At some point, someone wrote a rule to verify DSO against other tech companies, and trigger an automated short position to correct the market changed from an earnings call.
To me, that’s pretty cool. This wasn’t magic LLM AI, this was a smart engineer that programmed a system to discover problems as they arose.
The rest of us knew it was a scam all along. and we didn’t need AI to figure that out.
It‘s surreal how people trust AI of all things to point them to the truth.
That’s just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.
