Jane Street just ate a $15B loss in July
Why? They had exposure to some AI hedge fund called Situational Awareness
Let that sink in — one of the smartest prop trading firms on the planet, the guys who basically print money in every market condition, got absolutely wrecked by an AI-driven fund
This isn't some random degen getting liquidated. This is JANE STREET. The firm that trades more $ETH than most exchanges
What does this tell you?
1. AI hedge funds are not the holy grail everyone thinks they are
2. Even the pros can get absolutely demolished when things go sideways
3. Risk management > everything else
People love to talk about AI taking over trading, but nobody talks about what happens when the model breaks. When correlations flip. When liquidity vanishes
$15B gone in a single month
That's more than most crypto projects will ever be worth
Stay humble out there
