Digital Ray Dalio
The Future Shape of AI, AI in Law Especially
“If anyone does, as a Data Man, Ray gets jazz” Bless Ray Dalio.
Small datasets. Bespoke datasets. Bespoke bots. SLM > LLM. Nothing extraneous. AI is human. HumanAI. Humanaity. Personified AI.
Been ringing this bell for over two years. Now the markets are catching up. And we are all going for a ride.
These are very exciting times for AI and especially AI in Law.
These are exciting times for humankind in this “hinge of history.”
This means YOU.
No one can question the absolute world-altering power of the “LLM Age of AI.” For the first time in history catalogic, direct, retail, and conversational AI — serving up answers for humans, data abundance.
Yet we also knew that the general + generic + giant LLM databases [and the wrappers built upon them] were only level-setting the stage, and humankind, for AI’s future.
“Truly specific AI.”
Firstly, even if nothing larger were afoot, you should know just the value of this “little thing” or “just a bot” as I have been told by countless partners, suitors, investors, builders.
A word about Ray:
Ray Dalio, born August 8, 1949, in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, is an American billionaire investor, hedge fund manager, and philanthropist, best known for founding
Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund [nearing 100 B in AUM].
Growing up middle-class family, son of a jazz musician, Dalio developed an early interest in investing, buying his first stock at age 12.
MBA Harvard Business School. Launched Bridgewater in 1975 from his apartment, pioneering a systematic, data-driven approach to investing, notably through the firm’s Pure Alpha strategy, which revolutionized risk management and portfolio diversification.
Dalio’s investment philosophy, rooted in radical transparency and principles-based decision-making, is detailed in his bestselling book Principles: Life and Work (2017). A prominent philanthropist, he spares nothing in generosity — sharing with everyone “how to do it” daily on LinkedIn and X, and in a variety of (many/most completely free of charge) cutting-edge media tools.
A generation ago we heard,
“When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen”
Today:
“When Ray Dalio talks, people listen and talk back”
Ray Dalio dives into the leading use case for AI for the future, creating with his AI team a bespoke AI bot of himself. Well, his thinking, insight, experience, lessons, and Principles.
It is no less than what Steve Jobs predicted in the 1980’s, “What if you could have a conversation with Aritstotle?”
And now Mr. Dalio has gone and just done it.
Converse with one of history’s greatest investors, in his own words considering and weighing yours and responding — to know, to learn, to grow, to achieve.
His unique expertise, experience, insights, humor, words, thoughts, Principles. You at 2am or a weekend Sunday trying to make decisions for the week upcoming. In your pocket at the golf course or soccer pitch.
Groundbreaking, incredibly generous, TIMELESS, something of permanent value you could not have had previously even were you to pay and sit for two years at “Harvard B School.” #MoreThanHarvard Always on.
This is the future of AI.
This is what is meant by the “Abundance Age” of AI.
This is how AI transcends the noise of an reddit wikipedia youtube-packed database past into a future which will deliver real true value unavailable ever before in history, often for FREE, or a cost far less than the value that you receive.
And it’s just always the beginning todays. Wait till you see Law.
“Pure Alpha AI.” (!!!) Best AI is like a data jazz set — it vibes with one, it vibes with the other; “inputs” leading to “outputs” which themselves make for new “inputs.” You know the performers (the data) yet they constantly surprise and delight you mixing their tunes with your listening.
One of the smartest and most competent investors in the history of the world, and you get to converse with him when you want about what you want.
Of course I jumped to immediately sign up for the BETA Release of the “Raybot” or the “Daliobot” and eagerly await its arrival. The term “bot” can be loaded, perhaps “PrinciplesChat with Ray Dalio” is better.
