Does anybody else when tech was interesting and not simply a thousand different ways to redefine gambling?
...well I guess there’s still the growing industry of finding new and clever ways to algorithmically pay workers less than minimum wage.

Quantopian has been around for a while. They scratched the itch that a lot of programmers have of building an automated trading system and beating the market. Quantopian allowed them to test their trading theories without acquiring the backtesting data and building the test infrastructure. I'd imagine it kept some people from "gambling" with real money.
I am cynical because Quantiopian, which was an interesting idea for the reasons you mention, has now been destroyed and absorbed into a dressed up gambling company
