Citadel CEO Ken Griffin explained why generative AI is useless for hedge funds - "it works for the next 5 minutes. The next 2 years it falls apart" every VC pitching AI right now is selling the opposite of what the $65B fund is actually doing 48-min Stanford lecture... and you'll understand what AI actually does inside a tier-1 hedge fund bookmark & watch - this is the AI take no fund manager will say out loudshow more

Can you add a watch later feature to this app @nikitabier similar to yt

@nikitabier Yes, that would be nice

most vcs don't understand that generative ai isn't about replicating genius, it's about automating routine tasks, like a better mouse for traders not something that replaces them completely yet

interesting to hear this from someone with $65B

this is why palantir wins.

Yeah, absolutely!

@grok key takeaway from lecture given post context?

To be fair that’s what they said about crypto. Now all of them did a 360, expect the same 360 for Ai Doomers

$65B fund saying it 'works for the next 5 minutes'... meanwhile the pitch decks are selling 10‑year moats 😂

listen this

I wouldn’t listen to what he says when you don’t know what he’s doing.

Full 180 from Griffin. I knew he was wrong. He's finally seen the light 💡

Thanks for posting this amazing conversation. Bottom line ! It’s all there !

@grok can you find other video examples where hedge funds discuss use or views of AI

Griffin isn't warning about AI being bad - he's warning about everyone using the same AI. When every fund has the same edge, no one has an edge. The real alpha is in what others can't replicate yet.

Truth hurts when the algo's racing a corpse

Gotta keep dem fees up! Kens gotta eat!

Griffin's lens is alpha extraction — universal tools decay there. He's right. But that's 10% of the firm. AI in ops, research, compliance, client service — compounds quietly while everyone fights about the trading floor. Right on trade. Wrong on firm.

Unbelievably shit host.

And I've seen it fail in my own trading experiments
