I'm sure it depends on your situation. Besides, if you're not getting back at the government, who cares.
The poll itself seems ill structured to be honest. All you have is price, volume, and time information for trading. I don’t see how ML is going to change the game outside of HFT arena. All I read from the op here was how his algos are great because it uses better chips with multiple programming languages (how does statistics and algos differ by using faster chips?), and those interested in investing can message him. There was zero discussion about machine learning itself, despite others showing deeper knowledge than him.
Agreed. People often talk of ML/AI as a single entity that will compete against humans. If that were true, maybe ... only maybe ... a single ML/AI system would maintain some kind of unique edge. Of course 100's to 1,000's of firms are incorporating individual, uniquely tuned, ML/AI systems in their trading practices. As ML/AI systems compete against each other, it seems like each system's unique edge would get diluted ... and xavik's 'never ending cycle' would come into play. At some point, isn't each ML/AI system just another trading entity to find an edge and use it as long as possible? Welcome to the jungle.
