Lol. Just read how major trading firms are switching to "model free" neural nets for market planning.

And while economic models are indeed full of poo poo, letting computers drive themselves entirely by functional analysis is a great way to separate number even more from reality

Looking forward to the trading equivalent of this:

A program designed to simulate efficient ways of braking an aircraft as it landed on an aircraft carrier learned that by maximizing the force on landing—the opposite of its actual goal—the variable holding that value would overflow and flip to zero, creating a practically catastrophic, but technically perfect solution.

the initial leak said the loss was mostly one-time ipo related right

which, true, but "Excluding stock-based compensation, Uber’s losses were around $1.3 billion, roughly 30% worse than in the preceding quarter."

so many people buying expected the non-sbc loss to be smaller or trending in the other direction

there was a google docs spreadsheet or something kicking around for a while that listed a bunch of them with references and was fuckin hilarious, wish I could find it now. poo poo like an evolutionary system to design a simulated walker that learned that if it just made the legs long enough it could collapse from the start point right into the end zone and technically win the simulation. A.I is made by us and is therefore as lazy and dumb as we are.
