3:03 pm
thursday intel, visa, alaska air group and friday caterpillar, amex and north suffered railroad. those names open their books on q4 we are looking at a serious dive in chinese stocks here in the u.s. after china's central bank left the key loan rate unchanged. just like u.s. traders and investors the chinese would love to see a rate cut, they did not get in the disappointment shop the hong kong hang seng down to two and quarter percent, the index place planting down 4.5%. jd ten sent from the three widely held stocks, the trade in the u.s. of course made in china getting hammered as investors continue to abandon ship. you have edu down five and a quarter percent, jd down 3% and ten sent also losing 3%. chinese equities are among the worst sectors, china's large-cap etf plummeting to a 19 year low in the biggest holding, 10% of
3:04 pm
that fund is in all the baba which is also crashing to a 19 year low, just to put this into perspective, 20 years ago it was priced at $60 a share, as of today's session, the low $66.63. we are slightly offset, doesn't look good if you got an ipo and adm shriveling before investors eyes, a news the company cfo has been placed on leave as it investigates accounting practices at its nutrition segment. the massive global green trader is facing a request in securities and exchange commission for documents related to the division in question. good news, a specific batch of stocks catching the markets wave and the own highs, work platform service has been pounding the a.i. drum is jumping about two thirds of 8%.
3:05 pm
that is a 52 week high, i believe an all-time high in a.i. chip giants micron and kl lacey making the equipment robotic chipmaking that is an all-time high for service that i mentioned that we have nice moves in one year highs for micron and kla. let's get to the floor show we late a lot. the best or the worst is yet to come this week in the form of the federal reserve favor inflation gauge, joy dimino proshares global investment strategist and the lonski group president john lonski. john, you get to choose. when i say big data i'm talking the feds favor inflation number, the core pce, the expectation is to see you around 3%, this comes out on friday, 3% is only 2 tons of 8% slower, we need to see this number come down there when we saw in november. >> i think is going to continue to head down provided that the economy slows. that's the important factor.
3:06 pm
those on the equity side that are betting on a lower federal funds rate have to realize the fed funds rate is not coming down unless the economy slows and increases the risk of lower-than-expected sales and lower-than-expected earnings. elizabeth: can we put up the calendar, it's jampacked with important numbers, a lot of them come thursday among them gdp the first. on fourth-quarter gdp, growth in this country, we see the stock market exploding but what about the growth in this country. >> real gdp growth on a quarter to quarter annualized basis is expected to slow from a ridiculously high unsustainable 4.9% in the third quarter to 2% and the final quarter. let's be honest real gdp has been outperforming the expectations we had earlier this year, at the start of 2023, the
3:07 pm
view was real gdp will grow by only half a percentage point. elizabeth: they were wrong they were so wrong. they said is coming in at two half percent. >> when you talk about the investing peace with the backdrop where we see pretty decent growth holding up, the labor market is tight and wages continuing to rise, inflation barely slowing, it's not down it is slowing down, disinflation, is there an area that performs better with those numbers validating certain aspects of the market. >> were filling echoes of 2000. if you look at the tech grab, s&p, tech sector, north of 30 times, the s&p 500 a little bit north of 20, the good news, the ten year rates in stocks are driven by the tenure not the fed funds don't focus on the fed were to order basis higher, they were 6%. some sort of rotation makes a lot of sense, the problem the
3:08 pm
equal weight s&p 500 will solve all your problems. except in the 493 summer left behind for good reason. in our view equal weight is not enough, it's part of the solution to us we see an opportunity in looking at the 493, equal weight but high-quality. for us it's dividend growers, we have ticker ovl that focus on the aristocrats and their the companies that were growing earnings. elizabeth: they might not be the sexiest in their sherwin-williams. target, a bunch of names, franklin resources, a sippy global, stanley, black & decker, walgreen loose alliance, they are reliable dividend payers. >> are so many ways to look at this. i look at this last earnings recession. the s&p has shrunk earnings year-over-year all through 2023. i'm not sure the fourth-quarter will be any better but those aristocrats showed up with positive earnings growth and they're on sale right now. >> the s&p did so incredibly
3:09 pm
well, doesn't repeat anything close to that. >> i think is highly unlikely. i would be happy if it's up by 5% this year, may i add something you touched on this a moment ago 3.7% and implement rate, that is a historically low jobless rate in the wording here, there really isn't that much room for the economy to grow more quickly without risking faster wage growth and without a return of rising price inflation. you're in a tough spot right n now. elizabeth: expect you have narratives that are powering the market. ibm is a dividend payer in the noble fund. it is also done pretty darn well lately just like service now pounding the a.i. table, working to talk a lot more about a.i. with one of the biggest experts coming up in just a few minutes, that said what you make of the moves that a been so outsized in the a.i. names. >> at least this time around
3:10 pm
there are real earnings in the tech sector. i think the most important thing about a.i. in any kind of disruption is to figure out in which slices of industry that disruptive benefit will go to the incompetence in which will go to new entrants. in this instance, some of the a.i. benefit looks like it's going to go to incompetence, not necessarily brand-new companies that the real important distinction. elizabeth: is a real let microsoft and meta hit brand-new highs today and then they retreated, the both of the red, not by a lot does that tell you something about equity investors at the moment where there a little jittery. >> your little jittery because they realize they're probably going to have to do without the earlier expected support of a lower federal funds rate, in march that's not going to happen so they get to be more cautious. elizabeth: does anybody like treasuries, the short-term 5%.
