Investor Shaughnessy argues AI agents will take the efficient market hypothesis to the next level: ask an AI whether Lululemon or Vuori lasts longer and buy the better one, letting quality producers win and bad actors get destroyed. He cites water filtration, options execution, and surgery decisions as examples where value flows to consumers. Quoted tweet from MeltDem adds that agentic workflows unlock hedging risk with options without needing to understand derivatives — just prompt agents in open markets.
