Bottom line is: buy Yen futures to screw billionaires. Sounds pretty good to me.

Bottom line is:

* Pay your debts

* Own useful assets

* Live in a peaceful stable country

Well duh. That's obviously what everyone should try to do, but it's nice to engage in a bit of flight of fancy. I like imaging a rogue group of retail investors buying up the yen, short squeezing carry traders and sticking it to the billionaires. Real life is much more boring, and involves habitual, long term good choices.

This reads like LLM slop. The "carry trade blowing up" has been written about hundreds of time before, so it's not surprising it's so prevalent in LLM training data.

The assertion that metals tanked because of Warsh being picked, is particularly telling. Warsh is not a hawk, despite some media narratives. The Fed is stuck behind not raising rates while the debt is coming down on banking while POTUS is crazier than ever and lowering rates to raise inflation/debase the currency and debt. It's not going to take long to see where this path leads.

Not to mention that Congress is the one in control of the ship and they don't seem particularly keen on putting their hands on the wheel.

HN is full of tech savvy people. Yet an llm slop article is upvoted to the front page of HN...

Imagine how deceptive llm slop contents are to the general population.

Doubt that it’s LLM-generated given this is Justine Tunney’s project.

It is most certainly LLM generated. Nobody but an AI prompted with “connect the unwind of the yen carry trade with Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland” would have ever written something like that.

My guess is that she did a lot of research on the topic with AI then created this article partially with AI generated text.

I definitely got a strong feel of LLM output reading it. Not sure if the points themselves have any merit, but I don't think that I'll go and run to buy jpy.
