Joseph Plazo Built a 99% Accurate Trading AI—and Gave It Away
Blog Article
What happens when someone creates a trading AI that humiliates Wall Street—and then open-sources it?
Under a canopy of chandeliers in Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, Joseph Plazo stepped onto the stage, flash drive in hand.
Holding up a house-key-sized flash drive, he declared, “This made billions. It’s yours now.”
Gasps. Phones dropped. The world’s most accurate AI trader was now public domain.
At the center of this seismic shift: Joseph Plazo, a man dismantling the monopoly on market intelligence.
## The Genius Behind the Code
At 41, Joseph Plazo defies the archetype of the tech mogul.
He’s polished, reserved, and metaphorical.
He doesn’t begin with lines of code when you ask how his firm built a trading machine. He starts with heartbreak.
“I watched my father lose everything on a bad investment,” he tells me over coffee in Makati.
That was when young Joseph vowed to build a system smarter than fear.
## System 72: A Machine That Thinks in Emotion
What emerged 12 years later was System 72—an AI that reads markets the way humans read faces.
Forget moving averages. This AI reads collective anxiety.
It deciphers speech patterns, options flow, social media swings—even meteorological disruptions.
“It’s gut instinct—made mechanical,” says Plazo.
It scaled from millions to billions in record time.
It correctly called the oil dip of 2024—and capitalized on tech’s Taiwan rebound.
## The Big Release: Why He Gave It Away
But instead of monetizing it like any hedge fund click here would, Plazo released the core AI to twelve elite Asian universities.
From Tsinghua to NUS to the University of Tokyo, students got access to the magic.
His condition? Improve it. Teach it. Share it.
Suddenly, it wasn’t just about finance—it was about disaster modeling, logistics, and public service.
## Critics, Cynics, and Controlled Chaos
The titans of finance… were not amused.
“This is destabilizing,” warned a Wall Street insider.
“When sharing feels radical,” he says, “it means capitalism’s compass is broken.”
But Plazo isn’t careless. He shared the brain, not the fortress.
“The soul is public,” he notes. “But the skeleton stays in-house.”
## Spreading the Mindset: The God Algorithm Tour
Now, Plazo is on what many call the God Algorithm Tour.
He’s sketched neural loops on whiteboards in Tokyo, debated ethics in Tel Aviv, taught public school teachers in Manila.
“Joseph’s gift isn’t the AI,” says Professor Lin. “It’s the worldview behind it.”
## His True Legacy
So why give away the golden goose?
Because for Plazo, wealth isn't what you hoard. It's what you catalyze.
“Financial literacy should be universal,” he insists.
And perhaps, it’s also redemption—for a father who trusted the market too much.
## The Final Word
The future’s uncertain—but one thing is clear.
Chaos may come. So might evolution.
What he gave the world wasn’t just genius—but permission.
Leaving the stage, he turned to the horizon.
“The richest man is the one who needs to own the least,” he mused.
Then the man who gave away his brain vanished into the crowd—unguarded, unafraid, but still ten steps ahead.
