oran_ge · x · 2026-11-03
The author connects several data points suggesting AI is quietly penetrating financial decision-making: research showing AI influences experts' decisions without their awareness; Goldman Sachs banning traders (but not quant strategists) from using Claude Code; and Workbuddy's top use case being stock trading. He observes friends and investors already delegating stock picks and research to AI, and asks whether every future trade will be AI-influenced — and whether humans can realistically retain independent judgment.
