The whole conversation between Klein and Huang is excellent. The section "Do we need more regulation?" starkly shows two different worldviews.
It’s very likely that a fruit fly (~150k neurons, ~100m synapses) could do basic portfolio construction for a fundamental PM— orthogonalizing 100 alphas to a few important factors and scaling them.
The problem is training on the job. But with enough bananas, I am optimistic we could get it done.

The opening of hedge fund offices in Athens has generated more enthusiasm for all things Greek than Nolan’s Odyssey.
Second golden age for Attica coming.
As in: regulating *something* may or may not justified; it's complex; it takes time. If, as a prominent policy maker or member of the executive branch, you choose to make a public pronouncement on the need to do it NOW, based on something that a random guy with no special qualifications says, that says more about your partisan loyalties and political expediency than anything else.
You are not serious people.

Miura. Stratos prototype. Countach […] Revuelto. 60 years later, we have proof that Marcello Gandini made the most durable and beautiful design in the history of sport cars.
And he designed cars by himself, at his kitchen table.

I really don’t want my de-identified reasoning to help OAI make some financial model.
Open Source specialized models NOW.
We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work.
We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem.
While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.
However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).

AI may have “solved mathematics”, but it has made human interactions a lot more complicated.
Game-of-Thrones-level more complicated.
This long article on country people vs AI data centers is one of the best I have read recently. The WSJ has good reporters (and especially good financial ones).
