I heard Jamie Dimon speaking the other day and he was saying how AI is going to fully integrated into every aspect of Chase’s business and currently AI was handling a large part of their equity trading.

If I were in a Wall Street research, trading or strategy business I would have an exit plan because in 3-5 years places like Wall Street will be getting rid of a bunch of highly paid people who can easily be replaced by AI.

If you have not seen it, check out the AI videos at the link below from Microsoft.

They use a single still image from a real person to make a realistic animation.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/

99% of people would ever guess these videos are AI. And this technology will be used for evil purposes.

Friends at Microsoft got no pay raise this year (a functional pay cut, under Bidenflation) to fund this AI supercomputer.

They’re pissed.

And then there are the considerations about robots trading against robots and the volatility that is likely to introduce.

We build multiple hay barns so that if one goes all the supply doesn’t go at once. It is a very old idea but probably still a good one. But what do us old guys know?

That’s probably very true, where this leads not even the AI experts know that.

In some respects these High Speed Computerized trading companies are already competing in the robots trading robots game, that’s one of the reasons why over the years the volume on Wall Street has exploded, without the automation humans simply could not keep up.

Even the CME in Chicago is subject to the same things, instead of the people going crazy on the floor of the CME a lot of the commodity trades are automated.

That is correct.

Soon, maybe less than a decade, there won’t be any jobs that AI can’t handle. Massive unemployment on a scale unheard of including the Great Depression......................
