Forte of the gaps :-) I'm exactly the same.

Heredity is only one of many flavours of cronyism.

I'm working on a native code backtester that compiles pinescript strategies, and (hopefully) runs them super fast. Also a parameter optimiser with different scoring methods.

I thought Claude Monet - Impressionist techniques applied to coding.

"the dumb money"

maybe different preparatory "system" prompts?

Why can LLMs not be responsible for things? (genuine question - I'm not certain myself).

because it doesn't have any skin in the game and can't be punished, and can't be rewarded for succeeding. Its reputation, career, and dignity are nonexistent.

On the contrary - the LLM has had it's own version of "skin in the game" through the whole of it's training. Reinforcement learning is nothing but that. Why is that less real than putting a person in prison. Is it because of the LLM itself, or because you don't trust the people selling it to you?

Are you claiming that LLMs are... sentient? Bold claim, Taylor.

Stopped anyone from doing what? Assigning responsibility to someone with nothing to lose, no dignity or pride, and immune from financial or social injury?

I think the linear least squares is like a shear, whereas the eigenvector is a rotation.

Shear with one component always in the y direction

This title is like an optical illusion, but for swearing.

No need for a formal command structure when everyone's interests point in the same direction. Self organisation will occur readily enough.