3:11 pm
>> i think the view on the fed is a little narrow because the correlation of pe multiples is to the tenure not the fed funds, we just got that rally from 5 - 4% and we got a big equity rally, that's in the rearview mirror, the glass half full at the fed is a little late i don't think it does much damage to the market. >> only problem with what you're saying, we have a situation with the ten year treasury that is so much lower than the fed funds, the ten year yield is 4.1%, the fed funds is almost 5.4%. this tells me it's going to be very difficult for the ten year yield to drop under 4% to head to 3.7 or 3.5% without the fed rate cuts. elizabeth: the six month treasury if you're scared to invest in stocks is yielding 5.4%. why not park some money there. >> you should on the fixed income why not stay short for a
3:12 pm
little bit longer, on the equity side look at the tenure, two plus two is four, kindergarten that drives the ten year treasury, we have to present long-term inflation expectation, 2% real that is fault i don't think the tenure gets much more below for but ultimately, the fed has to cut. happens a quarter later i don't think that's a big deal. elizabeth: wonderful to have you both. looking at the dow up 123 points, elon musk echoing predictions there will be a billion humanoid robots on earth when the next two decades. look at that. that is scary. does that mean a humans versus machine war will soon follow a.i. expert and nyu professor gary marcus is here to tell us if we should fear the robots next. or at least fear meta, we'll talk about that to.
3:13 pm
investors for the moment are all in, the robotics and artificial intelligence etf ticker ir vio up more than 15% over the last year. "the claman countdown" returns in just a moment, the dow now 18, call it 17 points away from 38000. ♪ i'm so glad we did this. i'm so glad we did this. i'm so glad we did this. i'm so... ...glad we did this.

3:17 pm
elizabeth: forget the metaverse, meta is going all in and artificial intelligence we have been telling you how engaged mark zuckerberg has been about this. he just revealed in the past couple days that the social media giant has placed a massive order with nvidia for at least 350,000 gp use, those are graphic processor units, the microchips that boost generative
3:18 pm
a.i. services, again at least $25000 per chip, zuckerberg is throwing more than 10 billion into the arms race, he promises will responsibly create open source a.i. for all, last night a premier source for a.i. development swatted at the claim by the facebook. signed as gary marcus posted on x that on 2021 it was estimated that 100,000 inappropriate pictures a day were sent to kids and meta could not figure out how to use a.i. to stop it, how is a social media giant going to figure this out, joining me in my psychology and neuroscience intelligence founder gary ma marcus, he thinks you sound skeptical but if you're judging by what they were able to do in 2021 a.i. has made leaps and bounds in its abilities over the
3:19 pm
past year, are you being fair when it comes to the promises the a.i. on behalf of meta could clean something up. >> it has in a hazard. think back to windsor coburg went to the senate and famously he said saturday we sell ads the other thing at the famous testimonies into the senators we're going to settle the fake news problem and he certainly has it if you think about a.i. and understands whether it's true or not in the word of the year according to dictionary.com in 2003 was a hallucination in it make stuff up all the time. there is a lot of problems with current a.i., zuckerberg is talking about general intelligence were pretty far from general intelligence we have a new form of a.i., people call it generative a.i. that can solve some problem ends helpful for computer programmers and makes a lot of mistakes all the time it's not really reliable
3:20 pm
and don't think were close to generative a.i. even zuckerberg's chief a.i. officer has recently said large language model suck and the technology is not fully baked, that's realistic were not really there and maybe we can talk about the notion of meta a.i. doing anything responsibly. elizabeth: let's talk about what a.i. has been able to do and what it can't do what it uses is input is only good as what goes in, if junk goes in, junk is going to come out, openai is trying to feed in a bunch of legitimate news sources and their information in the new york times said you don't get to train your openai chat bot, chat gpt with our content if you're not paying the sport, they filed
3:21 pm
