Good theory. The machines have created an equilibrium, which cannot be modified by humans lest the balance be disrupted. However, the whole system is circling the drain, on its way down to a 'null state' where the algorithms may still run, but what they trade is so far close to 0, by then the entire global system has crashed.

I used to sell large grid computing systems to wall street in the 2000's. We would literally race the firms against each other, to get that 1 nanosecond faster than the firm next door. At the time, I realized what they were doing was so far removed from what people considered 'money'.

But how is killing bankers going to help? Keep them quiet while their masters head for the hills?
