Consider that Virtu Financial “recorded only a single day of trading losses in the 1,238 trading days that comprise the period between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2013…” Note the end date. As that remarkably successful run occurred when artificial intelligence was just a topic and not a tool, one wonders what’s possible today—not only for Virtu but for anyone with access to artificial intelligence. Are we to seriously believe that with AI, Virtu has not improved upon its stellar record? Citadel Securities and Jane Street Capital have not found a way for AI to improve their high-frequency trades? Imagine if everyone could effortlessly do tomorrow what Virtu achieved 12+ years ago. https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2026/06/25/who_will_need_the_state_when_ai_provides_universal_basic_income_1190488.html
