Knight's blow-up was a process/sysops failure, not due to their strategies going wonky.
[As a side note I believe their core strategies were human-analyst designed, not ML based, but I could be wrong.]
I'd think one would make a lot of money shorting such outfits.
The other capital that blew up from the comments suggest it was more of a human error that led to deployment failures which is exactly why AI hedge funds is such a paradox. At the end of the day, it's humans that's deploying and building the model to be approximately right with high degree of accuracy but in the day trading environment it is a poor model for success-not only do you have to be right your monetary exposure must be right...."but proper money management and you will be fine" said everyone who took part in this zero sum game.
I don't know, prove me wrong, I'm sure those ivy league engineers on wall street aren't getting paid dimes for what they do.
