If I read the back story on this correctly, then no - it's not what I mean. I don't mean to change an outcome, but rather to create a situation where you can be certain of what the oucome will be. Then you can profit.

Granted, I wouldn't do this myself as I do find ethical problems. But its a fascinating thought experiment.

And if you believe in human legacies, then you don't need AI. You just build a system and manage the players so that your offspring or their offspring can take advantage of the game you have setup. Maybe this falls into Rothschild-like territory (which I frankly don't believe humans are meticulous, lucky, and coordinated enough to pull off).
