Is it that easy to troll supposedly smart people and AI?
- paulpauper 9y agoBots exist that trade off headlines..for example, mergers. here's one example http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3023220/Wall-Street-trader-makes-2-5million-just-MINUTES-buying-selling-shares-tech-company-following-news-Twitter.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3023220/Wall-Street-...
- garmaine 9y agoNeither people nor AI are generally smart.
- tim333 9y agoSometimes the traders trading on headlines are smart and are counting on less smart people to act on the headline a bit later. By the way I don't think that techcrunch article will effect anything much. It's a bit dumb - a bankrupt Tesla wouldn't leave functional assets in the same way that the channel tunnel did for example.
