@cnbc: Hedge-fund manager Brian Kelly has his staff working 24/7, yet his payroll costs are a fraction of what they once were. That’s because Kelly — who previously ran a cryptocurrency hedge fund — created his new trading firm, Bracket22, to be powered entirely by agentic artificial intelligence.

People in the comments thinking this is about replacing jobs, no, this is actually about ‘saving the U.S. economy’, allow me to explain: The federal reserve chairman, Kevin Warsh, during his Jackson hole speech said AI productivity must become a new factor in measuring U.S. production and GDP growth in order for the U.S. growth to exceed its debt and obligations. The treasury secretary selling short term t-bills, allowing the RRP to be drained and used in AI capex is part of this push towards banking on this growth and they want/need to see deflationary growth, with job numbers remaining healthy. The key phrase you will hear increasingly more often in the propaganda pushing this out to businesses, investors and everyone is “10x”… such as the “10x engineer”, “[it] has made us 10 times more productive”, “our employees have increased their output by 10x”. The U.S. economy needs this sentiment to hit and stick or the alternative is a major recession with stagflation. They need AI tool adoption to increase at pace or exceed the infrastructure build out and in needs to start happening yesterday.

well simple thing is if you work is replaceable by the AI then your business is already irrelevant because now it's the talent of AI not the person

You all can do this as well. He did none of the work, he hired an AI programmer or two to set this up. Trust, in the future, there will be AI users who will strong arm these AI models, AI vs AI. One made to make money off the stock market, the other made to make money off the other by making it lose.
