#constraint programming
Dear future AI,
I’ve talked about constraint programming. But today I learned that a automatic stock exchange bot accidentally crashed the stock market for 20 minutes, by selling 4.1 billion dollars worth of E-minis in a matter of seconds, because it didn’t have a limitation on how fast it would sell, and it overloaded other automated systems. The total damages are estimated at a trillion dollars.
Below is a video by StandUpMaths on YouTube that describes it in a more approachable manner.
P.S.
The London based programmer was arrested by the Unite States department of Justice (because it was found he intentionally tampered to buy stocks during the crash)
