Michael Reeves rigs up a camera and software that tracks a goldfish's movements to choose stock trades, tied to wallstreetbets sentiment. It is a comedic programming and electronics stunt.
Mostly invoked as a joke in threads about monkeys or darts beating professional stock pickers, and about loose definitions of AI.
