LLM for COBF?

[investmd]

I'm wondering how can we get an LLM to summarize a COBF thread on a particular stock? ie: there could be a thread that was initiated a decade ago on COBF and has 30+ pages and we might want to get a summary of comments in first few years vs. later years.  I don't think I can put in link into ChatGPT or Perplexity - because a) it will likely only summarize the one page and b) I think we have to be members of COBF to access the thread? 

 

@Parsad: I'm sure you've been thinking about this? Is there an extension that can be added to COBF to permit?

This is what Perplexity says: 

 

 

 

Has anyone used Solid Point or Recall? I am not familiar with either. Simply download?

Just read it. You will be better off.

If you really wanted to maybe you could run a python script to extract the text and poster and then upload that into a LLM? Not sure that would be super useful though. 

 

The sad reality is in any given thread there is a large amount of noise. Reading it is the best way I would think for fundamental type analysis and scrape out the chaff. 

 

Its funny I've had similar thoughts about creating some kind of trending python type script that scraped X/reddit/other sources to try and grab some momentum stocks for trading. Then I realized theres people much smarter than me who actually know how to code who this would be a trivial matter for. Those people have probably already tried it. 

 

Though maybe they don't say much because they are making money. Or maybe because it doesn't work.

The gold is in the little tiny details. WB reads 500 pages a day not summaries that everyone can get.

There are a decent chunk of evidence that AI+human performs better than either one alone.  Reading, pre Google, pre AI may be how the bulk of these knowledge get accumulated in the past, but I think even WB has adopted Google in his flow, as technology continue to decrease the cost of acquiring knowledge.  We should try to use every tool available to us, whether it's meditation, learning to speed read (when appropriate), workout, AI/search, in order to maximize our learning.

 

I, personally, wouldn't mind some NotebookLM/summarizer to at least quickly search/narrow down certain questions I have for topics on this website (I recall seeing a couple of in-house experts on LLM/AI, but can't recall who they are rn, which a LLM would be real useful for).  I see that there are APIs from the platform that powers this websites, but have not looked into whether it's accessible or not for this website.  Maybe somebody with experience with LLM interfacing can provide some feedback on the LOE needed for that.

I tried Google Notebook LM using the Novo Nordisk thread. Added links to the first 5 pages but got access error messages on all. Tried with https:// (and minus the s). I agree that reading the pages yourself is likely the best, but it would be interesting to see if Google includes notes in the summary advising ignoring most of what I've posted.

Without risking TOS violation, what you are asking for is roughly 30 minutes of coding if you have a subscription to one of the LLMs.
