World’s Largest Hedge Fund To Replace Managers With AI.

We thought that the industrial revolution will last forever, but AI have made large swarths of redundancy throughout our industrial base. Then it hit the music industry and the vinyl record making factories closed, followed a few years later by the compact disc manufacturers. Now Bridgewater Associates, which manages $160 billion worth of funds, has a team of programmers under its wings called the Systematized Intelligence Lab, working on a project to automate decision making in its hedge fund department. This seems to be another potential venture to replace humans in the financial sector, and the reasons given are to save time and to eliminate human emotional volatility. Looks like not only hedge fund personnel, but personnel specialists too are at risks down the road. Fancy a software programme that hires, evaluates and fires humans. Well, humans are still needed to design softwares! And I do not think these latter jobs will be threatened. So we know which jobs our children should be pursuing in the future. Fascinating!

THE HUMAN BRAIN: The brain works by transmitting information between neurons (or other receptor or effector cells) through electrochemical pulses. This transmission of information is produced during synapsis. During synapsis, neurons and cells connect and through chemical charges and electric pulses and neurotransmitters are exchanged, which are in charge of activating or inhibiting the action of the other cell. The axon’s terminal buttons are the pre-synaptic elements of neural communication, through which the neuron establishes communication with the dendrites, the soma, or even another axon.

On 26th April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, Guernica, was bombed by Nazi German and Fascist Italian warplanes on the request of Spanish Nationalists.
