Manhattan-Project styled Big Science megaproject to fully simulate a rat brain by 2050 so that it can be trained to trade the cable ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_(foreign_exchange) ).

There must be some LLM based trading bot, no? Must be. There's AI toothbrushes for Christ's sake.

I interviewed at Two Sigma in 2018 and got the impression they were already getting very deeply into using AI. I'm sure they are using LLMs to analyze news articles, etc. I bet a high schooler has probably hooked up an LLM to a trading bot.

If you can imagine ANYTHING can be used to gain a market edge, there are probably scores of very smart people who are trying it/have tried it/have figured out it wouldn't work.

The only exceptions are if it's something so small a big firm wouldn't care much about it, or you have special knowledge of a technology that most people barely know about.

The interesting part about this is the value of "small".

True. "Small" can mean many millions of dollars.
