No comment is made in this article on the irony of the organization "Man Group" fostering an AI

At least, i didn't find it on my skim.

H/T Matt Levine's Money Stuff newsletter, which is filled with adorable snark about blockchain and silicon valley.

Interesting. I didn't know about the 2010 Flash Crash (that doesn't look like a very good Wikipedia article).

I note that they disincentivize applying strategies that humans already use, so why are they surprised the AI does surprising things?

I am thrilled there might be less employment for MBAs in future. Computer scientists aren't much better but I don't think they've damaged academia as much.

I'm not sure, though, that i want MBAs running any more loose than they already are.