suit, copyright infringement, they are litigating in openai says it's without merit, which side you think will win on this. >> it'll probably settle i don't think openai can remotely afford for it to go to court. there is a chance the president will be set and say you can't use copyrighted materials and they told the house of lords that they cannot make their software work without using copyrighted sources. what's going to have to happen, openai and a lot of the a.i. companies are good have to license a stock you that is going to cut heavily into the profit margins. openai cannot afford to lose in court, that gives the new york times a lot of leverage to craft a settlement and be an issue of money and there would be an issue of openai can use their stuff and you can use stuff that is-year-old but you can't use anything else, that's our deal,
3:22 pm
take it or leave it. in a.i. can't live without it they don't have the memes without retraining gpt five might cost a billion dollars. elizabeth: you have to have the updated information and basically if it spews out exact verbiage that is plagiarism. you have started in the past couple of months to look specifically and discuss specifically on your sub stock articles about visual plag plagiarism, explain what were looking at either to be know who that is. >> these particular images. >> a collaborative man that works in the film industry. what you see our peers, he discovered the image on the left versus the image on the right, you're looking at something that a system called mid journey makes it it's hard to see this as anything other than
3:23 pm
plagiarism and then we did a series of experiments and show you can get this by accident, the particular examples you have on the screen he was deliberately saying showing scarlet new hansen a black widow and we did other experience where we said things like show me an italian plumber, not asking for anything from any particular place and you would wind up essentially infringing on the trademark from nintendo. elizabeth: let's just be clear show me an italian plumber and outcome super mario. >> outcomes mario. someone else read about our experiments, they said show me a golden joy that is not, these things to understand language and to understand the word not, here in these examples we set an italian plumber in the system is making an italian plumber, importantly it's not the end user what sources are, that's
3:24 pm
what plagiarism is when you re-create something and someone else you don't say where you got it. elizabeth: how are we going to put the genie back in the bottle and regulate this, do we have to make sure mega data is embedded into every photograph like this is owned by getty images or this photographer took this picture and you can't use it copyrighted. >> the a.i. that we're using right now takes a whole lot of images, break them into little pieces in makes its best guess about how to put them back together again. but it loses track of what it's doing. they can attribute of what they've gotten his only solution to license the images and that could be very expensive and cut into the profit margins. and the consequence evaluations of what we seen for the big ten a.i. companies are way higher than the going to ultimately lynn openai is a 86 billions
3:25 pm
dollars once licensee is factored in. elizabeth: let's leave our viewers with the poll in the last couple of minutes put up on twitter in the poll asked which company would most responsibly handle creation of generative a.i. and at the moment alphabet and google gets 44% anthropic with the chat bot 38%. meta at just 2%, openai at 16%. >> of mark zuckerberg wants to be banned as a responsible a.i. cavity he has a lot of work to do. it is not been seated that way it's going to make it hard to recruit people working on responsible a.i. i wish him luck, hope the company will be more responsible. in its approach to a.i. but that somehow the scene right now. elizabeth: professor gary marcus, good to see you. thank you very much. >> it was probably the logical

the escape hybrid, that's the beauty to, all of the above the answer to the energy issue and take a look at the numbers on hybrid, november in good solid statistics, the ev sales were up 25% in terms of market share, the market share for hybrids most doubled up 99%. in the ceo of kia in the new york times recently said everything should be hybrid to start with because everyone can drive a hybrid, everywhere. maybe hybrids, they have been around for 25 years, they were the darlings at one time and maybe there could be darlings again. we talked to jessica caldwell at edmonds the said don't bury the ev yet but maybe it's not quite ready for prime time, listen. >> not the people don't want them and they're going to so
