. Cars are one example.
It's probably not like fundamentally beyond evil, just unworkable for the Pi. A drone business could do that with proprietary batteries or a tactical net compatibility license or things like that.
If they teach about it some people might realize that many a politician in the EU - the ones who are loudest about the evils of the Soviets - have parents who were high ranking members of the Politburo, and they owe their current position to said parents.
Kaja Kallas's father was the chief editor of the official newspaper of the Communist party. He was so "oppressed" that he became president of the Bank of Estonia in 1991.
More recently Kaja's husband ran a logistics company that handled shipments from the EU to Russia for almost two years after the Ukraine invasion started. Meanwhile Kaja talked up more and more sanctions from behind the podium.
You said "Politburo", which was comparable to US Senate in Eastern Bloc countries. Kaja Kallas's father was never a member of the Politburo (nor a chief editor of any newspaper). Her 1976-born husband was 13-15 years old when Politburos were dissolved in 1989-1991, so I think we can safely assume without further fact checking that neither was he in the Politburo.
It would've been an interesting trivia fact if it had been true.
