Damn, that's genius. Laundering insider trading knowledge through an AI. How did you learn of this? I bet there is a huge black market for selling insider trading knowledge.

if you want to see a real racket check out paper gold, its fractional reserve banking set up with gold and zero oversight

Good scam if you're the one creating 'gold' out of thin air. Though if people are entering it willingly and knowingly, then it's just a lottery system, like playing musical chairs with your money.

How did you learn of this?

anything can be laundered

I work with a guy who is clinically paranoid. My theory is that paranoia evolved as the inversion of psychopathy--a sort of anticipatory mental defense against manipulation. Those who have it come up with all these schemes that are so insane they straddle the line between actually working, and no one believing them if they heard about it. The paranoid just assume people are trying to do it to them, instead of them trying to do it to others.

And we can also see the most successful psychopaths actually merge the two: paranoia to generate the schemes, and psychopathy to remove the moral compass.

This is a very insightful idea!

I’ve had the thought before that a major difference between me and my normie friends and family is they simply don’t understand how selfish and bad some people can be, while I understand the motivations that drive large numbers of people, people similar to is and then and people different. In other words, normies struggle imagining the world from perspectives outside of their own. I could see this certainly being related to paranoia.
